Gorgeous, Mieke! Thanks for this. I am saving it for myself as a reminder,
and will reflect on it into the New Year.
Warmly,
Alison

During the 2013 US Systemic Constellations Conference we had the
opportunity to be introduced to the healing techniques of the Maori people
of New Zealand.
The most important thing I learned from them is that the border between
healer and being healed is thin. In our Western way of thinking it is very
important to know who is the healer and for the patient it is important to
know that he will be healed and that the healer takes care of him/her. What
we saw and experienced was totally different from our Western thinking.
Apparently, the first person received much more time then the next persons.
What happened is that healing was not just meant for this one person, but
also for all persons present in the room, including the healers themselves.
Everyone contributes with his own energy. The force of everyone creates an
energetic field and makes it possible that the weakest points of everyone
are healed. There is not one person responsible for the whole process.
Everyone contributes.
When I learned doing constellations, there was the typical client with his
issue asking for a constellation. A constellation was done, and the next
client asked for a constellation for his/her issue. And so the day went
through. Our constellations can be more powerful when we invite everyone in
the circle, including ourselves to be part of the healing process. When we
invite our clients and ourselves to be present with our forces and our
weakness in order to enlarge the healing field in which everyone
participates with his own capacities the field is more supportive and more
healing can be done in the same time. The advantage of this method is that
there is more energy and less fatigue. One constellation follows the other
without an interruption in the field. The disadvantage of this method is
that it becomes less clear who receives what at which moment.
At a certain moment I asked to help the Maori elderly. I didn’t receive an
answer. Some moments later my colleague felt the energy of a lotus flower
to give to the elderly.
In our Western society we like to have control. Control falls away when
the enlarged field is working.
For 2014, I wish you all many moments of healing, including being a healer
and being healed.
