Thursday, June 25, 7 – 9:30 pm
with John Cheney.
In this demonstration, experience a cutting edge form of Constellation work that has applied a different “system” when compared with Family Systems Constellations developed by Bert Hellinger. John Cheney (originator/facilitator) will demonstrate “5 Element Constellations” which focus on the regulatory system of the body and are based on the Chinese meridian system.
The Chinese system of 5 elements (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood) has been used for thousands of years as a device for describing interactions and relationships between phenomena. It is a systemic model of wholeness that can help reflect the condition of our body’s energy system. In Family Constellations, we select individuals to represent our family. In a 5 Element Constellation, we pick representatives for the 5 elements which give an objective view of the condition of our energetic body. We then seek to resolve and balance these energies through dialogue, acupressure and tuning forks used on the meridians.
In 5 Element Constellations participants are set up in a circle rather than the straight ancestral lines we would see in Family Constellations. The clockwise circle represents a continuous flow of life/energy that is similar to the “mother (or parent) gives life to child” principle in Family Constellations (fire is the mother of earth [child], earth is the mother of metal, metal carries water, and so on).
