Hi all,
I have a question. It feels somehow a bit vulnerable to share, but it is
important to me, as I want the work to be inclusive for all...
The issue:
I've had three people (of the many I see) in the last year who did not get
the concept of constellations while doing it at an event of mine.
Initial thoughts:
Some initial observations about the people who did not seem to grasp the
intensity of the work that (almost) everyone experiences:
(1) they did not feel the "role/place"-representation; they could not
imagine someone else to represent their XYZ ["Stand-ins cannot possibly be
my XYZ, right?"]
(2) they were not able to look beyond the "here and now" and link their
pasts with the image that unfolds ["I don't get why stand-in XYZ does old
behavior, it's different now!"]
(3) they were all not in touch with their body, rather living from their
head or living out scripts from others or from society but in no way from
their core selves and identity,
(4) they seemed new to awareness practices like constellations, and perhaps
even unwilling to let go of control and unable to "look at" themselves from
a third perspective,
(5) they seemed unknowingly living with re-traumatizing defense and
survival mechanisms; caught in an eternal split, not knowing who they are
and what they/others do.
So what?
So far I've found our constellations practice very connecting across many
different kinds of people, yet, this seems to be "a thing" where I either
get with my feet on the ground with regards to the limits of
constellations, and need to accept it's not for all of us at just
anytime...or...what? Anybody else had similar experiences so far?
It seems to me an important topic as I so wish this work to be inclusive
for everyone, and these very rare cases intrigue me...
Thanks for sharing any insights / advice / opinions / similar experiences!
Would love to hear from fellow colleagues.
Love, peace, and happiness,
Oscar
