Re-Weaving the Family Myth
A Family Constellation Experience

All members of a family system are deeply connected over many generations. This bond springs from a love that provides strength and a sense of belonging. The bond connects us to a family conscience that wants us to recognize all members of our family, including those who have been outcast, dishonored, or forgotten.
Through a subconsious process, atonement for ancestral misfortunes can take place in one’s life. Ancestral suffering can emerge also in your life and manifests itself in ways like illness and destructive relationship patterns. For introductory writings about this work, click at this reading list, or you can also listen here to an interview by Debbie Josendale, publisher of the Bay Area Women's Journal, on the topic Systemic Family Constellations: Healing Ourselves by Healing Our Past, broadcasted on February 22, 2011.

In your family system, did anyone:
• Die during childbirth or have a stillborn child?
• Have an abortion or miscarriage?
• Have an illegitimate child?
• Abandon a child or give it up for adoption?
• Experience early separation from his or her mother?
• Experience parental– or sibling death at a young age?
• Experience abuse?
• Suffer from addiction or eating disorder?
• Have a physical or mental impairment?
• Attempt or commit suicide?
• Commit a crime or war crime?
• Survive or die in the Holocaust or other genocide?
• Suffer from significant loss of wealth or an unjust inheritance?
• Emigrate to another country?

Before signing-up for a constellation, I recommend to sign-up for one day as “representative” and get a first-hand exposure to the dynamics that unfold in ancestral lineage interactivity. Come with a friend or by yourself -- we work in a small-group setting of approximately twelve participants. This experience will make you aware of additional avenues to solve issues in your personal life, and you may want to consider exploring such solutions in a personal constellation at a later workshop. In an earlier issue of Spirituality & Health, Lousie Danielle Palmer has written a helpful summary of her experience with family constellation work (view online, save or print as pdf file).
