It is clear that a part of our pain, anxiety, and unhappiness regarding relationships, work and money, even illness, comes from issues caused by entanglements that have evolved in our own family over many generations. Mysteriously, our soul has the capacity to record tragic and unusual events that have burdened our ancestors throughout time, often without our conscious knowledge of them. During our own life, something remarkable happens: out of deep unconscious love and solidarity with another relative, we begin to bear their burden, which was never ours in the first place.

This identification process is at the core of what is called entanglement, and the pain resulting from it becomes the clue to our healing.

In this work, we are guided through the process of uncovering, rediscovering, and finally coming to terms with this innate yet forgotten knowledge. Such resolution allows us not only to let go of the past and find peace at a profound level, but at a practical level as well, to open the door to new dimensions of personal power and energy. Once the formerly hidden flow of love has been released, we start experiencing fulfilling relationships and are in turn able to better help others in their healing process.

The clients pick participants of the workshop to represent themselves, their relatives, and other relevant relationships. The client leads each representative to a place in the room, placing the family members in relation to one another, matching the inner, instinctual picture she or he carries of the family. The use of representatives allows for objectivity and a free and full expression in a given situation.

Once the constellation is established, an extraordinary phenomenon begins to emerge very quickly: each representative starts experiencing the feelings, thoughts, reactions, and body sensations of the specific person they represent. This is a spontaneous process coming out of each representative's soul and heart, defying all rules of logic and reasoning.

The Family Constellation process helps us become aware of hidden, unconscious family dynamics which impose limitations in various ways on our lives. Through this process, damaged and misdirected love can be transformed into a powerful, supportive force which will allow us to reach our full potential. As we become aware of family entanglements, we are then able to understand ourselves better and through that understanding, feel both the inherent pain and joy, and therefore, the richness of life.

This process brings us to a profound kind of resolution, absolutely unique to this form of transformational work. It is based on the purity of observation, with very little talking between the client and the group leader. When we bring presence and intention to this work we can see where the flow of love has been injured and how a resolution can be found.

Just being in a constellation as a representative will invite many new realizations and deeper understanding into your life.
