Books

While I’ve been fortunate to work with well-trained instructors, I know not everyone has that option. These are a few of the hundreds of books I’ve read on the subject of intuitive work. I’ve chosen these as they are helpful to beginners and a good review for more seasoned intuitives. Please look through this list and see if one of the entries resonates for you. And remember, if you’re going to engage in working with your intuitive strengths, psychic protection is important.

Websites

A word of warning—just because it’s on the Internet, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily true. I’m sure you’re aware of that, but it’s good to keep that thought in mind as you look at websites. That said, here are a few that I have found to be worth viewing:

Institute of Noetic Sciences: http://noetic.org

Founded in 1973 by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, IONS describes itself as “a research, education, and membership organization whose mission is supporting individual and collective transformation through consciousness research, educational outreach, and engaging a global learning community in the realization of our human potential.” Quite a mouthful! If you want to see what is happening on the frontiers of research in these areas, take a look at IONS. You may find yourself, as I do, uplifted and amazed by their work.

Windbridge: www.windbridge.org

The Windbridge Institute investigates the capabilities of our bodies, minds, and spirits and attempts to determine how the resulting information can best serve all living things.
