Thank you for this Anni. I don't think I can get buy in from teachers to
participate. I simply have a hunch(besides the conviction that
constellations will reveal lots of 'suppressed' patterns. I would like to
assist the learners (from a space of humility) but feel scared of the
"complex" issues, and am asking myself how may I get past this 'frozen'
state?
The main questions playing out at the back of my mind that may be part of
my not knowing what to do are: how do I identify the 'entanglements', what
healing sentences do I use? Is there anyone with an idea of what approach
to take on doing constellations on this! I also have a desire to just do it
and learn from the filed and this is one approaching.
I appreciate your feedback

The specifics of a particular area of study may well be related to an
ancestral connection to that area. In 1970-71, I was involved in a study on
success of students in our community. The study was part of a PhD thesis
for an Education professor in my alma mater, the University of Calgary. I
was part of the community group that he studied. Later, I tabulated the
results of his research. In 1971 this was still done manually so it was my
summer employment.
The study revealed a direct correlation between success and family values.
The ancestral values of the family had the biggest impact on success. I
was at that time very surprised to see an overwhelming number of families
who attached no value to academics. Of course, the children were loyal to
these unseen values and success was not an option for these children.
I hope to work in schools this coming year to follow up on the theme of
student success and teacher awareness. One must of course look to the
family. But one thing that also emerges is the unseen ability of the
teacher to be unconsciously aware of the children's ancestral connection.
In seeing the child, there is an innate ability to see the ancestral family
connection to the field of study. I believe if we can bring teachers to a
greater awareness of their own unconscious loyalties to the integrity of
the family system, we can begin to shift the way in which the child is
"allowed" by his or her own family system to learn.
These are complex issues. My suggestion is to include the family systems
with the teacher to see if the teacher is able to find the thread of
success from the ancestors that allows the children the freedom to thrive.
Yours, Anni Mukkala-Stinn
