Product Description

Doctors, nurses, bodyworkers, and therapists have all felt it at least once--the uncanny "gut instinct" about what's ailing a patient or client. But what if there were a way to consciously tap this intuitive skill and make it a regular part of diagnosis and treatment? For over twenty years, Dr. Judith Orloff has pioneered the use of intuition in health care. With Becoming an Intuitive Healer, she now presents a full-length audio curriculum on the indispensable role of intuition in healing. When Judith Orloff opened her own psychiatric practice in 1983, she had every intention of keeping it traditional. Raised in a family of twenty-five rational-minded physicians and trained in orthodox medicine, she was taught that "visions were for crazy people"--even though she herself frequently had prescient dreams she didn't dare confess. It wasn't until she ignored an intuitive message about a patient's possible suicide attempt and nearly lost her from an overdose that Dr. Orloff determined that her practice was incomplete without the integration of intuition. Here is the culmination of Dr. Orloff's life's work: a complete program of practices to help us cultivate and offer our own intuitive abilities in the service of others. Designed for health-care professionals but accessible to anyone interested in this powerful healing art, this seven-hour course explores ways to tap into the body's subtle energy, intuitive empathy and deep listening, how to protect yourself from the negative energy of others, and much more.

Becoming an Intuitive Healer
While listening to this CD program, I felt an opening of both heart and mind. The wisdom, and the specific instructions in these presentations, can be life changing to the person who is ready to receive them. This is packaged as a professional development course for health practitioners. I am a lay person in that area, not a health care professional. Notwithstanding that, Dr. Orloff's program has added immeasurably to my awareness of how true healing works in the human mind, body and spirt.

Learning from a Credible Source - one of my favorite writers on intuitive healing
Dr. Judith Orloff is one of my favorite doctors on the subject of intuitive healing. This is a great book even for non-medical professionals on the how and why of being an intuitive in a healing practice. I just loved this. Keep in mind that Dr. Orloff is still a licensed doctor as is Dr. Mona Lisa Schultz ... and this speaks volumnes for their personal credibility and integrity. A wonderful complement to the Positive Energy book. Dr. Orloff is teacher who is true to the Hippocratic Oath - Do no harm.

Don't be scared!
Even if you are just a lay person, you'll find this "Professional Development Course" well within your area of interest and understanding. I have heard all of Dr. Orloff's tapes and this one is the best! Maybe it's because she is more experienced at lecturing or maybe it's because she is among her peers, but her delivery is more relaxed and funloving, even though she is dealing with the most profound and serious encounters in our lives and answering very difficult questions. She is clear, informative, humorous, and supremely heartfelt.
