Mental problems and issues in relationships are often caused by blockages in our unconscious mind. Releasing these blocks requires special attention to the unconscious. For example, when we use techniques to remember and interpret our dreams, we often find symbols that contain the solutions caused by our conscious ego choices. Another way to awaken the unconscious is with Family Constellations, a method that not only activates the unconscious, but also settles unfinished emotional issues in the family.

We all inherit gifts as well as “gaps” from our family blood lines. Genetic gifts for the body and mind are well-known. It is our birthright to deserve support, encouragement and nurturing of these gifts—such as creative talents in the arts, athletics, academics and more. We eventually become responsible to develop these talents; ultimately, we must follow the callings of our soul.

Dreams and Family Constellations provide solutions because they arise from a deep part of us connected to the “Knowing Field”. This is a shamanic energy field that exists in the collective unconscious mind of our family and of culture in general. It expands our awareness well beyond what we could know on our own.
