Summary

"The human mind has the capability to function consistently at high levels of perception, creativity, and intuitiveness. Indeed, all of us have at one time in our lives experienced a sense of clarity that led to a Eureka! What would we give to be able again to attain that moment when the mind enters another state of knowing? In Inner Knowing, the latest addition to Tarcher's successful New Consciousness Reader series, Helen Palmer, author of The Enneagram, has compiled a collection of writings exploring such abilities and illustrating how they can be developed. In this anthology we learn how to exercise the mind, understand synchronicity, experience 'flow,' establish communication between the conscious and the subconscious, use the active imagination, listen to the body's feedback. In addition, we read firsthand accounts of psychic displays of fire-walking, clairvoyance, and similar phenomena that are included among hte mind's fascinating powers. A sophisticated book representing the essence of the New Consciousness Reader series, Inner Knowing offers us confidence in ourselves as we reawaken subtle senses and learn to trust and apply new ways of perceiving, knowing, and living."--back cover.
