Marcia Emery - Powerhunch!: Living An Intuitive Life

Praise for PowerHunch!

No one but Marcia Emery could have written this book. It gives us the opportunity to be with this gifted intuitive, teacher, and researcher. We hear the stories she collected from hundreds of peoplesome famousand begin to realize that the intuition they have is the intuition we have. At the same time, she gives us a structure and principles that we can use every day. Slowly but surely, with PowerHunch!, we can bring a flow of intuitive decision-making into our lives. Then we begin to see greater beauty, even in difficult times. We turn fears into break-throughs. We develop a higher vision for our lives, know how to take risks, become timely, and bring balance and peace to our lives. There are many books on intuition but virtually all of them fail to deal with intuitions central paradox: it is both potentially powerful and seemingly ephemeral. In this book Dr. Emery serves as a master guidedrawing on her vast experience, powerful courses, extensive interviews, and consulting workto offer a practical guide that can make our lives more exciting, meaningful, magical, rich, and, simply, more fun.
