Make Light Work: 10 Tools for Inner Knowing

On June 30, 2011, in Self-Help - Non-Fiction, by Kate Sutherland

DESCRIPTION:

This gem of a book introduces simple ways to find greater peace, joy and ease. It includes ten tools for doing “inner work”. The tools are a kind of internal GPS that helps you navigate through life.

– Are you sometimes overwhelmed by what’s on your plate?
– Do you struggle with making decisions or setting priorities?
– Do you feel your life is somehow off track?

In 1990, author Kate Sutherland was burnt out, bruised and confused. A book from a friend inspired her to visit the Findhorn Foundation in northern Scotland where she learned about inner work: ways of working based in intuition, perception, intention and consciousness.

For over 20 years, inner work has enriched and transformed Kate’s life, from her successful consulting practice and 19-year marriage, to her ongoing sense of meaning and purpose.
Inner work tools help with “little” things too, like:

– How to deal with the person who drives you crazy
– What food options are best for you or your family
– Even how to navigate home when an accident snarls traffic

The book introduces each tool through a brief personal story, a step by step exercise, and commentaries on finer points and possible pitfalls. Also included is a chapter on integrating the tools into daily life.

How revolutionary would it be to find your own answers any time you are confused, overwhelmed, or simply seeking greater clarity?

SAMPLE TESTIMONIALS:
“Starting a new business means making good decisions quickly. Make Light Work brings me back to my own basic intelligence and wisdom.” Elizabeth Sheehan, CEO, Climate Smart

“As a tradesman, I have tools to do my job. Now I have practical tools to help me with the other parts of my life, and I didn’t have to go to the Himalayas to learn them.” Danny Gillcash, Pipe Fitter

“As a long time student and teacher of accessing intuition I was thoroughly impressed to read Kate Sutherland’s Make Light Work. She has created an easy-to-use, excellently written and incredibly practical guide for anyone to better access their intuition; one that has fine-tuned what I do in subtle and important ways.” Carla Rieger, Director, The Artistry of Change

5.0 out of 5 stars Grounded, practical and effective enough to convince a curious skeptic., November 8, 2010

This review is from: Make Light Work: 10 Tools for Inner Knowing (Paperback)
I’m slightly uncomfortable writing this review. Here’s why: I am a typical Gen X-er who’s deeply skeptical of anything that smacks too much of what my friend Nancy calls “woo-woo” stuff: that is, anything that might fall under the umbrella of “New Age.” On the other hand, I’m also a West Coaster who grew up around first- and second-generation hippies, owns more than a few books on astrology, and considers myself curious and open-minded. I’m just a little conflicted about it all, and I like some salt mixed into my spirituality.

One of my favourite sayings comes from activist-astrologer Caroline Casey: “Believe nothing; entertain possibilities.” That pretty well sums up my approach. I have friends who see angels, undertake shamanic journeys, worship deities and/or the earth – and I have friends who delightedly refer to themselves as evangelical atheists. I love hearing all of their stories and wrestling with the big questions. What I have absolutely no time for is a surfeit of earnestness, self-seriousness and/or narcissism, so I try to avoid committing those cardinal sins.

So with that preamble, I want to talk about something I think is really cool… if a little woo-woo.

I recently had the great good fortune (and pleasure) to meet Kate Sutherland at a workshop I was leading. Kate came up to ask a question afterward, and we ended up chatting for quite a while about this and that, until we realized we were the only ones left in the room as everyone else had wandered off to their next appointment. That’s when I figured out I had just met a kindred spirit.

The reason I got so wrapped up in our conversation is that Kate was telling me about a book she recently published called Make Light Work, a pithy, approachable guide to using what Kate calls “inner knowing” in everyday situations. Her writing journey touched on some themes that are dear to me, such as preventing burnout in people working for social change, bringing intuitive and other “soft” skills into the workplace, and getting clarity around our personal strengths and callings so we can infuse passion and power into our work, and provide maximum value and service to those around us.

Make Light Work is a compendium of techniques you can use to bring your inner knowing to bear on any manner of things in your life. I’m particularly interested in how this stuff applies to work, but you can filter it through any number of lenses. The techniques range from things you might already be familiar with (like setting the energy for a project, or finding a guiding image for a situation) to things that might fall outside your comfort zone (automatic writing, inner guides). I’ve been experimenting with several of them, and trying to push through any skepticism & resistance I may have in favour of just testing things out to see how they work.

