    About this ebook

    Have you ever had an intuitive insight or gut feeling? Behavioural science suggests that you may be accessing a deep intelligence whose origins are far more mysterious than had previously been supposed. Coming from bestselling author Kevin Flanagan, "Listening to your Angel" gives readers invaluable insights into this cutting edge research. It shows how to access this inner "voice" so that readers can deal with both emotional and everyday problems.
    In the modern world we have lost the ability to listen to this inner "voice"; the voice that whispers solutions and offers guidance. This "voice" has been the subject of intense study by two of the world's leading experts in behavioural science: Dr Carl Rogers and Professor Eugene Gendlin and Kevin Flanagans book is full of exercises and advice inspired by them to help you.
    "Listening to your Angel" first appeared in 1998 under the title "Everyday Genius" and was a best-seller, being translated into numerous languages. It has helped many thousands of people find their inner "voice" – or "inner angel" - and helped them and their families lead fuller lives.

      FOREWORD

      ‘I welcome Kevin Flanagan's new book. It includes one of the best personal descriptions of the Focusing process that I have ever read. It makes clear how to get beyond the first level of feelings that most people know, and beyond the murky zone beneath those. He shows how different it is to attend to what comes in the centre of the body. The book will help many people to discover Focusing and to improve many other activities by doing them - to use the author's own words -with 'the sense of being talked to by something down there that is not infected by our own fears and conditioning'.

      PROLOGUE: CAN YOU REALLY LISTEN TO YOUR ANGEL?

      ANGEL n. [From Greek: messenger.]

      A spiritual messenger sent by God to commune with man.

      Angels appear in just about every culture and religion that has ever existed, including the big three religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. They are the messengers sent by the divine to communicate to the human through intuitive insights, whispered words and dreams.

      The Romans believed that at birth we are each given a guiding spirit that helps us through life, moulding our character and enlightening our understanding. This spirit stays with us till our death, when it guides us into the next world. The idea of a guiding spirit recurs in Christianity with the concept of the guardian angel, in this case the bearer of a message of guidance. The word 'angel' is derived from the Greek word for messenger. It seems to me that modern behavioural science is beginning to show us just how this inner ‘angel’ works and how this 'guiding spirit' may be understood to talk to human beings. This book is designed to outline their discoveries and help you listen to your angel and hear its own, unique message.

      How can we listen to this angelic, quantum voice? I believe we can do it by first understanding how the transcendent, quantum world communicates with our own material world – the world of our own flesh and blood, the world of conflict and disappointment, happiness and inspiration. The world we live in 24/7. Our world.

      Throwing light on this area is the groundbreaking research carried out at the University of Chicago among other places by Dr Carl Rogers and his colleague Professor Eugene Gendlin; work that I believe may open the door to our understanding of transcendent communication. Both these men are giants in the area of behavioural science and have changed the way in which people think about themselves and stay psychologically active and emotionally well.

      Carl Rogers, in a survey of The 100 Most Eminent Psychologists of the 20th Century was ranked second only to Sigmund Freud for his contributions. Rogers spent his life looking at how people attain and maintain their psychological health.

      Professor Eugene Gendlin began his work by examining the ways in which traditional therapy did not work. He came up with some extraordinary findings including how the human psyche finds answers to pressing problems. (It is also interesting to note that the word psyche comes from the Greek word ψυχή meaning spirit or soul).

      Professor Eugene Gendlin also identified the steps that worked in successful therapy which he called Focusing. He describes a particular internal process that takes place when humans successfully solve their own emotional problems. What's more, Gendlin discovered that this process can be taught. It is now possible to click into the problem-solving mechanism and start this internal process of emotional resolution at will. Research shows that Focusing solves not only our emotional dilemmas but our creative ones, be they in work or in relationships. Focusing, as Gendlin defines it, works. And it will add enormously to your life. The fact that it may also connect you to the transcendent is a bonus. When we focus I believe we may actually be listening to the message sent from the quantum world – the message of our angels.

      But lets us first go back to basics and look at what exactly both men discovered.

      THINKING VERSUS FEELING - THE FUNDAMENTAL FACTS

      When making important decisions in life we do so on the basis of our emotions and not intellectually or rationally as was previously supposed. Research shows that when we are confronted with an important decision, say leaving a love partner, we will first consult how we feel about that person and then make up our minds based on that feeling. It will be a complex, holistic and emotional decision based on a gut feeling that will determine our course of action. Immediately the decision is made - say to leave the partner - we will rationalise it and come up with all the intellectual and cognitive reasons why we should leave our partner. We will then use them when we are talking to him or her. That is why it is impossible for departing lovers ever to explain adequately to their 'ex' the reasons why they are leaving. It is probable that they do not fully understand them themselves. What's more, they will never really be able to sum up the deep-seated emotional feeling that has led to the decision, which is by its very nature non-verbal. The fact is that reason will have had little to do with their coming to that decision; emotion and gut feeling were what mattered.

      THE SOUL OF MODERN MAN AND THE NEW PHYSICS

      Until quite recently it was not possible for science to talk about such things as a man's soul - that was left to religion. But this was not always the case: the great divide began during the Age of Reason, when the dominance of religion was questioned and the empirical scientific approach gradually took over as a way of proving how things worked. Previous to that, all creation was explained by divine revelation. It was in the Age of Reason that the divide between mind and spirit and body and soul had its origins. There was a tacit agreement between science and religion that the Church would look after men's souls while science would look after their minds and their material needs. One of the first and most notable victims of this schism was medicine, which began to become purely mechanistic in its approach to disease, whereas previously it had taken into account the emotional and spiritual state of the person. Medical opinion today tends to view illness exclusively in mechanical or genetic terms. Until recently, emotional issues were not acknowledged as having any serious bearing on disease. (One of the reasons for this was that emotional states were considered impossible to measure until the development of behavioural science.)

      It is only in the last few years that the emotional element of sickness has been acknowledged. Being emotionally well (which comes also from being emotionally intelligent and aware) is a fundamental requirement for good health and one that we will be examining in this book. Research shows that acquiring skills such as Focusing and empathetic listening dramatically improves your emotional well-being and physical health! In this book you will learn:
