More About Dr. Orloff. . .
Transforming the face of psychiatry, Dr. Judith Orloff asserts that we are keepers of an innate intuitive intelligence so perceptive that it can tell us how to heal — and prevent — illness.   Yet our intuition and spirituality are usually disenfranchised from traditional health care.  Judith Orloff argues that to carry medicine into the future, we need to legitimize the role intuitive self knowledge plays in the medical arena.   Dr. Orloff's sincerity, humor and joy leave audience members confident in their own intuitive abilities and convinced that she is making an important contribution to a radically new kind of medicine. Dr. Orloff, who comes from a family of 25 physicians, advocates "a democracy of healing," wherein every aspect of our being is granted a vote in the search for total health. It is our birthright, both as health-care givers and health-care recipients, to reclaim our intuition to build energy and well-being.


As a board-certified psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at UCLA, Dr. Orloff exhibits great courage in drawing upon her own intuitive abilities, evident to her since childhood. Her struggles acknowledging and then finally embracing her gift of heightened intuition are chronicled in Second Sight . Her second book, Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing, shows how breakthroughs in healing our body, emotions, and sexuality are accomplished by listening to intuition. Her latest book Positive Energy completes a trilogy of books around awakening intuition and subtle energy. Dr. Orloff takes a probing look at the epidemic of exhaustion in America and how we can reverse it using specific strategies to build energy and combat draining people. Positive Energy is a national and Los Angeles Times bestseller which as been translated into 23 languages.

Dr. Orloff begins talks by creating a bond of warmth, trust and intimacy with participants, within which they can hear and explore her ideas. Her sincerity, humor, and joy bring everyone in the audience with her.

  Fear of death permeates all aspects of health care in Western culture. Addressing this very real dilemma, Dr. Orloff sees death as a highly misunderstood passage in life and redefines it as a boundary that proves to be far more permeable than we think. She points out that death is not solely associated with the dissolution of the body; rather it is a creative force we can draw upon in life. With calmness and vibrant curiosity, we can learn to explore death as a healing force, as a doorway into another realm.

With this knowledge, one can live free of the fear of death and can compassionately help loved ones pass on.
