For years now, Systemic Constellations, both for families and for work as well as for companies, have been successfully spreading all over the world. What is the strength of this method? What are the characteristics that have made it an avant-garde methodology?

One feature is speed. In an hour, sometimes less, the person who "stages" the constellation of their family, sees some hidden dynamics in the system unfold before him which are at the origin of discomfort or repetitive behaviors or great difficulties that they have been carrying, often for a long time.

The great contribution of the Constellations is a new vision of the role of conscience. In them, we clearly see how much the need to "belong" binds an individual to their system of origin (making them unconsciously abide to their systemic family conscience without questionning it). And how much this need to belong to the systemic conscience of that given family - including previous generations - influences choices, deep feelings and behaviors. Feeling part of a certain system makes us feel good; going our own way, on the other hand, makes us feel uncomfortable, as if we betrayed something or someone. This sense of "betrayal" is the necessary step to grow, to evolve.

The individual, through the Constellations, observes the systemic nodes and conditionings that keep him "tied" to certain situations, sometimes very restrictive.

It can include a more adult form of love, more connected to aloneness, a fulfilling aloneness, rooted in the perception that you are walking on your own two feet, expressing your creativity and singing your own song. A love more connected to individual responsibility than to the security of the known (“In my family things have always been done in this way”).

Some examples may help understand this concept better... A man always finds himself traveling, from one country to another, never being able to stop, to create something for his life. At first it is an enriching adventure, then a modus vivendi; but at a certain point he feels that this "going" is more rooted in a sense of anguish than in freedom.

The constellation can show what lies at the root of this compulsive moving. Perhaps a family member had been forced to flee and then gone missing. The person in question, even after a few generations, unconsciously "remembers" that forgotten family member, experiencing the same feeling, the same impulse, but this time the impulse is not related to a real need in one’s life. Discovering this brings great relief to the person who was reliving that destiny and, respecting the existence of that member of the system, can feel free to choose: he is no longer forced to succumb to a sentiment, feeling or drive not in accordance with their true self.

This example is peculiar, but there are many situations of compulsive behavior or inner sensations that weigh down the ability to choose for one's life.

Difficulties in relationships can also originate from forms of "entanglement" with parents. If one of the two parents, for example, uses their child as an ally against the other partner, the child will have many difficulties in adult life to relate in a relaxed and total way with their partner. In a work context, you may find yourself shouldering more responsibilities than those required by your role, or you may often find yourself embroiled in disputes outside your area of ​​responsibility. The Constellations bring to light very clearly what keeps us bound, repressed or distrusted in relationships.

Systemic work is of great support for a well-functioning relationship. For example, it shows the importance of a right balance between giving and receiving, or of respect for important partners who came before us... thus allowing us to come out of the illusion of being the only ones and to deeply understand the flow of love and of the change.

I personally came across the Constellation work after many years of meditation and work on myself and the resonance I have seen in my life has been profound and fascinating.

In some dark moments, I used to judge myself a lot, almost ashamed of some inner sensations that never seemed to go away. Through the Constellations I was able to see some entanglements that still influenced my approach to life. A sense of deep sadness accompanied me, despite years of meditation and experiences of pleasant work within the Resort; despite choosing what I felt was right for me, moment to moment. I discovered how much this sadness was connected to a difficult fate of many women in my family system, to which I unconsciously remained "faithful".

I left my family when I was 21 to go to Pune for the first time and I thought I left it all behind. But I discovered, for example, how much the support given to my father and the constant conflict with my mother had led to a deep and subtle distrust of men and a certain arrogance... mystified in a thousand ways during my life as a spiritual seeker.

Deepening the observation of myself also from this point of view has brought me a new sense of lightness, clarity, and gratitude for life. Meditation and everything that Osho had told me and given me with great simplicity from the beginning, found even more space within me, something relaxed on a very deep level and the past truly became the past.

During this experience a sense of responsibility full of joy passed through me and continues to pass through me every day.

I therefore consider the method of Systemic Constellations a method that helps meditation to go deeper. The untying of some unconscious knots certainly helps for relaxation and observation to flow into the depths of our being.
