What is the work of FAMILY CONSTELLATION and why is it important?

When unhappiness becomes a constant companion; when accidents seem to happen often,
or our health is in danger; when we tend to repeatedly sabotage our work's success,
and find ourselves unable to live in fulfilled and harmonious relationships; when
we just never seem to find the right place anywhere, be it family, job or relationship
(no matter how much we try, and how many hours of therapy or personal coaching we
have behind us); then chances are that we do not indeed live our own life, but someone
else's. It is very possible that we are "reproducing" the life of
one of our family members.

Family Constellation work deals with the very roots of our lives. Our parents, grandparents
and ancestors are at the foundation of our having life. From this simple giving
and taking emerges an intricate web of relationships and bonds that makes us part
of our family, and part of all the good and bad things that ever happened within
it.
What Bert Hellinger rediscovered, through thousands of family systems with which
he worked, are age-old "orders of love" that govern the family systems
and their members.
When someone in the system (family clan) has been lost, given away, forgotten or
cast out, someone of the following generations unconsciously and invariably will
step in and bring the lost member's destiny back through living it out in this
lifetime. It happens out of a deep but hidden loyalty; out of the secret law that
will not allow anyone of a family clan being denied the right to belong. It is a
love so archaic and deep that the family member will choose to die, rather than
to "betray" the family bond.

Family constellation work is a highly efficient tool to understand if we are entangled
in the fate of someone of our family clan. It is able to reveal hidden loyalties
to those who suffered a dramatic fate.
When we rediscover the ancient orders of love, and understand how deeply affected
by previous generations our lives can be, we can start to see our individual suffering
in a new light. Love's flow can then be redirected and transformed, bringing
the forgotten and dishonored back into the family; acknowledging their fate without
interfering; recognizing them as part of the family; and rediscovering that we are
part of the family, too. When we find that we belong to, and find our right place
in, the family, we find it outside the family as well: in our community, culture
and race, not only as human beings, but ultimately together with all living beings,
as one of the children of the earth and of this beautiful universe.

Who belongs to the Family Soul:
There seem to be forces at work here which lie beyond the limits of our usual understanding.
Beyond our traditional understanding of soul, there seems to be a greater soul which
unites the living and the dead, or a "family soul" that joins living and
deceased family members. We can actually see the extent of the family soul when
we observe that only certain family members are affected and may be entangled in
the fates of other family members.
Those included in a system are:
The children, including stillborn children and those who have died early,
The parents and their siblings,
The grandparents,
Sometimes one of the great-grandparents and, at times, ancestors even further back.
Everybody - and this is most important - who made room to the advantage of the above
members. This includes, in particular,
Former partners of parents or grandparents, as well as all those whose misfortune
or death brought the family an advantage or gain.
Victims of violence and murder by any members of the family

WORKSHOPS or SESSIONS:
The workshops/sessions are designed for people who wish to explore deeply felt issues
about life and family.

Since 15 years she has been working with people in Australia, Chile, Italy and the
U.S.A, mainly in Neo-Reichian therapy (Pulsation and Breath), Counseling and Hellinger's
Systemic Family Therapy.
She is co director of The Meditation Module NYC and at present is working at The
Body Mind Institute, Berlin.
She has been studying Family constellation work with the originator Bert Hellinger
and is now presenting this method in a way that incorporates meditation. The basic
understanding is that any therapeutic method is a help in relaxing the mind and
in this way becomes a stepping stone to move more deeply into meditation.
