Diabetes as a symptom of blind love

Louise Hay defines the probable root cause for diabetes as “longing for what might have been and a deep sorrow”. 

When my client told me that he was diagnosed with high sugar levels(464) and that diabetes is a recurring illness in his family, we knew we had to place this in a constellation session. And what showed up was a multi-layered session. Diabetes turned out to be an unborn child who was unacknowledged and the client’s symptoms were indicative of  a deep longing for his parents.

When an unborn child(aborted or miscarried, known or unknown) is not acknowledged and not given a place in the family, the unborn child feels excluded. And then, out of blind love, one of the living children(in the same or future generations) subconsciously becomes entangled with that unborn child and tries to include the child in the family.

Additionally, when a child loses his parents early on in life, the loss leaves a huge void. The child can fill the void in any way, but the deep seated desire to belong, to be loved and to be seen by the parents does not go away. 

In this case, the client was subconsciously trying to include the unborn child(who longed to be seen and acknowledged) as well as trying to stay connected to his parents(who died early) by carrying their illness(diabetes) with him. This is what we do out of blind love for our family. This is what we do to belong.

In the constellation, both the parents were feeling empty, and it was clear that they also needed to be seen and acknowledged by their respective parents. The lack of love in their lives had created a void in them. And the client carried this void as well. Once again, he was being loyal to his parents by carrying their emptiness. This is the hidden loyalty of a child to his parents. “How can I have a better life if you couldn’t?”, feels the child subconsciously.

With appropriate movement and expression, the constellation came to a resolution with the unborn child(diabetes) being acknowledged and included. This constellation also helped the client understand and give back all that he was blindly carrying for his parents, which was not serving him and his current family. 

After two weeks of this constellation, the client reports normal sugar levels, as well as a better lifestyle routine. He is more conscious of his eating habits and is taking better care of himself now.
