Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the best-selling author of Trust Your Vibes and Ask Your Guides As a parent, you set the tone for your children's intuitive awakening. A spiritually conscious and integrated dad or mom who has a strong connection to his or her own inner guidance and well-being makes it possible for that same quality to flourish in kids and at home. Over the years, Sonia Choquette has been asked whether her extraordinary intuition is a gift, and she's come to answer "yes". But her blessing wasn’t being endowed with an “extra sense.” It was having a mother who created a spiritual awareness and a home environment that encouraged all of her senses to develop. That is what inspired Sonia Choquette to write this profound and accessible book explaining—through spiritual principles, modern-day parables, and practical exercises—how even busy parents can help children connect to their own source of Divine guidance. Your personal sixth sense is activated by training your awareness to become sharper and receive more information from others, the astral planes, your Higher Self, and God. You begin this process by learning how to expand your consciousness and better understand the way your body takes in and responds to energy. Intuitive living is the art of developing your awareness to be a highly sophisticated receiver of vibrations that will give you more accurate data to work with as you interact with people. It involves teaching yourself to be open and receptive to the subtle planes of energy that constitute our psychic lives. Awakening your sixth sense begins with an awareness of ten basic principles: Intuition and other creative six-sensory abilities are gifts of the Divine Source within everyone. We’re all spiritual beings; therefore, we’re all six-sensory by nature and can even be psychic. Developing our innate wisdom is our spiritual birthright. Intuitive insights are messages from a Divine source that lead us to our own sacred essence and our highest creative abilities. Spirit-based direction benefits all people. Inner guidance is activated by love and results in greater understanding and compassion for ourselves and others. A six-sensory life is gentle, powerful, courageous, and always noncoercive. The Inner Teacher doesn’t flatter the ego; rather, it supports our spirit’s expression and growth. An intuitive life releases our full potential! Being attuned to our sixth sense ourselves is the best way to nurture this important ability in our children. As Sonia says, "Connecting to our intuition unites us with both our soul and the soul of the Universe, Divine Spirit. It takes away our fearful sense of isolation and inadequacy. It replaces fear with a sense of spiritual direction and safety. The world becomes friendly, nonadversarial, and welcoming. Life becomes joyful, amusing, generous, and abundant. This is the Divine plan. The intuitive life is one of confidence, inner peace, and creative expression. What better gift to give ourselves and our children?"
Download or read book Strategic Intuition written by William Duggan and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How "Aha!" really happens. When do you get your best ideas? You probably answer "At night," or "In the shower," or "Stuck in traffic." You get a flash of insight. Things come together in your mind. You connect the dots. You say to yourself, "Aha! I see what to do." Brain science now reveals how these flashes of insight happen. It's a special form of intuition. We call it strategic intuition, because it gives you an idea for action-a strategy. Brain science tells us there are three kinds of intuition: ordinary, expert, and strategic. Ordinary intuition is just a feeling, a gut instinct. Expert intuition is snap judgments, when you instantly recognize something familiar, the way a tennis pro knows where the ball will go from the arc and speed of the opponent's racket. (Malcolm Gladwell wrote about this kind of intuition in Blink.) The third kind, strategic intuition, is not a vague feeling, like ordinary intuition. Strategic intuition is a clear thought. And it's not fast, like expert intuition. It's slow. That flash of insight you had last night might solve a problem that's been on your mind for a month. And it doesn't happen in familiar situations, like a tennis match. Strategic intuition works in new situations. That's when you need it most. Everyone knows you need creative thinking, or entrepreneurial thinking, or innovative thinking, or strategic thinking to succeed in the modern world. All these kinds of thinking happen through flashes of insight--strategic intuition. And now that we know how it works, you can learn to do it better. That's what this book is about. Over the past ten years, William Duggan has conducted pioneering research on strategic intuition and for the past three years has taught a popular course at Columbia Business School on the subject. He now gives us this eye-opening book that shows how strategic intuition lies at the heart of great achievements throughout human history: the scientific and computer revolutions, women's suffrage, the civil rights movement, modern art, microfinance in poor countries, and more. Considering the achievements of people and organizations, from Bill Gates to Google, Copernicus to Martin Luther King, Picasso to Patton, you'll never think the same way about strategy again. Three kinds of strategic ideas apply to human achievement: * Strategic analysis, where you study the situation you face * Strategic intuition, where you get a creative idea for what to do * Strategic planning, where you work out the details of how to do it. There is no shortage of books about strategic analysis and strategic planning. This new book by William Duggan is the first full treatment of strategic intuition. It's the missing piece of the strategy puzzle that makes essential reading for anyone interested in achieving more in any field of human endeavor.
Download or read book Sparks of Genius written by Robert Root-Bernstein and published by HMH. This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the cognitive tools that lead to creative thinking and problem-solving with this “well-written and easy-to-follow” guide (Library Journal). Explore the “thinking tools” of extraordinary people, from Albert Einstein and Jane Goodall to Mozart and Virginia Woolf, and learn how you can practice the same imaginative skills to become your creative best. With engaging narratives and examples, Robert and Michèle Root-Bernstein investigate cognitive tools such as observing, recognizing patterns, modeling, playing, and more. Sparks of Genius is “a clever, detailed and demanding fitness program for the creative mind” and a groundbreaking guidebook for anyone interested in imaginative thinking, lifelong learning, and transdisciplinary education (Kirkus Reviews). “How different the painter at the easel and the physicist in the laboratory! Yet the Root-Bernsteins recognize the deep-down similarity of all creative thinking, whether in art or science. They demonstrate this similarity by comparing the accounts that various pioneers and inventors have left of their own creative processes: for Picasso just as for Einstein, for Klee just as for Feynman, the creative impulse always begins in vision, in emotion, in intuition. . . . With a lavishly illustrated chapter devoted to each tool, readers quickly realize just how far the imagination can stretch.” —Booklist “A powerful book . . . Sparks of Genius presents radically different ways of approaching problems.” —American Scientist

Download or read book Anti Diet written by Christy Harrison and published by Little, Brown Spark. This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaim your time, money, health, and happiness from our toxic diet culture with groundbreaking strategies from a registered dietitian, journalist, and host of the Food Psych podcast. 68 percent of Americans have dieted at some point in their lives. But upwards of 90% of people who intentionally lose weight gain it back within five years. And as many as 66% of people who embark on weight-loss efforts end up gaining more weight than they lost. If dieting is so clearly ineffective, why are we so obsessed with it? The culprit is diet culture, a system of beliefs that equates thinness to health and moral virtue, promotes weight loss as a means of attaining higher status, and demonizes certain ways of eating while elevating others. It's sexist, racist, and classist, yet this way of thinking about food and bodies is so embedded in the fabric of our society that it can be hard to recognize. It masquerades as health, wellness, and fitness, and for some, it is all-consuming. In Anti-Diet, Christy Harrison takes on diet culture and the multi-billion-dollar industries that profit from it, exposing all the ways it robs people of their time, money, health, and happiness. It will turn what you think you know about health and wellness upside down, as Harrison explores the history of diet culture, how it's infiltrated the health and wellness world, how to recognize it in all its sneaky forms, and how letting go of efforts to lose weight or eat "perfectly" actually helps to improve people's health—no matter their size. Drawing on scientific research, personal experience, and stories from patients and colleagues, Anti-Diet provides a radical alternative to diet culture, and helps readers reclaim their bodies, minds, and lives so they can focus on the things that truly matter.
