I've mostly "lurked" here, but just had an experience and thought I'd like to
share. (I do group constellations rarely, and individual constellations
somewhat more regularly, when they seem called for in my normal astrological
practice. I've been doing this since 1998.)
So, I've got a story to tell followed by a question...
I just did a constellation for myself, preceded a few years ago by a vision in
which I "became" my grandfather, a young boy of about 5, weeping inconsolably
because his parents were at the graveyard. I'd long known his general history:
his father died, his uncle took the kids from the mother (German-Texan law),
the mother raised a $500/child bond to regain custody and promptly died
herself. I only recently learned he was 5 when his father died, so only
recently realized he effectively lost both parents when he was the age I
temporarily "embodied". (His mother died when he was 12, but I don't know the
year when she regained custody.)
I remember my own childhood until age 5 as happy, with me ridiculously
self-confident and optimistic, and remember that after that I became more
"serious"--melancholy even, but can't identify anything difficult that happened
in my life at that time. As an adult I've suffered periods of deep depression
for no apparent reason. So my personal constellation reconnected me with my
grandfather and seems not only to have rescued me from a bout of depression,
but has triggered some big inner shifts I am only beginning to see.
So here's the question. We see so often the effect of family history in
constellations... Do you think it's at all possible that "mirror neurons" work
across generations? According to my neurologist brother, these have a specific
location in the brain. If emotions are carried by parents into the offspring,
is it possible that mirror neurons are involved in multigenerational trauma (or
success, for that matter)?
