“The way love moves you is your true destiny.” David Deida
Our yearning to connect and belong is primal. This force that pushes and pulls us towards another or others is love. Disruptions in the flow of love, either through trauma or loss, carried across generations, creates disturbances that often lead to illness, emotional distress, addictions, broken relationships, and likely, cultural and societal breakdowns. In our attempt to heal, and to find love, we often replay the past creating more pain and suffering. One core concept of Family Constellations is to see where the flow of love is blocked and to find the movements necessary to open the heart and to reconnect with those we love past and present. The heart’s need to pick up the thread of connection is paramount and sets us on a path to healing.
What is your deepest longing? Are you able to find passion, true love, and your true calling, or are you paralysed by fear? Does the fear belong to you and your childhood, or are you carrying something from your family history?
What would happen if you opened your heart and faced the fear? How would your life be different if you lived from the heart, giving and receiving love?
Through rituals and family constellations we will:
· Work to open our hearts and face our fears
· Find clarity and the freedom to move into a larger personal space,
· Increase the joy, humor and acceptance in our work and life
· Discover how to unblock the primal energy flows through all of us and,
· Make deeper connections to those we love, past and present.
