Interview With Dr Judith Orloff, Medical Intuitive
February 25, 2010 by Akemi · 3 Comments
What if there was a way to find a disease that is so early in its development stage that even today’s top-notch medical exams can’t detect? What if we could use intuition to find out the hidden emotional causes of a disease? And what if the intuition further helped us determine the best treatment for our ailments?
Today’s interview guest is Dr Judith Orloff, psychiatrist and medical intuitive. She is the author of Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life
1. How did you find your gift as medical intuitive?
My new book Second Sight tells the story of the struggles and triumphs I’ve gone through as I’ve learned to embrace my intuition. As a child I had premonitions about deaths, illness, earthquakes which upset my physician-parents greatly. They finally forbade me to express my intuitions and dreams at home so I grew up believing there was something wrong with me.
It was later, as I write in the book, that I met mentors and teachers who helped me embrace my intuition. I went to medical school on the basis of a night dream that told me I needed to have the credentials to legitimize intuition in medicine.
2. Medical intuition is still a new area and not many people are familiar with it. Will you tell us how it works?
Medical intuition is the ability that I (or other medical intuitives) have to sense physical, emotional, and spiritual issues in the body and it’s energy field. I tune in and pick up impressions, sights, smells, sounds, knowings and senses of energy that give me information.
I am an intuitive empath, who is someone who senses other people’s energy in my body. I’ve had to learn how to not absorb it, but only sense it, otherwise I will get exhausted. I teach these techniques in my book.
3. What do you need to know about the person to do the medical intuitive reading?
Their name.
4. Are there any daily practices you do to keep your intuition sharp and improve it further?
There are five steps to developing intuition that I write about and practice myself. I get quiet everyday to meditate and open to the mystery. I want to feel the presence of spirit and grow larger than the linear mind. This is sacred to me. I am receptive to visions and intuitions that come to me.
I also go into trance every night in the bath tub. Immersing myself in hot water, then letting go, puts me in trance and I am happy and open in a world that is more comfortable to me that the material. Also I listen to my body’s signals all the time.
5. What do you think is the major causes of dis-ease?
Genetic predisposition to certain disease states, stress, poor diet, lack of energetic balance in the body. Sometimes it’s just karma–you do everything right but you get cancer. Then it is always a spiritual lesson to learn about healing on a deep level and open the heart in the midst of physical challenges. Very difficult at time, but a luminous journey. As a psychiatrist and intuitive, I work with people to help them see the light in these states.
6. Do you recommend certain healing modalities?
Energy Healing mixed with intuitive / spiritual psychotherapy and massage or deep body work is a magical combination. Always the focus is on mind/body/spirit.
7. What is your vision of the future of healthcare and the role of medical intuitives?
My prediction is that medical intuition is the new wave of medicine and it will be incorporated into every aspect of healthcare in the next 100 years. I feel so privileged to be a forerunner of this time. My mission is to bridge intuitive medicine with traditional medicine.
My takeaway
I so agree that some health conditions are karmic. I’ve seen them in my Akashic Record Reading clients, who lead healthy lifestyle and still get health conditions. And it takes energy work, not pills, to improve the karmic health condition, I think.
I also resonate deeply that some health challenges are there for the learning. It is only our judgment that make the disease “bad” — the truth is it is a certain condition, and it may well lead us to a higher level of spiritual awareness and love.
Modern medicine has done its wonders, bringing cures to diseases that were formerly thought to be terminal and contributing to the longer life expectancies. However, we are also starting to see its limitations. It has become too non-human, all about exams, pills, procedures. I think medical intuition is something that overcomes this problem.
