The Link to Roots: What You Really Left Behind When You Migrated

The Link to the Roots: What You Really Left Behind When You Migrated

Your soul is still connected to the energetic field of your land

Honey, let me explain something you may have felt all your life but could never put into words:

**Your roots are not just a poetic metaphor. They are real energetic connections.

When I say this in my family constellation therapy sessions, I see my clients' eyes fill with tears. Because someone is finally validating what they have always known deep down inside.

Rootedness: more than a place, it is your whole identity.

Think for a moment about what it means to be rooted to a place:

When you were rooted, you had:

✨ A clear sense of belonging ("I belong here, this is my place").
Existential security ("I know the rules of this game").
✨ A **seamless identity ("I know who I am").
✨ A natural support network (your aunts, your comadres, your people).
Rituals that ordered your life (fiestas patronales, Sundays with the family, the day of the dead).
An emotional landscape (the smell of rain in your town, the sound of the bells, the taste of water).

Uprooting: what was taken from you when you left.

And now, my love, look what uprooting took from you:

When you migrated, you lost:

💔 Your place in the world ("Where am I really from?")
💔 Your recognized social role ("Back there I was a professional, here I clean houses.")
💔 Your complete language ("Nobody understands your sayings, your jokes, your nuances")
💔 Your emotional landscape (Those smells, colors, sounds that anchored you)
💔 Your tribe (Those who have always known you, those who don't need explanations)
💔 Your visible history (Here nobody knows who you were before)

Migration in systemic terms produces one of the deepest pains a human being can experience, because our identity is built from the territory.

**And this is not weakness. It is biology. It is soul. It is humanity.

The morphogenetic field: the science that explains why you are still connected.

Love, now comes the fascinating part. Rupert Sheldrake, a brilliant British biologist, proposed something revolutionary: the theory of morphogenetic fields. These are invisible fields that connect all members of a system, be it a family, a species, or even an entire culture.

What does this mean for your migrant heart?

It means that there is an invisible field, real and measurable, that connects you to:

🌟 Your family of origin (That's why you know when something happens to your mom even if you haven't spoken in weeks).
🌟 Your native culture (That's why you cry when you hear music from your homeland).
🌟 Your home turf (That's why you dream of walking those streets even if you never go back)
🌟 Your dead ancestors (That's why you feel their presence in important moments)

This explains why:

  • You feel your mother's pain thousands of miles away.
  • Your dreams constantly take you "back home".
  • You never quite feel completely comfortable here
  • Your children, born in this country, carry something from "over there" that they can't explain.

The words that will change your perspective

Stephan Hausner, German master facilitator of systemic constellations and author of the powerful book "Even if it Costs Me My Life," has worked with migrants from all over the world. And this is what he discovered:

"When you are separated from your homeland or your family, a part of your soul can stay there. It's not that you 'have to get over it'. It's that you literally left fragments of your being in the place of origin. " * *"It's that you literally left fragments of your being behind.

Love, read this again. **You are not crazy for feeling like you left something behind. YOU LITERALLY DID.

The reality that no one explains to you

That's why:

You feel you left something important behind.
(because you did: fragments of your soul)

Your dreams constantly take you "back ".
(Your soul seeks to recover those fragments in order to be complete).

You never end up feeling "at home " (Because you are energetically torn between two worlds.
(Because you are energetically divided between two worlds.)

Your relationships become complicated.
(It's hard to love fully when you are not complete.)

You get tired for no apparent reason.
(Your energy goes into maintaining that division).

The hope I come to bring to you

But here's the beautiful truth that I've seen over and over again in my practice:

**Family constellations offer a sacred way to reclaim those soul fragments and feel whole again, no matter where you are physically.

You don't need to physically return to your country to heal. You do not need to give up your new life. **You need to integrate both parts of your being into one unified heart.

And that, my dear migrant, is exactly what we do in our family constellation therapy sessions.

The session was absolutely incredible! I was able to heal a very deep wound... Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. My family constellation session was incredible! I had heard about this kind of modality, but never signed on to receive a session. Well, I've been going deep into my inner work, and it seemed like everywhere I turned I was being nudged to book a session. So I booked, and the session was absolutely incredible! Definitely have your tissues ready! What I loved. The most was some thing that I thought I made peace with showed a completely different side to look at and I was able to heal a very deep wound that really was hurting me personally in my life. Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. She is so easy to talk to, and is so intuitive. I absolutely loved my session, and highly recommend everyone do so!

Amazing deep healing... feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. She is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love. Amazing deep healing: the place within that never was able to move never was clear never had a voice: all was opened up, revealed and spoken with in the healing space Alejandra creates and opens. She is very sweet and safe to share with and very focused on the work and healing that needs to be addressed here and now no matter how back in the generations the issues are located. She is very patient and deeply into feelings: she gave me time to really deeply feel inside and all the places shapes and forms those feelings are within me. She assisted me in speaking more clearly with myself. She gave me many suggestions for integration and deeper embrace of the work done in session. i feel very complete and very supported and free to return to her for more work if I choose to. I am gonna choose. All the power in my life is mine to choose and direct and show up in. It was fun, tender, deeply healing; feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. It will take some time for what was done in such a short time to move and dance and reveal. Again, I feel supported and safe and clear in the process I am in. I am grateful for Alejandra. My experience is she is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love that she offers.

I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me... I'll be forever thankful. I'm so thankful for having found Alejandra and have her guide me through my journey to healing. Having had unpleasant and unhelpful experiences with therapy and psychoanalysis before, I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me get control over my anxiety, overcome childhood trauma and connect with spirituality. I have been able to find a way to forgive and love myself and with this love all those around me. She helped me rebuild self confidence that have made a big difference in my personal and professional life. I know feel like I have the tools to deal with life's difficulties and find enjoyment in every day. I'll be forever thankful.

I've worked with her on many aspects of my life, and thanks to her support, I'm beginning to achieve dreams that once seemed impossible. She listens with empathy, delves deeply without judgment, knows how to guide you where you need to go, and you feel she truly cares. I'll never tire of thanking her for her presence in my life.

Pearl Y. USA

I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words. It took me years to find someone that I can trust about my personal life. I tried different therapists that only wanted to give me medication for my anxiety during the first session. However, Alejandra never give up on me and I was able to open myself about my childhood problems that I carried my whole life. I speak Spanish and English, but when I tried talking about my childhood in English, it was hard to express myself and finding someone that can speak Spanish was plus in my journey. I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words.

I've found each session to be profoundly moving... The time and experience has felt sacred to me. I've attended 3 sessions with Alejandra and Jay. I've found each session to be profoundly moving in a unique way. The time and experience has felt sacred to me, and that would not be possible without the care and supportive attention of the facilitators. I would recommend them to anyone interested in growth and prepared for a challenge.

I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality... I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container. Let's face it, meeting our challenges head on and create change in our life is not always an easy task. Nor is the direction always clear and comfortable. To gain more insights and discover the root cause of issues there's a way. Throughout the years, I have involved myself in many healing practices. I wanted to live a life that I could thrive in rather than survive in. I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality for this. It has really assisted me to dive deep within myself. I have created more understanding, peace, love, balance, and harmony in my life with a way that I feel is efficient, has grace, dignity, empathy, and compassion. My experience with Jay and Ale was very positive. I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container to do the work needed. I found them to be extremely passionate and excellent teachers and guides with this process. I look forward to experiencing more Family Constellations Therapy Workshops with them. Here's to being unlimited!
