-Yes Sneh,
How beautiful and benevolent to include this opposite in dialogue.
Dialogue longs to be whole also.
Please
Thankyou

Hi everybody,
I have been reading, thinking, felling lately without much energy to
write anything much. Just wanted to let you all know, I am grateful
to read all the posts and am very busy getting healthy. (It takes a
lot more patience than I thought it would)
Just in short: Chris, I very much think of you and your wife and I am
so glad about the swift recovery. I also hope for you to find the
right friends to be with you.
Hanya, your words were touching, and after just having completed last
summer a training in Somatic Experiencing I believe it might be
helpful for you to look into this aria of work. Not just for you, but
for all of us constellation facilitators who sometimes get close to
overwhelm, when lots of heavy themes have come our way, (war,
concentration camps, horrible accidents ect.). I once got great help
from Peter Levine (book: trauma healing, waking the tiger) in a
seminar on constellation work and trauma. I had the problem that I
was so caught up in the jewish- german trauma, that I even felt
guilty when I had anger at my husband who happens to be jewish (I am
german). Peter gave me the the following image: when the theme of
german-jewish trauma has come up many times in your constellations
(which it did), than the veil, the membrane that is between you and
other beings destiny has gotten thin places, raptures, holes.
This picture worked by itself on me. I started at once to see in my
inner mind myself going about to close the holes with needles and
threats, embroider flowers over them, in short: give new energy to
the veil.
It worked well, for work and for my private life.
Of course I have no idea what picture of mending your veil or
membrane will work for you...as each one of us have their own
creative ways to find the right way to this, mine certainly was
helped by a three generation line of tailors (my mother, grandmother
and great -grandmother).
PS: I have used this picture several times with trainees and
colleges, it never failed to help strenghten the boundaries.
Anne: I very much admire your speaking out about your unease with
some of Berts ways to work, specifically as you consider yourself
relatively new to the work. And even though I do not believe, that
spiritual discernment can be shown only through openness to dialogue
and loving kindness, I just want you to know that I 8a rlative
oldtimer) have the same "glitches", mostly always had, with some of
his ways how to treat the people who go to work with him, and I
simply take out of his work what I find brilliant and recline where I
cannot follow. It helped me good in finding my own stile, not being
hooked too much on his, and yet feeling grateful for what he brought
into the world.
And Martin, thank you for sharing, and letting yourself be lead in
more and more questions! And Sadhana, as I understand it, Buddha's
"neither this ...not that" points to the opposite of dialogue, rather
to what is way above or beyond it.
Good work to all of you, Sneh
