About the Systemic Constellations and why I added this training to my professional practice over 10 years ago.
What drew me to Constellations are the teachings implicit in this work. The process inherently includes a sacred space of knowing without overtly saying anything literal about spirituality, philosophy or wisdom. Which is amazing, as words (especially these days) can diminish the intimacy with the silence. This space everyone has known as children, before childhood became too heavy. As a child we lived this place as innocence in every moment, with the possibilities to begin again and again.
Constellations also brings community together quickly and deeply, on more dimensions than just what we see.
“I indignantly answered, “Do you call light what we men call the worst darkness? Do you call day night?”
To this my soul spoke a word that roused my anger, “My light is not of this world.”
I cried, “I know of no other world!”
The soul answered, “Should it not exist because you know nothing of it?”
― C.G. Jung The Red Book
Included in the process are 3 positions. An Issue Holder, Representatives and Witnesses.
Some facilitators differentiate between prices for the Issue Holder and then the Representatives/Witnesses. (As it seems on the outside you ‘get’ more from being an Issue Holder). For marketing this makes some sense and may be needed, but from the view of the soul this dividing is not the beauty of the work.
Representatives are a way to encounter the essential truth of humanity, that we are here for others, not for ourselves. This unspoken teaching in Constellations is as important as an Issue Holder, if not more so. Often times in the Representative position we connect with the issue as if it was our own, in a simpler way, not attached to the outcome. Therefore, we can receive an understanding that won’t be hijacked by the tenacity of the ego.
Another part that is so essential is the circle of witnesses. Witnessing in all spiritual work is primary.
Witnessing—an awareness of what is happening in the inner and outer worlds. It means a state of awareness that sees without judgment, without expectation, without wanting anything, and in particular without wanting anything to change.
This is a very, very important esoteric spiritual practice—to witness, to watch. (Llewellyn Vaughn Lee)
These are some of the parts of the process of constellations that are not visible but are an important step in creating a realization separate from our patterns.
If you are an artist or professional in the healing arts and want to use creativity as a process of transformation to remove obstacles, I am giving individual sessions at a reduced rate for the next few weeks.
