Coming Out of the Shadows of Unconsciousness

Good Morning,
It is another cold, yet beautiful, sunny day out this winter. Soon it will be Groundhog's day, and we all wish he won't see his shadow, for seeing his shadow means 6 more weeks of winter.

Yet, this is the time of year that is darker and colder, and a great time for reflection. We aren't all too active and busy, and have some time to take, if we choose, to reflect on ourselves, our lives, our consciences, etc. This work, the Family Constellation Work allows us a venue to see our shadows, and not to eradicate them, but to integrate them in a new way into our consciousness. We also learn to discern which conscience is truly ours, and which might be our parents, our family's, and maybe something even greater.

Come on out, and this next Friday, the 6th at 9:00 a.m., we have an opportunity to learn about this and to see our shadows a bit more clearly. The Morning coffee and constellations is at: First Congregational Church UCC, 6501 Wydown Blvd.

With good care,
Gail

re-coding our emotional inheritance through family mapping

Today's family mapping experience went very well.
Many times this work helps lead us back to our parents where deep healing can occur.

Try the experience of closing your eyes and emptying your mind of all images of your parents as you have known them, and then doing the same for yourself; emptying your mind of all images you have as yourself as you have known yourself.
Next, allow one image to surface. Don't work for it, just let it emerge.
Let this image be one inwhich you see your parents in a way which makes all of you bigger.

It is a powerful meditation. Then, sit with it for awhile and let it percolate within you.

Our next family mapping experience is on Monday, January 19th at 8:00 p.m. and the Center for Mind Body and Spirit. Join us for our last outing at that location:7647 Delmar Blvd. 63130.
Further evenings will be at the First Congregational Church UCC, 6501 Wydown Blvd., 63105!

Have a wonderful day!
Gail
