Different ways?

A secret, something hiding?

Something in the past not completed?

What binds the system?

SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATION

- Systemic Consultancy

- Systemic Coaching

- Organisational Constellations

The Systemic Constellation perspective offer new ways to understand ourselves and others. This dimensional approach provide unique access to the often hidden family dynamics that influence how we feel, how we act and how we live.

In Systemic Constellation work we look for personal or professional issues (for business organisation and teams).

Systemic constellation work
is a relatively new discipline. Although many aspects are included in other therapeutic approaches, the method of working with constellations embodies come essential differences.

It based on family therapy: 50 years ago therapist discovered that illness symptoms specially from childrens are deeply connected with the family situation or unbalanced staff between the parents or the grandparents.

After 1980 a german priest and therapist Bert Hellinger, who works with Gestalt Therapy and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) developed in a deeper way constellation work. In 1993 he published Love's Hidden Symmetries and Love's own Truth and get a breakthrough in the worldwide therapy scene.

In a constellation involving the family of origin, the goal is not to uncover the myriad of connections in the family, but rather to look for the most powerful entanglements which maybe hindering the client and restricting his strength.

In constellation work we don't work with all family members, mostly one member comes with a special issue. In individual sessions we can do some steps, mostly it is useful as a preparation for a letter constellation work in a group seminar. In a seminar we work with representatives, the client choose for himself and only the necessary family members the representatives. The representatives are aware of feelings and relationsships and body postures of someone they don't know and still they don't get any informations. The client placed all of them in the same room, one by one the client touch them and give them a position from him inner feeling and a inner collectedness. The energies in the field (family constellation) guide the represntatives, taking over and causing reactions which are often surprising and inexplicable.....

Many therapeutic approaches, particularly in humanistic psychology, are based on the idea that each encounter between therapist and client is a new and idiosyncratic meeting. The therapist responds directly and spontaneously to each situation. Based on inner collectedness, mindfulness, centredness and without any intentions! Staying in the moment, we called it - proceeding phenomenologically. We open the field, hold the energy, invited the authentic "movement of soul", listening and observing - then we follow the inner quidance of the system constellation.

The representatives are very helpful, because the can speak, feel and move.... if the process goes on all of them are in resonates. Rupert Sheldrake (engl. biologist) writes of morphogenetic (gestalt forming) fields which rigidigy over time. They are various scientific ways to explaining this phenomenon from the fields of Quantum Physics (Zero point field) and Neuroscience (Mirror neurons). The process is like flowing energy.... if it comes to an end, means the energy is much focused and powerful, so an independant inner growth will go on. Often it is like this, the client has an unconsciousness inner image of his family, some stuck and stagnated movements, some take over feelings, patterns or unreleased emotions or responsibilities.... through the constellation work the image will changed and transformed to an powerful and authentic picture.

Imbalance will usually be redressed by a member of a later generation in the family. When one member has been unjustly excluded, someone else later will assume that fate and live a similar life, When a member doesn't accept personal responsibility, or represses their feelings, then a member of a later generation will take over and express those feelings rather than his own.

In case of traumatic impacts, we could get a deep understanding and healing for the injuries of the soul.

Over the years through family consellations work we recognised some basic principal's like natural orders of "Orders of Love":

  • Every member of family belongs equally to the family and is respected in the same way.
  • Whoever comes first is in the first place, and the other follow in order. An older brother comes before his younger siblings. A first wife comes before a second. Each person is respected equally.
  • Each member of the family has their own fate. Each person has to carry his fate completely and also has to carry personal responsibility.

Another point is to look for the balance between:
- Giving and Receiving
- Membership (respect, appreciation, be valuable)
- Connected relationships (authentic feelings, unconditional love)

In constellation work we recognised that the personal conscience and the collective conscience are energies of self regulation and healing forces.

"They are many paths of the truth. It is quite remarkable that there are so many composers, and none have discovered the same melody as the others. Each person has an individual insight, each melody is different, and each is beautiful in is own way."

To think systemically shows us the deep interconnectedness of all things, and when we truly understand this we realise that in the end we only hurt ourselves if we don't live in a way that substains the system-as-a-whole.

Last not least we are looking for the different dynamics in constellations and tune in, what is the right intervention for a "movement of the soul"

In constellation sets we will explore our experience of extra-normal perception:

- Intuition
- Hunches
- Gut-reactions
- Emotional responses

R.M.Rilke said: "The farmer takes care and support, but how the sead transformed in the summer, he will never rich there. The earth gifted." Now we can say for the work; the soul gifted.

Stefan Reiter are connected since 1996 with constellation work. Between 1998 - 2000 he was trained by Dr. Müller-Egloff and several times he met Bert Hellinger on seminars with different topics. Since 2001 he offer evening - or weekend - seminars. It also a good combination with craniosacral body work like personal constellation work.
