Understanding the Field

One of the most common questions I receive during clarity calls and when I am sharing about my work is “so, what exactly is “the Field”?” It is something I talk about a lot.

It’s a good question, and one that’s difficult to answer with words alone, because the Field is something you feel.

If I’d have to put it in words, I would say that at its core, it’s a living, relational space that holds information.

It’s not a physical space, but one that exists in a dimension we cannot always see. It is made of energy, information, and consciousness. It exists beyond logic, language, linear time, and the usual ways we try to “figure things out.” It holds all we are, our body, lineage, past lives and soul all as one interconnected whole.

It’s not all woo-woo though.

Quantum physics describes a unified field, a fabric of reality where everything is in constant relationship and where observation can influence outcomes. The work of physicist David Bohm also points to an “undivided wholeness” beneath the visible world, an implicate order where everything is already connected.

Morphic resonance, proposed by biologist Rupert Sheldrake, suggests that energetic fields hold the collective memory of families, cultures, species, even entire lineages. These fields shape how experiences echo across time. Think archetypes and the collective unconscious as well. Family Constellations, developed by Bert Hellinger, works primarily in this morphogenetic field and helps reveal unconscious dynamics, loyalties, and inherited trauma that shape how we move through the world.

Research in epigenetics supports the idea that trauma and stress can be transmitted across generations through changes in gene expression, often affecting behavior, emotional patterns, and health. This is why ancestral trauma can be inherited… and why healing can ripple backward and forward through a lineage, restoring what’s been interrupted.

Your body is not separate from this field; it’s actually one of the clearest ways the Field speaks.

Breath, posture, subtle shifts in your nervous system all reveal what’s being held in your implicit memory. Neuroscience shows that trauma often lives below conscious awareness, stored in the body’s survival responses.

Then there’s the layer that goes even deeper, what I think of as the Soul Field.

This field connects you to the essence of who you are, your purpose, your spiritual orientation, and the energetic contracts or imprints you carry. Shamanic traditions describe illness or imbalance as disruptions in soul connection or energy flow, and modern transpersonal psychology supports the idea that subtle energetic patterns shape wellbeing and identity.

In this space, we listen for soul-level information such as karmic imprints, ancestral cords, soul contracts, disruptions in spiritual alignment, or places where your essence has fragmented or hidden itself for safety.

When one figuratively “opens the field,” the Field responds to what’s alive in the moment and reveals what’s ready to be seen, felt, released, or reclaimed.

This is where horses become extraordinary partners in all work that involves the Field.

Horses communicate nonverbally, attuning very quickly and accurately to the Field, and respond instantly to shifts in energy. They offer attuned, honest feedback through their pure presence and energetic sensitivity. Their coherent, grounded nervous systems invite regulation and safety, allowing our own system to settle and thus allowing us to tune into the field.

They live in complex social herds, naturally tracking relational dynamics. They sense hierarchy, shifts in emotion, and subtle tension within a group. In constellation work, horses begin to represent family members or hidden family patterns, helping bring generational influences to the surface so they can be acknowledged, disentangled, and transformed. Their attunement to the ancestral field is impeccable.

It is truly something that needs to be witnessed and experienced to feel its power.

Everyone has the capability to tune into the Field. It is an art and a skill that can be practiced and attuned. There are infinite possibilities in the Field!
