What is Family Constellations Work?
Family Constellation’s workshops are a healing technique that focus on discovering the hidden/unconscious energy dynamics in your family and how those interactions shaped your perception of the world around you. We do not only inherit our physical features from our parents. We also inherit their energetic belief systems. These beliefs can often limit our lives because they originated at a time that is no longer applicable. Changing our beliefs is the foundation of all healing. The group process of our monthly Constellations Workshop in Los Angeles is an effective resource for self exploration, investigating a long-standing struggle, and problem solving issues that seem resistant to change.
While mainstream therapy focuses on one-on-one conversations with the client, Constellation gatherings use representatives from the group to build a larger picture of the situation and where the client is in relation to all the people involved. This enables us to see a personal problem as part of a larger system, which can be a relief to discover.
The Constellation process recognizes that we all belong to a variety of different groups or ‘systems’ which shape our sense of identity. We are part of our family identity, our ethnic identity, work identity, and many other systems including hobby groups and social networks.
Whenever you wish to change a specific issue it is very helpful to see yourself and the issue in its larger context. In a Constellation workshop we discover the specifics of the dynamic systems you belonged to in the past or are currently engaging. This is the first step in finding solutions to shifting out of old patterns that no longer serve your life goals.
How to prepare for a family constellation?
It can be helpful to gather any information about your grandparents and their siblings before receiving a constellation. But this is not necessary. The constellations way of working is powerful because it shows energy records that may not have any concrete evidence. Many people ask if this form of healing is based in science. The answer is yes, but it is not based in Newtonian science, which studies a topic in a controled environment to discover repeatable results. When studying the periodic table of elements, this is the best approach. But when studying emotions, trauma, and the human heart, the science is based in quantum concepts.
There is nothing that needs to be prepared. It is usually best to not formulate a lot of intellectual conclusions about what you believe the issue in your family system to be. We want to approach the discovery process with little to no intellectual narrative. Facts such as how your grandparents died, how many siblings they had, and if any traumas occured can be very helpful to research. But the constellation movement will reveal the most important messages that want to be heard from your family system.
Prepare for a family constellation in the same way you might prepare for a relaxing vacation. Try not to have appointments the day after the workshop so that you can sleep in and have time to stare off into space, allowing the movements and messages to unfold fully in your awareness. Clear your schedule the next day and arrive with a relaxed and curious mind.
What to expect at a Constellation Workshop
A group of people will gather in a circle and a facilitator will work with individuals, briefly discussing the issue that wants to be explored. The people in the group will be chosen to represent aspects of the issue. Those representatives will follow their impulses to speak or move and a conversation will unfold that leads to revelation or resolution.
Our monthly Family Constellations Workshop in Los Angeles last several hours. We continue working until the whole group is tired so it can be helpful to set aside the whole day for these events. We set up three guaranteed Constellations. After those three set-ups, we often have time and energy to set up a fourth Constellation.
A Constellation “set-up” is what we call the process of choosing people from the group to represent aspects of the issue being investigated. These spatial dynamics reveal the key elements of your issue, so you can literally see before your very eyes a three-dimensional visual of the hidden dynamics you are struggling with. It is a tremendously valuable method of problem solving that not only involves well-informed therapeutic conversations with the facilitator, but also often invites the healing power of shamanic, ceremonial rites of passage which is so valued in indigenous healing methods and overlooked in modern approaches.
A Constellations workshop is a fully engaging experience. We recommend setting aside the whole day to participate and also setting aside the next day to just relax and contemplate the experience to fully integrate it into your life and personality. Letting a Constellation event change you is the beginning of the natural healing process.
What to expect after family constellation?
Receiving a constellation is a bit like stepping into a dream. It is powerful, meaningful, and difficult to explain to others. It is recommended that you try not to discuss the events of your constellation with anyone for at least two weeks. This enables the movement to keep opening in your heart and mind without putting definitions of words on it. When we talk about something we limit its possibilities. A constellation will keep unfolding when we hold it in gentle silence.
It can also be helpful to take an epsom salt bath after a workshop to relax your whole body.
If the constellation stirred up strong feelings and you feel you need more support to navigate what unfolded, it is important to reach out for other forms of help. A constellation is only one part of the whole healing process. Be sure to include other approaches and techniques to discover and dissolve the blocks you are wanting to overcome. Private sessions can help address any questions or concerns about a constellation.
