Hello Maria,
In the past I have had the opportnity to experience astrological
constellation. Here the different star signs were set up in marked
floor areas with drawn boundaries. Each participant was invited to
step into the different signs and experience the energy of that
astrological sector. Stepping from one sign or aspect to another
revealed many differences and contrasts on an inner level of
recognition and understanding. I have also done this in trainings
to explore the different chakras with transformative effects. It is
the introduction of the idea of "representation" that seems to have
the greatest effect here. Simply setting up identified areas for
physical exploration and experimentation of certain types of energy
sectors seems to work. The participants just need to focus
awareness, receive, and accept what the field, in which they
stand, reveals. Constellation is always a representation of
something hidden. Encouraging participants in the art
of representation, being, chanelling or becoming, is always helpful
here. For example constellations are about:
1. Experiencing the effect of a situation first, ie: effect first.
The environment is what creates the effect.
2. Allowing oneself to represent totally and fully within the
environment, setting or constellation ie: agreeing to the effect and
allowing full movement.
3. Taking time after the immediate effect to reflect and allow an
unfolding of new insight and knowledge...ie: to understand the causes.
Educational institutes are conditioned to utilize learning with left
brain patterning that utilizes "cause and effect" first.....or "I
know therefore I act." Constellations are effect first.....I
act.....then I know......... and the causes unfold by themselves.
Any education that supports this as a key to transformation is
helpful.
Kind regards
Sadhana

Sheila, thank you for reminding us of the very important point that
it is not up to the facilitator to know what is "good" in the
context of the client's healing.
My stance - insofar as I have words for it - is that as facilitator
I am in a position to notice patterns which may be invisible to a
person who is in the midst of them and I have tools which can loosen
those patterns and provide more opportunity for those patterns to
untangle themselves. I do believe that such loosening, such
untangling, always tends toward healing - but I don't have the
knowledge to know how that healing will show up in a person's life.
So as facilitator I am paying attention with all my senses to
patterns and especially to where there is tension or ease in those
patterns - and to decrease tension and increase ease where I can.
(To "facilitate" actually means to "ease.") But I do my best to let
go of my own opinions about what would be a "good outcome" for the
client. That's not my job - and when I get caught up in my own
opinions of what is "good," I am likely to be less capable of
decreasing tension and allowing for more ease for the client.

the definition of "good". I actually have no idea what is "good" for
Jack, et al.,
This is such an interesting topic. For me the distinction involves
a client. Western medicine tends to overshadow the definition for
many people in the western world, and in that paradigm "good" is an
absence of symptoms. I have used alternative medicine all my life
and am quite accustomed to the "aggravation" that often comes when a
healing process is activated and one is on the way to a cure.

some knowledge about how to use it. I'm happy to share this tool
All I do know is that I come to the interaction with a tool and
with those who are in the process of looking for something in their
life. As Stephan Hausner and others have said, "all healing is self
healing." If I can assist in activating a client's ability to self
heal with the tool that I enjoy using, I'm happy to do so. Which
direction that healing takes them is not my business; I have no idea
what their path is. I don't define the outcome as either "good" or
"bad". Sometimes I feel disappointed in myself, or have come up
against my own limitations or in some other way my ego intrudes, but
I have not felt the need to judge an outcome experienced by the
client. Even on the few occasions when a client has gotten very
angry with me. I use such events to learn from, and do examine my
part, but try not to take this personally. As observers, myself and
my colleagues have often seen outcomes that we might judge as
negative only to find out that there was immediate improvement in a
client's symptoms thereafter. So I leave the outcome up the the soul
of the client, and I keep watch on my soul, what I am learning
through these interactions with the field, and where I am going on
my own path.
since I began offering workshops. Aside from an earlybird discount
On another topic, I have charged one price for all participants
open to all. Personally I am even peaved when attending a workshop
where a reduced price is offered to a couple who can have twice or
more the income I have! And I don't offer "sliding scale" either. To
me, it is as if one is saying "here is my fee but feel free to pay
me less." There are times when someone cannot pay my fee, and I
leave it to them to initiate this discussion with me. When they do,
my answer is always the same, "Pay me what you feel you can pay."
Often they respond by asking if they can pay in two or three
payments some weeks or months apart, and end up paying the full fee
over time. Sometimes they pay less than my fee, but this is actually
quite rare. I feel OK with what ever they decide, and leave the
decision in their hands. All relationships require give and take and
my job is always to maintain a balance, else this interferes with
the integrity of the relationship.
