Leslie,
the best reference would be Insa Sparrer's book Miracle, Solution and
System. It is unfortunately a very dense book and I read it several times
before getting anywhere. Still, I'd take a look at the transcript at pp 268
et seq, where the miracle is entangled with the birth mother.
Theoretically, this maps to the notion of working at several levels
described in early chapters.
all the best

HI Heiki,
Do you have a specific book or weblink that outlines these principles?
One thing I have observed is that the Orders of Love vary slightly from
system type to system type. For instance, as has been long observed, we
can’t blithely apply the Orders of Love for families to organizations
(belonging, in particular, works differently in both). So, I would be
intrigued to see something in the context of Structural Constellations that
articulates overarching principles. Thanks so much.

Fantastic writeup! I'd say any element may be entangled, including goals,
values etc. Structural constellations have excellent theory on this and
describe this principle explicitly.
All the best

Hi everyone,
I wanted to report on some experiments with “Resource-Rich Fields” in
Constellations, that have led to ways to deepen and expand the
Constellations process even more fully.
(sorry if this is hard to read, Yahoo Mail was not cooperating well,
lots of spaces in this post.....)
In July, I described an expanded framing of the Constellations process.
Here is a brief summary in red- more details available at Group
Collective Resourcing
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iBoht5onk0GXovvTmM_2IJH76p2bhgnLaQVlGN1ti3Q>
1) A *figure-ground reversal of the intention of the constellation,
and of who the 'client' was. **The client is "Evolution"* (The Emerging
Future), and the community gathers in service to that
Th*e intention of this process was to equally serve the embodiment and
access to resources for the community *- in particular, for the
representatives. *The experience of representatives IS the intended
product *of the constellation, as much as the experience of the “client”
2) *We acknowledge and place representatives for transpersonal and
archetypal resources*
We put in LOTS of resources. These are “Resource-Rich fields” that are
being setting up, using 4-7 resources, inspired by this image that Beth
Tener has drawn, titled The Big Picture
http://www.serviceoflife.info/socialalchemy/virtualcomposter.JPG
As a medical doctor, Resource-Rich Field reminds me of a stem cell
infusion, or an injection of Platelet-Rich Plasma into an injured muscle or
joint to speed healing.
3) *Representatives are encouraged to* *open to and embody the
energies that are running through them in representation *and keep those
channels open after the Constellation is ove*r.*
The representatives for Resources were encouraged to tune and feel what
was right for them, reminding them that *they did not need to release
their representation, but could invite it to continue to dwell and deepen
in them, even after the constellation was over.*
We tried this a few more times during a two day experimental gathering in
New York City in October.
A few of these resource-rich constellations went as before - lovely
experience for the client, and, several representatives had powerful
luminous experiences that they never had before, which now could serve an a
new resource for their life….
Two of these constellations did NOT go as planned.
I set up one resource-rich field - not using the image, but just the
client and three of her
resources, and the darn resources did not cooperate!
The client's Spirituality, turned out to be a fundamentalist dry,
left-brained knowing, without warmth or connection to her.We brought in
some
Another one of her resources was equally disappointing. It was just flat.
We brought in a few other resources, some masculine energy, two times.
Each time something good
began, and then the field would collapse, sometimes because of influence
of “resources”.
I was thrown by this, was not even aware of that dynamic until the very
end of the constellation, which I ended when it got stuck and stayed that
way.
I will say more about this after I describe another parallel experience.
The next evening, we
set up Beth Tener’s image, with 7 resources, exactly like I described in
the above link
http://www.serviceoflife.info/socialalchemy/virtualcomposter.JPG
I was again quite startled by what happened.
Of the three with the hearts in the center, only one was warm and loving.
One pulled away and said “I feel disconnected”.
The third said “I feel
betrayed by that second one. I cannot trust him”
Resourced Ancestors was a huge resource, and offered some profound
teachings that were new to me,
and I hope to share in the future with permission…
Earth was present.
But one of the resources just sat on the outside of the circle, nearly
lay down, depressed..
Looked almost like someone who had died…
Later on, a resource that felt to me like Feminine Empowerment got into a
conflict with Resourced Ancestors, and every time that happened, the
client’s symptom moved back into contact with the client.
This one ended up with a powerful and moving resolution, after I realized
that the Resourced Field was not resourced enough to do the work for the
facilitator, and to let go of my initial game plan.
The two not-so-resourced in the center began to acknowledge and relate to
each other, started to trust, but were not ‘cozy warm’ by the end
For a while after this, I was surprised, and then realized - “Duh,
Bruce, the Field will do what
it needs to, and show what it needs to.”
Just because I put in a resource, does NOT mean that it will behave as
one.
After some conversations with Alissa Fleet and Laure Porche about this,
I realized something else, which is actually why I am writing this post.
We often see *ancestors *as the ‘central factor’ in Constellation work.
We put in ‘other
resources’ to support the ancestors, to restore the flow of life and love.
I am realizing that we can re-frame this.
1-While Ancestors take the central stage in traditional Constellation
work, because they were completely missing from Western formulations, and
were needing to be included,
*ancestors are only one of MANY dimensions of resources. *
(Beth’s image makes this very clear. We often survive without much
ancestral support *because of*some
of these other resources)
2- *ANY Resource can contain an entanglement*
We put ancestors and family in the foreground in this work,
traditionally, and it *does *have huge power.
And, it is also the case that we can *also* have entanglements:
*-with Spirit because of family trauma, *
*-with Earth because of a natural disaster*
*-**with Land because of Forced Migration, *
*-with Guides because of some spiritual trauma, etc....*
*-or, because of cultural traumas*
These might cause us to close our access to these other resources, and we
lose out on their capacity to flow through us and into this world….
as a facilitator, I may take for granted that these are Resources, not
realizing that there may be trauma traces limiting access or flow….
3- I am assuming, because it is too early to state definitively from my
experience, that *ANY*
*dimension of resource can be worked with, through Constellations, to
untangle it, and allow/release a more full flow of life and love into our
being*
In the previous examples, had I realized this, I would have worked with
the Spirituality Resource, perhaps put in reps for different components of
it, culture, family, etc, to
help it disentangle.
In the second constellation, many of the resources spontaneously became
animated as the deep conflict between Resourced Ancestors and Feminine
empowerment/autonomy found a loving resolution. And, had I been aware of
this ‘resources can be entangled’, I believe I could have been more
efficient in this…
Ok. I will pause here, excitedly, happy to share this with you, and
hoping that this is of some value to you and your work
I see real value in doing some Constellation experiments around
“Healing our relationship with Spirit”
“Healing our relationship with Land and Earth”
“Healing our relationship with <any other source of joy, light,
nourishment that has been shut down out of trauma, or out of love and
loyalty>”
Looking forward to doing more experiments in this area. If you have done
some, please keep us posted. I will do the same.
More to say, but this is a lot for now…..
Take good care, and best wishes to you all,
