Integrating Systemic Theory with Ancestral Community Healing Wisdom to nurture our well-being, be rooted in Love and in Harmony with Life and Nature
Family Constellations is a form of healing intervention founded by Bert Hellinger, a German psychologist who had also spent his life as a missionary. This soulful & deeply powerful way of working is drawn from his experience of observing the community healing traditions and rituals of the Zulu tribe of Africa during his work as a missionary there. He observed there that when people are met with illnesses and life disruptions, be it physical, mental, relational or psychological, they are moved into healing with community circles facilitated by the community healers.
We also know that the community healing approach that draws upon ancestral strength have long been a practice and philosophy of tribal groups, indigenous communities and early eastern civilisation. Here in this work with Family Constellations Asia, we weave these practices with the depth of research and practice of Family Systems Therapy drawn from Systemic theory studied in the West.
By working in this way, we are invited to be observers of hidden dynamics in a family, hidden loyalties and entanglements with our family of origin, and events within our community and country of origins that continue to impact our lives in ways we are not aware of yet. We are also supported in this work to bring in healing movements into what has not been resolved & what has remained transmitted burdens from the past.
This approach to healing helps us see our lives with much greater clarity, reframe relationship dynamics that has long felt stuck, attend with compassion to traumatic injuries and reconcile with life events in a way that brings an important integration and harmony in: so it no longer becomes an unconscious burden but it becomes one that brings us strength and wisdom to navigate our lives.
Deepika also facilitates this in a way that makes room for deep healing for traumatic injuries and consideration of how our entanglements have affected our body & their systems. She invites clients to bring awareness into nervous systems, blocked energy systems (Chakra) and inner body sensations to allow for the body to be a safe friend and container for deep healing.
If these workshops interests you, look out for the dates & venues where Deepika facilitates either online or offline.
In this work, we work with what is known now as a Morphic Field, an intuitive field that connects all living beings as an interlinked presence in this world. Dr Rupert Sheldrake, a renowned scientist, has shared his findings on the morphic field that helps us with insight into the effectiveness and incredible power of Family Constellations as a deep healing approach. We are also working with core principles observed by Bert Hellinger listed here:
Orders of Love where a family's health is restored when love flows from top to down (parent to child)
Belonging: Every member of the family belongs regardless of their life path and outward actions.
Giving & Taking: Relationships are more steadily nurtured when there is a balance in giving and receiving.
Loyalty of the Soul to Love: Acknowledging that each person operates in loyalty to their family and we allow for the movement of healing to support loyalties that are no longer in service for healing to take place.
In Group Family Constellations, we have the support of the group who will stand in as representatives for family members or elements in one's life. The representatives are able to sense into their core feelings and somatic sensations of the members they are representing which surfaces the entanglements in a family system.
With the facilitator's guidance, they are supported to help bring in healing resolutions into the areas that surfaces as entanglements through Healing Sentences. These Healing Sentences are languages that have been used in Family Constellations work since its conception and are also enhanced with the facilitator's own experience in this work.
