family constellation work

Our relationship with our family of origin impacts our relationships with family, friends, healh,, work, money, and more. Constellation work is a healing approach that allows one to witness and step into an old relationship in order to see it with new eyes.
Are you stuck in the same habits and patterns, and can’t seem to get out from under no mater how many intentions you make? It’s likely that these habits and patterns have their beginnings in your intergenerational past.
If you have ever held an infant in your arms, or watched children three and younger play, you understand that these youngsters are filled with love. This love leads children, unconsciously, to agree to engage in negative patterns, out of their loving and loyal natures.
We are all born this way. We are so filled with love and loyalty for family that we, as babies, took on all the good and the bad in order to stay connected to our family of origin. Similarly, our parents loved their family so much that they took on these negative patterns from their parents. And their parents took on the same patterns from their family and so on down the line. And so the patterns are passed down from one generation to the next, until one member of the family decides to change the pattern.
A constellation taps into the energy field of the family, revealing these unwanted patterns that were created out of love and loyalty. Using figurines, you, the client, present an issue to Molly, and as you together enter the family energy field , the resolutions are found, and the negative feelings are softened. By acknowledging what is, both the good and the bad, you are held in the healing field of the constellation. As a probable result, you will see your family members with new eyes and experience more freedom and love both with loved ones and within yourself.
