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)?
