Most people’s lives teem with circumstances competing for one’s attention, focus, energy and time. The demands themselves are but the color, reverberation, texture and dance of a life: a being who is in relationship with one’s environment. What makes circumstances compelling or repellent arises from one’s ability or inability to freely respond in a manner of one’s choosing, to move with ease with everything inside and outside of oneself.

In the grander scheme of things, all life intends harmony over cacophony, resplendence over the hideous, elegance and vital flow over stasis and inertness, and poetics over a vapid and banal prosaic existence. The momentum of human biography fosters within each of us a separation from life’s ease and beauty. This notwithstanding, there persists within each human heart a longing for one’s unique sacred perception, regal experience, individual honest expression and the freedom issuing from one’s wholeness.

It is from this indefatigable yearning, issuing from a human soul, is born the impetus fostering one’s continual unfolding: one’s growth, awakening and becoming. This is so whether one is conscious, aware or sleeping fast and unwittingly loyal and fixed to human pettiness. All Life is in a constant state of unprecedented expansion into uncharted waters of compassion, love and creativity.

How might one align with Life’s choreography? How might one follow Life’s lead, while concomitantly leading well the dance of one’s individual life? One way involves opening to the ever present, albeit little recognized, fields of universal intelligence and Wisdom in which all life exists. The unseen signals we receive in our televisions, telephones and radios are examples of the life-affirming fields of energy in which we live.

So too is the existence of other frequencies of energy interconnecting families, businesses, organizations, and other collectives and groups of people. These energies within human systems and their effects are rarely seen much less understood. Although much is understood about the use of electricity, no one understands how electricity works. In a similar way, little is understood about the life-affirming energy fields in which we live, yet, we may use and work within these fields for our benefit, for our unfoldment from which greater ease ensues.

Similarly, there are proper methods to approach and work with the energies of human systems. One such approach was brought to our postmodern world by the German Psychotherapist Bert Hellinger. His work is referred to with the following terminology: Hellinger Family Constellations; Movements of the Soul; and, Human Systems Constellations. Those who have learned Hellinger’s work have iterations and titles of their own.

I refer to my evolution of Hellinger’s work as: Fields of Grace®; the Wisdom Collaborative ™; and, the Leadership Collaborative ™. Briefly: when one desires to either change circumstances within their individual, family or business or work life - or - to change their responses to these circumstances, constellation methods offer uncommon and unimpeachable solutions directed at root causes.

Constellation processes operate in the rarely seen fields of Life. The process is systemic rather than psychological and operates in broader aspects of one’s humanity; aspects beyond the local understanding of the person. This work is done most often in a group setting. A heart felt issue is identified. Others within the group literally stand in as surrogates for others related to the issue. The people serving as representatives know little or nothing of the issue, person or circumstances involved. They take their cues from the field rather than from former understanding.

The process is facilitated by a trained person. The facilitator and the representatives are informed by way of the field of energy of the dynamics involved. Through the guidance of the energy field, the problem is identified and the pathway to reconciliation revealed. Through movements and healing statements impediments are cleared - strength, love and freedom is restored. The person desiring the change simply observes the process and is changed by doing so.

The reorganization within the person occurs at the level of the soul. The process functions beyond the psychology of the person - deeper spiritual aspects of the individual and group are at play. Facilitators understanding the process and the patterns of reconciliation, yet little, if any, is understood of how things actual evolve - like our limited understanding of electricity.

This process works for nearly everyone. Two things are required of the person for whom the constellation process is being set: 1) one must be open minded and hearted enough to acknowledge the reality of one’s own, or others’, previous experience. This requires courage, self-compassion and love. The second requirement is to consent to an unfolding reorganization of aspects of oneself (and system), which lie beyond one’s awareness: faith in something beyond what can be understood is required.

If there are changes you desire. If you long to live your own life instead of the one given you by life circumstance; if you desire awakening and becoming; if you want poetics in your life - engage this grand constellation process for opening to the life you want.
