Dear Chris and Dan and group,
Thank you so much for creating the space to address the convergence of
Buddhism and Family Constellations. I have often felt while watching Bert work,
that
he was so "in the flow" of love's energy that all was held, all was
acceptable, all was present, and I was in the presence of an "enlightened"
being.
I particularly appreciated th article on your website, Chris, on holding the
therapeutic "paradigms" in your practice. In my private practice as a
psychotherapist using energy-based therapies, thoughts of these seemingly
conflicting
approaches appear, and sometimes I can let them go, let myself go, and
surrender to trust that my client's process is unfolding as it should, if I can
just
stay out of the way! At these times, in holding this space, my client often
creates the intervention that their own soul requires.
I sometimes find it more more difficult to enter this space when facilitating
constellations but hope that this will come in time with more experience and
confidence.
It's wonderful to be able to share these ideas with you all, so far away! I
was just in Oaxaca with Bert and practitioners from many of the Americas. It's
inspiring to see what inroads the Latin Americans have made in their cultures
with this work. There were more than 600 practitioners there! One shared with
me that Family Court Judges in her country are using this work to resolve
custody disputes in divorce proceedings!
Anyway, I appreciate being on-line with all of you!
