“Are you ready to jump in and begin the most exciting journey of your life?”
These are the words Angela Artemis uses in the first chapter of her new book The Intuition Principle: How to Attract the Life You Dream Of.
And if your answer is yes, then read on, because I’m going to tell you why I think Angela’s book is a perfect first step on that journey.
Here’s my review of The Intuition Principle.
First, The Intuition Principle is a hugely impressive book.
I’ve grown accustomed to the way Angela writes on her blog, and her book did not disappoint. Some people write fluffy, superficial pieces. Not Angela. Her blog is full of posts that you can sink your teeth into. A few minutes with Angela is like an hour with someone else.
The same goes for her book.
It is substantial.
No wonder she’s so quickly become a best selling author!
(I’ve got so many of Angela’s well-chosen words to choose from — besides an impressive clairvoyant, she’s a talented writer — that I’ll sometimes let her speak for herself. Unless otherwise noted, quotes are from the book.)
The Field of Consciousness
Much of what Angela elaborates on in her book is related to what this blog is about: Connecting with a vast field of information and possibility and learning to apply it toward living a life that’s full of joy.
In Angela’s words:
The source of our intuition is the field of consciousness, or what I refer to as Greater Intelligence. … All that it takes to reconnect to this vast storehouse of knowledge is our intention and desire. It’s always there just waiting for us to invite it to work with us.
This last sentence is much like what I said in my last post about “The Field”: that it’s always there.
It’s up to us to interact with it and to accept its gifts.
This book helps us do that.
The Life You’ve Always Dreamed Of
Here’s why I love this book and why I added it to my list (I’m building a list of favorites for you to refer to): It’s about being integrated with your authentic self.
The Intuition Principle is about getting in touch with who you are authentically by listening to your intuition. It’s not so much a book about developing intuition as it is living an intuitively inspired life. …
It’s about living your best life, feeling joy, and feeling fabulous!
~ Angela chatting with Suzie Cheel about The Intuition Principle
And again, from the book:
The Intuition Principle is the concept that within you exists an innate technology, your intuition, capable of both guiding you to and attracting to you the life and happiness you’ve always dreamed of.
“Guiding you to” and “Attracting to you”.
That means it works both directions.
So this book shows you how to best interact with your life situation and how to draw to you (or create) more satisfying life circumstances.
Intuition as a Means, Not the Main Goal
What I found is that this book actually does guide you into using your intuition but in a different way than I’ve seen in most books on the subject (and I’ve seen/read/used a lot of them)!
I think you’ll find that as you go through it, your intuition will increase easily and naturally as she shows you how to use it to investigate and ultimately discover your authentic self and its ideal relationship with the world.
She takes you on a guided journey toward the meaningful goal of discovering your spirit (and all that implies in practical term), and teaches you to use intuition as your main tool.
It’s a beautiful blend of the two subjects: discovering your authentic self and using your intuition.
So although Angela states that intuition includes psychic ability, this book is primarily about getting to know ourselves more deeply rather than about extending our psychic skills. Even as a professional intuitive, I love it and plan to go back through it more thoroughly as an intensive.
The Importance of Intuition
This is not to under-state the role given to intuition and developing it in this book. (It is, after all, the title!)
I love Angela’s bold statements about it:
You will never live your authenticity until you partner with your intuition.
and further along:
Intuition is the only way to connect to your authentic self and your true calling, your reason for being here at this time.
A Peek Inside the Book
Here are a few notes I jotted down as I read the book. (Note: This isn’t comprehensive nor even necessarily in order. Just some of my favorite things about it that I wanted to mention.)
First, I’ve seen and held the paperback edition. It’s beautiful, and it feels so good! For me, that’s always a good sign and a reliable indicator of a book’s value to me.
But paperback or kindle edition, it’s obviously a gift from the heart.
Angela’s bright spirit shines through right from the beginning as she starts you off with a “pop quiz” about if and how you use your intuition. It’s a fun way to calibrate and compare once you’ve gone through the book so you can see how much progress you’ve made.
And in Angela’s no-nonsense way, she has you making progress from day one.
The bulk of the book is various ways to apply intuition to look within and get to know yourself, or in Angela’s words: “To find your passion, purpose, and authenticity.”
She gets you motivated with a list of the benefits of using your intuition in this way, and talks about how “her life changed dramatically for the better afterward when she started relying on it.”
Exercises are sprinkled throughout the book. By the end of chapter 2 she already has you effectively looking within with questions designed to help you begin to get in touch with your intuition. And these are useful questions — questions I’m sure you want the answers to. (Those are the best kind of questions for prompting intuition.)
She talks about the different ways of receiving information, and how to find out which is your primary mode or vehicle.
She gives you the main tools for developing your intuition. And notice how effective these would all be in getting to know yourself!
1. Meditation
She teaches you here how to do it in a simple and easy way, along with how to integrate it into your life.
2. Guided Meditation
She includes quite a lot of powerful guided meditations, including
- Meet the “you” that you were meant to be in the life you were meant to live
- Remember your mission and see your blueprint
If you like guided meditations I highly recommend you purchase her guided meditation system. (I’d do it now — the price is going up any day now.) She’s got the most beautiful voice and the meditations themselves offer so many gifts, e.g. relaxation, insight, expanded awareness, etc. Plus, there are some amazing bonuses!
3. Journaling
This is another major tool, IMHO.
4. Dreams
Easy, practical ways to apply them.
5. Muscle testing and how to do it
Super! I still find this challenging – grrr. I’m going to really use this section. 😉
6. Meeting and working with your spirit guides
A major topic in itself, and you can even download a recording of one of these exercises.
7. Mind Maps
You draw a map of your purpose and lessons – literally – as she guides you through creating a mind map (& includes related bonus materials that you can download from her site).
Incorporating the Tools
Angela is nothing if not practical. So she then gives you “Twenty-five fun and easy ways to incorporate intuitive exercises into your daily life”.
And then, a super helpful chapter is about how to troubleshoot blocks to intuition. She elaborates on 19 of them (!) and gives you ways to work through them.
If you get this book, you have no excuse not to be benefiting from your intuition on an ongoing basis, and I’m not kidding!
Wrapping Up
At the end she pulls it all together for you.
She discusses this “age of intuition”, and even includes a chapter on how doing this kind of work helps heal the planet.
And she includes a nice glossary of terms, and even an index, gasp! Those are so often missing but an index helps make it a useful reference as the years go by.
As Angela says in closing:
The intuitive personality is an evolved personality.
Do you want to evolve? Then get this book!
Note: Angela is offering you all the free bonus materials whether you get the book or not — and one of them is a free chapter! If you’re still not sure about the book, grab the bonuses and see if they speak to your soul. 🙂

And speaking of intuition and our authentic selves, hop on over to Facets of Joy where the fabulous Joy Holland asks — and several of us answer: “When one has set the intent to query and listen, how does one differentiate between an authentic, intuitive voice and any other voice that is heard? How does one know it is ‘truth’, not just ‘wishful thinking’?”. There are some excellent tips there — and do add yours to the pot!
