What is the family constellation?

The definition of family constellation is a therapeutic approach that involves energy fields. “If we were to translate literally from German, the word would be positioning. In short, it is the opportunity for us, as energetic beings, to position ourselves within the system, with all the potential, in our place. Of course, looking at all that He came first so that we can rediscover the flow of life that began long ago.”the specialist begins.

How did this happen?

To understand it better, we must first know how it came about. “The great creator, Bert Hellinger, drew from many sources, from psychodrama, through transgenerational analysis, to family therapy. Through these studies, he saw that there are three laws that move any relationship and positioning in life. He called them ‘Law of belonging‘, ‘Law of Hierarchy‘ AND ‘Law of balance between taking and receiving‘”details.

When these laws are in order, we are in our place and get the flow of life. “We all have the ability to develop and give something to the world, like a skill. And so we come to our place. However, if we cannot do it, it is because something is tangled, some law has not been hindered. case of a field of family constellations, it is possible to reverse this situation”explains.

What are family constellations for?

For example, you need to ask yourself who is missing, if they are really in the right place and if they are all in your heart. “To make you understand, I imagine a case. A father is missing in a person’s life. One who, perhaps, was not his mother’s man. In this way he was excluded because he was not the ideal partner. On the other hand, he will be always the father. It doesn’t matter if he couldn’t be there or it wasn’t what his mother and son wanted, he is the possible father to fill our hearts.”clarifies.

Another alternative could be with your brother. “The person does not know that he has lost a brother and believes he is the first, the firstborn. But the mother suddenly had a loss, an abortion. This takes him out of his place as a child, since he believes he is the first , but he is the second. And the force of life will only find him in his place as the second son. So, when we look, when we enter the field, we can, yes, turn on the lights so that we can see who is missing and find out if he is the right one. And, with hearts full of everyone, and in the place right in your place, you can exercise the third law, of giving and taking”proves.

What are the types of family constellations?

Also know that there are different types of family constellations, ranging from body-only to object use. “The constellator is prepared to be in this field, in this channel, in this void, to be at the service of the information system that will be used. And there are several ways to open this field. You can use anchors, which are the body itself , then enter the field using mats or pieces of colored paper, or use objects, such as dolls, crystals and even chairs, because that’s what was there at the time.says Lotumolo.

Is it possible to do family constellations on your own?

Yes. Family constellation can take place in a group or individually. “In the latter case, a theme, a pain, is addressed which will be the key to opening the door for the lights to enter. The constellator helps to elaborate this theme which, at that moment, is very latent. When this body enters the field, it is capable of reporting – through movements, sensations, memories and perceptions – everything that the field can say”clarifies.

When there are more people it is possible to create different representations of the fields. “In this way, through movements, the constellation tends to perceive something that was previously unconscious. So it can expand its awareness to what lies behind all the pain and fears. There is also the possibility of doing systemic exercises. It is as if I took a clipping and we did an exercise based on it, allowing, for example, the whole group to experience the union of mom and dad in our hearts How many of us, through separations, our father or our mother they separated in the heart? our internal forces”underlines.

Is it possible to do family constellations online?

The work can be done both online and in person. “With the pandemic, we have been able to verify that this field is timeless and non-local, so it can be accessed remotely. It’s as good as in person. Of course, in person, the representatives can end up touching each other. And then, I use to say that the hug, perhaps, that you didn’t receive from your mother, can reach that field, and it’s very emotional”says the constellator.

Combination of therapies

Since it is a short therapy, Juliana underlines that it is interesting that it is done together with psychotherapy. “It allows you to make great strides in knowing yourself. But it is necessary to continue with conventional care, especially in case of illnesses, disorders and discomforts. This is because you will see what is needed and the follow-up will facilitate this process”believes.

Who shouldn’t do family constellations?

Whoever is not ready should not do the family constellation, and whoever gives approval will be the constellator: “Since this is a therapeutic approach, it is necessary for this self, this psyche, to be in what we call an adult posture. It is necessary to have the clarity that I am here and now to be able to look at my system in its greatness. That is why those who want understanding it must go through an interview. In this way the professional knows what moment he is experiencing and whether there is a willingness to adopt the adult’s position to follow the path to the solution”.

“So, if you ask me if anyone can do the constellation? No. Therefore, we must have the responsibility, as constellations, to look at this path that is taken, whether this approach is really suitable now. Just like other approaches, which perhaps is not it’s time to do it”he concludes.
