Introduction

The foundation of working with Angels was laid in my first book Engelen – Ontmoet de Aartsengelen en je eigen Beschermengelen. It was an introduction in the theoretical and practical aspects of working with Angels, with which you can actually do something in daily life. This new book, Angels Heal – on Physical, Emotional, Mental and Karmic Levels, goes further than the first one; it discusses the subject Healing in a more profound way. Beginners will be inspired by this work. If you are already working with Angels, for yourself or in your own practice, you will find more deepening. As we did in the first book, we‘ll first discuss the theory, followed by practical tips. Of course I‘ll share some healing experiences, partly the ones I experienced myself, partly experiences of my clients.

In this book various subjects will be discussed – health aspects, such as weight, but also addictions, emotional problems, relationships and work. In short, all kinds of situations a human being can experience. Sensitive people can be triggered to such an extent that they are having problems on a mental level. This will be discussed in a practical way.

There is one thing you can‘t do and that is saying to the Angels: ‘Angels, you can heal me now.‘ And then sit back and do nothing yourself. Angels will clean for you whatever they can clean, and they will offer you steps to take, in order to learn your lessons. But those lessons may come in a different way. You may dream about it, and suddenly get an insight. In this way you‘ll get another, lighter path.

In my practice I‘ve noticed that spontaneous healings are experienced by people who don‘t believe at all. Just because they absolutely have no expectations. They aren‘t restricted by thoughts of how much time a healing should take. And they don‘t have high hopes, with which they obstruct the healing. At the most they may think: I‘ll wait and see.

I hope you have a lot of fun reading this book.

The Angels Speak

We would like to say something about healing and mankind. We are always present, however, we are not always invited. Whereas healing has become so much easier. From our perspective, from the Light, we see a lot of suffering, which can be released, and you are allowed to do so. We can offer you a lot of help and save you a lot of time, so that you can grow quicker, can live you soul purpose, and can have a happy, fulfilled and healthy life. We know that many of you may think this is a distant prospect, and that all kinds of aspects of life seem to be problematic.

During a change of ages, problems are more intense, but the change of ages is over. We passed the Age of Pisces and entered the Age of Aquarius, so the biggest problems are lying behind us. Now you can let go again. Previously these changes went by rather slowly, and involved disasters, epidemics, wars and other problems. Although the aftereffects are still noticeable, we expect that this transition will not take hundreds of years, because we reached the age of insights. That is the reason you can let go of the processing of problems and situations, as soon as you have had the insight. Then the healing, as well as spiritual growth, can go very fast.

From the Light, we see it all can be done much easier. With this book we would like to offer you methods to realize the changes. We would like to provide the possibilities, so that you are feeling fine, and the circumstances on your path are helpful, as well as the people around you. We would like to accomplish that you can let go of people and situations in an easier way, because you know you will get something in return that suits you better. You can let go the fear of loss, because you know that loving people and situations will come to you. As soon as you let go of the thoughts of fear and scarcity, you will notice that love and trust will come. And from that point, your life will be totally different. We want to help you with that.

Being whole has, for us, Angels, another meaning than for you, as a human being. From our point of view, being whole is omnipresent. Everything is whole. Everybody is whole. From our point of view, we are the only ones who are able to see that. Sometimes you are in the middle of a storm, and not able to see how huge it is. You just see the part you are dealing with. The whole planet can be okay, but for you there is a lot going on. That turmoil is the illusion of separation, the thought that something is wrong. Whereas we see that all is perfect and fits in the bigger picture. From that point of view, healing is just a verb that is used to recognize again that state of perfection. That wholeness is a matter of recognition instead of going somewhere. Wholeness is!

Concerning this book, we hope you, the reader, will use it and bring it in practice. Make use of what you read, without much thought. When you do what is asked, you will notice and experience that changes will come in your life immediately. You will experience that your life turns into the direction of happiness and health and abundance; these are your birthright, everybody‘s birthright.

The second part of this book is about the practical side of healing and the aspects of life in which you want to heal as a human being. Be prepared to react as quickly as possible when you get a signal in your environment that things aren‘t the way you want them to be. That is the most important thing. Then, the way you handle it isn‘t that important. All the tools in this book are equally effective. Your willingness to look at matters that hinder you and to undertake immediate action, makes or breaks this effectiveness.

The fact that you have started reading this book, is a sign that you are ready to heal. Do not forget that – next to reading and talking to Angels – it is wise to undertake the action steps they offer you. A part of your soul that is hurt, sometimes in more than one lifetime, can block action steps. Resulting in you doing nothing, even though you understand what you‘ll have to do, and even though you know that you‘ll have to take action and that this only takes a couple of minutes. But even then, the ego can sabotage your healing. But how do you get round the ego? Just by saying: 'It doesn‘t matter that you are scared, it‘s all right. With the help of the Angels it can only go the right way. I better take these action steps and see what it brings.' You‘ll see that it always turns out fine. And then you‘ll learn to take the smallest and biggest barriers.

