Some ECL Folks:
Judith Hemming
The Field: In Family Constellation Work, "the field" refers to felt-sense access to consciousness in which the dynamics and relationships within a family system are explored and understood. This concept is rooted in the idea that there is an interconnectedness and energy that flows between family members, impacting their behaviors, emotions, and relationships. The field is believed to hold information about an individual's and family's history, unresolved traumas, and hidden dynamics, which can be revealed and addressed through the Constellation process.
"Maslow before Bloom": The idea is that the hierarchy of needs have to be met before students can meet educational goals.
Ho'oponopono:
Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian practice for reconciliation and forgiveness, aimed at resolving conflicts within individuals or groups. It involves expressing feelings, listening empathetically, and seeking forgiveness to restore harmony and balance. It's also used as a personal healing practice, emphasizing taking responsibility for one's experiences and seeking inner peace through forgiveness.
