Thank you, Leslie! I love that.
In my training with Francesca, she reminded us that representing is a gift;
we are invited into "the person's living room" for a time, and to remain
there afterward is a sort of trespass. It's like stealing a life from
someone else.
I am a shamanic practitioner who does a lot of similar work, and I use
various methods of grounding (physically going outside and standing on the
Earth), switching seats, etc.
For me I remind myself of the ways in which I am personally different from
the person I represented: "I am short; they are tall / I am gay; they are
straight" etc., which helps with the differentiation for me. I also read
this method somewhere and I cannot for the life of me remember where. If
anyone knows where this came from, please help me remember!
Physical activity, eating a small amount of food (Grapes, nuts, a little
protein, etc.) can help with this.
Sometimes the representation has been "sticky" for me and has lingered
despite my best efforts to let it go.
Hope this is helpful.
Best,
Jeffrey

I can’t remember where I picked this up, so if the originator (or a person
who knows the originator) of this ritual is here, let us know! I didn’t
create it (although I’ve adapted it a little).
Immediately following the constellation, we all sit back in the seats we
had before we started. We go in a circle saying “My name is ________, and I
represented _______.” Each time the client looks at the person and simply
says “thank you.” If a person didn’t represent, they say “My name is
__________, and I was a witness.”
People LOVE this little ritual. On the rare occasions I forget, I always
get complaints. ;-)

helping representatives release the energies they are holding for the
client.
I am curious about releasing immediately after a constellation
And also something thoughts on releasing after the entire workshop.
Your thoughts and wisdom are greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Jack Blackwell
