Inner Peace Healing

At this time of the year, the river calls - with its coolness on the hot summer days, with the dappled shade, with bird song, with the gentleness of the water's flow. So the planned indoor constellation circle has moved outside, becoming a meditative morning.
We'll sit in stillness with the sound of water, and when we've landed, we will explore what it means to be in flow with the yes and no decisions to the choices in life with constellation exercises.

For those of you who are not on my mailing list - here's the newsletter I sent earlier this month.

This September, Inner Peace Healing turned 15, and the diviner in me came out of the closet. (Well, out of my healing room.)

From the time I knew I had to open a healing practice, before I could acknowledge that I was a healer, I felt an invisible hand guiding me as to which courses I should take. I signed up, mostly having no idea what I was going to learn, but I always found that it was exactly what I needed in my healer toolbox or for my own healing.

It was during my master reiki attunement with Miriam Platt that an ancestor first showed up. In a supposedly empty lounge chair in the circle sat my deceased paternal grandmother. Her presence was so strong that I had to introduce her to the group. Granny Vera loved Japan, so I put her presence down to Reiki’s origin in Japan. I now know it was so much more than that.

It was with the nudging of my ancestors that, at long last, also this September, I held my Divination Party four years after being initiated as a Diviner. It’s customary in the Dagara tradition*, once initiated as a Stick Diviner, to have a coming-out party a year or two later. The party is a celebration to root and ground one’s medicine and to share that a gate of healing has been opened in the area. If the amount of food consumed is an indication, it was a good celebration.

Over the past 16 years, one of my biggest challenges has been integrating all of my parts and not compartmentalising myself. It started with integrating the corporate analytical part and the good daughter/sister/wife part with the newly discovered healer part of me. Then came the more mystical parts, each of which peeled back another layer requiring acceptance and integration..

I think that it was partly from growing up in apartheid South Africa, where the communication with ancestors was misconstrued as possibly practicing black magic, and speaking to someone other than God was not okay (which used to confuse me as a child as Catholics prayed to so many saints). It was during the first year after leaving the corporate world, while training as a Field Guide, that I began to understand the deep connection with Nature and the honouring of their ancestors by the indigenous people of South Africa . I realised how blinkered my views on ancestors had been, and so started my journey to work with them. Now I cannot imagine life without knowing that my ancestors are there to support and guide me. So yes, it’s taken me a while to truly own my gifts as a healer, seer and diviner and then to celebrate them. And it’s on going.

Thank you to clients who came in the early days – when there was one small shelf of crystals – for the Osho Rebalancing Bodywork, Reiki, and Transformational Kinesiology and have kept coming back, trusting me as my offerings have grown and evolved over the years.

with love
Robyn

*The Dagara tradition comes from West Africa. It was introduced by the work of Malidome Somé, author of the book “The Healing Wisdom of Africa”.

Inner Peace Healing turned 15 this September and the diviner in me came out the closest (well out of my healing room).

The next Constellation Circle is on Thursday 13 November, 9.30 am - 2.30 pm. (You are welcome to arrive early for tea and fruit before we start).

What drives the yes and the no’s in your life?

As a Family Constellation unfolds, previously unseen aspects of our family system or parts of ourselves are revealed. The healing comes through acknowledging ‘what is’. This opens the flow of love in the family system. It’s saying ‘yes’, this did happen, it is not condoning what happened. Yes, used in this way brings healing.

People pleasers know all about always having to say yes. Not saying the ‘no’ that you want because of the ingrained sense of having to say yes – in order to belong and have a place. That type of yes comes at a cost – it is a no to yourself and keeps you small.

When you say no out of fear of the unknown, from stubbornness, feeling pressured, or because you don’t feel worthy to say yes, we close off the flow of life. A healthy ‘no’ sets boundaries.

What if you have the freedom to say yes and no from a place of strength? What is holding you back from feeling the expansiveness of personal choice?

In the next constellation circle, we will be exploring the yes in the no, and the no in the yes. And the interplay between your personal consciousness and family consciousness – the triggers of guilt and innocence that keep us trapped.

What is a Constellation Circle?
A Constellation Circle at Inner Peace Healing is a combination of Group Family Constellations and Constellation Exercises (Structured Constellations) facilitated by Robyn Fergus.

We start the morning in circle with a meditation.

The Constellation Exercises allow everyone who attends the Constellation Circle to do some personal work. The exercise relates to the theme of the Constellation Circle. Also referred to as a structured constellation, i.e. the roles of the representatives are stipulated as part of the exercise. They are done in silence in a group of 2 or 3 people, the only speaking is the healing sentences. Afterwards, there is time for sharing what arose. Over the past few years, I have witnessed beautiful shifts flow from these powerful short exercises.

