Women's Intuition: Unlocking the Wisdom of the Body

A psychoneuroimmunologist explores “how intuition works; and how people can use it to be in tune with their bodies, reduce stress, and promote health” (Booklist).

Women’s intuition is real, says Paula Reeves. Encoded in a woman’s DNA, this subtle yet potent source of knowledge has been doubted and dismissed as an old wives’ tale. Because social conditioning and male-dominated culture have caused women to feel disconnected from their own bodies, Dr. Reeves believes that most women are unaware of what their intuition is trying to tell them.

In Women’s Intuition, Dr. Reeves guides readers to remove the blocks preventing this channel of knowledge from informing and enriching their daily lives. By evoking body-based intuition, readers can reestablish their body-mind bond and access their intuitive power for healing and insight.

“Reeves describes numerous real-life therapy sessions and exercises involving SCM [Spontaneous Contemplative Movement], providing us with clear illustrations of how to connect with our bodies and emotions and hence achieve a deeper understanding of the self. She helps us through the difficult task of both rediscovering the intuitive parts of ourselves we have lost and trusting our intuitions to guide us through life. This challenging book will no doubt profoundly change some readers’ lives.” —Library Journal

“A gift to any woman who is determined to connect with her own feminine body.” —Marion Woodman, author of Bone: Dying into Life

“This gracious book is for all who suspect that the body knows things we do not know. We’ve yearned to free the wisdom locked in the body’s images, symptoms, and movements; Reeves gives us a burnished key.” —Jill Mellick, PhD, author of The Art of Dreaming
