Constellations

Everything I thought I understood about love, death, families, tragedies, illness, war, and loss expanded in ways I could never have imagined. I saw people who were struggling with depression, money, illness, with relationship issues transformed on a huge scale. I saw how tragedies and losses from the past were still affecting the lives of family members several generations later-even if they had no conscious knowledge of the original events. I heard stories of how after a constellation, family members halfway around the world -who had no idea a constellation had been done - were suddenly transformed. I felt changes happening in me just from witnessing other people's constellations. It became apparent that we are all way more connected than we have any way of knowing.

This simple and complex experience will change the way you experience change. You will not be the same; your sense of who you are in this world and our universe or space and time-especially time-will change, usefully, wonderfully, and irrevocably for you. Dare you to come to play!

Family constellations was started by Virginia Satir and further developed by Bert Hellinger, a German Psychotherapist. This version we will be using was adapted by Michelle Masters and Carl Buccheit from our sister company NLP Marin.

... all people carry an energetic field or blueprint of their biological families - this field has been called the family soul or conscious. That field has an enormous unconscious effect on each family member's life and everyone they interact with. Long-standing problems with health, depression, relationships, failed finances, etc., are usually a result of unconscious entanglements in the family soul. Doing a constellation is a way to bring those entanglements to light and allow for some resolution to happen. Quite often, after a constellation, other members of the family who were not present for the constellation - didn't even know it was happening – report dramatic shifts as a result. Because the family is a system --- like an energetic mobile, what affects one, affects all. And what keeps one stuck affects them all.

Leopold Zundi, a biologist, discovered that a species pass information genetically through latent genes about how that species have learned to adapt to its environment for survival purposes. Latent genes work so that a species can pass adaptive strategies for survival on to the next generation. This explains why you might find families of with four generations of lawyers or three generations of doctors.

When this information works negatively in our lives, we call it entanglements. These problems last for about seven generations or for about 25-30 people unless it is something like murder, which can have an effect for a longer time.

For example, the original incident could be something like: grandpa losing money in the depression, and it leaves an imprint in the family's subconscious. This has an effect on dad and you.

Types of entanglements show up as things like the following in business and life:

• No permission to connect:
• a.) Alone - overwhelmed - workaholic
• b.) Trouble networking
• c.) Not getting enough new customers
• d.) Trouble in relationships (afraid to let go into intimacy to the pattern of attracting others who won't open up.)

• No permission for success:
• a.) Trouble starting or growing a business
• b.) High water mark: money
• c.)Trouble selling products or services
• d.)Uncomfortable making sales

• Pull towards death:
• a.) A dim life - not much success
• b.) Health issues
• c.) Not knowing what you want/indecisive
• d.)Emotions, sadness, dark mornings (like driving down the highway and having the desire to turn the wheel and run somebody over for no good reason)

Jewish, African, Irish, native, American, and Chinese people are the Big 5 for many problems due to the exceptionally traumatic calamities surrounding their ethnic histories.

When to have a constellation? When there are problems like repeat finance, career problems, chronic health issues, and relationship problems/patterns to deal with ecology so that you can have more of what you want when there is a mental or physical illness like a terminal disease, frequent accidents, suicidal tendencies, depression, problems sleeping, etc. in your family.
