A Matter of Life and Death Part 2

Mind & Soul, Published

In the last blog post of our mini series ‘A Matter of Life and Death’ we’ve discovered that science has no proof for death is putting an end to life. Now we’re looking at what ancient wisdom schools have to say.

The Upanishad’s are the oldest wisdom teachings, dating back 5000-7000 years. The written form are several text books conveying the path to Self-realisation, the many layers of life and how to lead a meaningful life. These timeless books are looking at life and death in great depth, as this is the most important topic when asking the question: who am I – really? The question that put everybody who’s seeking the Truth on a path deep down to discover one’s Self.

The general dictum in the Upanishads: Jatasya maranam dhruvam explains that death is inevitable to a person who is born. That meaning, birth and death belong together like light and shadow, one cannot exist without the other. They are inseparable and life itself is not touched by neither, birth and death.

A Matter of Life and Death

Mind & Soul, Published, Wellbeing & Lifestyle

It’s a matter of life and death! – We say these words when danger is near and we fear to die if the wrong decision is made. But listen closely, what do we really say here? – That death is the end of life, that it seems to destroy life to never return again, that life is the opposite of death. Is this a scientific fact? Is this reported to us by ancient wisdom schools? Is this what we perceive?

In this mini-series of 3 blog posts we’re exploring this question in depth and will have an hopefully satisfactory answer to these questions at the end.

Let’s start with some science: Energy is never going away, a fact that quantum physics has given us, it only goes through transformation from one state into the other. Life is energy in motion, i.e. the physical body is created out of cell tissues and nourishment, provided by the mother’s cells, and deliver to the placenta via the blood stream. The embryo has the ability to transform this matter into its own body cells. They’re not appearing or disappearing out of thin air, right? These cells are being replaced frequently throughout a lifetime of a body. They are the product of the food and oxygen the body is provided with, which it uses to form new cells: just another act of transforming energy. And when this body dies the same cells are being transformed to dust and earth or ashes in case of cremation, giving back nourishment for other life forms like plants as a building block for new growth, therefore going through another state of transformation.

Love Is In The Air…

Published

The seasons are changing, some experiencing the transition from the warm summer to colder nights and shorter days, like we on the Southern Hemisphere. Others – and that is the majority of people – seeing longer days and warmer weather, the flowers coming out of their hibernation as a bulb, and a zing is in the air: a vibration of life and the love for life.

The word ‘LOVE’ didn’t make it into the most commonly used words in 2020, which have been mainly concerned with ‘pandamic’ ‘lock down’ and ‘remote’ for understandable reasons we are all aware of. But that doesn’t mean that it is not used frequently, particularly in never-ending netflix series or as a phrase of greeting family members: ‘ See you soon, I love you…’ What is said here in truth? : ‘ I depend on you so don’t you dare to leave me’. This is not love, but attachment, and often used as a plea (or sometimes even a threat) not to be alone.

In family constellation we use the word LOVE in a different way. It is neither romantic nor stereotype, in fact is has a strong impact on the family system and can heal generation old family wounds: The word YES or I LOVE YOU has an extremely strong impact to let stuck energy flow again between 2 people in a family dynamic.

The Many Faces of Anger

Family Constellation, Mind & Soul, Published

Anger has many faces: for example, someone attacks you and you react with anger. This anger is necessary to defend yourself from the attack. This is a good and meaningful emotion and will be released immediately after the attack is over through shaking, crying, or heavy breathing.

And then there is anger against yourself when you make a ‘wrong’ decision, this anger is self-destructive and a substitute of letting go of the past and acknowledging what is. This emotion is sticky and will attach itself to you for a long time, maybe all your life, until you’ll be able to let it go by understanding your way and destiny, sometimes also called ‘the spiritual journey to yourself’.

Anger is ‘love-hold-back’ in disguise.

And then there is anger against someone else whom you have hurt, because you cannot admit that your action has caused their suffering, so you’re camouflaging the feeling of guilt with anger. This emotion will also stick around for a long time until you see the emotion of guilt and what is truely needed: taking over responsibility of your own actions and the result of it.