Enjoy the process. Enjoy life.

The Angels

Looking for the roots of medicine

Discussing the complete history of healing or medicine would go too far, if even possible. The earliest history was never recorded. Nevertheless, a survey may be helpful, because then we can see that the medicine we practice nowadays has its roots in the so-called alternative past.

Every now and then it seems current medicine has forgotten her roots in her present, scientific approach, which is called evidence-based medicine. In other words, one is always looking for a logical connection between cause and effect. Next to that, everyone needs to be able to repeat medical studies in an identical way, with identical results in identical circumstances. Medical treatments only take place with, in this way, proven active therapy: prescribing medication, surgery, radiotherapy, rehabilitation or psychotherapy. Some estimates assume – and that can be called remarkable – that only twenty to thirty percent of the medical science is actually evidence-based. The reason for that is, that it isn’t that simple to demonstrate a method or treatment is effective. At the same time there is a development going on in which the medical profession and patients try to uncover old, mystical knowledge; ‘alternative medicine’ according to regular medicine.

Healing finds its origin in the Anglo-Saxon word hal, which means health and wholeness. In this sense it refers directly to the physical and spiritual aspect of a human being. Since time immemorial, we have the skills and the ability to heal ourselves. Just think of the instinctive reaction of children after a fall; they lay their hands on their knee. It seems to take away a part of the pain.

Since time immemorial we have the skills and the ability to heal ourselves

‘The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.’
Albert Einstein

‘A lot of people say they want to get out of pain, and I’m sure that’s true, but they aren’t willing to make healing a high priority. They aren’t willing to look inside to see the source of their pain in order to deal with it.’
Lindsay Wagner

There was a time that absolutely no distinction was made between body, thinking mind and spirit. Energy was considered to be the power that inspired this trinity. That was stopped abruptly with the advent of the materialistic range of thought. For instance, medical science contributed significantly to the disentanglement of the mentioned trinity. More and more the medical profession focalized on the physical body; subsequently followed by the thriving of psychology, coming up at the end of the nineteenth century, and psychiatry, with its origin in the twentieth century. Why? Because one could not explain or solve all human ailments by focalizing on the body, in other words, treat the consequences.

Back in time

Now, let us go back in time. Unfortunately we cannot consult the books to find out what the first form of medicine looked like. There is no recorded prove, and that is making things a lot more difficult. But everything seems to indicate that present medicine has its origin in magical and religious rituals. That was before Louis Pasteur discovered that an ailment could have been caused by microbes. Until that time people around the world practically lived in total ignorance of the existence of microbes, and that they can cause many ailments. That doesn’t mean there were no theories, explaining the cause of an ailment and how they could be treated. In antiquity people relied heavily on magical and astrology theories. Then, people considered an ailment as an invasion of evil spirits in the body, among other things. And so they tried to find security in magical words, objects or acts that could exorcize these spirits. In this way they tried to recover health, and they operated various ways to spring the spirits, such as administering herbs and drilling a hole in the skull.

In antiquity people relied heavily on magical and astrology theories.

There have always been magical theories – next to religious ones. But in the last case ailments were considered as a punishment of vengeful gods. That is why healing had to be found in prayer or making a sacrifice to the gods. In a way faith and prayer were constructive; sacrificing fellow man to propitiate the gods, hardly.

‘An illness is the illusion of separation of the Source – expressed in the body. However, we are always connected to the Source and the reality is that we are perfect.’
Annelies Hoornik

The fact that prehistoric man couldn’t explain ailments, may have opened a door for demons as the cause of all misery. In that respect, the stride from magic to religion that was made much later, is on the face of it not that great. The priests were the new magicians who could exorcise the demons. Initially, the witches and magicians claimed to understand the stars, herbs and the means to exorcise demons. And that was the origin of medicine.

History in a nutshell

If we go briefly through history, we notice that the Sumerian medicine was based on astrology. They were convinced that the stars determined the doings of man from birth. Later civilizations, such as the Assyrian and Babylonian, held to a kind of magical realism in which the priest classes also were the physicians. Most of the times they connected ailments to demons.

In the time of the Egyptians specialization of the physicians appeared. Also pharaohs, such as Imhotep, practiced healing; medical treatments were first described by Thoth, and dedicated to the gods. The old Hebrew believed that ailments were caused by the wrath of God, because he was furious about the sins of human beings. In former days ill people had to ask the priest to mediate.

Ailments resulted from the wrath of the gods

Around 1500 BC Indian medicine arises, the Ayurveda, consisting of sacred texts that were revealed by the gods. Chakra and Susruta were the founders. In that period they had the skills to perform surgery, but they had no anatomical knowledge. They also knew that malaria was caused by mosquito’s, and that rats were carriers of the plague.

