Summary: The Power of Intuition
Review: The book Intuitive Healing by Dr. Judith Orloff tells us how powerful and talented we really are. The characteristics talked about in the book are fantastic and everyone can unlock them. Dr. Orloff talks about these attributes, why we might not be accessing them, the fears and about how and when we might be able to realize them. This power that we have and is all around us can apply to every facet of our lives. It can even apply where love and sex are concerned. The book was my teacher in learning what I am capable of as a human being. It gives me insight into what I am able to accomplish. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about life and use the power they have.

Summary: Brillantly done
Review: A lot of the books written on the subject seem to miss the point with glossy covers that entice you to buy - "Almost a cigar ", but here, Dr Judith Orloff is smoking Havanas with her book " Intuitive Healing" It is well written in an easy manner and guides you through a process of feelings, rediscovering your body's signals and what my ancestors knew long ago - trusting your inner voice, your spirit, to guide you through some of life's decisions - a skill we have come to ignore in these busy times. The examples she gives in the book rennosante with me and gave me insight and
brought tears to my eyes as they touched my soul.
I recommend the book to those who need a little guidance in their life and also for those who do not, as this books re- acquaints us with some of the life's skills that were ours once - Brilliantly done "

Summary: The Value of Intuitive Healing
Review: Dr. Judith Orloff's "Intuitive Healing" is as sensible as it is progressive. It is written with love, compassion and intelligence. Judith's language is welcoming, and easy to understand and embrace. I am particularly moved by her references to the health of the Earth and its relationship to human health. I applaude Dr. Orloff for helping to bring this important point to her readers' attention. From my own experience, I have learned to listen to what my body is telling me. I highly recommend this book for anyone on a healing path, and for anyone interested in learning about healing before physical challenges manifested - in other words, for everyone. Sharon Abreu

Summary: Dr. Judith Orloff's GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING
Review: GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING
By Dr. Judith Orloff, Dean Ornish In GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING, Dr. Judith Orloff portrays intuition as a normal, human capacity -- a powerful source of wisdom that anyone and everyone can and should develop. As a practicing psychiatrist and intuitive, she calls us to realize the power of being in touch with the body's innate, natural intelligence. She encourages us to learn how to understand its language and interpret its signals -- whether in the form of dreams, illnesses, premonitions, or what we might simply call "gut feeling." By developing sensitivity to our body and listening to its messages, we are able to be aware of imbalances and illnesses as they arise. We can receive inner guidance as to how they may be treated and healed. GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING offers sensitive, intelligent, practical guidance and wisdom as to how we can nurture and develop these innate abilities. Based on her own life experiences, Dr. Orloff offers a series of steps to help others get in touch with their own innate, healing capacities. This enables them to use intuition as a powerful tool in facing life's inevitable challenges. The aim is to restore wholeness of being -- harmony and balance in every aspect and on every level of our lives - whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or sexual. For that, we need to free ourselves from limited, preconceived notions about healing. We need to develop the self-confidence to know that we can connect with our body's intelligence and heal ourselves. We need to learn to listen to our body and read its signals. Learning how to sense subtle energies, listening to our inner voice and asking for its guidance, and learning the language of our dreams are further steps in this process. The techniques offered in GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING help clear blockages of energy. They open us to the fullness, joy, passion, and creative energy of life. Dr. Orloff sees illness as an opportunity for growth and transformation, not a self-inflicted form of punishment. It is a way to open up the heart. She believes that in intuitive healing, love is the most powerful healing force. Compassion for ourself is essential. In a treasure chest of stories and narratives about her own life and those of her patients, Dr. Orloff illustrates with profound clarity and insight how every illness has its own integrity and its own language. When we listen with caring attention, sensitivity, and compassion, the illness can speak to us. It can tell us how it may heal. The answer to the disease is contained in the disease itself. We need to learn how to understand its language. GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING shows us the way. Death can be a powerful form of intuitive healing. With her rare combination of immense sensitivity, vulnerability, and inner strength, Dr. Orloff shares her stories of being with each of her parents when they died. She served as the devoted caretaker of her father - a medical practitioner and anesthesiologist -- as the layers of his identity and dignity were stripped away, one by one, by the ravages of Parkinson's Disease. She witnessed how that terrible, degenerative process opened within him deeper levels of understanding and invoked a transformation of being. Her story offers a powerful vision of hope. It illustrates how intuitive healing frees us from the grip of our fears. It affirms our deepest truth. Intuitive healing gives us the wisdom, courage, and strength to learn from every experience in life - dark or light - and to grow and be transformed by it. Dr. Orloff gives examples of the power of dreams to guide and illumine our lives and steps that we may realize that power. By asking ourselves a question before retiring at night and writing down our dream the following morning, we can communicate with our inner selves. We can receive guidance from our dreams as to how to approach and avoid pitfalls in life. We can receive illumination as to what is a proper course of action among various choices presented before us. The possibilities are endless. It is Dr. Orloff's observation that the tremendous power and potential of intuitive healing has been neglected and overlooked, if not denied, by modern medicine. It is her passion to use her position as a psychiatrist to change the complexion of modern medicine -- to restore its soul -- by giving social credibility to the powers of intuitive healing. Intuitive healing can complement modern medicine. Dr. Orloff offers valuable guidance as to how we may find a doctor who will work with us in using the tools of intuitive healing. By so doing, we are empowered as patients to accept greater responsibility for our lives and for our own healing. The physician is also empowered by being able to access the innate wisdom and intelligence of his patients. It is a win-win situation. We live, today, in an age of astounding advances in science and technology. The emphasis is on creating increasingly sensitive and refined instruments to monitor, detect, and decode information in our lives and throughout the world. That approach is from the outside in. Dr. Judith Orloff offers us an approach from the inside out. She shows us the way in a series of clear and practical steps to refine and strengthen our innate ability to monitor, detect, and decode information offered by our inner self. As T. S. Elliot queried, "Where is the knowledge in information? And where is the wisdom in knowledge?" Dr. Judith Orloff's book, GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING, shows us the way to tap into our inner source of knowledge and wisdom. She offers a path toward wholeness and integration -- toward harmony with our inner and outer environment -- toward communion and communication with our inner selves and with the forces of nature. GUIDE TO INTUITIVE HEALING offers a healing balm to our hurting world. Dr. Orloff has offered a gift to humanity and to the whole of life.

