Systemic Constellations are an innovative method for removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence in our lives.
Systemic Constellations reveal the compassionate intention behind every communication and every action within our relationships and families.
Have you ever experienced any sort of intransigent stuckness? Feelings of Suffering, with a capital ‘S’? Sometimes we do the most elegant NLP work (or years of really excellent therapy, or really high quality energetic shifting or….) and yet we still stay stuck. What is going on? How is this possible?
Perhaps you’ve had an experience of just not understanding what is going on. Weirdly repeating patterns, emotional states, and even illnesses happen that just don’t seem to relate to the circumstances of your life.
Chances are some sort of family loyalty entanglement is going on. These hidden patterns of tribal belonging, patterns of love and loyalty that we call your “emotional inheritance” sometimes get twisted and then repeat in our lives in ways that are not supportive of our well-being. Worse yet, reaching (energetically) beyond your generation in a loving attempt to solve an ancestor’s trauma does absolutely nothing for the tribe but instead creates blocks. That makes the lived experience pretty dysfunctional and creates Suffering.
Family Constellation work is an immensely powerful and healing form of soul work. When you attend an evening you will experience:
- Insight and understanding of the real dynamics at play in a system. Who is being loyal to whom? Who might have been excluded? What elements are impacting the system and how is that affecting lives?
- Re-solution of inappropriate loyalty. Once the mystery has been, at least a little, revealed, and the facilitator has some insight into who or what is going on beneath the surface, representatives will be asked to speak statements that acknowledge the facts of the dynamics that are already happening. These statements are sometimes difficult for our socialized selves to accept, but once the facts have been stated the air begins to clear, the pressure goes out of the system, and the entanglements begin to unravel.
- Massive and multi-dimensional healing for the family soul. When excluded members or aspects of the system have been identified and re-included and when people have accepted their place in the system, taken their rightful responsibilities, and given up the things they have held on to that are not theirs, the orders of love and belonging in the system shift to a strong and supportive place, and the system undergoes a powerful regeneration.
What happens:
We meet as a group with 15 – 20 participants. Each participant who would like to be the focus person for a constellation briefly describes their situation in a sentence or two. This provides a sense for the facilitator of which constellations will serve the experience of the group best for the evening.
We usually set up two or three constellations in an evening where participants support each other by volunteering as representatives in each other’s constellations. The learning for all participants is supported by witnessing the dynamics and resolutions in other people’s constellations in the way it translates to their world.
Being a representative is a transformational experience that opens us up to the surprising connections we have to others. Even just being there as a witness can provide insights and transformational shifts. And, of course, being in the focus seat gives us direct experiential access to the specific situation that is challenging.
