Moreno would say that there are multiple fields that emerge and that choosing
the proto agonist, the greatest sufferer is key to the process. One of the
limitations of the classic hellinger work
is that the followers can not see the intensity of the fields colors and as
such a less warmed up protagonist is chosen. To remedy this I would suggest
classic psychodramatic warm up techniques prior to the work of hellinger. He
did not need to do what most of us need to do as facilitators.
This might be an interesting new thread.Joseph pirone drjmpirone@xxxxxx

Dear Chuck and All,
Thank you for being open to discuss this significant aspect of the 'classic"
constellation approach. You are highlighting the very challenge that besets
many constellations.
"I've had representatives be so overwhelmed by their own family memories that
they could not report on the state of the person they were representing, but
spoke about their own mother, for example. At this point I have no
hesitation to respectfully replace them with another participant."
You see at that point the representative whose energies has been triggered
is essentially dismissed. The constellation does not turn its focus where the
energy is manifesting but follows a somewhat rigid, predetermined, doctrinal
course.
This rigidity bothers me. We may say that we respectfully replace the
representative, but is this truly respectful? More importantly is this really
helpful to the field? At this point are we not treating the representative as
a second class participant, reinforcing some old paradigm? Are we not second
guessing the outcome and disallowing the field to unfold?
Best wishes to all,
Robert

I have great respect for this group and really appreciate the opportunity
to share ideas and perspectives. When we give representatives guidance we
tell them some simple things: that's there's nothing for them to do or think
about, but be open, relax and breathe; that they may feel nothing, which is
fine; and we lead them in some silent statements to themselves that they are
not [their name], that they are [the person they are representing], and that
they are in service to the healing of the client and the client's family. As
facilitators we hold that as the highest intention for the constellation-
that everyone is serving the client and the healing of that particular family
system.
If a representative begins to feel too much of their own unresolved
energies, they will be less available to be open to the sensations,
impressions and most importantly the energies of the family member. It takes
a real practice of multi-dimensional awareness to hold the energies of who
you're representing, not lose your self in the representation, and remember
that you're serving the needs of the client and the process of the
constellation. I've had representatives be so overwhelmed by their own
family memories that they could not report on the state of the person they
were representing, but spoke about their own mother, for example. At this
point I have no hesitation to respectfully replace them with another
participant.
