Have you ever had a gut feeling, as you were about to enter a
store then changed your mind? Have you read a newspaper story in
which a name popped in your head and days later that name becomes
associated with the story? Ms. Pitts introduces the idea that everyone,
can use their intuition. Ms. Pitts described intuition as a God-given
spiritual gift, available to everyone, that keeps on giving. It
is our choice on whether we listen to our intuition and act upon
its guidance or ignore it.
One of the main facets that I loved in the book was that Ms. Pitts took the time
to explain what she was describing and gave personal examples of how she uses
it. She also offers little tests near the end of each section so the reader can
practice using the particular type of intuition she is explaining.
She points out seven intuitive senses to help the reader quickly and easily identify
and understand how intuition communicates intuitive messages to you. These are:
1-intuitive seeing 2- intuitive feeling 3- intuitive hearing 4- intuitive knowing
5- intuitive tasting 6- intuitive smelling 7- intuitive speaking.
After listing the intuitive sense, Ms. Pitts tells a story that the reader can
relate to in order to better understand how it works. This was the best part
of the book for me. If I had any problems understanding her definition, I was
able to figure everything out after reading the personal examples.

We receive intuitive messages to help us avoid accidents, answer
questions, and even to save lives during disasters. Ms. Pitts gave
extensive examples on how following your intuition can be beneficial.
She recalled when she was on the phone with a friend of hers after
the World Trade Center Towers had been attacked and how she conveyed
her feeling to her friend who lived near the Pentagon. She suspected
another attack on another city and minutes later after she and
her friend ended their phone conversation, a third plane crashed
into the Pentagon. She had dreamed intuitively about the attack
days earlier.
Intuition plays a strong part in people’s reactions, but many people are
fearful of listening to their intuition. She listed fifteen reasons why people
might ignore their intuitive messages. She gives those who are afraid, reassurance
that she understands what they are going through. This was great, because as
a new comer reading her book, one can get the idea of being lost, overwhelmed
or simply not fitting in. When she shares some of the fears that she too has
overcome, it allows the reader to ease into experiencing their intuition.
I think we have all been there when we feel something isn’t right but do
not really want the confirmation. We feel that the mate is cheating, the parent
is sick, or what the meeting with the supervisor is really about. We have a gut
feeling about these kinds of things but we often fear and avoid dealing with
reality. Ms. Pitts suggest learning to accept and work with all our intuitive
senses. We must expect the unexpected from our senses and find something positive
in spite of our fear. Our intuition supports our highest good at all times, even
if the truth hurts, because living in denial loses valuable time in correcting
the situation it is informing us about.
Ms. Pitts listed several experiments to keep your intuitive senses sharp. They
were quick, easy, and can be fun to do with a group of people. She uses a lot
of great new terms that she takes the time to explain in the glossary. Overall,
the book was a lot of fun to read.
