Napa Somatic, Systemic, and Family Constellation

The Greater Soul moves in only one direction, and that is to bring into union that which has been made separate.”– Bert Hellinger

Somatic Constellation helps us to unburden intergenerational trauma that was passed to us from previous generations without our full awareness of its effect on our health. Often symptoms that are stubborn to heal can find its roots and healings in the hidden exclusion of family members or exclusion of self. Our body is our family’s nervous system. It is taken from the family system.

Constellation adds another dimension to healing which is a quick read into what the body is communicate with us, vs. what I think about my condition. The healing method acts as a compass, guiding us to the unresolved issues that are keeping us in a loop of entanglement with our families and ancestors as we gently and lovingly untangle these wounds and connections. From this, we can then re- write our stories as the body listens and follows. The sacred movements that we learn from this work can act as acknowledgments of what was excluded which then allows us to be free again and move into wholeness and connection to present life and living.

The evidence for this approach is compelling. The findings show that the root of many of our body illnesses may reside in the trauma of our parents, grandparents and even before that.

If you want LOVE to flourish, you need to do what it demands and to refrain from doing what harms it. Love follows the hidden order of the greater soul.

Jung: “You are as sick as your family secretes” is relevant here. And “What does not come back to our awareness, comes back as a destiny”. The work is about remembering how to listen to our soul and to the soul of the greatest Whole.

I was very fortunate to learn with some of the eldest in the field from various international Constellation teachers. I find that 37 years of practicing TCM and healing practice was leading to this, and it is the beginning of a new relationship to my work and what I can offer.
