Just about everyone has excluded family members in their ancestral line. Excluded members are often:

• Any member who made a great sacrifice for the family. Examples include babies who were aborted, miscarried or died in infancy,  children who were given up for adoption because the parents could not afford to care for them, a son who doesn’t marry in order to care for an unwell sibling.

•  A family member who was treated unfairly, examples are someone who was denied their inheritance, a child born out of wedlock and not acknowledge by its father, a daughter who is disowned because she marries out of her faith.

•  Someone who had a difficult fate, including orphans, victims of violence, a tragic or early death.

• Someone who left their place for someone else to fill, for example the eldest son dies, and the younger brother inherits in his place; there is a former spouse due to divorce or death and their partner remarries.

An excluded family member doesn’t have to be someone who broke the rules and was cast out in disgrace. Sometimes the pain of losing a loved one is so great that the surviving members can’t bear to face their grief and try to carry on as if nothing had happened. Not facing their loss can lead to the deceased relative being inadvertently excluded.

When there is an excluded family member, there is a void in the family system and other members feel compelled by the Family Conscience to take the excluded member’s place in an unconscious effort to fill that void. This is called identification. Identification generally develops in early childhood, but the consequences may not manifest until adulthood.

 If you’d like to find out  how identifications can show up and how you may be able to recognize them in your own family join me on the

Now, let’s look at another basic principle of family patterns: how energy flows through your family system.

The first thing to keep in mind is that energy flows like a waterfall down through the generations. Each generation passes on its life-energy to the next generation, on and on throughout time. Each generation holds and supports the next generation and in this way the family system thrives.

Bert Hellinger, who developed Family Constellation Therapy, talks about “taking” your parents as an essential element in receiving all of the life-energy that flows down through your family line.  In Hellinger’s parlance, to “take” means to receive and accept your parents just as they are, unconditionally.

Oftentimes, we want to receive from our parents only that which we think is good. We embrace their good qualities and reject their bad qualities. But just as you cannot choose which particles of air to breathe, you cannot pick and choose which part of your parents you receive. You must breathe in order to survive and if the air is polluted, you cannot hold your breath for long, or choose to breathe only the clean particles and not the dirty. You have to take it all in and do the best you can with what is available.

 What you resist, persists …

This is the same with your parents. All that was in your parents is also in you. To reject any part of your parents is to reject a part of yourself — and to reject life itself. The more you reject your parents, the greater the likelihood that you will be like them.  This may explain why children of alcoholics are at a higher risk of becoming alcoholics themselves, despite their vows to never be like their parents.

There are many reasons why one might not take their parents, but the result is always the same: cutting yourself off from the full stream of life-energy that flows to you. As adults, these children commonly experience unexplained feelings of emptiness, anger, physical illness, addictions, depression, feeling stuck or stagnant, and lack inner peace.

Some people are afraid to “take” one or both of their parents and with good reason. When a parent is abusive, neglectful, violent, or has abandoned you, the natural response is to want to protect yourself from the pain that their actions have caused you. And for some people it really is best to have no contact with their family members.

But even if you move half-way around the world to get away from your parents, you are still energetically connected to them and are being affected by them. Breaking all physical ties does not break the energetic ties.

So what’s the solution?

How do you resolve “taking” your parents when your instincts tell you to run in the other direction? 

I’ll be answering these questions and more on the Discover Your Hidden Family Patterns Global Teleconference on Monday, February 27, 2012 at 8:00 pm Eastern Time.

Let’s start with the basics — The energy patterns that you inherit from your biological family.

Even if you never knew your biological family the energy patterns that you inherited from them are still playing out in your life right now. The same is true whether you maintain close contact with your family or move half-way around the world to get away from them, you are still energetically connected to them and being affected by them.

Everyone has strong and invisible energetic ties to their biological family system. You unconsciously store information about each member of your family system, even if you never met them and have no conscious knowledge of them.

Whatever you’re struggling with in your life, taking a look at your Family Patterns can be the key that opens the door to  your greater health, wealth and fulfillment.

Money problems? Look to your family patterns.  • Health issues? Look to your family patterns. •  Relationship issues? Look to your family patterns. Weight issues? Work issues? Well, you get the idea…

This unconscious storehouse of information is called the Family Conscience. In addition to containing all of the information about each family member, your Family Conscience contains all of the information about what is acceptable in your family and what is not. Think of your Family Conscience as the repository of all the rules by which your family members must live.

You may be relieved to know that you don’t have to do extensive genealogical research to find out every detail of your family history. Even though the contents of your Family Conscience are stored on the unconscious level, there are ways to tap into this hidden cache of information. 

The Family Conscience compels you to act in specific ways in order to feel like an included member of your family. When you act in ways that are contrary to your Family Conscience certain feelings arise such as shame, guilt, anxiety, or unworthiness. Even when you are acting in alignment with your highest and best these negative feelings can crop up for no apparent reason and sabotage you living your purpose in life and reaching your highest potential.

The main thing to remember is that your connection to your Family Conscience and to your family system is unconscious, and it is driven by love. On the unconscious level everyone has a need to be loved and accepted and our most basic need for love is from our own family. Even if during our up-bringing we come to feel that certain family members are not worthy of our love, deep down, on the unconscious level we still crave their love and acceptance. Everyone does.

Right now in this stage of humanity’s evolution of consciousness, we are being asked to evolve past our individual and collective family systems – past our parents, grandparents and ancestors into a higher consciousness of Oneness. This is why this information is so important right now. Because even though the new energy is supporting us in moving forward, we still have these unconscious ties that may be compelling us to stay in struggle and limitation.

As you can imagine, this yearning to evolve while at the same time needing to stay safe within your family’s rules can create turmoil and inner conflict. So what can you do?

