Question 24

Is it important to give the representatives information about the person they are standing in for?

Accepted Answer

No. In Constellations, part of the work is about tuning in with the energy field of a family system. If you have too much information your mind can get in the way.
​
As soon as the representatives are positioned in the Constellation they naturally pick up information about that family energetically (through feelings, perceptions or bodily sensations). This phenomenon is referred to as the Knowing Field.
​
All you have to do is to place the representatives in your Constellation where you feel they should stand in order to represent the relationships between the various members of your family. You then sit back and observe as the constellation unfolds.

Question 25

If I stand in as a representative, how can I be sure that what I am feeling or perceiving actually belongs to the person I am representing and is not my own stuff?"

Accepted Answer

When someone is standing in as a representative, any feelings, bodily sensations, impulses to move and perceptions belong to the person they are representing and are important indications of the Constellation. The sensations may also change as the Constellation unfolds. As we are all connected, standing in as a Representative (or even just observing a Constellation) can be emotionally moving.

Question 26

Do I have to know what I want to look at with my Constellation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Its good to have a sense of what you wish to address in your Constellation when you come along, this shows that you are ready to look at and explore a certain subject. However you can also choose to come along and witness others Constellations first, trusting that just the right issue will be brought to your attention. If you choose to do one of your own Constellations the facilitator will ask you some simple questions to help clarify the real issue.

Question 27

Can Constellation work be used to look at illness and disease?