The rise of Chinese medicine ran parallel to the Egyptians. Emperor Shen Nung was the founder of Chinese medicine (around 2800 BC), and he was helped by the god Pan Ku, who created the world. It was Pan Ku who conquered chaos and created order by Yin and Yang. In those days ailments were considered as the disruption of the balance between Yin and Yang.

‘It is reasonable to expect the doctor to recognize that science may not have all the answers to problems of health and healing.’
Norman Cousins

At the beginning of Greek medicine an ailment was also connected to the gods. The most important god of healing was Aesculapius, the son of the god of the sun, Apollo. It was he who always carried a rod, encircled by a snake, in order to help the sick. As like Jesus he was able to resurrect the dead.

Introduction of science

Pythagoras started the medical-philosophical range of thought; he was the first one who in a scientific way engaged upon healing. He wondered what food had to do with health. Furthermore he thought music was of influence on health. Empocledes, one of Pythagoras’ students, was of the opinion that a disruption of the relation between the four elements – earth, water, fire and air – was the cause of human ailments.

From that time, healing and belief parted more and more. Research and experiences became increasingly important. In 500 BC, a medical school in Kos, Greece, where Hippocrates was educated, researched more and more the cause of ailments. Hippocrates owes his fame mainly to the fact that he broke with mythical and religious healing. His workings highlighted observations, which he tried to explain as logic as possible.

A disruption of the relation between the four elements causes human ailments

During the Roman Empire a medical encyclopedia was written for the first time; in this work subjects such as dietetics, course of a disease, plastic surgery and pathology were discussed. As a result, the Greek Claudius Galenus wrote as much as five hundred medical books, and those works would dominate the thought about medicine for almost a thousand years.

The development of medicine ended in the Middle Ages, because no one disputed the theories of Hippocrates and Galenus. All this had to do with the threat that was formed by the Church. The slightest criticism was sufficient to be sentenced to the stake. In that time monasteries and convents functioned as hospital; the brothers and sisters practiced healing and pharmaceutics. In the herb gardens of monasteries and convents medicinal herbs were grown, which were processed into medicines. In later years monastery and convent healing was prohibited, because the monks visited the sick at home. The lures of the outside world formed a too big infringement to their piety.

‘The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind..’
Paracelsus

Surgeon and chirurgeon

Later on, healing was taught at university departments. In that respect Bologna was prominent, but also Paris had a good reputation. The first surgeons were barbers, because physicians did not want to dirty their hands with blood; that was beneath them, they thought. In later years, a strong bond between healing and surgery arose. At first, only the upper class could afford these treatments. The ordinary man still had to consult astrologers, magicians and quacks, followed by chirurgeons, medical practitioners who had their own chirurgeon shop. They treated wounds, did simple surgery, but they also performed amputations, without anesthetics! During the Renaissance, surgery distanced itself from the view in which theology was covered with a veneer of scholarship. One’s own observations became a source of knowledge in the form of anatomy. In the second half of the fifteenth century science flourished, aided by the invention of the printing press.

Healing is more than theology with a veneer of scholarship

‘The wish for healing has always been half of health.’
Lucius Seneca

The Swiss physician, theologian, astrologer, and alchemist Paracelsus was important for the developments in the Renaissance. He introduced chemicals such as medicines. Then again, a period of stagnation followed, until half of the seventeenth century when almost all old theories were dismissed or improved. For the first time an invention like the microscope showed microbes.

In the eighteenth century, more and more direct perceptible and by experiments repeated facts were accepted, which formed the base of the nineteenth century scientific range of thoughts. Pathological anatomy was born, but also a new method, initiated by German astronomer and physician Franz Anton Mesmer: magnetic therapy. This was also the period in which homeopathy arose, devised by German physician Samuel Hahnemann. The idea of healing the similar with the similar occurred to him. The English physician Edward Jenner introduced vaccination in the world of medicine. In a way, you can compare his method with homeopathy. He was the first who thought that, if you vaccinated a person with an illness, that person would not get that particular illness. However, Jenner couldn’t find out how. The process of the immune system was not yet discovered.

‘You don’t have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.’
C.S. Lewis

Full Speed

In the nineteenth century developments happened in quick succession, so specialization was needed in order to keep up with everything in a particular discipline. A huge breakthrough within surgery was pain control. Formerly alcohol was used, followed by chloroform, until anesthetics were discovered. While pain control was a huge breakthrough, so was hygiene, because the number of infections decreased significantly. Because of the rise of microbiology cause and consequences of most illnesses and diseases became known. One of the leading figures was Louis Pasteur, who demonstrated that illnesses were caused by microbes.

