Amazon.co.uk Review
Everyone is born with intuition, explains author Shakti Gawain. The problem is, most people learned to suppress the natural connection to their intuition, and were trained to solely rely on their logical, rational mind. "Many people who are not accustomed to being consciously in touch with their intuition imagine that it is a mysterious force that would come to them through some transcendent mystical experience", Gawain writes. "In fact, intuition is a very practical, down-to-earth tool that is always available to help us deal with the decisions, problems, and challenges of our daily lives".

Like Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing, Gawain spends most of the book emphasising the practical uses of this seemingly mystical skill. In her opening chapters Gawain offers relaxation and meditation exercises that nurture intuitive awareness. From there she discusses how to interpret and apply the intuitive messages we receive in our daily lives. For example, Gawain shows how intuition can help readers overcome addictive behaviours, create prosperity or heal physical ailments. It can also be used to enhance emotional stability or clarify career paths.

Gawain has a long history of writing straightforward, self-help primers that cover elusive spiritual material. Once again she has done an excellent job. Developing Intuition is a sensibly organised beginner's guide to intuition that steadily paces readers through a wealth of insight. --Gail Hudson

Another Shakti Gawain Hit
I was introduced to Shakti Gawain's writing by a friend during a particualrly low time in my life. Whilst i understand that we each have our own way of dealing with things, her books have had large impact on the way i look at my life. This book is written so the reader can follow at their own pace and has very well explained excercises that can be followed (or not if you so choose) The common sense she uses and her ablility to get her knowledge across to the everyday person is exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone who wishes to take more control of their life.

Developing Intuition Deck
Developing Intuition is a set of 52 inspirational cards meant to encourage the user to listen to that inner voice and feel what is right. Although I looked through the cards when I got them, I find that I prefer reading one per day. Therefore, I tend to pick a card each morning. Sometimes, I answer the questions or do the exercises in my journal right away. Other times, I take the day to ponder the notion or use it to remind me to be more open to the possibilities for that day.

I find that getting centered first thing in the morning does make a difference. I do make more effort throughout the day to listen to my intuition and to stay in the moment. This is especially true on days that I know are going to be stressful. I have been using the cards in random order so I could continue my daily ritual for quite some time.
