We are born into a family and influenced by its history whether we know this history or not. Our family is an energy-field or system that controls our behaviour, our relationships and even our health. We can imagine this energy field as a woven net. Where the events in the lives our ancestors were turbulent, that net has been torn and twisted. The condition of the whole field – of the entire net – influences all parts of it. Thus often, in all innocence, we do not have the freedom to choose, in our life's circumstances, how to act or what to think, but are rather moved to act and respond like puppets by this powerful field.
We can know that we are controlled by the family energy field when we have a problem that repeats itself, or there are relationships within our family that we cannot cope with, or when we have unexplained feelings of sorrow, loss or emptiness. Then our solution is to have our family constellation set up and to work within it to find the truth behind the suffering. The truth sets us free.
This method or working within the family energy field through family constellations was discovered by Bert Hellinger. It succeeds in resolving relationship and family problems where other methods cannot succeed.
