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.
peace,
