By Karen Armstrong

Angel Eyes: Releasing Fears and Following Your Soul Path

At a very young age, Karen experienced seeing entities that had crossed over to the other side. She put away those gifts for many years because she wanted to be “normal.” Then her spiritual experiences grew exponentially when she became a mother, lost her own mother, and then became divorced. After the death of Karen’s mother, she became more interested in her gifts and wanted to contact her mother in the spiritual realm. She spoke to her mom through a medium, who also told her she was psychic. Karen was told she would use her gifts one day to heal others. Karen started to meditate and contact her own angels and guides. It was during these experiences that Karen came to know the spirit world through her own angel eyes and release the fears of not fitting in. Every time a fear was released through a specific healing modality, Karen became closer to finding her own soul path. She even had famous people show up in her medium readings such as Edgar Cayce and Archangel Metatron! These awe-inspiring visits made her realize she had an important job to do on earth! Each chapter deals with releasing a fear through a story, dream, or a mediumship reading. The author provides helpful advice for releasing these fears and improving your life.

Am I Normal?

Were you feeling a little edgy lately, like you didn’t belong on this earthly plane? You might be going through a spiritual awakening. If you were anything like me, I couldn’t get my hands on enough books on spirituality and psychic awareness! My mind was running a mile a minute, and I wanted some answers on how the universe worked. It turned out, the answers were inside me all along, not all of them but enough to get me on track for my soul’s purpose.

I always knew answers before anyone even asked a question, not math though! Later, I would call that claircognizant. I was not really sure how I knew, but I was beginning to find out. I was clairsentient as well, which means I could feel spirit. When I was a child, this was not a good trait! Big gatherings were stressful, and I didn’t realize why I was always so emotional. Has your family ever asked you why you are so sensitive? Yep! That was me! Now, I have been working to develop clairvoyance (clear seeing) and clairaudience (clear hearing). I have no urge or desire to develop clairgustance (clear tasting) or clairalience (clear smelling).

To give a little background, I was adopted into a family of two parents and three brothers. I will later talk about my mom, who is now one of my intermediary guides. I was told by an intuitive reader that she communicates my wishes to God and makes sure it is in my best interest. For the most part, I had a nice childhood, but because I was adopted, I may have felt a little out of sorts.

One night, at the age of six, I woke up during a rainstorm and peered out my window. There were four people partying outside my second-story window, two men and two women. They seemed to be having a great time in the rain. They were smoking; I was not sure what substance. They were drinking, joking, and playing sixties music. I saw one of those old-fashioned boom boxes on the shoulder of one of the men. What was really weird was that they were all wearing sunglasses in a rainstorm.

I could hear the music blaring, and I could see the four individuals dancing around a tree I would climb every day. I also could hear the pitter-patter of the rain as it hit the window, but the people outside seemed to think it was a sunny day! I stood at my window in disbelief! They seemed like apparitions, but I wasn’t sure because it was rainy. I ran fast to wake up my parents and one of my brothers on the second floor. They grumbled but begrudgingly came to my window.

Look at the people! I screamed.

They turned to look at me, and my brother declared, There’s no one there. You are so stupid!

My dad just slid back down the hallway, but my mom knew I saw something. She nodded at me and told me to get back to bed.

Years later, I asked a psychic medium if I saw people who had crossed to the other side. She validated my story and told me that was most likely why I had put away my gifts for so many years. To this day, I have not seen any people from the other side, and that gift has not returned. However, I have been able to strengthen the gifts I do have.

In this book, each chapter will show you how my awakening or reawakening evolved over the years. I have learned to communicate with my angels and guides. You may have some stories yourself as you muddle through your life. Every time something happened, I would jot it down in my journal so I would not forget the information.

After a while, I began to learn that synchronicities were happening all around me. All I needed to do was open myself up and let my angels and guides help me through the process. This process had been amazing, but I could only tell a few friends! They would think I was coocoo for Cocoa Puffs! I wanted to shout all this information from the rooftops. I was so amazed!

My mom believed what I saw that night. She was psychic herself and once predicted through a dream that my two brothers would get in a car accident. She saw the blue Mazda roll three times in her dream. Though no one would believe her, she promptly took the Budweiser beer out of the car! At least, they were not drunk! They were not hurt too badly, thank goodness. It was that story that would create a bond between my mom and myself during life and after her crossing to the other side. I would later have these dreams and visions during my waking life.

I wish now that I had asked my mom more questions during her waking life about her psychic abilities. She could have helped me with mine.

The fear of not being normal would plague me for most of my life. Everyone wants to fit in. I have learned that it is okay to be different and even better to be different!

Getting Rid of Guilt

When did I decide that I was going to open myself up to spirit? I could not remember an exact date or time, but I knew when I was married for twenty years, busy raising kids, thinking of others; my mind was so cluttered spirit couldn’t get in! You see, this is what happens—we live our lives, set goals, have a family, raise a family, take care of a husband, and we forget that there is more out there.

Think about all the clutter in your mind as a wife, mother, and worker in your life. You could lose yourself in all burst of energy! I have to please my husband; I have to take care of my child, change diapers, pay bills, teach a room full of kindergartners… Ugh! That last one brought on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)! Yes, my second year of teaching was teaching kindergarten! You can only imagine how cluttered my mind was!

I started to become extremely depressed in my marriage. Maybe it was because I gained weight or maybe because my emotional needs were not being met, but I felt myself almost disappear. I did not have any ambition. I was a successful teacher, had two extraordinary boys, and a husband who did not value me. I delved into self-care, played tennis, practiced martial arts. During that time, I started to hear, If you are not happy, it is not you, so do something about it. Those words would not go away for two
