Our perspective on Bert Hellinger's Family Constellation method is grounded in our training with the Bert Hellinger Institute USA and from more than 15 years of extensive experience learning, teaching and practicing Energy Healing.

The family has a larger energy field that encapsulates it. This energy field if often visualized as concentric circles. The first circle starts with the individual then moves out to include parents and siblings, grandparents and their siblings, with the flow continuing outward through each generation to form more circles, like planets around the sun.

Our approach to working this way in constellations follows the principle of healing which states that all energetic systems seek a state of balance to be healthy. In nature, individuals and groups have an unconscious and continual desire to achieve a state of equilibrium. Whether working in individual sessions or with group constellations, our approach helps bring imbalances to light and restores equilibrium through awareness.

How it works :

Every individual possesses a unique energy field which shifts and fluctuates depending on their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. As facilitators we follow the energy of both the person presenting their issue as well as the overall group to determine the direction that each constellation takes. This energetic and intuitive awareness helps us to facilitate a deeper internal movement and healing process for the client's constellation. At the start of our workshops, we ask the group to assist us in setting sacred ritual space. First, we create a circle of energy that is channeled through each of the participants. Second, the space is cleared of stagnant or negative energies by performing a simple blessing of the space with traditional and uncommon prayers, poetry, song, silent meditation, or guided imagery that calls forth our own ancestors. We sit together with reverence as we invite our intention, our truth and our integrity to be present for this deeply personal journey.

For those with little or no experience in such work, we teach how to become an open vessel for direct knowing so that you can receive information that is normally not accessible. Through centeredness, participants become ready to assist each other in the constellation simply by being present.

Overall health in the family energy field can be observed when the constellation is set up, much like that of a living family tree. As we look at the energy of representatives within the constellation, further insights into the system’s imbalances are gained. From this observation point, we begin to see where movement is needed in order for the client to create balance.

A re-creation of the family energy field is almost instantaneously apparent when a constellation is set up. This approach works because participants agree to enter into a larger experience of consciousness than is generally available. Each representative appears able to tap into the individual energy field of the person they are representing and report how that person feels, and even acts, towards others in the group. This phenomenon (that which is experienced but can't be explained) is part of the greater mystery of life and consciousness that makes the Constellation Approach so powerful to experience. There is knowledge that is available to us when we allow ourselves to go beyond our mental understanding of life's events and situations. When we allow ourselves to open up and to let go of ideas, thoughts or formulas, and to surrender…it is then that our perception intensifies, the unknown becomes known, a deeper truth is found, and the next step appears.
