Family Constellations:

In families there is a give and take, an inner harmony, a balance, a sense of belonging. When someone in the family is excluded or not given equal rights to belong to the family, someone in a later generation may become identified with that person and will start to act out that same situation. This is called an entanglement. Through family constellations it is possible to evolve the relationships to a place of resolution.

Bert Hellinger realized that children, out of love, take on these entanglements. To depict family dynamics, representatives for family members throughout the generations are positioned how the person experiences the relationships. That image is then transformed to a new image, a new family mandala, of how the relationships can be when they are more in balance.
