Too many case studies 
2008-09-18
Not a how to. Dr. Michael Smith's audiobooks are a better bet. This book contains too many case studies. The first 3-5 chapters are good, but the rest seemed like just "filler" material. Good theoretical base, but again, I prefer Dr. Smith's Full Sensory Intuition.
Wonderful 
2008-06-06
This is a wonderful book. I think there is some point to ponder here for everyone.
what an amazing woman 
2008-05-31
This woman is totally amazing and very inspirational to anyone who wants to delve deeper into the psyche and the meaning of what is our subconscious. She's funny, talented as a medical intuitive and very comparable to the average person who has self doubts and feels a little like a fish out of water themselves. I'd have her over my place for a dinner party in a flash!!
Do your self a favour if you really want to connect wholistically with your emotional/ intuitive self and your physical body and recognise why your health issues are as they are and where they stem from.

Fairly useful but more how-to detail would have made it more valuable 
2008-01-05
The author's story (which doesn't intrude all that much) was personally remarkable: a narcoleptic MD with spinal troubles who becomes a "medical intuitive." There was some good information here, running along the same lines as Anatomy Of The Spirit by Caroline Myss: basically how certain health conditions arise out of imbalances in the chakras (which Schultz, betraying a little western-medicine snobbery, terms "emotional centers" even though it's obvious she's talking about chakras). This book seemed less grim than Anatomy, but could have included more detail on how everyone can develop her own intuition about chakra health.
How Intuition Works! 2007-08-07
This book gives a good explanation of the "nuts and bolts" of how intuition works. I'd like to see more of a "why" explanation added, with credit given to the ultimate Designer of the human brain. Also more of a section on "How To" would have been more helpful.

Worth Your Time 2007-06-03
Henry Reed said everything I was going to say, so check out his reader review!
I wrote a digest of this book for intuitive-connections.net and ilovemypsychic.com
Some theories covered:
Illness creates holes through which intuition can seep
Encoded memories speak in symptoms
We are all intuitive, just need to understand the language in which our body speaks.
Suspension of disbelief--we have to take it on faith that Neil Armstrong and other astronauts walked on the moon.
Dr. Schultz believes that we all have fixed ideas by which we come to live and which we may not even realize are only ideas we've come to accept. Many of these ideas are self-limiting; for example, "I'll always struggle." "There will never be enough money." "I'll always be alone." These ideas become encoded in the cells and affect the body's health and ability to function.
Learned helplessness is one of the factors considered to instigate the onset of disease. Schultz shows us from the scientific perspective that our bodies and minds are wired to give us information and that we can live healthier more abundant lives if we realize the importance of this connection and maintain it rather than avoid it.
Intuition Revealed 2007-04-22
Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz is a physician, practicing psychiatrist and holds a PH.D in neuroanatomy and behavioral science'the study of the brain and intelligence. Beyond this, she is also a respected medical intuitive, providing psychic health readings to clients by phone, using only the vibration of the client's name as her source of information.
In her book Awakening intuition: Using your Body-Mind network insight and healing (Three Rivers Press) Dr. Schulz presents her contention that all significant life experiences are encoded in our cells and these long-forgotten memories continue to influence and form the way we see and respond to the world, though our conscious minds may be unaware of them. Memories and forgotten emotions speak to us in a language unique to each individual. One common way they speak is through illness and disease.
Having suffered from debilitating injury and disease, herself, she proposes that our health and well being will be significantly increased by accepting the idea that intuition not only exists, but is available to all of us. If we learn our body's secret (or symbolic) language, we will have access to our unconscious and may create within it images and feelings that empower and inspire us and avoid being blindly controlled by ideas and emotions that might not serve us. If we learn to listen to the body when it's speaking softly, subtly, it does not have to break down into full-blown disease in order to get our attention. [...]
Mona Lisa has very wise guidance 2007-03-16
This is wise sourcebook on becoming more astute in intuition while staying grounded in reality. Intuition is a series of networks in the brain and many people need help understanding it and using their discipline to be in command of it. Mona Lisa's Awakening Intuition is rooted in her own discipline as a double doctor and medical intuitive. She is not only astute but her choice use of words are sound guidance in a confusing experience for many. Superb work! This doctor is being true to the Hippocratic Oath - Do no harm.....
Left Brain and Right Brain in Harmony 2006-05-10
With it's title so matching my current interests, I'd have probably read this book anyway. Seeing the title, I picked this book up at my Massage Therapist's office. When I saw the author had two doctorates, I immediately started reading as I awaited my therapy session.
Dr. Schulz takes nothing for granted, and starts from the basics, using her wonderfully broad scientific knowledge to logically explain what generally defies logical explanation.
She starts with a broad range of examples of intuition in many different circumstances and by many different types of people. Next she moves to intuition of dreams and common symbols. From there she moves on to explaining many differences between men and women by differences in the lateralization of brains and connections between right and left hemispheres.
Part Two addresses the inner voice and the language of intuition. In this largest section, Dr. Schulz carefully goes through part of the body, organ system, or chakra, and correlates the emotions most affecting those organs, and examples of effects on the body parts in health and disease. She is not afraid to share details from her personal life and health issues. Awareness of her own health issues has helped her make sound decisions many times in her life. Her candor only makes her more real, and an even more likable teacher.
Seldom does one person combine the left brain knowledge and the right brain intuition to be both a competent healer and an amazing teacher. What made Dr. Schulz so entirely credible for me is that she has a firm grasp of the entire field of neuropsychiatry, and can site studies when making her points.
In Part Three she goes over how to begin developing our intuition. What is quite interesting and practical, is that she gives a little test to determine if one is very left brain dominant, hypo- or hyper-frontal lobe, or not in touch with their body. Mona Lisa has run countless workshops helping all variety of folks get in touch with their intuition. Medicine is dominated by folks that are very strongly left brain dominant, because of all the facts to learn and the logical thinking needed to make diagnoses in the traditional medicine fashion. If she can get a female surgeon in touch with her already strong intuition, I know she has the ability to help each person discover how their intuition will reveal itself to them. Very left brain dominant folks frequently get their best intuition through interpreting the symbols from their dreams. Other may hear words, and receiving pictures is a very common mode. The body intuitive often get the messages as specific sensations in their body. Interestingly, she makes the point that anorgasmic folks are unlikely to be in touch enough with their bodies to begin developing their intuition with bodily sensations. She makes the helpful analogy of the health club or gym, with it's many machines to exercise and develop each part of a body. Rather than start learning intuition with our weakest areas, her quiz allows us to begin learning our own intuition with out strongest areas. This sets us up for success rather than failure.
As I trotted down the down the steps leaving work yesterday, I was thinking the massage I was going to get, and my massage therapist. As I hit the bottom of the steps, I noticed a sharp pain in my left lower leg, just below the knee. As soon as I noted it, it went away. As my massage therapy was about to commence, I gathered the nerve and asked my therapist if she had any leg pains lately. She revealed that on that morning she had awakened with a pain in her left lower leg, just below the knee, and of a severity that made consider skipping her morning walk routine. Deciding to go ahead with her walk despite the pain, it did decrease as she walked, but it had not gone away entirely. That experience has made me very excited about what I have learned already from my first reading of this amazing book