The theme of the twentieth century was mainly new diagnostic methods. The discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming stands out, just like the discovery of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, who invented how organs and bones could be made visible with X-rays. Another important invention was radiotherapy, and that led to the discovery that radioactivity is effective against tumors

‘To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not able to keep our mind strong and clear.’
Buddha

Medical science is still in progress

Medical science is still in progress. Despite all successes one has not found medications for all diseases and illnesses – for instance cancer and hiv. Unfortunately it’s a fact that when one disease, such as smallpox, disappears, a new disease comes up. And that is the bottleneck of modern medical science. Rather than on prevention, the focus of medical science is more on diseases or defects in human functioning; and the goal is recovering the condition into a healthy one or modifying the symptoms.

The consequences

As mentioned before, the Church also played an important role in the development of medical science as we know it. Traditionally the Church claimed spirituality, and paid no attention to the healing aspect. Or may be they always continued to practice exorcism. For four centuries the Church also contributed heavily to systematic persecution and execution of lay healers. From 1300, these people were called witches and magicians for centuries; and they made sure these spiritual healers came to meet a gruesome end. A conservative estimate mentions tens of thousands of victims; of which 80 percent were women. Contrary to what most people think, the witch-hunting did not take place in the Dark Ages, but during the Renaissance.

Centuries of persecutions have heavily marked our collective memory. Regularly people who are following a training as spiritual therapist, experience a total blockade when they wish to make it their profession. Most of the times they don’t have a clue why they block. Until they find out that they have a memory of a former life as a witch, and that their life then horribly ended on a stake or by drowning. They sabotage themselves when they are about to start their own practice. No problems arise as long as these healers practice their old knowledge on behalf of family and friends. However, they don’t have the courage to charge clients for their services. Because that is the moment they have to confront themselves again with their fear. The justification that their talent was given by God, and so shouldn’t be used for commercial purposes, cuts no ice. A regular physician also charges his patients for his services. And an employer is also being paid for the time he is present at his job.

We all understand the art of healing

Many of us have someone in their inner circle who has ‘special hands’, or they know someone who has portentous dreams, and knows, just like that, what will happen in future. Television-series like Het Zesde Zintuig (The Sixth Sense) have many viewers, and that’s for a reason, these programs wake something up in people.

The art of healing re-discovered

A wake-up call is okay, but for some of us it has something of a nightmare if push comes to shove. Then you are left holding the baby you inherited. Another side of this heritage is that we have a National ‘Health’ Service, and their profession is practiced in a ‘zieken’huis. (In Dutch the word ‘ziek’ means ‘not healthy’, or ‘sick’. A ‘ziekenhuis’ is an institute where sick people are examined, treated and nursed, in English this is called ‘a hospital’ - transl.) In the regular approach of medical science there is no spiritual basis whatsoever. That may well be the reason why people less and less consent the scientific explanation of their existence. It has stimulated them to take up their own spiritual search again. The good news is that everyone is a healer. That isn’t a new thought, but something we had forgotten, and now are re-discovering. For instance, Reiki is a healing method, and the last hundred years this method is coming on enormously. Slowly, acknowledgment for this kind of alternative therapies is growing.

Before the time science took the Western society in a hold, healing was a very natural thing. Every village had its own wicce, which means wise woman; the male version was called druid. These ‘special’ people were born with the mysterious gift of healing by touch; and many were also talented in healing with herbs. This knowledge was passed on from generation to generation.

‘The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.’
Marianne Williamson

Traditional healers work with dreams

Now traditional healers can only be found in remote territories, such as the Amazon. Here, Western society has hardly been able to throw their destructive impacts about. Anywhere in the world, traditional healers have some important similarities. Not only the transfer of knowledge from generation to generation, but also that a person at birth is recognized as a healer. Generally, traditional healers derive their powers from their preventive methods. So the fact that none of the villagers is ill, means the wise one is doing his job properly. Healers like this, mostly are very inspired. By means of visions it is made clear to them that someone will get ill.

‘There are so many ways to heal. Arrogance may have a place in technology, but not in healing. I need to get out of my own way if I am to heal.’
A.M. Schaef

Comeback traditionele heler

In Western society healers, who work from their ancient tradition, only encountered opposition. That’s why that at some point healers did their work underground, just as Christianity was forced to do during the Roman Empire. Obviously this withdrawal didn’t do them for a very long period any good. But now we can say that the traditional healer is making a comeback, and so does spirituality in general. The things that formerly couldn’t bear the light of the day, are now openly coming out.

Nowadays it is called holistic healing, meaning healing of body and mind. This approach is generally considered as the most important character of several methods that have ‘returned’ in the New Age. The revival has brought in a wide variety of methods in the field of breathing, touch, moving, energy, sound, color, herbs, magic and natural remedies.

‘The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.’
Buddha

Regular Western healing is very dualistic: kill the microbe

As mentioned before, prevention is an important characteristic of the traditional healer. An example are the court physicians of the Chinese emperors. They were assured of a successful career if the persons put under their care, didn’t fall ill. An illness was considered as incompetent and a failure.

