Stephan,
I'm sorry to hear of your injury and pain and glad that you are on the mend.
This topic is one that I have been interested in for the past several years.
There are many examples of injury, illness and death within the community of
constellation facilitators. Whether there is a higher percentage of these
issues within this group than within the general population, I don't know -
maybe the statiticians among us could help with that. What interests me is this
idea that certain rituals can change the course of these events in a "positive"
way, and perhaps the absence of such rituals can have a "negative" effect, or
allow "negative" energy to take hold some how ("positive" being what we think
we want and "negative" being what we think we don't want?). I wonder, how can
we know this? It seems intuitively right to believe that the work must be done
with humility and respect - these are types of "rituals", one could say. And
yes, I believe humility and respect have an impact. But can we avoid illness,
injury and death with them? I've certainly fallen ill at times, I've injured
myself, and one day, sooner or later, I'll die. Can rituals affect these events
and their timelines? Bert often talks about not interfering in someone's fate.
How does that fit in here?
Lots of food for thought and conversation here. I'm eager to follow this thread
and hear what others think, and I wish you a speedy recovery, Stephan. (If I
pray for you and you get better, did my prayer work??!?!?)
all the best, sheila

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] Health Issues for Facilitators
Dearest Colleagues and Friends,
I have recently been sidelined with what in the chiropractic world they call
a subluxation of two vertebrae in my back. Never in my life have I
experienced such intense and prolonged pain. Fortunately, progress is being
made with the guidance of practitioners of several modalities and the pain
is considerably lessened. As illness or pain are always times for
reflection for me, I have been wondering if any of you have experienced
severe pain or a serious illness as a by product of the work. Here in Peru
recently there has been an "outbreak" of severe maladies either experienced
by the facilitator or by someone in their immediate family. This has had me
thinking about the fact that in our work we are exposed to much negative
energy and to some degree or another we are absorbing varying degrees of it.
One of the healers I have been working with raised this issue with me and it
of course had me reflect on it.
I would be interested in your thoughts as well as any practices that you
might have following your facilitations for "cleansing" yourselves.
Fondly,
Stephen
