A Visualization by Bert Hellinger.
Now we will do an exercise together. Just close your eyes. The decisive experience of separation is always the experience of separation from our mother, away from our mother. This is very early, an early trauma that has its effects on our whole life.
We imagine our mother in front of us at some distance, and we look into her eyes. We sense how on the one hand we are waiting, and on the other hand, inside, we say no. Nearly everyone has gone through experience.
Now it is important that we find a good way to overcome this distance. We succeed in this with one short word: Yes. We keep saying it inside, until our whole body resonates with this yes. When it does, we take the first step towards her. In spite of the fears, in spite of the disappointment perhaps, in spite of the deep pain: Yes mummy. And we take the first step. And the a second one, and again a short one. With each step we experience inside ourselves how our I remains behind, and the you comes closer to us, until in the end, when we have found our way back to our mother, our I dissolves in the you.
Arrived there with our mother, what a relief, whole again at last.
