HOW TO FIND YOUR WAY THROUGH THE MAZE OF MODERN LIFE?
"GUIDE YOURSELF QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY!"
COUNSELS PROMINENT INTUITIVE COACH
Dear Editor/Book Reviewer:
Where do we find guidance and support to make the best
choices in our lives? It's an information glut out
there. We live in a world of experts and pundits—but how
do we know who to consult, who to believe? How do we know which
job to take, whether to file for divorce, to merge with our
biggest competitor or buy him out?
Now,
a prominent San Francisco "expert intuitive" and intuition
trainer offers an answer each of us can live with. In the expanded
second edition of her popular guidebook (the first edition is
in 19 languages), The Intuitive Way: The Definitive
Guide to Increasing Your Awareness (Council Oak
Books 2005), author Penney Peirce counsels, "You already
have the answers that are right for you! With intuition, you
know just what you need to know, right when you need to know
it!"
A gifted counselor and intuitive mentor to tens of thousands
of individuals and a variety of businesses worldwide, for more
than twenty years, Peirce states that "intuition is a way
of perceiving that unifies body, mind, and soul, and draws truth
right into the present moment—giving you immediate clarity
and greater authenticity. Plus, intuitive knowing facilitates
that magical state of 'flow,' enjoyment, motivation, and renewal
of our chronically drained energies."
Peirce's
advice, both one-on-one and through her books (she is also the
author of The Present Moment and Dreams for Dummies),
help clients and readers access their own deep inner knowing,
providing a sense of security, connection, and selfhood that
translates into greater effectiveness, more fun, and less wasted
time. "Developing one’s intuition," Peirce notes,
"is also a path to psychological maturity, spiritual wisdom,
and greater success in the material world."
The Intuitive Way is a course on intuition
devvelopment in ten easy steps; "it initiates a process
in the reader that reliably activates the intuition and regulates
its opening." The book is organized in three parts:
1) Creating a Clear Lens — How is intuition already functioning
in your life?
2) Accessing Subtle Information — How to master the art
of subtle perception; and
3) Making Intuition Useful — How to apply intuition practically
in daily life.
The two new appendices offer many specific and helpful tips
for applying intuition in business today, and for using intuition
to live as your far-seeing, masterful soul.
Leading U.S. corporations pay trainers thousands of dollars
a day to bring the secrets of intuitive decision-making to their
top executives. Millions of Americans are pursuing various personal
developmental paths. Penney Peirce brings a brilliant, clear,
and heartful understanding of this most intimate of personal
resources, one your audience is sure to find fascinating and
valuable.

INTUITIVE TRAINER AND COACH AUTHORS
BOOK ON DEVELOPMENT AND USE OF INTUITION
The Intuitive Way Guides Readers into
Deep Natural Knowing and Self-Trust
In case you hadn't noticed, the way our society works is exhausting.
We’re drained, frustrated, and paralyzed by our day-to-day
lives. We’re overstimulated and overworked; too many demands
are made on our time. We're over-informed and over-propagandized
by an endless glut of commercial and educational messages. We're
bombarded by experts, spin doctors, and pundits, each professing
to have the answers. Whew! Who are we to believe? How do we sort
among the perspectives and find our course, preferences, and self
among this barrage of possibilies?
One San Francisco author believes she has the answer. "Tune
in to yourself," advises prominent intuitive and coach Penney
Peirce. "You yourself are a source of simple, elegant, and
accurate guidance. Your intuition is the vehicle for accessing
the kind of clarity that reveals the one 'just right' insight
for the situation and moment you're living now." Peirce knows
whereof she speaks. For more than 20 years she has been counseling
individuals and consulting to corporations internationally on
the benefits of developing intuitive abilities.
In this expanded, second edition of her popular guidebook (the
first edition is in 19 languages), The Intuitive Way:
The Definitive Guide to Increasing Your Awareness
(Council Oak Books 2005), Peirce shares her great knowledge and
experience in a three-part course on developing and applying intuition.
"I am not a psychic," she stresses, "but am using
heightened intuition—a gift we all have—as a way to
achieve psychological maturity and spiritual wisdom, as well as
greater enjoyment and success in the physical world." These
experiences, she believes, are what people hunger for in our frantic,
materially-oriented society.
"Intuition,"
Peirce explains, "is a way to improve communication with
ourselves and everyone around us, taking us beyond a mere verbal
alignment into a much deeper coherence between the physical, imaginal,
emotional, intentional, and spiritual parts of ourselves. It enhances
creativity, maximizes decision-making and problem-solving, and
helps us enjoy the mystery of life. It’s like magic, yet
it's profoundly useful."
