Constellation Therapy
Constellating Oneness
is a play of surrender
Constellating Oneness is a powerful tool, a shamanic technology that has the capacity to rewrite the hidden stories shaping our lives, bringing liberation. This method works across all levels: inherited or acquired illness and emotional or psychological struggles, or outer conflicts like relationship issues, creative and financial blocks, even war or environmental disharmony. Wherever there is discord, it can be met and shifted.
Rather than endlessly talking through a story, we tap into the energetics at play beneath it. As the deeper pattern is revealed and felt, a spontaneous and intelligent reorganization occurs, bringing clarity, release, and healing throughout the system.
What is Family Constellation Therapy?
Family Constellation Therapy is a therapeutic model developed by the German group therapist and philosopher, Bert Hellinger, after experiencing extensive training in interracial and ecumenical group dynamics with Zulu tribes, studying the Family Re-construction work of Virginia Satir, and exploring Psychodrama with Jakob Moreno.
FCT engages the phenomenon of the Morphogenetic Field or “Knowing Field” to portray subtle and comprehensive dynamics, patterns and themes within a system. This system can be anything from a family to an entire culture, a business team, or even the body itself. People may be chosen or may volunteer to take on roles within these systems with little or no knowledge of the characters or dynamics. Most that participate are shocked to discover that they are able to represent these roles to an accuracy that cannot be explained. They exhibit entirely new personas and display inexplicable loyalties and resistances. They deeply feel the pain, the joy, and the love of those they represent.
How does Constellation Therapy work?
The role of the therapist is to hold an unshakable loyalty to the health of the entire system which is contingent upon the inherit worthiness and belonging of every person or aspect. Therapists use intuition and receptivity to gently guide the system to an emergent harmony. This harmony may appear to organize itself visually in movements and positions that are indicative of balance, yet, as this work is always emergent, there is no dogmatic end goal besides a collective felt-sense of catharsis shared by a majority of representatives playing in the Knowing Field.
These catharses are often felt as a profound liberation from existing or newly-conscious sadness, anger, and shame. Many are accompanied by releases of physical pain and symptoms of disease. Miraculously, these releases are not limited to those physically present during the Constellation. They are often felt by many members in the system, and are accompanied by seemingly-spontaneous or quickly-emerging shifts, healings, and reconciliations.
What is the Knowing Field?
As with traditional Constellation work, the Knowing Field or Morphogenetic field is co-created by all consciousness “present” at the Constellation. This includes all the people who are physically present as well as those they are representing, or are connected to in any way. Also included are all belief systems, shared collective thought-constructs, wisdom, life experiences, body orientations, or even “beings” that any representative has a strong connection to.
At this point, you may be sniffing at something here- the Knowing Field is speaking to us (reflecting) in our own personal or shared metaphors, just as all of our experiences are in our seeming day-to-day, waking life! In the context of the Constellation, we’re just more conscious of being conscious! Or unconconscious…
What role will those present play in my Constellation?
As your Guides in the grand play of Constellating Oneness, we will hold the foundational energetic context or “scaffolding” of the somatic, felt-sense experience of unity consciousness and oneness. Often highly-integrated energies (”beings”) of clarity and expansion will appear and be represented in the Knowing Field. These may personify as White Tara, Krsna, Quan Yin, or Christ, as we, your Guides, have personal experiences embodying these powerful codes. Incredibly, any “being” that is called forth by the perfect creative genius of our collective consciousness may appear!

So how in the most heavenly of hells can this be of use to you?! Thanks for asking- we get carried away.
Deep Witnessing
As explained in the traditional use of Constellation Therapy, you will likely encounter a deep witnessing to the fact that your entire familial system (or any system) is operating in a context of unconditional love. This witnessing will be done with your heart and engender a fresh and rich perception of life.
Collective sensing
As you have found yourself here, we can also intuit that you are ready for a deeper seeing. Through the borrowed sensing of the Knowing Field, you will observe and feel the interconnectivity that is our birthright as reflections of wholeness. This experience can profoundly reorient a person to the richness of “collective sensing” rather than individual.
Being as
The clinging that we encounter in relationship to our prevailing myth of personhood can be attributed partly to a foundational, nervous-system terror of relaxing and releasing into “being” rather than “being as”. The mind interprets this clinging as the grasping to its very life and we may begin to believe it is so. The shared-consciousness of the container of the constellation allows us to relax at a subconscious, para-sympathetic level into the felt experience of the support of the collective. From this somatic vantage-point, a truer metaphor of “i am you and you are me” may feel more resonant.
Selfhood perspective
The perspective that the individual avatar can somehow encompass the Truth of your Being is incredibly limiting, and yet, this viewpoint is actually quite fragile. As it has no bearings in truth, it is quite susceptible (hallelujah) to being seen through at any moment. While Constellating Oneness, we will often have the opportunity to represent fully-realized “beings” and therefore encounter a challenge to our former conditioning of selfhood that is so persuasive that we can’t help but relinquish our smallness to the profound grace of an encounter with a more accurate experience of essence nature.

The dance that ensues is the whirling of dervishes, the playful dance of the lover and Beloved, the mystic and the Mystery.
