If you\u2019re feeling hemmed in and know that there\u2019s much more to you than what you\u2019re currently experiencing but don\u2019t know quite how to access it, then \u201cLeap of Perception,\u201d by Penney Peirce deserves a read. Penney wrote about working with dreams and intuition long before working with either became common. Through her simple, guided exercises and partly through the subtle energy of awareness that she transmits through her writing, Penney invites us to step into expanded states of consciousness.<\/p>\n

The magic of Penney\u2019s descriptions about states of consciousness is that by drawing awareness to them, she makes them recognizable, and from that place of awareness we can shift into a more expansive state. Most of us, most of the time, hang out in the place of linear perception. But Penney invites us to step into the Intuition Age by making a leap into spherical perception. \u201cAfter changing from linear to spherical perception reality functions differently,\u201d she writes. \u201cFor starters, there is no outside world<\/i>!\u201d Did you grasp that? \u201cLinear reality is like a donut and its empty hole,\u201d she says. \u201cBecause you\u2019re looking elsewhere for what you want, for validation of who you are, and for the meaning of life, you don\u2019t experience your true self in the center. You can feel \u2018mindless\u2019 or \u2018out of your mind.\u2019 Your consciousness has \u2018left your body\u2019 to occupy other points of time and space \u2013 and in effect, \u2018nobody\u2019s home.\u2019 You, yourself have become a gap!\u201d<\/p>\n

If that sounds familiar, if you\u2019ve been feeling empty and like you\u2019re not enough or don\u2019t have <\/i>enough, Peirce encourages us with her reassurance. \u201cTo transform and find Intuition Age perceptions, you need to take up your rightful place\u00a0in the center of the here and now and in your body starting with the center points in your head and heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the magic of her writing is that her astute observations help us to identify experiences we\u2019re having that feel less than satisfactory, and she shows us ways out (or in) and the shifts can happen instantaneously. This is ancient wisdom written for today, right now, in clear terms that have the ability to transform your perceptions in an instant.<\/p>\n
