Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Constellation

 

Accelerated change and transition is all around us. How do we stay centered when it feels like the very ground we stand on is crumbling beneath our feet?  How do we avoid fear, attack, and blame?  Where do we find home, a job?  In this post I share the profound experience of a Nature Constellation for the oil and gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico.

A client came to the workshop day very ill. She had been in bed with fever, sore throat and laryngitis for several days. She shared with me privately that she had become sick and overwhelmed with deep sadness in relationship to the unfolding oil and gas leak situation in the Gulf of Mexico. Many in the group that day shared they also had been affected in various ways.

 

The client has been devoted to the work with a focus on family work. After a brief private interview where I discerned the overwhelm was not systemic in origin, and blame was not part of the issue I set up a  "blind" Constellation. Represented in the Constellation where *The waters of the Gulf of Mexico, *The flora, fauna,and wildlife of the Gulf of Mexico, * The oil and gas, and as always in an Abstract Constellation * A representative for an Unknown aspect operating.

 

It is my method of working to set up all Constellations "blind" (meaning the representatives do not know what they are representing) that leaves the chosen, free of projections, open to any truth that would want to show up on a soul level in relationship to the clients issue, of which they have no information.

 

The Representatives where chosen and placed in the circle by the client, allowing the roles to come to them, the movements started The waters take the center moving and twirling,Oil and gas was very joyful dancing and swirling around the room, The flora, fauna,and wildlife was more still and feeling the way around the circle. As their movement took more of the center, The waters slowly went down to the floor. Following this movement The Unknown aspect came to life following movements of connection to The waters. After a period of time the Unknown assisted the waters in standing once again and joining the others in the circle. 

 

As The waters rose up from the floor The flora, fauna, wildlife started a slow movement towards it. They came into a silent and profound embrace, and tears came to the observers in the room. Accompanying this movement was The oil and gas and The Unknown aspect encircling them with healing hands. After a long embrace The flora, fauna, wildlife started a very slow movement down to the ground where it lay for quite a time.

 

The others circled around it with hands held in a healing position. Very slowly The flora, fauna, wildlife came into a sitting position on the floor. With this movement it was clear to those present "life goes on" and as quickly as we had this thought The flora, fauna, wildlife was standing up supported by The waters. Slowly The oil and gas stood behind The flora, fauna, wildlife, I could see a distinct resemblance between the two, as if looking into the distant past. The oil and gas stood there for some time bringing to our awareness an incredible connection. In the ancient past these where one, being of organic origin, with most oil coming from plants and perhaps also animals, which were buried and fossilized in sedimentary source rocks. As this awareness moved out to the client once again tears flowed and the room was filled with beauty and awe. The past was present in the room in a profound new manner.

There was then a movement with all four Representatives as The waters, The oil and gas,The flora and fauna, wildlife, and The Unknown aspect came together to hold hands in a circle and slowly raise them to the sky. For quite sometime they stood in the circle in a peaceful silence. I ended the Constellation when all four where standing on their own as each had found their place and the room was filled with peace.

I shared with the group what I had set up and what they where representing. The Representatives where amazed and humbled as the issue set up was revealed. The representative for The oil and gas shared, in the role he was so joyful and just wanted to spread joy and energy around the Constellation circle.  

The client was awestruck and deeply moved by the Constellation movements and profound insights that where brought to light. With tear stained cheeks and a wide eyed smile she reported feeling much relief, hope and peace.
