Women's Intuition: Unlocking the Wisdom of the Body

More than an old wives' tale, women's intuition is real, according to author Paula Reeves, a pioneer in the study of the biochemical relationship between mind and body. Because most women separate mind from body, many are not aware of what their intuition may be trying to tell them. In this guide, Reeves helps readers, through stories and practices, uncover the blocks preventing this singular channel of wisdom from informing their daily lives. Through years of study and practice, Reeves has developed her ground-breaking program of Spontaneous Contemplative Movement, an original, simple, and emancipating way of evoking body-based intuition. Readers can use Reeves's easy-to-learn approach to tap their own intuitive power.

Psychoneuroimmunologist Reeves guides women back to the knowing into which they were born through this thoughtful and thought-provoking treatise. With grace, compassion, and common sense, she tugs the lead of self-esteem encouraging the reader to follow her down a path toward greater self-wisdom. She explains that when we ignore "what matters most to us," that becomes "the matter with us." Then to make matters worse, because we're deaf to the voice of our embodied consciousness, we "cure" our symptoms and continue to dismiss our intuitive messages. Having greater control over our lives is ultimately what Reeves offers. "How vitally alive we would be if only we were able to develop as much confidence in what we feel and how that is moving us, as we do upon what we think and what that means to us," she exclaims. With a foreword by Marion Woodman, author of Addiction to Perfection, and an afterword by Belleruth Naparstek, author of Your Sixth Sense: Unlocking the Power of Your Intuition, this inspired lesson in self-love promises to change a woman's (or man's) life for the better. --P.
