How It Works

How does a constellation work?

A family constellation is essentially a group process, although it can be carried out in private sessions with very good results. Sessions can be held once a year or a few months apart as you wish. A session for one person may last from one hour to few minutes.

In few sentences, you express what is troubling in your life or in your relationships.

Depending on your request, you choose from among the group, some people to represent some members of your family or some other system you want to work on, e.g. a business team. In a private session, figurines or objects are used instead of representatives.

You choose participants from the group to represent members of your family or some other system (e.g.business team) that you want to work on.

After choosing your representatives, you set them up in relation to each other including yourself into an empty space in the room called “ constellation”.

The representatives in the constellation collect themselves and pay attention to their perceptions (physical sensations, need to move, feelings).

They do not verbalize personal opinions or judgments but they simply follow the movement that comes to them spontaneously. They move as they feel and allow thing to be the way they are.

These movements require very little verbal or physical intervention, either by the facilitator or by the participants

Each person’s movement should be slow and deeply felt. When these movements are allowed to follow their natural course through to their natural completion, they lead to healing.

The hidden dynamic of a problem is drawn out and leads to a resolution that includes what had previously been excluded and reunites what has been separated.

We see our family from a limited point of view. During a constellation the hidden dynamic of a family is revealed, bringing back together what had been separated, eluded or excluded.

The root of many problems comes from the fact that someone or something hasn’t been seen or acknowledged within us or our family system.

The Family constellation work counteracts the negative consequences of the past on your existence. It liberates you from hidden suffering in your family system and allows you to put an end to unconscious destructive patterns and find your true place and live your life fully.

What is brought to light resonates deeply within you and sets into motion the necessary energies to restore balance into your life.

After a constellation you will experience inner relief often immediately. In some cases it takes more time to integrate what has been seen. The time that may be needed depends on each person rhytm

Important questions to ask yourself:

- What are the important facts that have marked your family history?

- Who was forgotten, rejected, excluded, deceased, mistreated, abandoned in your biological or actual family? (Aborted child or still born babies, lost twin, disabled person, biological parent of adoptive child, war comrades , victim, culprit,…)

- Who was killed or killed someone?

- What issues would you like to resolve?

- What do you truly want now in your life?
