Origin
of Constellations
The Constellation process
was devised by Bert Hellinger, a German
therapist and former priest. After leaving the priesthood,
he studied psychoanalysis, and eventually developed an
interest in Gestalt
Therapy and Transactional Analysis.
He lived for a time among the Massai people
in Africa. Hellinger noticed
that there were particular orders within the family system
that enabled love to flow, and other orders
that inhibited love. He also noticed that certain family
events from previous generations – sometimes 3 or 4
generations ago - could have an unconscious adverse impact
on later generations.
What effect do those patterns have?
The patterns
from previous generations often become so embedded
in the family behaviours and
attitudes
that they
seem to
be ‘normal’, even when they are destructive. They
may be so intimately integrated into our view of who we are
that we are unable to see an alternative way of living, loving
and relating, and unable to break out of a cycle of behaviour
that we no longer want. Those patterns can affect
- relationships with your partner, spouse,
or other intimate relationships
- your relationships with
your parents and relatives
- your relationships with your children,
- work relationships
- work performance,
- social relationships,
- confidence and self esteem
- success,
- wealth,
- happiness
- health.
If
we don’t recognise those patterns
they can be difficult to change. If we recognise the pattern
but are not aware of the dynamic that is causing the pattern,
we are likely to go on repeating the pattern despite our
attempts to change.
That can be both frustrating
and exhausting.
The Constellations process
transforms real situations and can impact the entire generational
system
- past, present
and
future.
Constellations is an established and well-respected
process in Europe and is spreading around the
world. It is still relatively new to Australia, with only
a small number of practitioners. It is a cutting edge tool
that is outstandingly elegant, profound and effective.

3 ways you can experience
Constellation work.
- Have a constellation
done in a group setting on one of your own issues.
Each person having a constellation has a chance to, state
what the issue is they which to look at one by one, we
don't need lengthy history or details. The facilitator
will ask
you some simple factual questions. You pick people in the
group to represent the people of your issue and you sit
back and watch as the facilitator works with the constellations
as the dynamics unfold. The result is often life changing.
- Come
along as a representative
in a group setting. This
way you get to observe other people working through their
own issue and you may be asked to be a representative of
one of the people of their issue eg: their father, mother,
sister, brother, partner, self.
As a representative you get
to experience the dynamic of the constellation, and experience
the knowing field. No experience
is required, just be open.
- Have a private constellation done one-on-one for your own
issues. In a private constellation you work one-on-one with
the facilitator/s working through your issue. You are in
a private room and a safe environment. You have a more active
role in the constellation and the results can often be life
changing.
What is the difference between a group
session and a private session?
Group sessions:
- are the traditional
way constellations occurred for years.
- other people participate
in your constellation.
- the collective energy and dynamic
of the group can be a profound experience for both
the participant and the person having the constellation
done.
- can be very useful
when you work on a significant issue and want a major shift
in your life.
- the group dynamic can help amplify the energy
shift.
- the constellation can move faster when there
is a group dynamic
at play.
- some people come a long to a group session
as a representative first to experience the constellation
process.
More details on group sessions: Private sessions you work
one-on-one with the facilitator and you will have a more
active
role in the constellation than in a group setting.
Private sessions are more accessable
if you have something you want to work on now, instead
of waiting for the next scheduled group session.
