    About this ebook

    In A Still, Small Voice, famed psychic Echo Bodine turns to a subject she knows deeply and is passionate about: intuition. Using humorous anecdotes and a positive, readable style, this sequel to Echoes of the Soul explores what intuition is, where it's located, what it sounds like, and how to cultivate it. The author, who comes from a family of psychics, exposes the various internalized voices that can mask one's intuition. These include the voices of parents, grandparents, peers, therapists, significant others, religious figures, and society, along with emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, and despair. The book challenges the cliche that psychic abilities and intuition are the same, or that they are evil. One chapter is devoted to the many practical benefits that come from listening to intuition; another looks at the "faith-building times" in life and how to cope with others' negative reactions to setting off on the spiritual path.

    Echo Bodine

    Echo Bodine discovered at age 17 that she has psychic abilities and the gift of healing. Her abilities include clairvoyance, the gift of seeing; clairaudience, the gift of hearing; and clairsentience, the gift of sensing. Echo studied psychic development for several years and learned about the gift of healing from her spirit guides and through prayer and meditation. In 1979, she quit her mainstream job and became a full-time psychic consultant, a healer, and a teacher of psychic development and healing classes, as well as a ghostbuster. She is the author of several books, including Hands That Heal, The Gift, A Still Small Voice, and Echoes of the Soul (New World Library). Her work has been featured in major newspapers and magazines, and she has appeared on several national television shows, including James Van Praagh, The View, NBC's Later Today, Sally Jesse Raphael, Sightings, Encounters, The Other Side, Coast to Coast, and Paranormal Borderline, where she was billed as a member of "the world's most psychic family." She also has served as a consultant in the film industry to companies such as Paramount Pictures. Echo currently has her own weekly syndicated radio show, "Intuitive Living with Echo." She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

      This book is a simple introduction to meditation and its benefits. Bodine expresses clearly with interesting, real-life anecdotes what she means by intuition and how it can guide our lives. I found the book common sense and well-written, but superficial.

    A Still, Small Voice - Echo Bodine

    Voice

    Chapter 1

    Humanity’s Best-Kept Secret

    Trust your hunches.

    They’re usually based on facts

    filed away just below the conscious level.

    — Dr. Joyce Brothers

    Afew years ago, my boyfriend and I were heading out for a boat trip on the St. Croix River in Wisconsin for three days. The weather forecast was that it would be in the low 90s, so I was packing shorts and sleeveless tops, but my intuition kept nudging me to bring my sweats. My logical self argued my intuitive self out of bringing the sweats and, wouldn’t you know it, two days later a cold front came in from Canada and I huddled inside the boat with Mike’s sweats on. My head said one thing but, as usual, my inner voice knew better.

    Think back to the last time you heard yourself say, I knew I should have gone that way, or I knew I was going to run into so and so, or I knew who was on the phone. Maybe you were looking at new cars, and even though the car you wanted looked and sounded great, you just had a feeling, a hunch, something inside that told you not to buy it. Maybe you just got a feeling that the time was right to call that prospective client and you ended up making a great sale with hardly any effort. Or you were driving home and your head wanted you to take the freeway but you just knew that this time you should take the slower surface streets, only to end up getting a flat tire right across the street from a gas station! Remember that feeling of knowing? That’s your intuition, the inner wisdom that says take the alternate route, don’t buy this car, cancel the trip, make the call.

    Every time you act on these illogical feelings you are working from intuition. People often ask me why they should bother listening to their inner voice when their life is going fine as it is, living by their intellect. My answer is simple: Life is not only more magical when we live by our inner voice but also extremely efficient. From the life-changing to the mundane, your intuition is always your best guide.

    If your child isn’t feeling well, your inner voice will tell you if it’s serious or something that will pass. When you can’t decide whether to take the bus to work or drive, your inner voice will steer you right. If you can’t figure out what to wear to that important business meeting, your intuition will help you decide. When you need to buy a present but haven’t got a clue what to get, your inner voice will always guide you to the perfect gift. If you’ve read about a great new herb on the market that can get rid of cellulite but don’t know if you should try it, trust your intuition. It’s always right.

    Why? I have come to believe that it’s because intuition is that part of us that is connected to the divine. When our souls were created, the source that created us took a part of its energy and breathed eternal life into us. This part of us is commonly referred to as our Higher Self or the God within.* This voice of God, which the Bible refers to as a still, small voice (I Kings 19:12) is our guide, our compass, our way shower, our intuition.

    When our head is guiding us, we think we know what’s going on, but when we’re being guided by intuition, we know what’s going on. And that knowing comes from the place within us that is connected to our source. Whenever we get that feeling, "I knew that was going to happen, I knew who was on the phone, I knew I was going to run into so and so today, I knew I was going to get a raise, I knew that publisher would accept my manuscript," we’re talking about intuition.

    It’s not a chatty voice or an intellectual voice and, in fact, it doesn’t really come in the form of sound. It’s more like a thought that comes from inside your stomach. It’s usually quick and to the point. Sometimes, especially when we’re still in the process of discovering and hearing the voice, its answers are simply yes, no, or wait. But the more we develop a relationship with this divine part of ourselves, the longer the communication gets. We begin to hear full sentences, even paragraphs, of guidance.

    The Problem with God

    Many people who begin to explore these life-changing things get hung up with the whole concept of God. They don’t know what to believe about God, so they just stay away from Him/Her/It altogether. Or they only reach out to God in times of trouble. And they certainly don’t relate to the idea of having a divine presence within
