Fascinating thread. I have been taught to downplay my sensitivity and only
follow the client in individual work. When I started to learn
Constellations, I expected something like an energy work, was promptly told
it is a form of psychotherapy. So I learnt about the therapeutic
relationship, intake interviews and everything I considered boring (but
found to be interesting after all).
And now back to this again!
I have to say though that in individual work it makes sense to not put much
in by way of my own perception. Whenever individual work has not gone so
well, I have discovered it was because I got impatient and tried to steer
the client to see what I was seeing. At least with in group work
representatives they would more often than not validate my hallucinations :)
all the best

Hello everybody, thank you for the wonderful answers and suggestions.
Very nice.
Wonderful to hear you graduated at B.B.S.H., Chuck, It gives us such a
depth knowledge on the field…you are absolutely right about the interaction
with the energy of the ancestral fields, the clients, etc.
Thank you everybody !
To me it is an amazing adventure every time I have a client. I will try
this African drumming music before I have anyone.

Hi Zaquie and others, and thanks for the question. I have come to value
the individual tabletop sessions and am impressed by how deeply people are
able to move using figurines and crystals. I also have done numerous
sessions this way on Skype with the client choosing their own objects and
pointing their camera at the field once we start the setup, and was
surprised by how powerful was our connection to each other and to the field.
Like you Zaquie I also studied at Barbara Brennan’s school and learned how
to meet the client where they are and modulate my energy field to resonate
with them, as well as find an opening for connection through their
characterology structure and primary modifiers (mental, emotional, or
spiritual) which is similar to what you are saying, Elmar. It’s an
excellent point you raise. We were taught by Peter and Jamy Faust in our
trainings that we enter the session and begin on the mental level- with
what we know, which has taken us this far in life but no further. The
recounting of the facts leads to choosing who should be in the
constellation and usually gives a direction where to look for the origin of
the issue. The first real shift in the client, if it’s available is to
drop to the emotional level, which is made more likely through contact with
the family and ancestral field. Sometimes it takes time. Eventually, if
the client is ready, then the deepest movement to the soul level, where our
agreements lie, may take place. Here it’s more quiet and spacious, and few
words are needed. As facilitator it’s good to move in resonance with the
client and follow as they are able to go from one level to another. I find
my approach, when they come to resistance, is one of inviting them to what
the next movement might be for their healing, and respecting what they are
ready for on a given day.
There are so many frequencies and dimensions interacting in the process-
my personal energy and ancestral fields, the clients personal energy and
ancestral fields, how well the ancestors have been honored and invited to
the work at hand, the different tribal/national fields the client and I may
have, the universal soul field of humanity- that I attempt to, as best as
possible, empty myself of expectation before a session and be as present as
I can with the client while allowing maximum space for possibility. Like
you say, some days I’m feeling better or worse. I also find my more than
20 years playing West African drum music has given me the skill to hold
many rhythmic streams of consciousness simultaneously and supports my
abilities to better hold awareness of the many fields present in a
constellation.
