Peace is just the beginning part four

Mind & Soul, Published / 28 June 2020 by Maia

In the last blog post we have uncovered the conditioning of the mind, the second mind. There are several methods to write a new program that overrules these conditionings.

A quite common modality is NLP: Neuro-linguistic programming. Another one that is within the scientific standards is CBT: cognitive behavioural therapy. Both working with communication to identify the conditioned behaviour and change it by ‘overwriting’ it with new information. That can be done also by simply practicing ‘positive thinking’.
But all this methods are addressing the mind to overrule mind pattern: they try to get rid of the problem with the help of the problem. Does that sound right?

The mind will not get rid of itself

And exactly here lays the problem: the mind is not willing to get rid of itself.

It might pretend to be on the same side as you and your intention to change, but when it comes head to head with a perceived life-threatening situation, it will pull the plug and retreat back to the conditioned behaviour. Who cannot tell a story when this has happened over and over again? We all go that far and then something happens and we’re … falling back into old habits. And that means peace of mind is gone once again, and drama enters our life in form of a finished relationship, a lost job, a dis-ease, an eating pattern, or any form of depression.

So if we cannot rely on the mind, are we doomed with our conditioned mind? Is real change not possible?

Thankfully we are also blessed with another important part of your body system: the heart. We not only have a physical heart, that pumps blood through our veins, but also a spiritual heart, that goes by the name of the second heart. The yogis of the world have been telling us all along, that this is the source of life, where decisions ought to be made which will lead us to a creative, fulfilled and peaceful life.

So the next question is: how do we access this non-physical heart, the second heart, to overrule the second mind? In the next blog post we’ll dive into the world of spiritual healing. For now, ask yourself: how far down the rabbit hole do I want to go? …TBC

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.

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.

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.

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 here in Marlborough. I will be there for the next one in May.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
