The Constellation
Last weekend, I experienced a remote constellation clearing session
with Barbara Eggenberger of Innate Movements of the Soul. Family constellations plunge into the roots of your history and clear past traumas
in your lineage.
Constellation facilitators can also clear specific issues from
your present. The constellation counselor moves between standing in the
position of each person, or element, emotion, or concept, and facilitates the
release of blocked energy. I asked Barbara to focus on removal of the writer’s
block in the way of completing my second book.
Barbara called me after the session to explain how the
showdown occurred between “Erin” and “The Book.” This face-off between me and
my creative baby involved release of a flurry, a tirade and a final healing
expansion of the Kundalini energy uncoiling and expanding. The Kundalini shakti
flowed, finally, into ever-expanding Spaciousness that went on and on and on,
explained Barbara, and then the same flowed out through The Book.
Gateway to India: The Fence Post
Toward the end of the constellation clearing, the energies
of Erin and The Book were both entranced in focusing on a single fence post
outside Barbara’s window while she stood on the spots representing the two of us.
We were enraptured in The Ordinary. We both had exquisite, perfect reverence for
a plain, ordinary fence post. Though this post was, at first glance, like all
the other fence posts, this particular one was standing out magnificently.
After this long communion of Oneness with the fence post, Erin and The
Book went into a rapture of deep, solemn peace and joy for sheer
existence. After all the fear and rage and ‘shoulds’ and ‘ought tos’ had been
released from the roots, only pure bliss remained.
I reflected later on the meaning of the fence post: why would
Erin and The Book be so entranced by a fence?
A fence post can be part of a
gate. I realized that my sequel in progress (Bindi Girl II: Surrendering to the Soul of India) is a gateway
book, a middle child of a trilogy. BG 2 is a stopping point, a pause and
preparation for the third and final book. It is an opening into vast inner –
and outer – realms. BG 2 is a stepping stone to BG 3, which will be a
compilation of short stories and teachings of spiritual mastery and travel.
Horse Sense: Patience
Digging deeper, I noodled around a bit on the Internet to look for any
spiritual teachings on fence posts. I like the symbolism of patience, which I
found in Zen Mind, Zen Horse: The Science
and Spirituality of Working with Horses, a spiritual horse whisperer series
which you can view on YouTube:
We use the symbol of
the fence post as one of perfect patience. When the horse pulls back and
resists, the fence post exerts equal pressure. When the horse yields, the fence
post yields with impeccable timing. Learning from the example of the fence
post, we can see that patience, pressure
and impeccable release produce astounding results with our horse.
(If you’re a horse lover, Zen lover, or in
need of Patience Wisdom, give a quick listen to the 3 minute YouTube lesson
from Zen Mind, Zen Horse here.)
And so, with "patience, pressure, and impeccable release," work on my second book continues.
