When you are at peace with your parents, there are two powerful openings that occur in your life.  First, you\u2019re able to look at them and accept them just as they are, without judgment, and without wishing they were or had acted any differently.  This allows for you to be receptive to the full power of the life force that they passed on to you, with all the conditions to which your soul agreed in order for you to have your life.  You can experience all the strength that comes through your lineage without any dilution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, when you\u2019re free from any entanglements with your parents\u2019 fates and the choices they made in their marriage and in the ways they parented you, you no longer have to use any of your energy in trying to change anything about them or any of the ways that they have acted in life- either toward each other or toward you.\u00a0 You respect the fates that their souls have agreed to work with in this lifetime, and can begin to eradicate any hidden sense you might carry that you know better than they do.\u00a0 This ultimately liberates you to be more completely present to the actual partner that you choose to be with, and not see your beloved with any of the lenses through which you viewed your parents.\u00a0 If there are unresolved concerns with either of your parents, you will be tempted to unconsciously work out these inner dramas with the person you draw closest to, and become most vulnerable to, as an adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is this process ever completed?  Not a chance!  As long as we\u2019re in a body, we\u2019ll be influenced by the energetic patterns that were formed with the first people we knew in life- our parents.  Those same patterns from childhood and youth are reactivated when our energy fields come close to and interact with our parents\u2019 fields.  A quote attributed many places to the spiritual leader Ram Dass  wisely cautions, \u201cIf you think you\u2019re enlightened, go spend a week with your family.\u201d  You\u2019ll have many opportunities to discover just how much work remains for you to reach a peaceful acceptance of your parents, siblings and other family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A constellation is a powerful exploration of the living energy field of your family\u2019s soul.  Because it\u2019s done with representatives, rather than your actual family members, it becomes a safer place to consciously experience the hidden dynamics and unresolved issues you agreed to take on through your first birth into life.  The second, and what may be considered the more difficult, birth is out of the limiting energetics of the family story, and into the gifts and strengths you came to life to share with the world as your purpose for being here.  If it was easy, everyone would have already reached this level.  The healing can only begin once the deep wounds are opened and cleaned.  If you take one quick look at the news, you can see the overwhelming need for all of us to help each other to wade into the deeper waters of the unconscious, and begin reweaving the threads of healthy and healing communities that will be necessary to restore the overheated atmospheres of nature and society.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
