Small group in subtle matter

What I have in mind is a form that I currently have with a sister and cousin who both live in New Zealand. We regularly meet online and delve into something that is going on, or we come up with something to do, on a subtle level. Constellations are part of this. We have also done a representative constellation once. This can be anything. For example, we once examined our clairvoyant, clairfeeling, clairaudient, clairsentient and claircognisant abilities to see to what extent we use them and whether there is room to use them more, and to what extent that will be easy or difficult. That was very interesting to do. (For an explanation of this subtle exercise, see the section entitled ‘Insight through percentage exercises’ under ‘Subtle exercises’.)

Anything is possible in the subtle energetic or ethereal realm. The focus is on learning from and with each other. Everyone can contribute. The group is not intended as a support network, although it can be very helpful, especially if you receive a constellation. But the most important thing is that we encourage ourselves and each other, in a playful way, to engage more on a subtle level and to develop ourselves in this area.

If you think this is a good idea, I hope you can form a group yourself. I only do this in Dutch.

Case: The drowned child

My sister from New Zealand and I had once done something on a subtle energetic level that didn't take much time, so we had some time left over. I said that I thought it would be nice to represent someone. We discussed whether that could be done online, because I would need guidance. My sister immediately said that it was possible because distance doesn't matter, and she added that as my guide, she wanted me to remain conscious. Of course. And what could I represent? Immediately, it occurred to me: my maternal grandmother, our mother's mother. We never knew her because she died when our mother was still a toddler.

I stood up to represent her, and the first thing she said was: “I'm not your grandmother.” A moment later: “I'm not an ancestor.” And a little later: “I'm a little creature that drowned.”

I was stunned. Are we dealing with a human being here? I asked that question inwardly to the little creature that had drowned. 

Then it unfolded. ‘I’ am a little three-year-old girl who drowned and who lives quietly in a sheltered and safe environment where she feels okay and doesn't have to leave of her own accord. She is a niece of our grandmother, who is her aunt. And this woman, our grandmother, kept asking, “Where is that child?” Because that child suddenly went missing and was never found again.

I could feel our grandmother's emotion at meeting each other. But also our grandmother's pain: she had been so worried about this all this time. 

Afterwards, I asked Margrete and Ferry how it was possible that this problem had not been resolved in the spiritual world, and that this woman with the question about her missing child had remained stuck. They explained that trauma often makes someone difficult to reach. 

Because she was traumatised by this, she had been unable to experience the child before. It had been a helpful ancestral constellation, which had turned out differently than expected.
