Hellinger Family Constellation Therapy
|
Bert Hellinger's work is grounded and practical and at the same time spiritual. It is a spirituality that reaches through the depth and core of our humanness to the most simple, yet profoundly influential facts of life. Far from being interested in "peak experience" and the addiction to bliss we so often see in spiritual circles, this work is interested in the basic foundations of what makes relationships and families work well. This work restores the flow of love and teaches how we can take this awareness into larger social groups and perhaps even learn to heal issues of global concern.

Almost all forms of healing, therapy and health care deal with what can be known and seen or felt. We talk about memories, we look at symptoms, we try to align our personal energy systems. But it is difficult to visibly see the underlying forces that can cause illness, abuse, depression, divorce, career issues, addictions and other difficult fates including cultural violence. One method to make these systemic energy systems visible is the Family Constellation.
There are universal forces that were well observed and respected when we lived in groups of 20-30 people. However, as we historically put more and more emphasis on developing our individual identities and less on the survival of the whole group (or planet), we forgot this wisdom. Bert Hellinger observed that a member of the family often “follows” another in their fate. Such as a child becoming ill in the misguided hope that they can connect with a dead parent. Or a person behaving exactly as an earlier family member who was shunned. In an effort to maintain balance and wholeness, the Family Soul, which is energetic field governing the entire family, will move the fate from one to another in an attempt to find resolution and lasting peace.
This work untangles fates, and deeply respects our own fate, while acknowledging the natural bonds that love places on us. Resolution unifies our individual gains with that of the greater whole.