Prevention is one aspect that distinguishes the traditional healer from their scholarly trained colleagues. Another aspect is that the traditional healer assumes that God gave him his talent. He states that all life is coming from God. That God works through him. If you’re having problems with the overtones of the concept ‘God’ that has risen over the years, then you can use the word Source, or light or prana. Healers, who are still working from an old tradition, often use a description of God or they refer to ‘gods’ or ‘deity’. A third aspect of difference is that the traditional healer has a holistic point of view. He is used to look to the cohesion, to the whole-ness. In our Western society physicians especially are trying to solve the consequences, the way an illness manifests itself. Fortunately, most of the times they can heal the manifestation of an illness, but the cause is left untouched.

Traditional healers have a holistic point of view

Dualistic thought plays an important role in the history of healing. The traditional healers emphasized, and still do, unity: let the unlimited life force and life energy flow freely. And when things go wrong, and it appears to be a disturbance of balance, they make sure that the patient reconnects himself with the flow of life energy. However, the ‘modern’ way of healing - also called regular medicine – has a strong dualistic approach. Illnesses have to be challenged. The energetic aspect of a human being is completely left aside.

A holistic point of view can be found in the natural principles of plants; an example is homeopathy. The Greek Hippocrates, founder of modern medicine, was very well aware of that fact. He wrote in the Law of Similars: ‘By similar things a disease is produced and through the application of the like is cured.’ Paracelsus and Hahnemann agreed with this principle.

‘From an energetic point of view, challenging an illness is pouring oil on the fire. Because everything you resist, gets powerful. So you can win the battle, but not the war. By searching for the cause you really can heal a symptom.’
Annelies Hoornik

All in all we can come to the conclusion that Western medicine and the principles of medicine completely have drifted apart. However, the turning point seems to have arrived, partly due to Eastern influences, such as the range of thought that energy or prana is the essence of a human being, and partly due to the longing of Western people for a reasonable alternative. It seems inevitable and just a matter of time that both worlds – ‘regular’ and ‘alternative’ – meet each other in future. Simply because we as human beings, always are and will keep looking for wholeness.

‘The part can never be well unless the whole is well.’
Plato

More and more, Angels show themselves

Since Spring 2000, Angels have been more active in the lifes of people. As I experienced, when Archangel Michael appeared in my living room. But most of the time the appearance of Angels is more subtle.

The Angels ‘show’ themselves more and more by giving people hints. These are clues of their presence, until the point people can pick up these clues themselves. Sometimes Angels show themselves by means of feathers. When I tell one of my stories about feathers, that I discovered in a locked room with the windows shut, people often tend to some resistance. Until they start to realize that in their life also unexplainable situations occurred. From then on they understand signs better.

And that is immediately noticed by the Angels; they then will enhance their efforts, so that you can work easier with them. As soon as you’re starting to react, the Angels see you as an open channel to send information to. Suddenly an enthusiastic communication begins. Give the Angels an inch, a point of departure, and they will clear a path in your life!

Hints of Angels are often subtle

Since the Age of Aquarius more and more people have experienced it. Of course the Angels were present all the time, but until the year 2000 they kept a low profile. When you were looking for them in the twentieth century, you surely would have found them. But nowadays the Angels come much closer. Their presence is more prominent and that is the reason people tell me: ‘I have to do something with Angels. I almost get the feeling I am forced to.’ That feeling comes from the powerful energetic presence of the Angels. We all have a choice, but there is a big difference with how it used to be. Sometimes I explain this phenomenon as follows: Formerly, the Angels were at a distance of a hundred meters, nowadays they are right in front of you, saying: ‘Hi, here I am. What shall we do today?’

Seemingly out of the blue, people are confronted with the Angels, in order to undertake some action together. The title of this chapter, Rise of the Angels, is referring to that.

Soul contact

The Angels never will go beyond signals or some gentle pushes. I think it’s more likely a matter of the agreements you made before you entered Earth. I have the strong feeling that I then agreed the Angels would wake me up, if that hadn’t had happened at the beginning of the year 2000. And when I look around, I notice more and more people have similar experiences. Probably they agreed the same when they ‘signed’ their contract.

Wake-up call

It’s remarkable that people are often approached by the Angels for the first time, when it’s their birthday, or some days before or afterwards. I can’t tell you why. Probably that too is part of the deal. For the Angels, who have no knowledge of time nor space, it’s hard to arrange a specific moment. However, a particular milestone, the such-and-such birthday, makes it easy for them to measure. I think you well may know that the Angels don’t tell the time, so it’s harder for them to approach you at a specific moment.

I don’t distinguish Archangels from Guardian Angels. Since 2000, the Archangels are coming forward just as fast as the Guardian Angels, and maybe even faster. Right after the millennium I also got a kick in the pants by Archangel Michael. And many people who receive one of my trainings, also initially talk about the Archangels. I think that’s because the powerful energy of the Archangels is easier to catch than the subtle energy of your Guardian Angels. Guardian Angels are with you from birth; they have a soft energy, and therefore their presence is less noticeable. You know them for so long, and their energy is so familiar that you don’t notice it anymore.

