Transformation
There is a theme that touches most people at some point — and that is still little understood. The relationship with the father. Not the relationship one can describe. The relationship that sits in the body, in behavior, in the patterns that repeat again and again — without one knowing where they come from.
From the perspective of Andean energy medicine, this relationship has a dimension that goes beyond the psychological. They are contracts — energetic and emotional. And they determine more of our life than we think. ## What an Energetic Contract Is In Andean cosmology there is the concept that we do not choose our parents by chance. Before we come into this body, there is a kind of agreement — karmic, of the soul, whatever one wishes to call it.
This agreement determines which limitations and which abilities we receive through our father. Fifty percent of our DNA — and with it a part of our consciousness, our patterns, our life themes. That does not mean the father is to blame for everything. It means there is an energetic connection that is not simply dissolved through distance or understanding.
This connection has no time. The father can be dead for years — and the connection is still active. It knows no conclusion. ## How the Contract Forms It does not begin in childhood. It begins in the womb.
When we were still there, we perceived the emotional world of our mother. Her sadness, her loneliness, her relationship to the father. Many mothers felt alone back then — the father was away, working, not present. That is the first experience we have with the father: through the eyes of the mother, before we have even seen him.
Then come the first years of life. From zero to three, the patterns confirm themselves. The father is there or not there. He gives security or not.
He sees us or he does not. I remember my own childhood — my father came home at six or seven in the evening. I was already in bed. He carried me in, his voice accompanied me into sleep.
During the day I did not see him. That was the relationship. And that relationship left patterns I could only begin to understand much later. ## The Emotional Contracts There are two kinds of emotional contracts. What you did not receive from your father.
And what you did not say to your father. No love. No attention. No security.
No protection. No sense of worth. No time — not physical absence, but emotional. The father was there, but not truly there.
As adults we carry this unconscious claim onward. Sometimes I meet people over sixty who are still in the victim role toward their father — even though he has not been alive for years. Because the space in which this contract exists follows a different time. Not linear time.
A time in a circle — an eternal present in which the childhood is still happening. ## The Three Roles In Andean work we see three roles in which we act toward the father. The victim — I suffer because he was that way. The judge — he was wrong, I deserved more. The rescuer — I have to forgive him, I have to understand him, I have to hold the family together.
Each of these roles keeps the contract alive. Because in each of these roles there is a bond — expectation, judgment, obligation. And bonds follow no time. ## How These Contracts Show Up in Life In relationship patterns. In the way one deals with authority.
In self-worth — because the father is the first instance that shows us whether we have worth. In the relationship to money, to security, to achievement. In the body: in tension in the neck, in exhaustion, in chronic patterns without a clear physical cause. The patterns change when the contract dissolves.
Not because one talks about it — but because the energetic bond is released. That requires work on a level deeper than understanding. In Andean medicine there are concrete tools for this. Rituals to harmonize the relationship with the father.
Work on the energy field, on the programs that have settled in. And the work of perspective — looking from an angle that is neither victim nor judge. This work is a lifelong task. Not because it never ends, but because it goes layer by layer.
And with each layer that dissolves, life changes — not only for you, but also for what comes after you. If you wish to go deeper in this direction, you will find a framework for this work in a one-on-one session.
