"I forgive myself for enjoying life"
Do you feel angry with yourself every now and then? I do. More often than I would like. So, like always when I'm aware of a pattern that's holding me from being happy, I'm looking for a way to change this. Let's tell you about my latest discovery and share with you what has helped me to feel good about myself.
Today I was walking outside with my new born Jeara (10-02-2015). The sun was shining and Jeara was sleeping in a purple wrap close to my heart. I was on my way to the shopping street, looking for new baby whipes and since I was on maternity leave, I had all the time in the world to find them. Reading this, you would say all the ingredients were there to have a perfect day. And yet, I felt sad and angry.
Like a lot of times when I'm experiencing negative feelings, my Ego was talking to me angrily:
"Laurene, you should really be working right now. I mean, you have all the time, why aren't you helping people?! You know God wants you to spend every minute devoting to your life's purpose and that means work, work, work. How can you feel good walking here by the way, while Marieke is working 5 days a week and earning all the money? You didn't make a profit in the last months and you were only being a lazy pregnant women, weren't you? You're a bad partner and a worthless being."
Even though I know a lot about affirmations, angels and spiritual laws, I agreed with my Ego. For a few minutes, at least. In these minutes I asked my angels to help me. I had no particular prayer, I just asked: '
"PLEASE DEAR ANGELS, CAN YOU HELP ME FEEL BETTER?"
At first I noticed two passers-by walking with a suitcase. One of the suitcases was red and the other pink. "Oh wow, they must head to a wonderful place full of adventure!" This was a little sparkle litting the fire of my imagination and soon I was dreaming about a world trip, having a second house in a sunny country and speaking at events to inspire and help people as a spiritual teacher.
It was only a minute later that I arrived at the shopping street and had to wait for a car to pass. Unconsciously I registrated a lot of things of the car: it was a small car and probably a girl's, because it was pink all-over. And I mean the cotton candy kind-of-color. Hey, wait a minute! Pink again. Archangel Jophiels color. My vision of a second house in a sunny country was immediately replaced with this car in front of me. I smiled. Of course, Jophiel, the Archangel that helps us to think beautiful thoughts and appreciate the beauty around us. Since I was clearly angry at myself, she was there to help me change my thoughts and to remind me to be kind to myself. To allow myself to be.
WHAT WAS THE LAST TIME I FORGAVE MYSELF?
I couldn't remember. So I started to examine my thoughts and feelings. I was feeling angry because...
... I wasn't making any money, only spending it.
... I had the time to do what I want and Marieke didn't have that opportunity since she works 40 hours a week on a contract-base
... there was another really frightening feeling hidden in a small corner: happiness.
AND I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO FEEL HAPPY AS LONG AS ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE AROUND ME DIDN' T EXPERIENCE THE SAME HAPPINESS AS WELL.
Bang! The realization hit me and I felt like a boxer who just got punched by his opponent. I was laying on the floor of negativity and I didn't see it coming. Fortunately I was blessed with a good fighters' mentality, so I pulled myself back together and was determined to get up again.
I HAD TO GET TO A PLACE OF LOVE. I HAD TO CHANGE MY THOUGHTS IN ORDER TO SHIFT MY EMOTIONS AND THE WHOLE SITUATION I WAS IN.
"I forgive myself for taking the time to relax"
"I forgive myself that I have all the time to do what I want"
"I forgive myself for enjoying life"
Within seconds, I felt so much better. Weight was lifted. My energy changed. I suddenly looked at my beautiful daughter, feeling my heart almost explode of love while whishing for Marieke to experience the same feelings. And I realised that relaxation was key to allow new things to come into my life. Like new ideas to help others. Or an idea for a new article ;)
Over to you:
Do you recognize any of the above? Strange and at the same time interesting, isn't it, how our Ego's can make us feel bad while we have so much to be grateful for? A lot of times we feel bad for experiencing more joy, abundance or wealth than the people around us. While the angels are always showing me there is enough for everyone and the energy of joy even helps us to attract what we want. So we have more to share with others.
Do you feel angry at yourself for some reason? And is your Ego attacking you all the time with many 'need-to's', 'should-do's' or 'had-to's'? When you're looking for a change, take a moment to examine - and maybe even write down - your thoughts and forgive yourself. You can even share it with others if you like, so you can help each other along the way. You can also declare it in the comments below. I'd love to read it!
If you'd like to get some support with forgivess and healing, you can contact me. I'd love to see you happy!

Services
Angels
Course in Angel Messages
Learn how you can carefully answer your own and other people's questions about the meaning of life. We will work with the Angel Tarot Cards deck from Doreen Virtue. In every lesson, you will have another experience: you will- among other things - learn to trust your own channels of communication with the angels (clairaudience, -voyance, -sentience or cognizance) and learn several spreads. For example: choice-spread, love-spread and the Celtic Cross. Also we'll answer the question: how to start giving paid readings?
