Through this approach
one explores the deeper, unconscious dynamics in
one's family system. Everyone resonates as a part of
their family system and is deeply and profoundly tied
to it by bonds of loyalty and love. As we explore, we
often discover how much our need to belong/balance
the issues in our family subconsciously influences our
actions. Mostly, we are unaware that we continue to
attempt to
balance unresolved energies in our families
of origin, well into our adult lives. When such
unconscious attempts are detected and
acknowledged, one can move from “blind” love to
“enlightened” love in one's relation to oneself and
family. In family constellations we also look to understand the
impact of unresolved family issues/secrets/difficult or
tragic events, and often become more aware of
influences that our ancestors’ fates may still have in
our life. Once these connections are identified a
healing process can unfold in which we look for the
love that is inherent in most families but which is often
obscured by pain, fear and anger. When participants discover their rightful, dignified place in
their family they relax and disengage from painful old
patterns. This offers the opportunity to move forward
in new ways and leave past issues behind.
