Building Intuitive Consciousness: The Inner Camino as an Existential Journey for a Rapidly Changing World, by Sara Hollwey and Jill Brierley

Are you looking to make real and lasting change in your life? Building Intuitive Consciousness offers a reliable and effective method to support such change by guiding readers on an inner pilgrimage to awaken to their Intuitive Consciousness.

It has been said that no problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. We believe that, by awakening to the Intuitive Consciousness within ourselves, we are able to transcend old patterns and habitual behaviours that may be limiting us in some way from being able to take our next steps forward.

Using the wisdom of ancient spiritual practice and modern psychology, Building Intuitive Consciousness is both a practical and mystical manual to guide you on this journey. By delving deep into our psychology and expanding up into the heights of our numinous or spiritual potential, this unsentimental book offers a roadmap to access our true inner wisdom, free from the restraints and distortions of our ego.

Packed with immediately applicable insights and accessible exercises, this Second Edition now includes notes that are relevant for professionals, making it the perfect manual for psychologists, therapists, managers or anyone on a journey of self-discovery.

Reviews

"Based upon their expertise about the well-known spiritual pilgrimage known as El Camino de Santiago, authors Sara Hollwey and Jill Brierley have written a stunning spiritual guide directing readers on how to walk into their soul. Not only have they accomplished this task perfectly, they have given readers a profoundly new sacred approach to personal awakening. This is a magnificent piece of work."
—Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit

"The second edition of The Inner Camino is a unique and remarkable book. Like the first edition it is an invitation to embark on a pilgrimage of self-discovery. This journey involves bridging the chasm that separates intuitive from the rational thinking, the inner from the outer world, and spiritual from the secular experience. Readers are guided by narratives, fables, metaphors and exercises from eastern and western religious traditions, literature, philosophy, psychotherapy and psychology. The second edition contains additional exercises and resources for psychotherapists. This book is a treasure. It will give you a new perspective on life. Everybody should read it."
—Alan Carr Phd, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University College Dublin, Ireland

"Outer journeys help us to find the inner paths that we are on. Our dreaming journey and destinations are emerging parts of ourselves. Sara Hollwey and Jill Brierley show us that life is a pilgrimage to our selves, and that all experiences that we make can be used to find and reconnect with our deeper spiritual selves. Their book is a source of inspiration for meditators, seekers, and travellers in the widest sense."
—Max Schupach PhD, President of the Deep Democracy Institute

"I highly recommend this book to all who want to break free of the stories that trap them in the values and priorities of this world rather than their own inner spirit, affecting their decision making in ways that do not serve their best interests. It is for those who have forgotten their inner knowing but also those who aspire to deepen their inner journey. Its real-life examples illustrate how connecting to transpersonal realms can make our everyday experiences richer and more satisfying. Rich with wisdom, this guide to consciously weaving together both inner and outer journeys is elegantly written and eminently practical."
—Carl Greer, author of Change Your Story, Change Your Life

"Blending the world of spirit or what the authors call Intuitive Consciousness, with our own human psychology, each chapter offers specific steps to take in order to blend these two worlds. There’s a lot of depth to the book and it is one you would work with over a period of time in order to embody the teachings and the work being done."
—Krysta Gibson, New Spirit Journal

"All spiritual pilgrims have found themselves asking questions about their experiences as they journey through life. Often these experiences are hard to comprehend, and it’s even harder to formulate questions about them. What just happened to me we may ask and what does it mean? And what can I expect next? Until now such questions have been left largely unanswered by the majority of writers, leaving readers feeling alone and disappointed. This book fills that gaping hole. It describes just what is happening, and how it feels when we move from the ego-dominated realm of living and transition into the spiritual realm. When we see that our personal experiences are profoundly individual, but also can be compared to a larger overall pattern, then we can feel the full value of what we are living through. With this guide you can never feel alone and you cannot miss your way."
—Allan Hunter, author of The Path of Synchronicity
