My brain is all over the place. I am always taking notes trying to remember details from workshops, appointments, clients, things I want to journal, or phrases that move me. I love my parents and fully embrace Life from them, but I know there are others out there who really struggle from physical and emotional abuse from their parents. It is one of the deepest deepest woundings I have seen. There is always a bond to those who brought us into life, but if it is difficult to feel into that, please know that something greater moved life forward into you. You are here now. I see you.

This is a post for my Reiki students in particular. I highly recommend reading this article for the deep wisdom and respect for Reiki from a Japanese perspective.

It offers a different perspective from what many of us in the West are accustomed to, where we can be so focused on reaching the next level, receiving the next attunement, or becoming a teacher. In the Usui-kai tradition, daily self-cultivation, meditation, the precepts, and hands-on practice are all part of one continuous path. It’s a beautiful reminder that Reiki is as much about BEING as the doing.

I recently wanted to look at my food intolerances in a Family Constellations exercise. The representative for “food intolerances” really did not want me to suffer, but also felt no connection to me personally. The facilitator felt that food intolerance was a distraction, but we didn’t have time to explore that piece further.

How often do we focus on the thing right in front of us without realizing there might be something else going on beneath the surface?

Drinking like your father, perhaps as a way of staying connected to him…

Developing a family illness and a deep need to belong…

Carrying your grandmother’s anger, perhaps because it once helped her survive…

We can be so unconscious of the ways we adapt, stay connected to our families, and learn to survive.

Sometimes we don’t see how those same patterns might be affecting the way we live today or that another way is possible.

We may be struggling something we experienced as children, something happening in our family that we sensed but couldn’t understand, or even something that happened long before we were born.

There is so much happening in our unconscious that we never consider. We can spend years trying to figure out a problem filled with stories and psychological thinking without knowing what else might be connected to it in the broader scope of an interconnected Life.

That’s one of the things I find so fascinating about Family Constellations. We get to look at the bigger picture. Many times what comes into view is very different from what we expected. (Like many times...many, many times...I have found myself so blind to what comes up.)

What if there’s more to your story than you realize?

Join me this Thursday for a Family Constellations Circle. You can come with an issue close to your heart, or come to support others as a representative or observer. There is healing for all.

Want to come meet me before diving in to family constellations? I will be at the Hippie Dippy Fair The Curious Heart Center|NJ Spiritual Center on Sunday, Oct 18. You tell me your story, what’s on your mind and I give you a systemic perspective (and maybe a small soul movement if there’s time). Last time I did this, I sold out! But, more importantly, I witnessed a wide range of human experiences and love.
