What are Systemic Constellations?
Systemic and Family Constellation is a method of therapy that looks into personal and family issues, where the work one does individually can bring about an effect on other people in your family and your relationships with them. This offers a real opportunity for healing and transformation on a collective level. The process aims to bring to light unconscious events, often with previous generations in your family that may be the key to difficulties or a longing you’re experiencing in your life now. These could manifest as depression, addictions, mental or physical illness, difficulty in maintaining relationships, etc. The family system seems to have a conscience that requires it to be in order and balanced, and there are forces that operate within it to ensure that things move towards finding that. It’s like finding a knot in the weave of your family history, and following the thread to loosen it, allowing you to find more flow and freedom in your life.
This ultimately results in a sense of coming home to yourself again, untangled from the influence of that event, person or situation.
There is much to be said about Rupert Sheldrake’s work around morphic and morphogenetic fields when it comes to how Constellations work, but it is still a mystery to a large degree! In Quantum or Spiritual Constellations – according to Bert Hellinger’s later work – all involved surrender to the Movement of Spirit, beyond the realm of the personal and the collective system. Constellations work is playing an important part in the major shift happening in human consciousness at this time, as we move from an old individualistic approach to life to one where we truly see that all is inter-connected, across time and space.
What happens in a Constellation session?
Both in person and online, whether 1:1 (or a couple) or in a group setting, constellations are equally effective. You choose an issue to work with and present it to the facilitator, who you’d be sitting next to if it’s in person. If you’re in a group setting, people from the group are chosen to represent family members, abstract concepts, parts of oneself, etc. related to that issue. The representatives step into the field, the space where the constellation is happening, and wait for a feeling, a sensation, a movement, words, to come through to them. It is not a matter of doing these things; it is waiting for them to arise in you. All that arises in this field is connected to the person’s family system and through the constellation we are allowing unconscious realities to come to light. Seeing a constellation unfold and move situations leaves a profound impression on the person who presented the issue and is being constellated for. The ripple effect of this work unravels over time to create deep and lasting transformation.
When you embrace the perspective of Family Constellations as a way or philosophy to live by, it can completely transform your life, bringing greater flow and ease, better relationships with others and with all that is.
Unlike most other family constellations experiences, working with me includes a dive into your dreams and using creative expression through Art Therapy principles, as well as ritual.
No prior experience is required.
