Dear ,
Last weekend I had the honour to hold 3 constellation workshops in Malta.
At the check-out of one of the days, after many deep and touching healing experiences, a participant said: “How much I would love to stay here and not have to go out into the world again tomorrow.”
It made me realize that this is how many people feel. They feel safe in the space that I create, connected to that “something bigger” but then they go back to the “normal” world as if it was something different. As if there was a world within the workshop space and another one outside the workshop space.
What happens when we divide the world into different spaces? We create separation and the consequence of separation is always fear and helplessness which lead to giving up and depression or to fighting and aggression.
Yes, everyday life might feel unsafe and hard, creating suffering and pain. But what if the belief that we are at its mercy was just an illusion?
If I live with a certain image of the world, I will unconsciously attract what fits into this image. It will reconfirm my belief, and the vicious cycle will continue.
Media, newspapers, even movies play a big role in creating our view on the world. When we look closely, we realize that they clutter us with mostly negative, sad, unsettling and sometimes horrible news. We dive into them, we feel anxious and indignant and share them with everybody in the belief that this could bring a change. In reality we multiply their energy, fear and indignation.
Fear and indignation hinder us from connecting with love even with our loved ones. You cannot be upset with the world and then just turn to your loved ones as if nothing had happened. It will always have an impact.
So, what can we do, you might ask?
Well, we can simply follow Viktor E. Frankl when he says that it is not about what happens, but how we respond to what happens. How we act and react.
Please be aware that there is no difference between my workshop space and the world outside.
Everyone of you can bring the same spirit of love and reconciliation with gentleness into the world – it is just a matter of choice.
And so, I want to end this newsletter with how I ended my book:
“We all have a choice: The choice to open our heart and to connect with our human fellow beings in a way so that together we can create a world where everyone can belong, find their place, acknowledge the other one’s fate, and take responsibility for their own life in a balance of give and take.”
In the spirit of love and reconciliation
