Summary: Heart Sense is heart-felt wisdom!
Review: A must for those who follow the maxim of know thyself.A wonderful exploration to change your perspective on how to live in a heart centered manner and from a deep spiritual perspective. Covers just enough scientific knowledge and rational thought to change your perspective.If you do the Heart Notes it will change the way you look at your life, it is as if she is there helping you. Clearly written by a practising Doctor with wisdom who is well read in theory but also has professional experience. There are plenty of books that ask questions but she asks the right ones in the right way and THAT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR VIEW AND KNOWLEDGE YOU ATTAIN.

Summary: Isn't the Heart always a lonely hunter?
Review: Ethan Frome's novel addressed just this concept in his novel, "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," but addressed it from an entirely different perspective, as a story, instead of an analysis, so it is finally a wise perspective to address the actual mechanics of this all too human a journey. While some tend to find their deepest desires made satisfied by religion, the stages of our knowledge tend to define those desires by those experiences we may have missed at some point in life that we felt we would like to have had, or the person with whom we might have been able to develop that so close relationship that we define as one that honors the love we have the capacity to give, or the mountains of achievement yet unconquered. A most common reality is that the longer we live, the more we desire to correct the flaws by which mankind lives, and we perceive the fulfillment of those important failures to be a central focus unless we reach that fork where we must decide to "let it be" and dismiss the misery, and suffering that we see around us. As RFK once said, some ask why, he asked why not. At that fork, the why not "cure or try to cure" those things which need our ideas of morality and ethics and justice to do so. In the unfolding of our greater capacity in later years, this sense of urgency may take a greater part of our concentration, yet still not fulfill those personal needs that we are missing. So, personal reflection well spent can offer the opportunity not to deny ourselves what we wish for others, and recognize that sacrifice is not always the best way to heal oneself, must as the physician said to the other, "physician, heal thyself." If mankind was able to do that, in theory, those deepest desires might become not wishful thinking, or unrealistic dreams, but the realities they were intended to be.

Summary: An Intimate Experience
Review: Heart Sense invited me to intimately experience the complex intelligence of the heart. As the author's words resonated through me, I found myself becoming excited and curious yet strangely quiet. Intrigued by the process, I settled into a journey that took me to a level of self-discovery that profoundly deepened my awareness-such a gift but far from the only one the book offered. In a powerful and eloquent manner, the author engaged my heart and stimulated my mind. Dr. Reeves skillfully demonstrated her intellectual wisdom as she integrated her broad base of training and education. With superb acuity, she combined theory and practice with years of multi-cultural experience that led me from the surgeon's table to the Outback of Australia.

Summary: A Classic in its Time
Review: In reading Heart Sense by Dr. Paula Reeves,I have found this book to be a vast and deep sounce of the most practical and applicable knowledge and wisdom for changing your life from a fate-oriented, sad and unfulfilled life to one of living consciously into your own personal destiny .Dr. Reeves has given us a truly brilliant blueprint intergrating the current scientific and medical research with the intuitive wisdom of the body mind heart. For me, this is the jewel in an immense array of "self-help" books out there. It is so much more that it falls beyond that catagory. Thank you, Dr. Reeves, for this profound work.

Summary: A delightful guide for your inner journey
Review: Paula Reeves has given us a guide to uncovering our true self. She gently shows us the way through insightful "heart notes" or exercises where one may explore the inner world of our deepest feelings.
With Paula's blessing, I led an 8 week discussion group based on her wonderful book at the Mind-Body Center where I am a Holistic Nurse. The class participants loved the book. As we shared our experiences with the "heart notes" each week, we laughed and cried and opened our hearts to one another. For some, it provided a new perspective. For others, it was a reminder of the way back home to our hearts. For all, it was a joyful experience.
Take the journey, it is worth the trip!
