Dear Stephen and All,
Lovely to read these sharings of late and enjoy the food for thought and warming
effect on each other. Warmth is definately good for healing painful backs!
Stephen when you say you are reflecting upon "pain or serious illness as a
byproduct of the work," I begin to wonder if you think the work is something
seperate from ordinary living? "Reflecting upon it" is not reflecting it and
this is the problem. "Reflecting upon" comes first and the ability to be a
mirror and reflect comes second. One leads to the other, in a certain order.
What happens during reflection?
In the outer world the real or true object discovers itself by looking into the
mirror. It is dependent upon the mirror to see itself. The unreal (false image)
reflects the real, the false reflects the true. Relationships function like this
via objectivity (cause and effect.) However in the inner world the order is the
other way round. That is, the real reflects the unreal, the true reflects the
false via subjectivity (effects only.) Reflecting upon is simply seeing,
reflection itself is the act, consequence or effect of seeing and taking that
which we see fully, wholly and souly. Seeing is as Sheila aptly describes, the
simple process of paying attention to or becoming aware of. ......this changes
something. The more we see the more we are challenged to take in.......to
somatize....to ground in the body. The movement is downward and inward. How
much is changed is dependent upon our ability to take fully or STAND, that which
has been given or revealed to us. Sometimes these journeys inward to the
core are very painful journeys as we recollect and relinquish and let go of our
false images. However we are always refreshed, new, changed and more full of
light when the movement outward and upward takes us forward to the next
mysterious moment. Luminousity happens this way.

Kind regards Sadhana.

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
