Exploring the Patterns in the Family Tree
Just a quick note for those of you looking for the Ancestral Echoes group proxy series. I held off the series this November in order to do a web upgrade. It was unavoidable. The Series will be held in mid January instead as well as the usual June/July series. There will be some new additions to the topics and format. Prior to Series we’ll be working on a special project as a group – The family tree exercise. More about that in an upcoming post this week.
Taken together both series offer an opportunity to explore a range of ancestral patterns lurking in our psyche that block our contentment, fulfillment and happiness. I will be writing about the various topics at this blog in the weeks to come and would welcome your questions about family systems healing work that you would like me to address in these posts.
Have any of you experienced a Family Constellation group session? What was your experience?
With light and love
Carolyn
Here are the upcoming topics
SERIES 1 – January 17th, 24th, & 31st 2011 (Store link)
Session 1: Health Patterns related to our ancestors – Our health issues may be related to similar diseases or symptoms experienced by our ancestors. Unconsciously we may be preserving someone’s place in the family, preserving a family loyalty or assuming a burden that is not ours through carrying the pattern of ill health.
Session 2: Clearing Financial Boundaries Set by Our Ancestors – In the book “Wire for Wealth” (affiliate link) psychologist Brad and Ted Klontz confirm how we create an invisible bar for having money earning just enough money to never go beyond the highest or lowest levels of the bar. Unconsciously we maintain a family script to remain in the financial neighborhood defined by our clan. We maintain certain habits or ‘scripts’ as described in the book, to loose money if we make to much or make money if we fall beyond a certain point. We’ll l repattern our collective family stories, values and beliefs about money that underlie our current experience of money.
Session 3: Balanced Relationship Patterns – In this session we’ll clear the patterns of imbalance created by family patterns where unresolved violence has occurred and there are both victims and perpetrators perpetuating the cycle. We’ll also look at the inner conflicts we carry that keep us loyal to our system in non-coherent ways and resonate with permission from our ancestors to establish a new way of relating that gives us inner freedom and joy.
SERIES 2 – June 22, 29 & July 6 2011 (Store link)
Session 1: Clearing Systemic Loyalties and Struggles for Power - Many of our deeper recurring patterns are anchored in systemic loyalties that cause us to consciously or unconsciously identify with an ancestral member who was excluded, or in someway suffered a difficult fate. Unconsciously we are driven to repeat their fate or take their place so that they belong to the family once more or do not suffer as much. We may not enjoy our success in life if what we have achieved is more than the ancestor we are identified with. The unconscious nature of this pattern can be deeply frustrating.
Clearing our struggles for power will allow us to enjoy more balance in our relationships and feel confident and empowered. We’ll clear non-coherent patterns related to control issues, denial, communication and setting limits. Watch the dynamics change in your relationships as you let go of control and ask clearly for what you want.
Session 2: Balanced Relationship Patterns – In this session we’ll clear the patterns of imbalance in giving and receiving, masculine and feminine energy as well as ‘Taking Our Parents’ so that we resonate with relationships that are balanced and respectful
Session 3: Resonating with Wealth Consciousness and Creating a Financial Legacy – whether its teaching your children by example, building sufficient reserves to support the family beyond our own life or having the resources to help other people, we need to be free of the scripts that keep us
