Family constellations emerge as a powerful therapeutic approach that goes beyond superficial appearances and delves into the hidden roots that sustain our family relationships.

Discovering Transformative Roots: Bert Hellinger’s Legacy and Family Constellations
Bert Hellinger, born in Germany in 1925 and passed away in 2019, was a renowned psychotherapist known as the creator of family constellations and the formulator of systemic laws of love and life.
Certainly, his contribution to the field of psychology and therapy transformed the way we approach family dynamics and relationships as a whole. During his journey, Hellinger found inspiration from various sources of wisdom.
One of his notable influences was his stay in South Africa, where he came into contact with various tribes, including the Zulu tribe. These encounters allowed him to absorb precious teachings from ancestors and dive into ancestral traditions, further enriching his understanding of family dynamics and human systems.
Let’s explore the powerful roots of family constellations: morphic resonance
Have you ever noticed how your pet seems to know when it’s time to go to the veterinarian? Or even when you were working from home, they would sleep by your side. But when you were about to finish your work, they would start stretching and moving around, intuitively knowing that you were wrapping up your tasks? That is called morphic resonance.
But what exactly is morphic resonance? It is a form of magnetism or energy that surrounds us and connects us. It allows us to know, even without words, what is happening in the present moment. And animals have a keen perception of this resonance.
Similarly, in family constellations, it is theorized that the experiences lived by members of the same species are stored in an invisible field known as the morphic field. The content of these experiences becomes accessible later on, regardless of the elapsed time or whether there has been direct contact between the members.
Morphic resonance, emanating from these fields influenced by everyone, including a critical mass, reproduces new habits and patterns, both positive and negative. This fundamental understanding helps us unravel the transformative power of family constellations, where we dive into this morphic field in search of healing, insights, and harmony in family dynamics.
The Three Pillars of Family Constellations
Family constellations, as a therapeutic practice, are based on three fundamental pillars that transcend the dimensions of family reality: order, belonging, and compensation/equilibrium. These pillars have profound meaning and a spiritual essence that invites us to explore the interconnections between our family systems and the universe itself.
These three pillars are:
- Order,
- Belonging, and
- Compensation/Equilibrium.
They form the core of family constellations. They undoubtedly invite us to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual connection.
By exploring these pillars, we open the way to a deeper understanding of our family dynamics, allowing the energy of love to flow and manifest in positive ways in our lives. In this sense, we will delve into the essence of each pillar.
Unveiling the Importance of Order in Family Constellations
Order is the first pillar that supports family constellations. It refers to the need to respect and honor the natural hierarchy within a family. When each member occupies their appropriate place within the family system, an energy of harmony and fluidity is established.
In this sense, this order of arrival creates a unique dynamic, where each individual occupies a specific place within the family structure. It is within this order that we find the foundation for understanding the relationships and interactions between family members.
This order is not limited only to the family structure but also encompasses the balance between giving and receiving, the flow of energy, and the connection with the greater forces that govern the universe and contribute to the system’s equilibrium as a whole.
Embracing the Web of Connections: The Essence of Belonging in Family Constellations
In the fabric of family constellations, we recognize that all members have a place and belong to the family system. No individual can be excluded or denied, as each person plays a significant role in the tapestry of family relationships.
In family constellations, belonging extends beyond the boundaries of time and space, recognizing that we are connected to our ancestors and future generations. This awareness leads us to explore our roots and understand that our existence has a purpose within a larger context.
Belonging is the foundation that reminds us of the importance of honoring all connections and recognizing the intrinsic value of each family member. By delving into the essence of belonging, we open our hearts to the deep interconnection that binds each person within the family system, cultivating an environment of acceptance, love, and mutual understanding.
Restoring the Balance of Life: The Search for Compensation and Equilibrium
Compensation/equilibrium is the third pillar of family constellations and involves the pursuit of harmony and fairness. In this dynamic, we find the essential principle of compensation and equilibrium, established by the continuous flow of giving and receiving.
Therefore, when ruptures, injustices, or exclusions occur within the family system, there is a need for restoration and balance. Through family constellations, we recognize the importance of honoring and including those who have been excluded or marginalized in our family systems.
Through this powerful therapeutic approach known as family constellations, both in individual sessions and group settings, we find the path to balance and liberation from the void or weight that does not belong to us.
Conclusion
In conclusion, family constellations reveal themselves as a powerful and transformative therapeutic approach that invites us to delve into the depths of our family relationships in search of healing, understanding, and harmony. Through the three fundamental pillars – order, belonging, and compensation/equilibrium – we enter a spiritual terrain where we uncover the hidden connections and dynamics that shape our lives.
This therapy provides us with a transformative journey, where we are invited to explore family dynamics, identify dysfunctional patterns, and unravel the hidden bonds that hold us back. By doing this profound work, we create space for the restoration of internal balance, reconnecting with our true essence, and freeing ourselves from emotional and energetic burdens that do not belong to us.
Embarking on this journey, we open the doors to the morphic resonance of love, healing, and expanded consciousness. We find a new sense of belonging and a deeper connection with ourselves, our family systems, and the universe as a whole. May family constellations continue to guide us on this journey of discovery, transformation, and rediscovery of our true potential.
