Guide to Intuitive Healing by Dr Judith Orloff




All quotes from Judith's book

We are the keepers of our own healing.  We are the keepers of an intuitive intelligence so powerful it can tell us how to  heal.



Visionless, too many caregivers fail to grasp that the healing of ourselves, our patients, our beloved planet is contingent on the awakening of our compassion, intuitive foresight, and humility before the mystery of Spirit.



We are all of one heart, inextricably bound.  For each of us, if we want to relieve illness or despair, love must be the lens through which we view ourselves and the world.  The specifics vary form life to life, but the task remains the same.



Your beliefs set the tone for healing.  Positive attitudes accentuate growth, negative attitudes impair it.  Honesty is required to flush out counterproductive perceptions so ingrained you may not realize how pernicious they are.



Our beliefs trigger biochemical responses.  No organ system stands apart from our thoughts.



Dreams do heal, but first you must retrieve them.



Deep healing is a state of being, graced, not an entitlement.  Humility is required.



Illness can be a catalyst for developing self-compassion, softening our egos, trusting our intuition, defining what's truly important to us.



Phase one of prevention is to back track to the energy origins of your illness.  Phase two is to discover what actions to take to correct the imbalance.



A dream's tone can be as restorative as its content.



Responsibility for clear communication goes both ways. 



From the first instant you set eyes on someone, your healing unfolds.  In sacred partnerships intuitive currents are created, enriching with time.



You are not without power.  Your responses can be both tactical and spiritual.  Tactics:  Be Zen.  Keep your center.  Think aikido: The more aggressive your opponent, the more yielding you become.  Use his force to your advantage.  Don't meet resistance with a clenched fist.  This has nothing to do with "giving in", surrender, capitulation, being dominated.  Disarm your opponent by surprise.  First, show appreciation…. Stress the positives.



Intuitive truth 1: The more love and consciousness you bring to your body when it is ill, the better change you'll have of mending it.  Intuitive truth 2: if you resist discomfort, it will persist.  If you soften around it, it will lessen.



Intuitive healing is always body-interactive.



Being intuitively receptive doesn't guarantee having the power to change everything you see.



There are possibilities within illness that you may not anticipate.  Who of us would ever choose disease?  Still, if it is upon you, being to look at it as a form of healing not punishment.



Witnessing the absence of spirit acutely accentuates awareness of what spirit is.



Emotions -- all of them -- are the precious nuts and bolts of the spiritual journey.



Part of healing is reaching out. If you can't love yourself (and those times may come), you must let others love you until you can.



What anybody else says is right for you is irrelevant if you don't feel it yourself.



Realize how timeless you are, despite your body's chronology.



Don't lead a lifestyle based on assuming others are out to get you.  This perpetuates fear.



The arch enemy of intuition is lack of sensitivity.



Sensitivity is learning, at your own pace, to remain wide open.



The solidly you inhabit your body, the less you'll wobble when adversity arrives.



Sitting in meditation is a lifeline to your center, to the earth.  By calming the mind  you can realign with your essence.



Your success in centering doesn't ultimately lie in any one action.  It encompasses an entire lifestyle -- for instance, the way your home feels to you (mine is filled with plants and books, which ground me) or your willingness to improvise according to your body's instincts (when I'm insecure, my body likes to rock back and forth, so I go with it).  These sensibilities, when clarified, set a nurturing tone for your life.



The spaces between thoughts are where your spirit wants to be discovered.



You can return to your spirit to reinforce who you really are -- not just the self you present to the world but that part of you that is timeless.



Codependency is taking inappropriate responsibility for the emotions or behaviors of others -- sometimes caring so much for people that you forget to care for yourself.



As an empath you must remain as conscious of your motivations as possible.



By staying on top of your emotions, you can avoid attracting what you're unresolved about.



Don't allow resentments or insecurities to accumulate.  What you are you will summon toward you.



Daily life is experimental ground, a place to practice centering.  War or peace?  Always a choice to be made.



The language of dream-intuition can save you.  Stay aware.  Know your vocabulary.  Act quickly on messages you receive.  Doing so buys you time.  Get to the crux of what's off kilter before it has a chance to manifest.
