For millennia, cultures around the globe have known that there\u2019s more to us than meets the eye and that our family trees really are a map to ourselves \u2014 an energetic portrait of our lives.
\xa0
Today, epigenetics has proven that what our ancestors experienced can imprint on our genes and impact our lives today in unexpected ways.\xa0
\xa0
That depression, anxiety, stress or limiting belief? It might be from long ago.
\xa0
And the field of psychology is finally catching up with this.\xa0
\xa0
A new methodology I just discovered (and got the chance to try as a client) is called Family Constellation work.\xa0
\xa0
In this method, we find unconscious experiences and beliefs that we\u2019re carrying from our ancestors \u2014 including those who we never knew \u2014 and work to transform them through awareness and compassion.

On the podcast this week, I talked with my Family Constellation practitioner, Emily Blefeld, about what Family Constellation work is, how our family history affects our lives today and how we can clear blocks and dismantle generational cycles by being bold and brave enough to look at what happened before we were even here.
\xa0
It\u2019s not that different from what we do with parts work in The Adult Chair\xae, except instead of working with parts of ourselves we\u2019re working with parts of our family tree! It\u2019s SO freaking cool!
\xa0
Listen to discover:
How our family history impacts our present reality
The way our ancestors' patterns create patterns for us today
What Family Constellation work is and how it works
How to heal trauma and clear blocks through Family Constellation work
Using Family Constellation work for business, non-biological relatives and more
The cool thing about epigenetics is that it describes a tendency, not a fate. These experiences don\u2019t change our DNA; they change the way our genes express themselves.
\xa0
That means we get a choice in how these generational traumas will manifest in our lives.
\xa0
We don\u2019t have to agree with the beliefs and experiences of our ancestors. We can look them in the face and decide they stop with us.\xa0
\xa0
And there\u2019s no transformation more powerful than that \u2013 for ourselves and generations to come.

\u201cWe are victim to our lineage.\u201d - Michelle Chalfant\xa0
\xa0
\u201cWhat\u2019s unconscious will continue to permeate our lives until it\u2019s made conscious.\u201d - Emily Blefeld
\xa0
\u201cWe actually carry the victims and the perpetrators in our inherited lineage.\u201d - Emily Blefeld
\xa0
\u201c[Family Constellation work] is predominantly a therapy that looks at the system that we walk around with.\u201d - Emily Blefeld
\xa0
\u201cConstellation work is less interested in what is causing the symptom, and they\u2019re more interested in who is the symptom.\u201d - Emily Blefeld
