A lightweight introduction, 6 Jun 2002
This review is from: Ignite Your Intuition (Paperback)
The key word in this book title is "Ignite". If you have never tried to use your intuition or studied the subject before, then this book will probably get you started. On the other hand, if you have made a start, then what this book has to offer is quite limited.
It is rather like a greatest hits album, it gives a good taster for the novice, but lacks the depth and spirit of the original albums.
Here's what the book touches upon: exercises to enhance your senses, basic memory techniques to help you remember a number of things and put them in order, a discussion and self-test of your intuitive capacity, the benefits of a relaxed or quiet mind and 6 scripts for relaxation, how to make and use your own intuitive pendulum, the power of affirmations, interpreting your dreams, a discussion and suggested tests for clairvoyance, telepathy and precognition, and finally a series of "mind games" to test and improve your abilities.
If any of these areas are new and of interest, Ignite Your Intuition may be a starting point for you.
In the book's favour, although it lacks depth, it has a wide scope and may well touch on things you haven't previously encountered. For me the main value of the book was the intuitive pendulum, a subject I had not really studied before. The book does have one quite unique use for the intuitive pendulum: a way of working with your subconscious for the purpose of setting goals and using affirmations. For this subject alone, I was glad that I had persevered with the book.
I also found the upbeat style of Craig Karges' writing enjoyable and encouraging.
In conclusion, if any of the above subjects are of definite interest to you, you will probably find them covered in greater depth elsewhere. If you are looking for a lightweight, general introduction, then Ignite Your Intuition may be the "taster" you are looking for.

THOUGHT PROVOKING, 5 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ignite Your Intuition (Paperback)
"I have seen Craig Karges perform live and that is why I bought this book. I wanted to find out how he does what he does on stage. Indeed, Karges revealed some of the mind tricks from his stage performances and the thought and psychology that goes into them is amazing. Beyond this, however, is the real value of the book. In my quest to discover Karges' secrets, I found myself accompolishing incredible things. Taking his concepts and adapting them to everyday life (and he shows you how) has caused me to grow as a person and become more successful."

Open your mind and be amazed!, 19 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Ignite Your Intuition (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. It opened my mind to many possibilities. While the title of the book focuses on intuition, the book itself covers so much more. The first chapter was all about the physical brain. It is really amazing what we are capable of and this chapter reminded me of the awesome power each of us has inside our brain. By the time I finished the chapter on memory, I was doing amazing things with my own memory, things I wouldn't have thought possible. I have alsways considered myself fairly intuitive and the chapters on intuition helped me to realize how important a role intuition plays in my life. These chapters also gave me the tools to develop my intuitive abilities in fun ways. "The Intuitive Pendulum" chapter was particularly interesting. By using the pendulum, you can "see" your intuition at work. It is a physical measurement of what your intuition is trying to tell you. The chapter on dreams was interesting as well. I agree with the author that dreams can hold incredible insights into your life. Learning how to interpret your dream images is the key to realizing what your dream life is trying to reveal to you. A real benefit to me was the chapter on programming your mind via affirmations and such. This really gives you a road map to create exactly the life you want to live. The later chapters on psychic ability and psi functioning really cause you to think. Some of the concepts were pretty far out but the author doesn't ask you to believe in anything. Just to experiment and open your mind. I did and I was amazed. I had to laugh at the subtitle of the book - "Improve Your Memory, Make Better Decisions, Be More Creative and Achieve Your Full Potential". How could anyone teach you how to do all that in 200 pages? Well, after reading the book, I think the subtitle is accurate.
