Summary: I wish I had more stars
Review: Each week on a spiritual live radio show, I review a book that will assist you as you open your senses and thoughts to universal energy. So I get to read for my job! How blessed.
I look for practical and understandable books that will explain in detail for the beginner, and continue knowledge and share new techniques of learning for the old hand. YOUR SIXTH SENSE is probably one of the BEST books I could recommend to someone that believes they "may" have enhanced intuitive skills. Belleruth interviewed 40 ethical, practicing psychics and healers. She shares the common denominators that she found within this select group. Such as a high percentage of the sensitives were only children. A high ratio had suffered through either abuse of some form or extreme trauma before they noticed that they were receiving psychic information.
The book goes on to speak on how you can continue to engage in meditation, how to trust your intuition, she describes some of the terms you may hear as you venture into learning more about the use of psi, and my favorite part, she gives some terrific guidelines on spiritual and psychic ethics. Being psychic carries a huge responsibilty. I mean what do you do when you are chatting with someone, and all of a sudden you feel, hear, or see information (be it good or bad) on the person with whom you are chatting? Is it an intrusion to give information when it has not been asked for?
Read the book and see what Belleruth has to say.
I loved it.

Summary: Great! She wears neither Birkenstock's nor white lab coat.
Review: Even if it weren't for the fact that my mother wrote "Your Sixth Sense: Activating Your Psychic Potential" I'd still think it's pretty great. Mom's book is the best, most sensible and believable explanation of human psychic ability that I have ever seen. She sees psychic ability as an extension of every human being's natural intuitive and creative abilities. And with that in mind she is able to go the next step and show readers in very practical steps how they can nurture and improve their own intuitive or "psi" abilities. With 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist and a pioneer in the field of guided imagery, Mom definitely knows what she's talking about. I vouch for her: She is neither a crunchy, spaced-out, fruit loop nor a cold laboratory clinician. She's a good writer and this is a good book.

Summary: Outstanding
Review: Fantastic. Quite simply the best thing I have ever read or heard on the sixth sense and intuition. Clear, consise, level headed, informative, broad minded but grounded. Ms Naparstek has taken the time to talk to over 40 respected and experienced Intuitives like herself - people who have developed a clear and open connection with their sixth sense. She has then distilled all this experience down to two essential components: Firstly, what is our sixth sense and can any one have access to it? Secondly, what are the common features of those who have learned to contact and operate it? She answers both of these questions with grounded fact, humour and gentleness. Her general tone of open enquiry and good "right brain" (her description of herself)processing is a joy to listen to. I learned a tremendous amount about the best ways to develop my sixth sense. For example: being around people who are more spiritually developed tends to open and align our own spiritual centres. Or that the vast majority of "psychics" live in communion, in one way or another, with nature - this is where they draw most of their extra energy from. The best two hours you'll ever listen to in the general mind field of wonderous, but often scatty, world of new age exploration. A Gem.

Summary: An articulate and logical view of ESP...worth the read!
Review: For those who have slightly more than a passive interest in the dynamics of "psi" and crave more of a quasi-scientific foundation before contemplating some of the more esoteric properties of psi phenomenon, get the book and jump to Chapter Five: "Explaining It...The Physics of ESP, Love and Imagery." This to me, was the core of the book and lent a more "realistic" understanding, based in part on Theoretical Physicist, David Bohm's paradigm of the nature of reality and the universe. Don't get me wrong, not all of the book threatens to be as potentially daunting and "scientific." Much of what Ms. Naparstek writes has an affable flavor, but I believe that the chapter mentioned above should have been chapter one of the book, for it would nicely set the stage for what else is to come in the book. At any rate, get the book. Read it, then read it again...mark it up...take notes...and use it as a reference for future study - it has great resources for those who wish to expand their understanding of "Who we really are and the Universe."

Summary: Fascinating, as far as her editors let her go
Review: I found this book enjoyable but frustrating. The author had fascinating experiences of her own and they were supplemented with an equally fascinating survey of how other psychics work. What frustrated me was all the explanation in the first part of the book. Surely it's preaching to the choir to do all the explaining about psychic ability. I doubt that the true audience for the book needs any of that. Instead, I'd have preferred an expanded section on techniques, which didn't go into as much depth as I'd have liked, and lengthier descriptions from the gifted folks the author interviewed. And I'm sure the author could have delivered this if the publisher hadn't demanded all the emphasis on explanation instead. The author has a wonderful, unique voice. I really enjoyed meeting her through this book.

Summary: I could not put this book down!
Review: I often have a "knowing" about some small thing, but never thought much about it, until I read this book. This book explains so much, and in easy to understand terms. I want to share the book with the world, but do NOT want to part with my own copy. Am ordering copies for my friends in other parts of the country!

Summary: Practical Tools for Self Exploration
Review: I read this book 5 years ago. As I look back it was an important book in my developement. I had never been able to get into meditaion because my mind wouldn't be still. She gave me a different avenue to meditate and also build important self awareness. Since then I've been able to achieve traditional states of meditation but this might never have happened without this important first step. The imagery in mediation was phenomenal and hooked me immediately.

Summary: I was disappointed with this book.
Review: I was half-way through before hitting any usable information. The content of the first 112 pages was repetitious and wordy, like the author needed to fill pages. This was a small book, but put concisely, it would have been a lot smaller. The profiles of the known psychics was the most interesting part, and the 39 pages of imagery exercises was the redeeming feature.

Summary: Wow!
Review: Ms. Naparstek's new book is amazing. She shows us a whole new way to view the solid, material world that is incredibly liberating and intellectually interesting as well. (And she doesn't sound like she's writing a technical manual either, even when she's getting reeeeally technical, which isn't often anyway.) Her theories on intuition and "psychic" phenomena are incredibly un-"new-agey" and backed up with her own experience and a full set of credentials. Best of all, once she's finishing explaining it, she shows you how to enhance your own psychic awareness in simple ways you probably never thought about. No matter how skeptical you are (I am!), this book is definitely worth your time.