In my last post I told you about my saga with the excruciatingly slow Internet connection. Since I was trying to send an email about the “Get Unstuck Winter Seasonal Repatterning” it got me thinking about the different Water Element qualities. In this post I’m going to break it down for you so you can recognize how the Water Element plays out in your own life.

When I got up on Sunday morning I had a clear idea of what I wanted to accomplish. I had three emails I wanted to write and send. After that, the day was mine to do whatever I pleased, or even nothing at all.

So far so good. I was clear on what I wanted. Clarity is a positive quality of your Water Element energy. Setting a clear intention is powerful stuff because it gives your energy a container and a direction in which to flow.

But then my Internet speed bogged down. Things took a lot longer than I planned; but I decided to power through and try and get my work done anyway.

OK. I had perseverance – another Water Element quality. On the positive side perseverance is great. It’s that stick-to-it-iveness that gets things done even in the face of hardship and challenge. And everyone knows that the ability to flow around obstacles is a key component of success.

But on the negative side, perseverance can get you stuck in a rut. It can be stubborn, obstinate, and unchanging. It’s the fuel that feeds your bad habits.  

Sometimes it’s hard to see when you’ve crossed that line. This is why the ability to overcome resistance and adapt to changing circumstances are essential qualities of a balanced Water Element. When your Water Element energy is balanced you instinctively flow with life’s changes.

Was I aligned with the positive quality of perseverance or was I just being stubborn?

Then I did what any good Facebooker does, I asked my friends, “Anybody else noticing that the ‘Net is incredibly slow?” All of the responses said, “Yes!” OK. So now I know. It’s not just me. I’ll keep plugging away.

This is where I kind of went off track. Putting it out on Facebook demonstrates the Water Element quality of accessing and using your resources.

But what did my FB friends know about MY Internet connection? Were they the best resource I had? Why not go right to the source and call my Internet provider? That’s exactly what I did, but not after my connection further slowed to a trickle.

On the upside I can say that throughout this saga I was reminding myself to breathe, be patient, release tension and relax. At least I had the wisdom to not let this experience drain me. The ability to contain your reserves is another very important Water Element quality.

By now you may have guessed the Water Element is all about flow. How do you direct your energy and use your power and will to get things done?  Fear is the Water Element emotion. I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “frozen by fear.” Fear kills flow.  Then you get stuck in stagnation and lethargy.

So next time you come up against those stuck places think about how you are directing your Water energy. Are you in struggle and over-effort? Can you overcome your resistance and get things moving again without draining yourself and exhausting your reserves?

If you’re ready to get moving again, then look to the Water Element to get back into the flow with ease and grace.

I’d love to hear from you. How are you experiencing your Water Element energy these days? Post your answer below.

I was hoping to post this yesterday, but alas, it was not to be. You see, I was having Internet problems. My connection was sooo slow; I’m talking 1997 dial-up slow.

Instead of getting off the computer and going for a walk, I decided to try to power through and get my work done.

What a mistake.

It was a lesson in futility and frustration. But I had a plan and I was going to stick with it, come what may. I mean I only had a few emails to send  so it shouldn’t have taken that long. Right?

Finally, after a few hours, I decided to call my Internet provided to see what was up. I should have called them sooner, but I must have Abandoned Child Karma because asking for help is not one of my strong points.

Anyway, to make a long story short, the phone technician did some remote diagnostics and told me that my signals were messed up (I think that’s the technical term she used) and my bandwidth was only a tiny fraction of what it should be. They’d send out a repairman on Wednesday. So I’d have to live with this excruciatingly slow connection until then.

OK. Cool. Now that I know what it is I can work with that. I’m thinking this is pretty ironic. Here I am trying to send an email about getting unstuck and my Internet connection is stuck!

Then my Internet goes down altogether. So I call them back, speak to another customer service rep who tells me that there’s an outage in my area; they’re working on it and that’s the best they can do.

OK. Cool. Now that I know what’s going on, I can live with that.

But it got me thinking about being stuck and overcoming resistance. And when you’re stuck what do you do? Sometimes the best approach is to use your will and perseverance to get unstuck. And sometimes you just have to wait it out.

And sometimes it’s a combination of both. It feels like that’s where we’re at right now. I’ve been hearing from lots of different people in lots of different fields who feel that things just aren’t moving right now, and they’re getting antsy.

This is why I’m glad to be doing the Get Unstuck Repatterning remote distance healing proxy group session this week. Whether it’s really time to get moving or whether this cosmic holding pattern is going to continue, I can’t say. But I do know that this Repatterning is going to help me either way. If it’s time to get moving, this Repatterning will give me that burst of momentum I need. If it’s time to wait, this Repatterning will give me the clarity and calm to sit tight.

In the Chinese Five Element System winter is the season of the Water Element. And the Water Element is all about flow – the flow of your power, your energy, your money, and even your progress.

Now what happens to the Water in Winter?

It freezes!

And when your water is frozen you feel stuck, unmotivated and unable to move forward. The emotion associated with the Water Element is fear which feeds the stuckness.

When this happens it’s easy to slide back into old habits. The fear sets in and you feel drained and powerless, lacking in energy and resources to get going again.

The Water Element is also about being able to access your intuition and wisdom. When your water energy is balanced you know when to power through and when to rest in the stillness. And you know how to flow around obstacles so they don’t defeat you.

In my next post we’ll look closer at my little Internet adventure from the perspective of the Water Element.

In the meantime, if you could use some support around this issue, check out the Get Unstuck Repatterning distance healing proxy group session that I’ll be facilitating this Wednesday, January 18th.

I know it’s just what I need right now.