Group Constellations flow out from the Constellation Exercises, i.e exploring an issue that may have been revealed and requires a more in-depth exploration.

If you want to be certain of having your own constellation, there are 2 spaces for pre-booked Family Constellations. These constellations can be on any issue that you wish to constellate.

During the morning, there is a tea break with snacks and a lunch break during which a light meal is served.

Depending on what arises during the session, a healing shamanic drum journey may be included.



The Constellation Circle is R480.

A pre-booked Family Constellation is R1350 (including the cost of the workshop).

Here, where the summers are hot and dry, winter brings awakening and transformation with the arrival of rain and chilly nights. It’s not a time of hibernation.

The once dry ochre earth is now a green carpet densely dotted with white oxalis flowers, a reminder that the Cederberg mountain peaks will also soon be covered with the white of snow. The tiny round flowers on the tortoise berry bushes look like a purple haze, mirroring the low-lying succulents that the rains have transformed from a desiccated grey to a plump deep green, their delicate, many-petaled flowers of gentle white and purple just starting to show themselves.

During the winter months leading through to spring, nature offers a carefully choreographed shifting of colours. Peeping between the green carpet are the lacy leaves of the parachute daisies. In a few weeks, the landscape will be transformed when they bloom bright orange, complemented by the cerise of shrubby succulents. I never know exactly which bulbs or annuals will make a statement, other than the certainty that it's going to be spectacular.

It's a bit like the Munay Ki Journeys I've been facilitating over the years. There are some certainties, but each group invites a unique healing journey. What I do know is that the layering of the Munay Ki Rites on each other and the archetype chakra meditations of the Harmony Rite will bring beauty and transformation into your life.

If you long to gather with an open-hearted community around a fire, this is an invitation to join the Munay Ki Journey. The word Munay means love in Quechua (a language from Peru), and Ki is energy in Japanese.

When the winter rains arrived, the earth leakage switch in the electrical box began tripping. The electrician said that the switch was tired after tripping so many times It's a bit like that for us too. When something happens in our lives that is too much for our nervous system, we trip out - disassociate. It's our psyche's way of staying safe.

We begin to feel like this tree on the edge of the bank, just hanging in there. Like a tired earth leakage switch, we start tripping regularly and loose our connection to the earth. I know when it's happening for me - that loss of connection. I knock into things. I get clumsy. For others, it's when the mind goes into overdrive and never stops thinking. Or there is inertia, a freeze into doing nothing.

When I feel this disconnection to the earth, I know it's time to go outside and lie on the grass. I feel my body reconnecting, and breathe out slowly. If it's a wet winter's day, I lie on the floor inside, near a window to look up at the sky. I imagine the connection between heaven and earth. How I am anchored to the earth as I connect to the expanse of the cosmos. I feel the Divine around and in me, and the gratitude of landing back in my body.

Constellation Circle 12 June 9.30 - 2.30.
This is an invitation to join the next Constellation Circle, where we will be exploring keeping connection with our bodies and the earth - so you don't keep tripping out. Yet we need to acknowledge that sometimes we need to be uprooted, to fall into that river and see where that takes us.

When we become unrooted we feel like this tree on the river bank - just hanging in there. Ungrounded and with lost connection to the earth.

True courage, according to Bert Hellinger, is not slaying the dragon - instead, courage is approaching our fears, befriending them and understanding them.
What do you need to connect to your courage to meet your dragon with compassion?

There is a Maya Angelou quote that says "Every storm runs out of rain". The turbulence too will settle to calm - to allow clarity.

In the last mailing I sent I wrote about how I experienced constellation work as magic when I first encountered it. Yet Systemic Constellations are not an airy-fairy magical process - so it got me thinking about what is the science behind constellations.

I don't have all the answers and know that this will be a piece of work that I will continue to update.

I know January is a tough month so if you would love to join this Constellation Circle but feel financially constrained - please register, then reply to the automated email to let me know you like one of the 2 tickets on offer for R150 instead of R450.

An invitation to join the Constellation Circle I'm facilitating on Saturday 25 January in Hout Bay. There will be Group Family Constellations - some places are pre-booked and others will be chosen on the day from what flows from the Constellation Exercises.

Constellation Exercises (working in pairs or groups of 3) where, at this Constellation Circle, we explore what distracts you from that sense of coming home. Home may be where you find shelter, home could be being a home in your body or on the land that you feel at home or being at home in your family or in a community. Whatever aspect, right now, where you are not feeling at home.
Part of the healing in constellation work is acknowledging what is. That is what the constellation exercises offer.

We start at 9.30 (you are welcome to arrive earlier for a cup of tea before we start) and end by 14.30. Lunch and tea are included in the R450 for the Constellation Circle.