In 2000, I got a kick in the pants by Archangel Michael

Every now and then Guardian Angels give you the idea you feel something on your back. That is a ‘little hand’. They approach you very softly. Sometimes you feel them like a soft breeze over your cheek, and you may think: What did I just feel? That is a ‘wing’. Archangels like Michael are more powerful, you hardly can’t miss them. And when it’s about a wake-up call, I think they send Michael to open the ball. And if you do a lot of writing, it’s Archangel Gabriel who does it for you. The presence of Gabriel is also penetrating, because ‘intrusive’ isn’t the correct expression. But he will approach you in such a way that you eventually have to notice him.

The following day I found feathers everywhere

The purpose of this book is to remind you that you are a light being, like the Angels, although you look like a human being. That’s the reason why you have the urge to contact the Angels, and why you are willing to open yourself to work with them. And that’s what it’s all about in my workshops. They offer you the possibility to move forward on your soul path as quickly as possible, so you can live your tasks and the desires of your soul and find spiritual deepening as a human being. More and more students in my workshops are curious or have something with Angels. Then they may not have been aware of an experience with Angels, but they would love it.

I see it as my task to let you stand on your own two feet. And that works. Many people tell me that after following a workshop their life has changed. Maybe your life is upside down within a year; in the good sense of the word! Then so many things are changing that you might think: How did I even manage that? How could I have missed the presence of the Angels? And then you come to the conclusion that for a long time your actions were unnecessary difficult. Make use of the Angels and give unnecessary worries to them.

Inviting the Angels
The only thing you’ll have to do, is inviting the Angels, and they are present. But, fair is fair, I too had to learn that. At first I sometimes told them: ‘All that waffle about feathers... I just don’t believe it.’ Well, the following day I found feathers everywhere. Even at places you normally wouldn’t find feathers, such as under the windshield wipers of my car!

It really isn’t necessary to have contact with the Angels in a sacred way. I don’t do that either. That thought is a remnant of the Church, and it’s more a threshold standing in the way than an encouragement to work with the Angels. Communication has another meaning for Angels then the way we understand it. They think in possibilities and serve your highest good and healing. When you work with Angels, it’s alright to be skeptical. Being skeptic is okay, adopting all things indiscriminately isn’t wise at all. When I experience something, I first try to explain it logically. And when it can’t be explained in a logic way, I will look further. As you may know, I don’t expect that all things that might happen has to do with the works of Angels. First of all, I take a good plain look at it.

Feathers at the strangest places are that kind of Angel signals that can’t be explained logically. Yet, I also tried to analyze it, but eventually I had to admit that it was too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence. And at that moment I made a U-turn, and I opened myself. Then I saw even more feathers. Of course I am still skeptical, but now I call it ‘making a distinction’; making a distinction between the reality of daily life and special experiences. It’s wishful thinking to consider everything as special.

It’s okay to be skeptical about the Angels. Being skeptical is good.

Past history
For experiencing Angels from one day to the next you don’t need a spiritual past history. I’m the living proof of that; I had a career in the computer world. And even then the Angels can manifest themselves like a bolt from the blue. Then it’s your turn, and it’s your choice how to react. I know people who stayed the course of their life after an Angel experience. That is okay, that’s called free will.

Synergy

Since the turn of the century we experience a spiritual scissor movement. On the one hand the rise of Angels, on the other hand people are more open for spirituality. It’s a movement that reinforces both sides, thanks to the fact that the planetary frequency has risen in such a way that communication with the Angels has become easier. In the past it was much harder, and then you needed a trance medium. But that’s all in the past; nowadays, you can do it by yourself, because we, as mankind, have risen.

Undoubtedly you have heard it: there was a hype going on about the year 2012, and that meant a lot of new books and movies about the subject. Everybody was waiting for the dramas or wonders, but actually these occur in your own backyard. The frequency has risen so strongly, that we all have reached a point in which spiritual development is moving much faster. Now, it’s possible and it’s permitted, but you’ll have to open yourself. The Angels are ready for you: for ages they were waiting for you.

Weatherman
A weatherman in a blue jacket ’disappears’ when he is standing before a blue weather chart. That also was the case with Angels. They were present all the time, but we couldn’t see them. In this period of time your frequency and the frequency of the planet have risen, so we are at the point we meet each other easier. The blue filter has disappeared and suddenly you notice their presence.

One of the main jobs of Angels is healing everything within you that causes stress. You are in the wrong frequency, when you are dealing with stress. If you’re fighting stress, you can’t live your soul purpose. Just by healing your daily stress, you’ll get another life; that is to say, if you allow them to. Take an honest look at the stress you experience every day. Think about the past weeks, and imagine that all that stress is taken away in an instant. What would your life look like? That’s the number one reason the Angels are present. And they will also gladly help you when you invite them.

