Summary: Second Sight by Judith Orloff, M.D.
Review: "Second Sight" is wonderfully validating for readers who experience intuitive flashes and psychic events, as well as a very intriguing read for those who don't. Dr. Judith Orloff's book, which engaged me immediately and felt like a conversation that ended much too soon, builds a sturdy bridge of understanding between the worlds of science and spirituality. Medical doctors and mediums alike can freely traverse Dr. Orloff's territory without feeling as though they've drifted into the enemy's camp. Dr. Orloff doesn't read palms; no psychic call-in lines or tea leaves here. She simply shares her story with warmth and candor, convincing us that it's possible to intuit more about a medical reality than meets the eye. This book offers plentiful proof of the body-mind-spirit connection. It paints a vivid portrait of a new kind of healer; one who not only taps into the rational mind to access scientific knowledge, but also heeds the psychic impressions that invisibly complete the puzzle to effect healing. Dr. Orloff knows these realms. This book gets my highest recommendation.

Summary: An enlightening blend of education and entertainment!
Review: 'Second Sight' gave me a second wind in my
spirituality and psychic work. Prior to reading this
book, I had the privilege of attending one of Dr.
Judith Orloff's speaking engagements. Watching her
communicate with the audience was to observe a dance
of heart meeting hearts, soul meeting souls, and
paradigms shifting. I could feel her taking the entire
crowd with her, on a journey to a higher vibration of
understanding.

"Second Sight" is a beautifully written illustration
of the same power Dr. Orloff reflected that afternoon.
In this book, she elegantly unveils the magic of the
intuition through many real life examples drawn from
her own unique experiences as well as the experiences
of those who have touched her life. At the same time,
she de-mystifies the psychic world by ironing out many
general misconceptions relating to the psychic, and
places it all into a perspective that is easily
digested by the mind.

Her passion for the spirit, authenticity, and

dedication to her life's work, are, to me, some of the
brightest threads in the tapestry of Dr. Orloff's
character. She writes with a humble, heart centered
approach, which adds to the fluidity of the book and
the ease with which it reads. Above and beyond all, I find her to be an extremely trustworthy guide on this
adventure of intuitive self discovery. Her story is
very empowering, there is much that can be taken from
it and applied to one's own life path. I am now very enthusiastic about reading her next book, 'Dr. Judith
Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing!'

Summary: Incredible Sight!
Review: I was totally engulfed from the very first page. Judith Orloff is truly a gifted writer as well as a gifted psychiatrist and psychic. Dr. Orloff describes in such a way every experience so you are able to feel, see, hear, touch, taste and SENSE it! It is truly a remarkable journey. I could not put the book down it touched my inner most being. She is reachable, human and at the same time unbelievably spiritually connected. You are certain after reading this book to come away knowing that everyone of us are able to connect to the divine; it is our gift, our birthright. After reading Second Sight I realize that Judith is an ordinary person with an extraordinary gift who has followed her callings and is now one of our messengers. She gives hope and light to the world. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE. You will find it has something for everyone - those who need no convincing of the psychic realm and those who are highly skeptical of it. She uses both the left and right brain beautifully.

Summary: Integrating Psychic and Analytical Abilities
Review: In Second Sight, Judith Orloff, using her own experience, describes so well what it's like to come to terms with innate psychic abilities when we live in a predominately analytical, scientific world. The relief and freedom that comes with acceptance of a hidden part of our nature, and finding that this part of us is useful, opens up a new world in which we feel so much more alive. Even though I've written my own book on this topic, I still feel relief and comfort when I read about others who are healing this left-brain, right-brain split and integrating the capacities of each into their lives. If you are struggling with this issue, you'll find Dr. Orloff's book inspiring.

Summary: Inspiring and Practical
Review: This well-written, engaging book focuses on the author's experiences as a psychic and her attempts to integrate her psychic abilities (which have made her uncomfortable in the past) into her daily life.

The author considers intuition and psychic capabilities to be one and the same, but I do not. I do not consider myself a psychic. I read Second Sight to learn how to better access and integrate my intuition (whose inexplicable conclusions have frequently made me uncomfortable) into my life and decisionmaking. This book provided me with exactly the support and information that I needed.

Reading about Dr. Orloff's struggles to merge her rational and seemingly irrational sides has inspired me to do the same. The book contains simple, practical suggestions for developing and using intuition that made it easy for me to get started and progress toward integration in my life. I now feel much more comfortable with my intuition and myself. As I've learned to trust my instincts, my decisionmaking has become less arduous, and I feel a greater peace regarding difficult choices that I have made in the past.

This book will NOT help you if you want to understand WHY psychic phenomena occur. Orloff seems to avoid this issue-- she simply presents her history. Personally, I found her approach more convincing than that of some new age psychic books which treat speculation as fact.
