Orin,
Sorry--I don't know why the formatting of my last post got messed up.
Somehow all the paragraphs disappeared and everything ran together.
Still the information is there.
Also I overlooked your question about demonstration rituals. In
Oschman's book (Energy Medicine: the Scientific Basis. Edinburgh:
Churchill Livingstone, 2000), on pp. 245-248, in a section entitled
"Demonstrating the Flow of Energy in Groups," he describes the
techniques he uses to do this. Many of them are surprisingly (or
perhaps not surprisingly) similar to things done in constellation
workshops, including a train of people with hands on the backs of
shoulders of the one in front of them--which looks like a kind of
circular ancestral chain. He doesn't understand the people as
"ancestors." Still I found it fascinating that Oschman, who is an
obvious scientist, came independently to many of the same things we do.
You might be able to simply adopt what he does for a classroom
demonstration. What seems to "power up" the group depends usually on
three things: focused attention, genuinely shared intention, and at
least some level of emotional meaning or urgency. People who could
care less, or are actively hostile to experiencing anything unusual--
will often, though not always, weaken the field.
Best,
Michael

What is The Constellation Call?

Hello Constellation Talk.
I'm new to constellation work and am currently attending a facilitator
training with Franchesca Mason Boring in Seattle USA. The presence
of the
field greatly interests me, and I'd like to know more about it and
what
people know about it, as well as other names that people who are not
well
versed in new age terminology might call it. If anyone has any book
references or a deeper understanding of what inhibits and what
enhances the
presence and the flow of the field I'd like to hear about it. I've
heard it
connected to terms like Zero point field and morphogenic field. If
you have
specifics on scientific experiments that are able to measure the
field I'd
love to know about them too.
Also, Constellation Work is part of my College *Independent Learning
Contract* at the Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington. I
want to
demonstrate the power of the field to my class at the end of the
semester.
Does any one know any simple constellation exercises that can
demonstrate
the presence of the field to the skeptic, and show how it can help a
willing
representative 'know' things that are true.
Thanks,
Orin Hardy
