Hi,
Just to share with those who have not heard from Phyllis Krystal.
This now very old woman (95) and who still working in different spots
of the world, has developped very easy exercices to bring balance in
our lives.
One of those is the exercice with the symbol of tao (yin and ynag). I
often use that exercice (and others) in my groups (women are
generally predominant and the lack of men implies that women must
take places of men - not easy but instructive!)
Her whole work of PK is based on the connexion with the Higher
Consciousness (as she names it very neutraly).
I have the chance to meet her more than one time, she pointed out the
difficulties (and also the dangers) of the work with constellations.
Thank to everybody to this very interesting topic
With Love

thanks dan and thanks fung and sadhana and everyone for this
thread. it actually covers what i was going to try to communicate a
few weeks ago in response to david, about masculine and feminine
energy and how the different and complementary roles of each need
to be acknowledged in constellations as in relationships (and all
of life is relationship not just our current sexual partner) for a
'complete' constellation or good feel about the flow of love. the
examples people gave here are fantastic.
thanks all
cheers

To all -
It seems that when a distinct pattern or theme shows up strongly
particular Constellation, I have a tendency to recognize the sametheme
in subsequent Constellations over a period of time. That's partof my
learning and growth process, seeing these patterns and testing outagain and
different ways to work with them.
Along the lines of woman follows/man serves, what I have seen
again is: man leaves the woman/woman is left in the weeds. There isis a
often a child involved as the product of the couple's union.
At the systemic level, everyone is included and belongs. On the
terrestrial plane, looking at the arc of familial history, there
tremendous amount of physical separation, isolation, anddisplacement.
Sometimes, I set up a maternal line or paternal line at thestart. Very
often, the representatives soon disconnect. When I ask for thefamily
history, the story involves a father who left and a mother leftalone.
Further, at the core of these stories, there is frequently astory of a
taboo pregnancy, resulting in a baby born into shame.may have
Within these stories, there is a tremendous amount of diversity. The
man may forced out by family, church, or government. The woman

The root of this pattern in Western civilization lies in the
of "paternity" about 3,000 b.c.e. Prior to this, human societiesambiguous or
perceived children as coming from women, with the paternity
unknown. The recognition of paternity was followed closely byand the
monogamy, as a way to secure the identity of the father. From this,
came the social ideal that the father's identity must be known
father's parental rights were superior to the mothers (e.g.Abraham's
sacrifice of Isaac attempted without Sarah's knowledge or consent).weeds.
From this, there is one condition of birth that is deemed"legitimate." While all the many others are "illegitimate." Very few
people can trace a clean chain of legitimate ancestors for multiple
generations. Rather, women become pregnant under any and every
circumstance. When the pregnancy violates the social norm, the good
conscience of the group drives a wedge between father-mother-child,
leading towards man leaves/woman (and/or child) is left in the
wake is a
For the breathing generation, the legacy that follows in this
heavy burden. In the Constellation, with everyone seen and honored,opens up
everyone who belongs included and in their good place, loves
into a torrent that flows from the ancestors to the living. Still, alegacy of
Constellation, even the best of them, does not eradicate the
rape, abandonment, shame, scorn, loneliness, heartbreak, alcoholism,impulses.
etc. that trails behind us in long chains. The memories implanted in
our cells, hearts, and minds continue to be felt and feed our
Constellations
The healing resolutions that come through these types of
are most often:included the
* Every baby is a sacred baby. There is no shame in being born.
* Pregnancy happens.
* Couples can stay together when each partner accepts everyone who
stands behind both of them and agrees that everything that
happened happened.
* Couples can separate without casting blame or shame on themselves
or their partners. The good love they shared and whatever it
brought lives on. They are always the mother and father of their
children.
Thanks for David for raising the topic and to the others who offered
their reflections.