Summary: A 'How To' book to achieve comfort with your own intuition
Review: If you are 'clueless'about your intuitive powers (as I was at the outset) and want to tap them quickly and deeply, then this book is for you.
The author provides very practical, step by step, methods to awaken these nascent powers within. She is very generous with revealing her own 'voyage' toward self-discovery. Her sincerity and honesty makes it very easy to trust her methodolgies. Thus, the book becomes real for the reader and plausible for the sceptic.
I began my journey toward self-discovery with a vow to grow spiritualy and become willing to let God's will take control of my life. Intuition was never a strong suite for me. I felt that in order to grow spiritualy I would have to learn how to trust my inate intuitive powers. This book does this....in spades! As a physician, I can relate to the author's scientific background and approach to the subject. Having been trained in the traditional ways of allopathic medicine, I have tended to be dubious of claims that could not be proven via controlled experiments. This book opens new vistas of possibilities for me. My intuition now tells me that there is definitely 'more' out there than I ever imagined. That 'more' cannot be proven by old methodologies. The reader is introduced to a new way of thinking and proving to himself that there is so much more to us than just physical matter.
This book is the next step for those who enjoy Depak Chopra's work.

Summary: brilliant
Review: I'm so grateful this book caught my eye. It makes so much sense--and has helped me realize how much power I have to affect my own health and to protect myself from people and situations that are an energy drain. Dr. Orloff writes in a voice that's to-the-point, down-to-earth, gracious, and immensely engaging. I've reread parts repeatedly, and I find myself picking the book up over and over when I'm feeling rundown or discouraged--it reminds me both that I'm normal to feel that way sometimes and that I have the power to change my life. I highly recommend it to people looking for a light-hearted, commonsense approach to health and self-healing and to those interested in exploring their own intuition.

Summary: From a spiritually conscious healing touch student
Review: Way to go. Bringing everyone to the awareness that they have intuition is great. Perhaps painting too rosy a picture at times. This is great for encouragement though and I sense just what is needed for some. I will truly hope to be at one of your workshops. I have a 45 minute tape of you on New Dimensions along with separate interviews with Rosalyn Bruyere and Barbara Brennan. Truly inspiring all three of you projecting holistic medicine and intuition. May God bless you.

Summary: It's About Time!
Review: Here's a couple of paragraphs I emailed this to Judith from her web site drfuithorloff.com
Thank you, Judith, for sharing with the readers these important yet forgotten personal powers (inner knowing, personal psychic abilities, spirituality, spirit guides and ancestral power). Not so many years ago, before Chinese medicine is as well known as today, I used to give talks to people and doctors, explaining to them what Chinese medicine is about. As a health intuitive, energy healer and spiritual medium/teacher, who comes from three generations of Chinese medicine and a grand mom who talked to spirits, I had to smile when Western medical doctors told me they are either skeptical or sorta opened mind about traditional medicine. I guess these 'medical professionals' can use a refresher course on history. They may not realize that none of us would probably be here if traditional medicine hadn't been effective to some degree. Our ancestors would not have survived and reproduced... and you and I would not be here to talk about it. Some medical professionals have a certain air of superiority about the medicine they practice, and tend to trivialize traditional medicine. The truth is that since we are of body, mind and spirit, we have both the physical and the energetic, we need all branches of healing. To choose one over the other is like to choose our arms over our legs (would anyone voluntarily live without their arms or legs?). Let's not forget that many aspects of modern / Western medicine has their roots in traditional medicine.
Conclusion: Balance is the key, and harmony brings prosperity. Chinese Proverb