My experiments have really paid off. I devoured the book in a couple of hours (stretched out into smaller chunks, as it is really a series of exercises you have to experiment with) and have been using Kate’s simple techniques on an almost daily basis. And some big things have been coming more easily to me in the two weeks since I picked up the book – things like:

– Writing blog posts
– Public speaking
– Group facilitation
– Mediating between battling factions
– Making small decisions that threatened to take me far too long (due to my compulsive need to weigh the options) more quickly & lightly
– Gaining clarity around what I can (and should) bring to a situation
– Figuring out where my energy is at and how to work with it more effectively.

I’ve been really amazed at how much of a difference some small and seemingly simple things can have. Stuff like mentally clearing my desk before I start to write, and asking myself what I need to pay attention to, has been really transformative. I think what’s beautiful about Kate’s book is that although I knew about some of the techniques, she spells them out in such straightforward, step-by-step ways that she makes it incredibly easy. And her personal anecdotes throughout the text are relatable, grounded and avoid assuming (or dictating) a particular belief system.

So. Anyone else out there curious about this stuff but leery of going over to the new age dark side? If so, I recommend giving Make Light Work a try. It’s probably the most pragmatic and down-to-earth resource on inner work I’ve come across. Heck, I’ve written a whole blog post about it, despite my shyness about talking about anything “spiritual” in public. That’s how good it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make Light Work provides foundational practices for Authentic Leadership, February 15, 2011

This review is from: Make Light Work: 10 Tools for Inner Knowing (Paperback)
“Make Light work – 10 Tools for Inner Knowing” provides a variety of practical tools for making choices that are aligned to a deep inner knowing – to authenticity.

With the emergence of authentic leadership and emotional intelligence as supports for leaders in the 21st century, “Make Light Work” provides a foundation of practices that can support leaders inside of organizations, as well as outside, within their families and communities.

Kate’s book is a gift – it is a quick and easy read, and one that can have profound and long-lasting impacts depending on the level of application of the practices.

For example – a simple practice of setting an intention before an important meeting (or a difficult performance review with an employee, or with a relationship-building session with a new client), can make all the difference for the people involved. An intention to build trust, or to be curious about what is going on for the other person, can set a very different tone for the interaction than just walking into a meeting and “winging it” unprepared (or even worse, bringing in an unhelpful judgment or assumption that leads to an uncomfortable and ineffective interaction).

My favorite practices so far are doing the ground work and unpacking flirts – essentially bringing more awareness to each interaction so I can be authentic more of the time, and dedicating my interactions to the highest and best purpose; and paying attention to signals I get throughout the day that guide me to decision making where I act on my intuition, in addition to the other information gathering and research I do.

“Make Light Work” is a wonderful resource for Coaching to recommend to clients, for business leaders, as well as for anyone who aspires to live their life authentically, more of the time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Light Work of Getting Unstuck, Feb 17 2011
By SDChambers – See all my reviews
This review is from: Make Light Work: 10 Tools for Inner Knowing (Paperback)
Kate’s book starts from the point of view that (1) life doesn’t have to be difficult and (2) we all have access to a vast source of inner knowing that is immediately available and accessible to us. Yet “…too often we have forgotten what we know, not listened to the whispers and nudges, or been too enthralled by the whirl of modern life to recognize signs. Many of us do not know how to gain access to inner knowing and, lacking practice, have little trust in what comes from within.” (Sutherland,2010, p.5)

This book is a wonderful resource for remembering and reconnecting with the sacred gift of our inner knowing,and for providing readers with the inner work tools that will make it easier to respond to both the little and big things that life brings us.

Kate describes and gives instructions for ten different inner knowing tools, including automatic writing, unpacking flirts, setting the energy, muscle testing, working with guiding images and inner guides, and multiple options. She describes each tool, provides a couple of personal examples, points out the finer points of using the tool and alerts readers to potential pitfalls. Some of the tools (e.g., automatic writing) require some time and a quiet space to use them effectively, but others, such as muscle testing or setting the energy are quick and easy tools to use.

