Presentation Description:
Constellation work is a powerful portal into a larger reality in which one often feels a greater sense of freedom and expansiveness. With opportunities to work on patterns in the personal psyche which may be stuck or redundant as well as opportunity to merge into the vast fields of knowing through representation in others' constellations, participants often find themselves gratefully extricated from their personal stories and realities and gently but clearly offered a new lens through which to see the world. Although one returns to their body and place in time, it is difficult to entirely forget the other realities accessible through constellation work. Each step into the broader realms of the knowing fields leaves expansion in some form as a result. Expansion is another name for healing.
THE ORIGINS: Bert Hellinger, father of Constellation Work, has been a priest, missionary, and psychotherapist in his 80+ years. Movements of the Soul, the setting of constellations for healing and personal growth is based on an understanding that what is ignored, hidden or shunned does not go away, often hanging on into the lives of future generations in the form of dis-ease, psychological issues, and general malaise. In other words, many of our problems are not our own; they have become part of our "constellation". Hellinger's work has been at the forefront of effective theraputic practice in Europe for many years. Constellation work offers soulful exploration and healing for individuals, their families and all kinds of dis-ease.
THE WORK: By accessing the family, cultural or mythic field of an individual through setting a constellation, we can be with the past and set it right- simply by taking a look, acknowledging it, and letting it move through. This will ripple forward into the present causing more peace and flow for the individual and those related to the system the constellation was set for.
Beyond the individual constellation, and at the heart of Lexi's enthusiasm for this work, is the opportunity for particiapnts to grow out of "self" and into the collective. By making way for the energy of another being to move through, one lets go of identity as one person, one ego, one story, and merges with Oneness. The positive repercussions for participants are often significant and deepens the idea that by helping others we help ourselves. Similarly, by doing our own work, we heal the world; when the burdens we carry between lifetimes affect many systems, our freedom from the burden loosens the entire pattern.
