She teaches five steps to intuitive healing, which she defines as "listening to your body's signals--your inner voice and heart, your spiritual connection--to find out how to become more physically, emotionally, and sexually whole." According to Orloff, these steps apply to every health challenge, as well as every emotional and sexual issue:nn * Notice your beliefs.n * Be in your body.n * Sense your body's subtle energy.n * Ask for inner guidance.n * Listen to your dreams.nnOrloff returns to these steps in every chapter, offering more explanation, a different slant, practical exercises, and ways to apply each step to different areas of your life.