I’ve used automatic writing with great success when I’m feeling stuck or frustrated and can’t see my way forward. I’ve also found that muscle testing to clarify the truth of a decision and setting energy before specific events–not to mention just setting energy for the day–have made a positive difference in my day to day activities. I’ve been so impressed by the content and tone of this book that I bought extra copies to give away as gifts for friends and have recommended the book to several small, independent book stores.

I especially appreciate the playful and engaging tone of the book which invites the reader to experiment with the tools. Indeed, I felt much lighter, happier and more focused each time I’ve applied what I’ve learned from this guide.

This book is small but powerful. A book to read through once and then keep by your side as a reminder of the tools available to make life easier. I was hunting for an apartment last month and was in a turmoil as to which apartment was right for me. The following morning I settled myself and tapped into my own inner wisdom by using the automatic writing exercise. I held one of the apartments in my mind and found myself writing “this apartment is not for you”. Later, I retracted my application, felt a huge sense of relief and some fear that I wouldn’t find a home. The next day I saw four apartments all with great potential. I was amazed. Such a simple exercise – yet so powerful! I highly recommend this book as a life long companion.

I am very impressed with Making Light Work. Kate provides 10 practical techniques for accessing intuition and, more importantly, also provides some danger signs to watch out for. There are lots of people out there talking about things like “visioning” and “intuition” who sound like they are offering some sort of magical cure-all. Kate speaks from a grounded personal experience and you can hear the balance and wisdom in her voice coming through the writing.

I have been applying the “setting the energy” technique regularly – not only for my personal life, but even in meetings with coworkers – and have been consistently impressed with how simple and effective it is in moving things to a deeper level. The results haven’t just been “feel good” – they consistently allow me and my work team to be more effective and productive.

I look forward to exploring the other techniques to and weaving them into my everyday life.

This book proved a positive way to start the year. I was very pleased with it. It is short and snappy, with plenty of personal examples, explaining both the principles and practice, making it very readable. I particularly liked the following chapters:

Setting the Energy * Guiding Images * Inner Guides

Each provided a useful way to use your imagination to best advantage. And I loved the quotes:

The way out is through * There is no out there out there

These are simple, memorable, and true. It’s like a workbook for “The 4 Agreements”, except that there are ten of them, and they are more like adjustments. Maybe that could be the subtitle: “The 10 Adjustments”, but then people would think it is about chiropracty. Anyway, well done!

Yesterday, tired of being stuck in the way I was dealing with an external irritant (person and their communication methods!)I pulled my copy of Make Light Work off the bookshelf thinking – “Ok, time to give this a try.” The automatic writing exercise called to me, and half an hour/6 pages later, I had a good and insightful breakthrough and slid by the block quite nicely. I also found (of course!) a couple more things that need my inner attention and will follow up. It was interesting to note, for the rest of the day, the change in my physical posture and mental outlook. Then I went and bought myself a bouquet of tulips which now shine in my kitchen as a reminder. Thanks Kate, for the way your writing speaks with practicality and depth at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful little book, Sep 10 2010
By Howard Gee – See all my reviews
This review is from: Make Light Work: 10 Tools for Inner Knowing (Paperback)
This little book is a deceptively easy read. It is a basic “how to decide” book that anyone can use. It teaches easy and practical tools to use what you really already have inside, like intuition, and to live your life in a simple, truthful and honest way. Life can be so chaotic and this book helps with small day-to-day decisions as well as the really big life decisions. It also reminds the reader to keep life simpler. I think it will be one of those books that I will read over and over again and get more and more from every time.

This gem of a book introduces simple ways to find greater peace, joy and ease. It includes ten tools for doing “inner work”. The tools are a kind of internal GPS that helps you navigate through life.

This little book is a deceptively easy read. It is a basic “how to decide” book that anyone can use. It teaches easy and practical tools to use what you really already have inside, like intuition, and to live your life in a simple, truthful and honest way. Life can be so chaotic and this book helps with small day-to-day decisions as well as the really big life decisions. It also reminds the reader to keep life simpler. I think it will be one of those books that I will read over and over again and get more and more from every time.
