Book Description from amazon:
“Are you intuitive? Bestselling author Sophy Burnham contends that we all have hunches and sudden insights, and that we need only awaken to our innate abilities in order to develop our inner wisdom.
In this fascinating book, Burnham tells the stories of individuals who have "seen without seeing," illustrating the wondrous workings of what she calls our "intuitive hearts." Exploring a wide range of subjects-from loved ones' abilities to communicate telepathically to the mystery of the artist's inspired creativity; from animal communication to psychic powers; from scientifi c studies of premonition to the skeptics who deny the very existence of such phenomena-this is a stunning contribution from a leading spiritual thinker on a topic vital to us all.
With exercises and step-by-step instructions, this inspiring book guides readers in developing their intuitive powers and learning to trust their gained insights. According to Burnham, intuition is always right, and when you receive messages from Spirit-be it in the form of a subtle impression or a thunderous bolt from the blue-you must always, always act on them.”
My Read:
What I liked the most from this book came from page 30 and it’s written by William James:
“Our lives are like islands in the sea or like trees in the forest. The maple and the pine may whisper to each other with their leaves, and…[the islands] hear each other’s foghorns. But the trees also commingle their roots in the darkness underground, and the islands also hang together through the ocean’s bottom: Just so there is a continuum of cosmic consciousness..into which our several minds plunge as into a mother-sea or reservoir.”
