Book Club: Second Sight

For so long, I chalked it up to another one of my mother's old-fashioned ideas. Women's intuition. She always "knew" when something was wrong with one of us, or when she should call that old friend or distant relative. And over the years I've learned for myself that my intuition is an important part of me that I should not ignore. Whenever I have, I have regretted it.

I strongly believe in the power of a woman in this world. This blog is even dedicated to that. Women possess an unbelievable amount of influence in the universe. I wish I had known that more fully as a girl. One day I will teach other girls about their powers too. Everyone has an inner spirit that speaks to them. A God-given gift, we can choose to enhance it or ignore it. When you learn to tune out the noise of life and tune into your spirit, your ears become familiar with it's voice. Ignoring your "little voice" will result in deaf ears that may only hear when it's too late.

Dr. Judith Orloff has a new book out right now that I'm curious about. Second Sight discusses how to recognize intuitive experiences in everyday life, use them to make better decisions, and use meditation and prayer to tune your ear. The book also helps us understand our "energy vampires" and how to best preserve our energy for what really matters. Sounds interesting. I don't know how much it crosses over into the "mystic" but I'm willing to find out. If you are too, Buy Judith Orloffs book, Second Sight, and let me know what you think of it.
