Grief – Our Approach

Source: https://mediocremeanderings.com/2018/05/02/grief/

Grief always takes it’s own path and time.

However, there comes a point though where one recognises life is blocked from moving forward because of the grief. Each person will come to this, or not, in their own time.

We offer support to those whom grief has been with for some time and they just can’t seem to move past it. For some counselling has just not worked. Even kinesiology, meditation, body work or similar has failed to allow one to move into a better state of being.

“We work with clients at the level of the individual and ancestral. “

The human being can most often resolve grief at the individual level in the normal pathways of healing, however unresolved ancestral grief can be very complex, entangled with the events of their life-time, in a family and community that may be also traumatised. Our experience shows that good clean resolutions of these ancestral griefs direct with the communities they where they were experienced, allows for this internal space, peace, clarity and innate ability in the individual living in the here-and-now to complete their own grieving experience. This is healing transgenerational grief.

Said another way:

Stuck here:
“My grief is real and unique to me, the tears or sadness just keep hindering or spoiling the life and interactions I want.”

After an ancestral healing journey program:
“I could not believe an ancestor has experienced the same grief and story as my own. My grief was not unique, and that was a real surprise. I have somehow created the same scenario of grief that my ancestor endured and that trauma was being recreated and re-lived by me. After two sessions and two months, life started to happen. It’s like parts of me have come back and they work!”

INDICATIVE CLIENT EXPERIENCE

There are many ways we support working with clients:

  • One or two shamanic journeys to address and free the grief energy – ideal for newbies or situations where it’s hard to do any more than be present.
  • Two ancestral healing journeys – ideal for when you know the grief/sadness well and much work has been done on it.
  • MindBody Constellation event workshop or private paper constellation – these are ideal for complex hard to move/unravel/resolve.
  • Medicine Circles (Cairns and Sydney)
  • A program of fortnightly homework.

These happen over 2-3 weeks and might need repeating again after two months as one’s understanding and conceptualising develop. As much as we all want this experience to pass, this helps provide a meaningful resolution for one, short and long-term.

How to get to know us first:

  • Call Brad – Monday – Saturday – make a time to talk for 30 minutes for free. We’ll discuss where you’re at and what might be options with us and elsewhere for what you are looking for.
  • Come to a MindBody Constellation and see how unresolved individual and ancestral energies can block life and the basics of how find and resolve stuck energies/emotions/confusions.
  • Come to a Medicine Circle and experience the intention setting, the journeying with a drum, chanting and post-journey-analysis with homework if you wish.
  • Zoom Circles – are offered to people who Brad and Caroline have met or have been interviewed.
A typical medicine circle, 5-10 participants.
MindBody Constellations are brilliant at discovering the unknown… and possibly what’s missing in your healing journey!
Private journeying – with eyes closed, drumming, chanting, singing and your intention.