Autoimmune Diseases in Family Constellations

Family Constellation, Published

The cases of clients with autoimmune diseases coming to a family constellation in search for help have been growing lately. Recently, with the latest case, I started to see similarities in the different Family Systems which seem to be the cause of an autoimmune disease. We are talking here mainly about Arthritis, Psoriasis and Dermatitis.

Can Family Constellation help these clients when traditional and alternative therapies fail to deliver results?

The answer is YES. Maybe not in every case, but often enough to say it is worth trying.

And why not? The family constellation has no unwanted side-effects, so no risks are involved when looking at the soul-cause of these diseases at a family constellation workshop.

Following are 3 examples from my practice as a systemic and energy coach and family constellation facilitator where the client wanted to look at an autoimmune disease:

The Field of Ancestors

Family Constellation, Mind & Soul, Published

When you’re going to a Family Constellation Workshop chances are that you’ll meet one or more of your ancestors. That is, not in person, but their energy fields, represented by other workshop participants. The ancestor is there to either support you to clear an old family pattern that causes suffering in the family system or he/she is still stuck in a trauma and asks you to help to clear the path in order to return home where his/her soul belongs, free of the burden of the past event.

The family dynamic is hidden and only revealed when both family members are ready to look at what has caused it with love.

But who is it that you’re looking at in this situation? And why have you been chosen for this task? The answer to these questions can be found in the ‘Orders of Love’ or ‘Loves hidden symmetries’ as developed by Bert Hellinger: there is a special bond between you and your ancestor, also called a family dynamic, which ties you two together with an unseen thread made out of the emotion of compassion.

When we talk about ancestors in family constellations we’re looking at the 4th to 7th generation, which includes the great grandfathers and 3 more generations of parents before them.

What are participants saying

  • Thank you so much for your time and wonderful skills, you truly are amazing. I love your energy and your vibe is brilliant. This family constellation work is so powerful and very healing. I am so grateful to you for bringing it to us.

  • The morning after my first family constellation workshop with Maia I woke up with new eyes. Everything looked different, more vibrant and alive. I suddenly had no need to spend hours scrolling through social media and posting about stuff, it felt meaningless and like a waste of time. Instead I went in the garden and looked after my veggie patch. It was so peaceful. Thank you for this profound experience which opened my heart and my eyes to what is really important in live.

  • Having done both group and private Family Constellation sessions online I can say that they are both as effective as sessions in person. To my surprise I found that the group sessions worked even better online. Being alone in my own home was familiar and comfortable. Perhaps I was less self-conscious, or less distracted. Whatever the reason, we were all in agreement that the virtual format was more intense. Both as a character and as a watching participant it was less like a performance and more of a group conversation. More intimate, more of a collaboration in spirit.

    Maia has a flexible attitude of exploration that makes it easy to trust her instincts, and go for the journey, set up for enquiry, being confident that it will always be worth the trip. The resulting resolutions brought powerful and meaningful outcomes in every case.

  • Thank you so much for today, I was really buzzing after the workshop, I felt like jumping and hugging everyone that came my way.
    Anna I.

  • At first I was concerned that online Family Constellation sessions would probably not work well, or at least be considerably less effective than sessions in person with Maia. But what I found was the online group energy was just as strong as before, and my personal experiences were just as insightful and just as healing for me as in previous sessions. In fact in some cases, I felt the energy was even stronger.

    I feel it is extremely important though when the sessions are online that the facilitator is especially experienced in guiding Family Constellations. We are blessed that Maia is such a facilitator. Thank you Maia. Love

  • I had several family constellations with Maia about my struggels with studies, business, children issues and my own habits and fears. The way Maia is facilitating family constellations makes me feel comfortable, open, secure and nourished. The sessions with Maia have allowed me to finally embark on my way to true self-healing and to bring all issues I had to an end.
    Virna M.
  • I have so much Love and Gratitude for Maia and her work in Family Constellations. After experiencing a few now, I am still so amazed! Very profound in how it works with healing on many levels. It has not only helped me in releasing personal childhood trauma, which is not easy at times, also trauma from my whakapapa and past generations. Thank you Maia!
    Tina S.
  • I was suffering of armpit odour since my teenagehood. No matter what I did, it was always there. The same week I had a one-on-one session with Maia about this issue I wore a sleeveless dress again, the odour was completely gone!
    Julia V.

