Disturbances to the Orders of Love in previous generations will inevitably affect the lives of both concurrent and future generations. When this profound influence is understood, individual suffering is revealed in a whole new light – and so is healing.
This is the website of the teacher, trainer and facilitator Shavasti, also known as the author of four books under the name John L. Payne. After more than two decades of working with Family Constellations and working with thousands of individuals and hundreds of groups , Shavasti has integrated his ancestral healing work, energy medicine, Shamanic Practice and other approaches to assisting others to realize the truth of their authentic selves, into a body of work inclusive of Family Constellations and other approaches to healing.
Shavasti’s deep exploration into the truth of who we are, both collectively and as individuals is available to you as a healing journey in gatherings, workshops, privately in your location or one on one over Skype.

Introduction to the work of Family Constellations
In working with several thousand family systems, Bert Hellinger has uncovered what he describes as the age-old Orders of Love, which are deeply embedded in the unconscious of family groups.
Disturbances in the Orders of Love, caused by traumas, wars, family secrets and excluded individuals can have a profound effect on individuals, current and future generations.
When this profound influence is understood and felt, suffering is revealed and brought to light, along with healing.
A key tool for restoring the Orders of Love in a client’s family system is John L. Payne’s (Shavasti) unique application of the Family Constellation method into what he now calls – Movements of the Heart. Workshop participants may have the opportunity to experience their own personal work and serve as representatives in other participants’ personal work — an experience that is in itself powerful.
John L. Payne (Shavasti) – Author, Facilitator, Trainer, Healer

Discover how within simplicity is the power to transform. Discover how you have all of the resources within you to bring about your own experience of the world. Now imagine a workshop process that can deliver real change and assist you to discover what you may have only imagined being possible – to change how you feel, transform the tune of your life, alter what you see.
The rich tapestry of Family Constellation work will help you to discover the power of working with your Ancestral Heritage to transform what you see manifest in your life, the unsettled inner dialogue and the feelings of discomfort.

The Language of the Soul
Shavasti’s teachings are simple: Healing takes place when we are willing to tell the absolute truth, devoid of masks and pretences. Simple truth is like oxygen, with it we thrive, without it, we suffocate in our stories. Simple truth is the Soul’s domain, whilst complex stories belong to the fearful ego. In order to heal, we need to want peace much more than to be right about something.

Teachings from an Awakened Heart – Audio Book
11 Chapters, 5 hours
Shavasti’s ‘Teachings from an Awakened Heart’ is a sound investment. As a spiritual teacher, and committed student of life and God, Shavasti provides what one may experience as something akin to a rich individual session in the form of meditations and guided reflections. Addressing so many levels, Shavasti (aka John L. Payne), is not afraid to use the term “God” and conversely is unafraid of challenging those who linger only in the God realm, critical of and completely detached from all of the teachers available to us as ‘relational beings’. He gently suggests the tragedy of seeing human beings without the inclusion of that which is greater than flesh and bone.
In Teachings from an Awakened Heart, Shavasti provides a transparent personal history which includes harrowing experiences including a horrific home invasion with a gun being held to his head; with a generous soul, Shavasti shares the deep soul initiation and the journey that transpired as a result. A friend of life and death, Shavasti’s humble assertion is that he is not a unique or rare ‘Awakened heart’ but that he is in the process of Awakening. Encouraging us to work, live and love with an ‘awakened heart’ Shavasti proposes that this place, perspective, and paradigm, is the place that introduces the grace of surrender, while in a practical sense preventing burn-out for those who work with healing and being in service. Part poetry, part prose, Teachings from an Awakened Heart is engaging and encouraging. Giving everything a place, Shavasti introduces an expanse of soul which would be a benefit for any human being.
