Dear all.
I have been thinking about direction today, the direction
representatives face at the end of constellations. And linked to this
is comments I heard Bert Hellinger say last year that all 'movements
of the soul' are a movement towards physical death, and if I
understand him correctly, he has moved away from those types of
constellations.
So if someone faces their ancestors at the end of a constellation how
does that differ from them having their ancestors at their back and
them looking to the future?
I remember attending many Constellations in Australia facilitated by
Patrick Kavanagh. He would often end constellations with the client
kneeling on the ground with their parents supporting them from behind,
with the client looking forward, supposedly to their future. Is
looking to the future still a 'movement of the soul'?
There is much talk about constellations being future orientated and
solution focussed, miracle questions etc, so if a constallation ends
looking at the past does that matter?
Even though there are notions of the shape of constellations having
time running through them, like with Essen and Blumenstein's thinking
and others, I have always thought that the ancestors are available
now, so they are in the present.
Cheng Lap Fung also wrote about past and future orientations in the
last edition of the Knowing Field, it seems quite close to some of the
work I have seen Albrecht Mahr do about 'taking up your future' in a
space he constructs on the floor of the Constellation space.
Of course we can't force constellations to finish a certain way and we
would not always know what a representative or client is looking at,
or the direction they face. We might have a good sense though.
Any thoughts?