The frequency of our planet has risen, because small groups of people have worked thereto. Now, after all these years, we can say there is a turning point. That is called ‘critical mass’. Just look at the Internet and you will see that this issue is discussed frequently. The turning point was reached in 2008. Since then heightened awareness has entered the mass. Resulting in the fact that people who formerly weren’t practicing spirituality, now do so, and they find themselves into a spiritual quest. Young people and old people.

Spirituality and rationality

Sometimes Angels give you a wake-up call by agreement. Of course there are more than enough stories of people in life-threatening situations in which the Angels interfered because it wasn’t their time yet. Most of the times that’s the moment of your wake-up call. These are moments of a huge turning point, a life changing experience. Yet people who have had an Angel experience generally hesitate to talk about it, because they know their experience is something very special. Sometimes they find out that people who haven’t had an experience like this or have no feeling whatsoever for Angels, can be verbally hard, which makes them even more reserved.

When it isn’t your time yet, the Angels will interfere

During my workshops I notice people are glad they can talk with like-minded. For the first time in their life they meet others who share their interests, because before that they couldn’t talk about these things with their immediate environment. Often I hear things like: ‘I’m living on an island.’ Whereas approximately 80 percent of the people believe in Angels. And most of them have had an Angel experience, but hesitate to talk about it.

I open myself completely for the Angels

Realizing you’re not the only one, gives a feeling of relief. The only thing is, we don’t talk about it much. But when it occurs that you mention it, you’ll notice more people in your environment are experiencing the same, but they kept their mouth shut, just as you did. And then I said: ‘This is what my life is about, and no longer will I be mysterious about it.’ Since I made that decision, I hardly hear people say: ‘That’s weird.’ The only thing I sometimes notice is that people have nothing with Angels. That too is okay. It’s okay to be skeptical. But because they hear me talking about it and they see I’m acting normal, I notice some changes in them. I hear things like: ‘Okay, maybe it’s not that weird at all, because you talk about it so naturally.’ And: ‘You are down to earth and in no way a daydreamer.’ That is where we and the world are heading to, that turning point is now taking place.

Collection of curiosities
In large sections of the population spirituality is becoming debatable by television programs like Char and The Sixth Sense. These programs show people that psychic experiences aren’t strange at all. But not that long ago spiritual people were put away in the collection of curiosities by the media. It’s about time that we regard this subject to be more common. But make no mistake, when you hear people talk about a psychic, and you think of movies, the strangest things come forward; creepy people, demons, warlords and zombies. Whereas in real life no such things happen.

It’s my desire to bring spirituality and rationality closer together. That’s important for me. I am here, at this Earth, and here I have to do some things. One is to lead a life as a human being, with all my daily worries. Another thing is spiritual growth, coming back to my Source. In my opinion there is only one way to go about it: bringing everything in balance. For me, a balance is something that is between two halves. When I bring my right half of the brain in balance with my left half of the brain, and I do the same with my chakras, from top to bottom, and from left to right, then there must be a point where everything comes together.

The way I work with the Angels is similar. I open myself completely, and simultaneously I stay down to earth. I don’t want to be merely a channel for things from above. These things must be able to get out too. And the only way to do that is keeping the balance between heaven and earth. I see a lot of people who enter the path of daydreaming because of their spiritual development, and then lose their way. All of a sudden their life isn’t going that smooth anymore. No wonder, all that daydreaming is keeping you from dealing with things here. You’ve lost your balance, and because of that you are no longer grounded.

In my workshops and the way I work with people you will find a practical approach. Showing off during my workshops is not my cup of tea. Sometimes people think I do very special things. But if they ask me about it, I give them a down to earth answer which immediately adjusts such an idea.

Angels in daily life

During a workshop people sometimes ask me whether I see Angels next to them. But if I would focus on that, I wouldn’t be able to teach. Then I would be celebrating my own party, and the only thing I would do is smiling to the Angels. That’s the reason why I once told Archangel Michael: ‘It’s nice you are hanging around here all the time, but in a way it isn’t that helpful. I rather have something that is functional.’ And he understood. Now I only see him in the form of a blue dot. If I have a question, and the possibilities are passing by, Michael shows me the best option by means of a blue dot that brightens up. Short and powerful, I can’t miss it. So I’m no longer stressed when I have to take decisions.

‘Do you see Angels when teaching?’

I do the same with Archangel Raphael. He is a great Angel, who does excellent work. But, when he comes by in full regalia, I would only be looking at his celestial beauty and then I wouldn’t be able to work. That’s the reason the Angels don’t come to help us. They are functional, so use them in a functional way. I also tell people not to keep busy with: ‘I want to see them’. If that’s your focus, you’re only engaging with yourself, and not with the things you are supposed to do.

