Small group in subtle matter

What I have in mind is a form that I had with a sister and cousin who both live in New Zealand. We regularly met online and delved into something that was going on, or we came up with something to do, on a subtle level. Constellations were part of this. We have also done a representative constellation once. Furthermore, this could 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 ‘Percentage exercises for insight’ under ‘Subtle exercises’.)

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

The ‘small group in subtle matter’ took a rather unusual turn when we came into contact with Olly the cat, and through him with other animals. You can read more about this elsewhere on the website, under ‘Who is Olly?’ (under ‘Nature beings’) and under ‘Animal Interview’.

If you’d like to do something like that too, I hope you can form a group yourself. 

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.
