If your family/household egregor has developed a particular undesirable quality that seems to pull new members into a problematic pattern, what is the best way to go about changing it?
To give more context, I think this egregor was established in my birth family, and when my husband and I married and moved back to my natal home to take care of my father at the end of his life, I think I fell back into it and now my husband seems to have settled into it as well. We’ve noticed that family members and friends who have moved in with us for extended periods have also been caught by its gravity, and we would like to free ourselves from its inertia and prevent it from sucking in our children.
(This perhaps makes it sound pretty dire, but overall our family and household is very loving, stable, and fortunate—but I fear this one particular pattern has the potential to sour things if it’s not uprooted.)
