Friends for Life: An Emerging Biology of Emotional Healing - New York Times

[BARNETT WEISS]

While this article is certainly interesting and supportive of the experience that many of us have had with fine tuned auxiliary egos and ourselves as we work with protagonists, there are many other places where this comes into play at a distance. This connectivity has been demonstrated many times over great distance ( an example is the experiment where nuns prayed regularly for a group of post heart atack patients at  the time that the group was meeting unaware of the nuns praying for them in another part of the country) and can play a part in the work as well. I have led sessions where one of the support persons wished for was not able to be present and they instead sent a bundle or some artifact that represented them to be used during the session. The person playing them as well as the protagonist at times would hold the artifact and often would tune into things that had not ever been mentioned by the protagonist previously.  This same sort of thing seems to happen quite
 regularly in the so called "knowing field" in the Hellinger work where the auxiliaries are not trained and are simply placed in the immediate sculpture with little or even no information coming from the protagonist other than their having placed the person in a particular relationship to the others representing the particular social atom that is being explored.  
  There is something that we have all lost and can recover rapidly through attention and training which as Ed and I subsequent to Ed's suggestion have noted is examined so thoroughly in Derrick Jensen's book "A Language Older Than Words."  Eugene Marais in his book, The Soul of the Ape" published posthumously by Marais' son demonstrates this in great detail putting young Aboriginals into a hypnotic trance state in which they were able to access senses that they never had known before and could not reproduce conciously at least without any further training. 
   
  Blessings, all, Bud

  Thanks for passing this on! I continue to be very
interested in any information that adds to my
understanding about why the attuned, "hands on" of my
use of psychomotor therapy with psychodrama, has such
amazing and immediate long range results. Georgia
