Dear Thomas,
I'm in awe of your writings.
In four short paragraphs, you've elegantly condensed more essence on the
aspects of bowing from four different angles.
What an insight! How enlightened!
It does not matter that the writing is short. It only matters that the words
I read have lifted me up, have inspired my passion of this work.
To this I give my deep gratitude.
To this I bow to you,
Tommy Tran
It does not matter what Rumi sounds like. It only matters that the words i
read attributed to him have lifted me up, have given wings to my heart and
steadied a sometimes rocky walk through this life. To this I give my
gratitude..... for the zikar of the heart
For that I bow to you.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

Dear all,
In my view, the most important function of the simple bowing gesture in
constellations is for dividing the fields of the client and what or
whomever he or she is facing. It is empowering to step into one's own
field. It is useful to help clients discover how resourceful their own
field is. It is respectful to emphasize that we have different fields
than others. It is a primary engagement with life itself when one looks
up from the simple bow and sees from the perspective of one's own field.
It doesn't take but a second or two to simply let one's chin drop one
centimeter, and noticing one's exhale to turn the attention towards
oneself. In that moment, mind, body and spirit are in unison.
It is a critical skill for facilitators to know how to come out of their
trances by returning to their own present field. Likewise, it is
critical for facilitators to know how to teach clients how to come out
of their trances and back into presence through this simple gesture.
People tend to go into the field of anyone into whose eyes they look.
Children grow up in the field of their parents and often never learn how
to separate fields, have boundaries and become adults. Without
boundaries there is a lack of emotional clarity. Boundaries define
relationships and organize fields. They are critical on the biological,
psychological and spiritual levels.
Namaste,
Thomas Bryson
