The Everything Guide to Angels (paperback)
by Karen Paolino, CHT, ATP

Publisher: Adams Media
Price: $15.95
ISBN: 9781605501215
304 pages



The Everything Guide to Angels by Karen Paolino, CHT, ATP truly gives one a look into the unseen world of angels and how one can become more in sync with them in one phenomenal book.

It covers how to strengthen and clear the blocks with one's intuition as many of us have fears or are uneasy about developing our gifts through the use of prayers to varying archangels including Haniel and Sariel.

There are sections on how to tell differentiate between when you are receiving angelic guidance vs. ego guidance.
One way which is demonstrated is the ego comes from a place of fear, criticism, and having to be in control. The angels always deliver messages that are supportive, peaceful, and non-competitive with others.

I was very impressed with the wide content and exercises that are given in this book from doing card spreading readings on topics like life purpose, finding love with Archangel Chamuel,meditations to clear your chakras, healing emotional traumas, how to release fears with the angels, manifesting your goals, real life ways of angels intervening in other's lives, angel mail, protecting oneself, receiving more prosperity, angel nudges or calling on the angels to help with fun things like a trip or parking space.

There are endless prayers on clearing your home, getting rid of negativity from within yourself, forgiving someone who have you pain with, prayer for the dying, overcoming self-hatred, protection for your loved ones, and a multitude of others prayers that will give you delight.

The Everything Guide format is wonderful and one I really enjoyed.

There are four key parts to it that emphasize certain tips or points for you to pay attention to that are quick and short.

The symbols are a question mark for answers to common questions the reader might have, check mark for important snippets of information, exclamation point for urgent warnings, and an asterisk for quick handy tips.

On page 75, the excerpt for the Alert Icon is the following high-lighted in a gray box as all these icons messages appear:

"Your ego is smart and sly like a fox. When you start listening to the angels and you follow their guidance, the ego will try to step in and change your mind with thoughts of fear, doubt, and insecurity. When this happens, recognize it and ask the angels for reassurance. Ask them to help you tune into the messages of love versus the messages of fear."

Because we are all students when it comes to the angels this book is a remarkable teacher on your journey!

I was not financially paid to endorse or provide a positive review for this book.

Signs from Above Book Review



Signs From Above
Your Angels' Messages about Your Life Purpose, Relationships, Health, and More
by Doreen Virtue

Publisher: Hay House January 2009
Price: Paperback $10.95
ISBN: 978-1-4019-1851-4
130 pages

Signs from Above by Doreen Virtue co-written with her son, Charles Virtue, provide examples of how angels might be sending you signs and what these symbols mean from them.

In each chapter it explains how the angels can send a sign through diverse channels such as finding coins unexpectedly, seeing rainbows, being gifted with a feather or feathers, hearing songs on the radio that have the word angel in it or specific lyrics ,guiding audible voices to apply to your inquiry and consistent numbers you can observe in varied locations such as on a receipt or the time.

It's great to have a reference pocket sized book you can carry on you to read true stories of people asking for signs from their angels and what they receive from making that call. It validates that angels are a real force in life.

Doreen does point out that you may not always get a sign right away but that the angels will grant you one, so don't give up if something doesn't occur as quick as you hoped for.

"When angels help us through life, sometimes they do so in ways that may not be immediately recognizable to us. That is because they're here to guide and protect, not to lead and direct. They often deliver answers, hits, messages, and warnings through signs--signals, or anomalies in life, which let us know they're with us." Copyright © 2009 by Doreen Virtue and Charles Virtue excerpt from Introduction in pages 4-5.

A heart-touching story is of a woman by the name of Lisa White who did not feel the Creator's love for her. She asked for a sign that she was in fact loved. When Lisa got out of her car to retrieve her mail she was stopped by a gold coin in front of her shoe. She picked it up to discover the words "Guardian Angel, watch over and protect us," and on the back of the coin was an angel in prayer position.

What I value most about this book is that Doreen has given you multiple ways in which you can ask the angels for a sign including talking aloud to them, letting go, written petition, visualization of your intention and prayers that vary for a friend in need, making a decision on two subjects and which would one would be best to follow, attracting new friends, losing weight, healing for another individual, having financial security, moving into a new house and multiple other prayers that will no doubt bring comfort.

This book truly decodes the angel language of signs and its one you want in your collection.
