This, in my opinion, is a 'must' to listen to. It makes absolute sense to me on every level. It hits me in so many ways - the absolute relief of what, on some level, I've known throughout my life but, as a child, I couldn't express - and a deep sadness. The sadness, for me, is that, having been born in the '50s I now know that virtually the entire population was traumatized on some level - dissociated and relying on their minds to manipulate and control their environment. Back then we had no words or space to digest, assimilate and recover from our traumas - and most of us had no ground to stand on. How many of us are still going around posturing and striving - trying desperately to arrive somewhere indefinable - 'success', 'acclaim', 'worthiness'.... scrambling in the world of form and other to find illusive peace? How many of us can truly be 'naked' with self or other? How many of us can communicate from the transparency of the heart? If only we could see that we are virtually all traumatized to some degree and to lovingly deal with that without judgment or in a horrified sense of having something 'wrong' with us. Now our stresses are vastly different from our forefathers and more complex, but, if we are privileged enough to surrender into mindfulness and being, I believe we can now digest and release the trauma in our blood and genes. For me Family Constellations is a way to do this that is hugely heart-based and compassionate in its approach.

Are you worried about a so-called 'problem child', are you seeing generational patterns repeating themselves, ...? Family constellations can get right to the heart of the matter, unravelling the entanglements that stem from the blind love of a child - restoring harmony, healing and restoration of flow within the family system. This sacred work can show what is truly happening beneath the surface of any problem/dis-ease in any area of your life, work or play. Only one member of the family needs to attend. It reaches beneath the awareness of everyday reality to get to the source of blocks and problematic behaviour. All of us are entangled with our parents' and ancestral stuff. We run with their pain and aren't available to feel our own. Then, despite our best intentions to avoid passing on the pain - doing the opposite to what was done to us, etc. - we simply pass the disconnect to self on. When we hug and praise our kids, they sense our pain and run with that - avoiding their own and thus the pattern is repeated. It is said that one constellation is the equivalent of 10 years of therapy. Indeed that has been my experience. This work has saved my life. It is profound soul work, cuts to the chase, supporting us to hand back the pain and surrender to the love that underlies everything - despite all appearances to the contrary!! This work is very sacred and dear to my heart <3

It is said that one constellation is the equivalent of 10 years of therapy. It cuts to the chase, supporting us to surrender to the love that underlies everything - despite all appearances to the contrary!! Not everyone gets to do a piece of work, but if you are open I believe everyone gets healing. I believe everyone who comes, whether as an observer, participant or constellated will receive new insights, perspective, understanding and healing from the day.Indeed I have got some of my deepest healings in other people's constellations. There will be a lotto on the day to choose who gets to constellate their issue.♥
