Highly Intuitive People – A Book For Those Who “Feel More Than Most”
In her book Highly Intuitive People: 7 Right-Brain Traits to Change the Lives of Intuitive-Sensitive People, published by Hay House, she offers a deeper look into intuitive sensitivity and what it means to live with a right-brained, highly perceptive inner world.
From personal stories to client examples, Heidi walks us through the lived experience of “being too sensitive” and reframes it as a meaningful, empowering way of engaging with life.
Understanding Intuitive Sensitivity
Heidi introduces the idea of Opening Signs, which are experiences that reveal our intuitive nature and right-brained gifts.
Through her own stories and those of her clients, she normalizes the moments many intuitive people have had but never fully understood.
She also offers practical processes and exercises to help intuitive-sensitive people:
- integrate their differences,
- manage an overactive mind,
- and begin recognizing what she calls the Super-Intuitive State.
Her approach is grounded, accessible, and genuinely helpful for those of us who’ve navigated life feeling just a bit “different.”
Five Opening Signs That Resonated With Me
There are 28 Opening Signs listed in the book for highly intuitive people, but these five stood out for me immediately:
- As a child, you knew things about others—but had no idea how you knew.
- You can sense when someone is emotionally upset, even if they appear fine on the outside.
- Strangers tend to share their life stories with you.
- You’re not great at small talk; you prefer deeper, meaningful conversations.
- You’re sensitive to medications or have unusual physical sensitivities.
If these ring true for you, you’ll find the rest of the list both validating and eye-opening.
Mind Management for Highly Intuitive People
If you’re anything like me, your mind may run overtime, not because you want it to, but because the energy around you is constantly stimulating it.
Heidi offers a version of “monkey mind” understanding tailored specifically to Highly Intuitive People.
She gives step-by-step tools for mind management, helping us stay centered in a world that often feels energetically unstable.
One of the most powerful sections comes from her experience with post-natal depression. She writes:
“I had at the time huge amounts of exposure to meditation, inner development and intuitive experience. None of these stopped the process from happening; they did, though, make it easier for me to understand it.”
“As the wave descended I could recognize what it was immediately, and I chose in that moment to observe the experience rather than absorb it. How could I do this? I had begun the active process of mind management: an active, honest inner communication.”
The Personality–Soul Connection and the Super-Intuitive State
Later in the book, Heidi explores the Personality–Soul Connection and the activation of the Causal Body.
These are concepts that many on the spiritual journey will recognize in their own evolution.
She also describes a two-stage intuitive opening: moving from the intuitive state into the Super-Intuitive State.
Anyone who has walked a spiritual or intuitive path will likely see parts of themselves in her descriptions.
Final Thoughts
Highly Intuitive People is a validating read for anyone who has ever felt overly sensitive, deeply perceptive, or tuned in to subtle energies. Heidi Sawyer manages to blend personal wisdom, practical guidance, and spiritual depth in a way that feels accessible and supportive.
If you’re exploring your intuitive nature, or simply trying to understand your sensitivity better, this book may offer exactly the kind of clarity you’ve been looking for.