I don’t need to work with the Angels all day. I have my life over here and I know that they will give me a hint when necessary. And when I pick up that sign, it’s so much gained. If I don’t, they’ll have to repeat it. Then it takes longer before I have everything running, but eventually all turns out fine. That’s the way it works with Angels. They are here and it’s all up to your alertness and willingness to change things in your life, and to what extent they can actually help you. After all, if you’re only enjoying the presence of Angels and subsequently do nothing, what’s the point of their presence?

If you don’t pick up the hints of the Angels, things take longer

For centuries the Angels were banned, because spirituality was the exclusive right of the Roman-Catholic Church. Only when you held a very high rank in the hierarchy of the Church you could work with Angels, otherwise it was considered as sacrilege. Ordinary people, of flesh and blood, weren’t pure or good enough. And I’m sure that wasn’t the only reason. But all that has changed. In this field the Church has lost her grip. The Church isn’t the prime choice for the young generation; they prefer a form of spirituality that fits them. A form that gives freedom. Hell is closed.

Michael about the rise of the Angels

Concerning the rise of the Angels here on Earth, Archangel Michael says: ‘We have always been present, and we still are. The time we had to step back so that mankind could develop itself, is over. As a race, you had to develop yourselves, to be able to come into a certain awareness, in order to physically live through all kind of things, but you also had to experience issues like an industrial and technical revolution. You all had to experience all sorts of things, so that you, as world population would come to a point at which you are prepared to look beyond just the physical, the survival.

Have you gained a lot, but are you still feeling empty inside?

In the following phase surviving was extending the possibilities, yes, even luxury and abundance. Only, you didn’t really understand abundance. People focused on material abundance as an extension of survival. And that caused a time delay. On the other hand, there have been a lot of people who kept busy with their development. And that group turned into the non-material. Now the world has reached the Age of Aquarius, and the point at which people say: ‘The race to ‘have’ all kinds of things is tiring.’ People wonder if all the trouble is worth the material value. You might have gained a lot, but from the inside you’re still empty.

That’s what we were waiting for, the moment people would be willing to see the things they can’t see. To be prepared to open their eyes for the things beyond. We step into the lives of those people. Some of you have brought the world population to a certain point. Then they said: ‘It’s time to leave.’ We can see them leave in large groups, for instance at natural disasters or assaults. They fulfilled their contract and they chose for a quick exit. And by doing so, they also teach the ones who stay behind.

As mentioned before, there is a group of people who open themselves more and more. The tragedies that happen worldwide, force them to reconsider their convictions. You do have a choice: you can be angry about the things that happen, or you can try to find a deeper meaning. Do you open yourself for new experiences? Are you more and more being convinced that the world doesn’t bring what you were looking for? Because, when you gained it, it appeared to be empty. Then, looking for the actual implication, is the only thing to do. And the Angels will help you find that implication.

The first choice we Angels have to make, is to bring change into your daily life. That doesn’t mean big changes. The small ones, which make your life easier, and make your body healthier, will make sure you will focus more on inner peace at a mental and emotional level. Adding up all these small changes will ultimately result in big changes. A big change in one go is much harder than small changes that happen inconspicuously. We may let go through your head to have another diet. And you might consider it a couple of times, until you think: Well, I think I don’t eat this or that anymore, because you are noticing your body is protesting more and more against that kind of food. In this way you let go of something. We’ll make sure you’ll want something to eat that is more positive, so letting go will be much easier. A lot of people struggle with food. While that is an item in which you can invite us to make healthy choices and having a healthy appetite. Then unhealthy matters just will disappear. That’s just one of the many examples with which we can make your life easier.

Invite us, so you can make healthy choices

We are here to help you with your life choices in the form of work, exercise and health. The question is: When will you invite us? That’s why we’re here for. Your Guardian Angels, but also the Archangels with more global tasks and their sub-groups of co-workers, we’re all here to help you. Invite us, ask us literally what you need, and you’ll get it, if it matches your soul path. Look beyond your purse. For instance, you might want a lot of money. Why? What do you want to buy specifically? What does this matter bring you at that point? You actually might want recognition, friendship, love. Then aim for that, and ask us to bring you that. That’s easier than making a detour via money and material goods, and ultimately finding out that those things don’t bring you that wished for recognition, friendship and love.

Separation

For centuries there has been the thought of separation. Formerly Jesus separated from Heaven, and came to Earth. He was fully aware of that process, lived through it with full awareness, and also in the most painful way. That period is called the Age of Pisces, and the theme was separation. That’s over now, and you can let go of the thought of separation. Jesus returned to his Father and the Holy Spirit. The unity has been recovered.

Please do realize, this unity has been there all the time, and that you now will find the unity with the Source again. The period of separation is over and done with. You don’t need to experience it any longer. You can let go. When you think that something in your life isn’t right, and you experience resistance, then find out what you can let go. Look for the lesson and the options you have. Don’t just see the things you don’t like. In this way you can let go things very quickly, and at the same time you prevent the physical experience. An unpleasant experience will instantly be neutralized. And the healing of wholeness is a fact.’
