dear all,
this reply from otteline amazed me and i'm also curious that no-one else
has picked it up and commented on it.
i find it difficult to countenance that doing this work - in which one is
essentially a servant of the orders of love themselves - would lead to any
increase in major illnesses or diseases as she seems to be, at least anecdotally,
suggesting. it would go against any intuitive understanding of the orders
of love being essentailly benign and in the service of love itself, not creating
pain either in those it serves or in those that serve it.
i would say any percieved increase in disease states in those that practitioner
it would be more likely due to the stress of their practice upon themselves
rather than be to do with the nature of the work itself. and although i haven't
run any myself yet to compare, my impression is that this work is LESS stressful
per se than many other types of group work, once the facilitator surrenders
to something larger than themselves.
i would be interested in other's comments on this
happy easter

At the workshop Chris and I ran recently a woman who was (not visibly) pregnant was chosen as a representative. During the constellation as often happens, she experienced some distressing sensations. Although these were ameliorated later in the constellation the question was asked of us as to whether it is appropriate for pregnant woman to be representatives. I had not heard any comments in workshops I've attended, so sought Judith Hemmings and Otteline Lamet and Peter van Ziulekom's advice. I thank them for their replies and post them here for others to consider. Otteline and Peter's response was more detailed: It is an interesting question you brought up.
Untill now we haven't given it much thought as we haven't met this
issue yet. At least this is what we think. I noticed in myself
(Otteline) lately, since Peter has this eyeproblem and need all his
energy to get healed, that I felt very reluctant the few moments he was
asked to be a representative in a constellation in our intervisiongroup
and educational-groups.. My feeling was: "No strange energies in your
body now. You never know on forehand what mess you are getting into".
We also hear from many people who are often working with "the orders of
love" , that they seem to have more serious deseases. Now, one can
speculate about the what and how of the relationship between the two,
but the work certainly does something to someone over a shorter or
longer period of time. And we do not know whether this is good or bad.
So, back to your question about a pregnant woman: would you like to
have your baby experience all these influences? I don't think I would.
At least I would be very specific in which representative place to
take and which one to turn down. And again, you never know on forehand
into what energies you will have to take part.