In The Intuitive Way, Peirce notes that "intuition is a way
of perceiving that unifies the body, mind, and soul, resulting
in greater clarity and authenticity. Developing and relying on
one's intuition is an easier, more enjoyable way to live. With
intuition, you know just what you need to know, just when you
need to know it."
In addition to counseling and training tens of thousands of individuals,
Peirce often advises and trains businesspeople. As a result of
consulting with a top executive, she ends up with an enormous
amount of information about the organization. “In a small
business, for example," she notes, "the results that
occur are often an extension of the owner's or leader's own personal
process. Whatever is going on with him or her filters down and
through the organization."
One recent client, the owner of a health club in Marin County,
California, directed his Operations Committee to increase profits
by 50% without using extra will power or manpower. He wanted his
company to operate according to “inner principles.”
Penney consulted with each member of the committee, helping them
dissolve their fears and resistances and open up to an increased
and more effortless work flow. As a result, motivation is high,
and profits are climbing. Such is the power of focused intuition.
Peirce discovered her intuitive abilities over time, and offers
her own gradual developmetal process in The Intuitive
Way as a way to uncover and develop this most valuable
tool for understanding yourself, trusting your own inner wisdom,
and reliably creating the life you want.
The three parts of the book, presented in ten steps are:
1) Creating a Clear Lens — An introduction to intuition
and how it's already functioning in your life, this phase teaches
you how to create and maintain mental clarity.
2) Accessing Subtle Information — In the second
phase, you'll learn techniques for maximizing sensitivity to subtle
data and how to interpret nonverbal, sensory stimuli;
3) Making Intuition Useful — Here you will learn
practical applications for using intuition in daily life, to speed
decision-making, improve communication, enhance creativity, and
manifest what you need.
Peirce notes that the book initiates a process in the reader that
will reliably activate intuition and regulate its opening. She
recommends reading a chapter a week.
Now one of America’s leading intuitives and intuitive coaches,
Penney hopes this latest edition of her book will find a brand
new life with the burgeoning group of readers who are just now
discovering the power of perception to create a better life. Readers
who benefited from the first edition of The Intuitive Way will
be delighted to find an updated introduction chock full of wisdom
about living in our intensifying times, as well as two new appendices
offering highly useful tips and experiential exercises on 1) Applying
Intuition in Business, and 2) Using Intuition to Live as Your
Soul.
Peirce advises, "You absolutely can trust yourself and what
your mind causes you to notice. There's a good reason for everything
that happens to you and, as you develop the ability to understand
these things, you will fall deeply in love with yourself. Then,
as a result, you will love and understand others, and the world.
And that's an infinitely more entertaining and satisfying way
to live."
As a youngster, Penney was curious about the mysteries of life,
including oracles and telepathy. She was an artist who loved symbols
and their meanings. At age 22, she moved to Northem California,
just as the personal growth movement was beginning. She was a
corporate art director, so was already open creatively; however,
she immersed herself in classes on meditation, clairvoyance, shamanism
— everything. In the process, her intuition opened and became
extremely refined. She has continued studying both from books
and gifted individuals, synthesizing a broad world view and developing
a deep understanding of life and human nature — one that
includes teachings from many world religions, East-West philosophies,
psychology, and metaphysics. As she practiced using her intuition,
she discovered that her insights were uncannily accurate.
Eventually, people began to ask her to do intuitive consultations
for them. "These were not psychic readings," she notes.
"I don’t particularly value just predicting the future.
I’m more interested in character study and how our consciousness
works. I've always wanted to find the soul in people and help
them find and fulfill their destiny." She then met Dr. William
Kautz, a scientist at Stanford Research Institute, who was investigating
the use of intuition for scientific research. She became an associate
of Dr. Kautz and his Center for Applied Intuition, and extended
her work into research and training. It was through her involvement
with the center that she began to work with businesses and the
general public in Japan, who show a strong interest in intuition.
Penney says, "When intuition is active, life takes on a magical,
effortless quality — your world is suddenly full of instantaneous
accurate answers, synchronicities, creative insights, and abundant
knowledge just for the asking. Intuition also helps us reconnect
with our original innocence and returns us unfailingly to the
heart experience, which is common to us all, and communicates
with perfect clarity, universally."
And if each of us opened to this part of ourselves and let it
out? “The world would be a much more pleasant place for
all of us to live in,” she reflects. Isn't that the truth.