  • My first Family Constellation workshop. I can tell Maia is a deeply tuned-in spiritual being, with her feet on the ground and great wisdom to compliment her considerable and lucid intelligence. Friends had recommended Family Constellations as a complimentary modality to the Hakomi psychotherapy I have graduated in, and it seems Maia is one of the most (if not the most) experienced and trained facilitator. It was an intense day! Quite different from anything else I've tried. Beautifully conducted, clearly explained, and conducted in an embodied, interactive way that catered to my individual concerns and outlook. I'll definitely be trying this again. Amazing group process - powerful but lighthearted, fun and comfortable.

  • It has been a wonderful opportunity to get to meet & work with Maia and the virtual family. She guided me to shed light on those circumstances that were consuming me, to remind me of my way home and to the realisation that I've been carrying the key to enter it all along. Thanks to my friend that recommended Maia’s family constellation. 💗
    Virna M.
  • I met Maia two years ago while I was going through a big transformation in my life. Thanks to this healing modality, I have been able to heal deep wounds in my family system and to connect and received the love from my direct family and all my ancestors. I have done both ways, present and virtual workshops with Maia, and found that both of them work perfectly and are equally powerful. For me it is great that we now have more flexibility to attend. I will be forever thankful to Maia for making me reconnect from love to my family, specially with my mum. Thank you Maia for holding this amazing healing space.
    Rocio G.
  • I couldn't find a virtual Family Constellation Facilitator training anywhere. After googling and searching, I found this beautiful training with Maia. It was exactly what I was looking for. I love how Maia incorporate other healing modalities and made the connection between spirituality and family constellation. It is all connected! This training was Godsend and I am beyond grateful!
    Rev. NamShakti
  • I want to thank you Maia from my heart for what you enabled for me during the family constellation workshop. I feel a huge weight has flown from my body to allow positive healing to begin after many years of negativity, the last two being hell on earth. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and being here. Kia ora, my heart is very humble and for once is light again. Love and gratefulness to you.
    Tamara T.

  • Maia has a unique approach to Family Constellations - in accordance to the legacy left from Bert Hellinger her Constellations treat the essential - the roots of the imbalance.

    I have been in her Family Constellation workshops and latly her online workshops - her online group sessions have proven to be really fantastic. You can certainly receive the benefits of being part of a group dynamic and be constellated from your own home.

    Daniel M.
  • Thank you for hosting the recent constellation workshop, introducing me to this exciting field, and shepherding us through the process. It has deeply affected me, and already impacted my psychotherapy practice in some very beneficial ways. I look forward to attending future workshops and trainings with you.
    Mark C.

  • I have been attending many family constellations and Maia is an extraordinary gift to New Zealand. It is such as honour collaborating and supporting her work. With many years of experience she is an amazing facilitator and very well educated by the master Bert Hellinger. I highly recommend this healing modality to everyone.

    Alejandra F.
  • I wanted to thank you for the beautiful group session we had the other day and the amazing opportunity to work on my own constellation. It came at the right time, felt really good and profound to release and I am open to see and experience what happens next..
    Christina Y.
  • I am grateful for Maia's guidance in this continuous learning at the school of life, for I have applied what she taught to my own family system, improved all interrupted reaching out movement with my parents, siblings and deceased ancestors through her skilful experience. Thank you for your strength, gentleness, deep intuition and passion to share. I will honor your love by living the best version of myself.
    Meilinda S.
  • Thank you so very much for yet again a profound experience and Healing day. It was very powerful and yet peaceful!
    I am very grateful for your teaching, providing a space to safely tackle generational trauma and your tranquil approach.
    Claudia D.

  • I’ve completed several online Family Constellations with Maia and, like in-person constellations, I’ve been blown away by their power. In fact, there seems to be something particularly strong in the connection when it’s done online. The healing is absolutely as profound as in person and Maia skilfully facilitates the process with awareness and compassion. I highly recommend it.

    Gabrielle M.

  • It is amazing how immediately and authentically we are able to see the heart of the issues that emerge within the family dynamic in family constellations facilitated by Maia. I've learnt a huge amount about myself each time I have been.