Interested? Find out more.
Angel Card Readings
With an angel card reading you'll get a lovingly and clear answer from the angels to your questions. A reading will provide you with insights in your specific situation and can help you to take the next step on your journey through life.
Also, it's possible to have a reading with a theme: Year reading (specified per month), Love reading, Birthday reading.
Go to the website for more information or see what others say about a reading.
Healings
In a healing session our focus is on restoring the balance of body, mind and spirit. During your life you can face physical, mental, emotional, social or spiritual challenges. These challenges can result in energy blocks which cause an imbalance. For example:
Maybe you´re exhausted because you're a high sensitive person who tends to take over emotions from others. It happens to you every day and you simply don't know how to protect yourself. In a healing session I will provide you with tips and use Reiki, massage and/or nutrition to help you restore the energy balance.
Or maybe you are aware, but you don't want to set healthy boundaries because that makes you feel selfish. You feel you are helping people be happier by taking over their stuff. This is very nobel, but it makes you feel overwhelmed and tired in the end. In that case, we will focus on your (unconscious) believes and expectations -for example by using tapping or a healing journey-, work on your self-love and end up with some Reiki and massage to relax.

About me - Laurene
Welcome. I'm Laurene. Together with the Angels I help people to (re)connect with the loving core of their being. To enable them to use it as part of their navigation in life. So they can choose consciously and be (more) happy.
Spiritual journey
‘I was always looking for answers’
It all started when I was a little child. I have always loved people, life and learning. Every single day I was looking for answers, the truth. The more I could learn, the more I had to offer. I devoured books, was taught by a friend how to express my emotions and chose a study which forced me to be in the spotlight (scary!). Step by step I got closer to living my life's purpose: helping people getting over anxiety and live their dream.
'A friend introduced me into the world of Reiki'
I wasn't doing so well in 2007. I felt bad, had an negative self-image and simply 'didn't feel like me'. A friend introduced me into the world of Reiki. My motto 'live as if you were to die tomorrow, learn as if you were to live forever' was crucial here: even though I wasn't familiar with Reiki at all, I booked 3 sessions to try and experience it myself.
‘Since then, Reiki became a part of my life'
I still remember my trip home after my first session. Slightly surprised by the whole experience, and above all incredibly relieved. It wasn't scary and woolly. In fact, I felt really good. Reiki had made me aware of my feelings in a gentle way. With the support of my Master Toña, I uncovered disfunctional beliefs and patterns that I could accept. A burdon fell off me. In the next two sessions I got more relaxed and happy. For the first time in 2007, I was my own self. What a progress! Since then, Reiki became a part of my life.
Reiki, the way.
Because of all these awakening, I was able to make choices that fit me and I felt happier. I decided to get my Reiki I certificate and was soon able to regulate my energy. Reiki II was the next step and Reiki became a way of life. I learned to look at other people with love, took the first steps towards living in the Now and discovered the power of gratitude.
In the meantime, I saw more and more people around me who weren't happy. Having had my own experience with Reiki and the 'when I'm 40, I want to help people' thought always present, I began to feel an urge. That's why I started my Reiki Practitioner training in 2012. It was incredibly informative, confronting and an enrichment of my life. I learned to see the relationships with the Traditional Chinese Medicins, got feedback to increase the effectiveness of my sessions and because I was confronted so much with who I was, I also discovered new ways to heal. I'm so grateful for all the knowledge and wisdom offered.
‘Nothing without a reason’
At the very moment I had subscribed for a course of Energetical Massage and Nutrition consultant, the company I was working for filed for bankrupty. I had been happily working there for seven years, so it hit me hard. Thanks to my belief - nothing without a reason - and my attitude -you can always choose to be positive about everything that happens - it soon changed. I felt: this is the moment I've been waiting for my entire life. Now I can help people.
‘Now I'm doing healing for a living, I'm the happiest person on earth.’
In April 2013 I founded my own business and it is wonderful. Now I'm practicing healing and reading (Reiki is part of it) for a living, I'm the happiest person on earth. I thank God every day for enabling me to go this way. I feel guided and keep looking forward to all the healing and reading sessions and the courses with my lovely clients.
Grateful
On my way, a lot of people have crossed my path. I'm grateful for every single person God brought into my life. There's a few I would like to mention here:
- Marieke, my partner for life, who believes in me and is always there;
- Dolf, my peaceful father;
- Leny, my open-minded and in her own way wise mother;
- Merline, my happy and funny sister;
- Robbert, my friend who looked and looks at me unprejudiced;
- Toña, my Reiki Master full of opportunities;
- Surani, my soul sister and always dedicated coach ‘self-love’.
I'm also grateful for all the wisdom and inspiration of Mikao Usui (founder Reiki), Doreen Virtue, Louise Hay, Deepak Chopra, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Ghandi en Siddharta Gautama (the Buddha).
