Spiritual Family Constellations is carried out through the representation process. When workshop participants are asked to be representatives, they usually know whom they are supposed to represent, but it is not necessary. The representation process means, firstly – waiting for the impulses in the body, and secondly – moving in a slow motion. These movements are usually slow or very slow, and they are induced by the impulses that work on muscles, without any conscious intentions. It is important to remember that the constellation is not a role-play, nor a pre-set exercise, nor hypnosis.
What was discovered during many workshops was that the representatives were able to represent both the living and the departed souls. Therefore it has been assumed that during this process, the representative comes into a special connection with the represented person. During this connection the representatives pick up the signals from those whom they represent.
The mechanism of the representation process during the constellation still remains unknown. We can try and compare it with the radio transmission, where the transmitter is the mind/soul/spirit of a person who is represented, the receiver is the physical body of the representative, and the transmission is the signals received by the muscles.
During the constellation, we can see the body-receiver and observe visible movements (which is something like listening to the radio that transformed the radio waves into audible sounds). While the representative is waiting at the beginning, it would be like tuning in. We can’t observe the transmission itself, i.e. we don’t know how the communication signals are flowing to the body of a representative to make it move (similarly, we are not able to observe radio waves).
However, workshop participants are often very surprised when they recognize that the representative’s body movements or exhibited emotions resemble the behaviour of the represented person. They are also surprised when they practically experience the constellation movements.
Being a representative in the spiritual family constellations process is a very good opportunity to develop the sixth sense, namely the ‘feeling sense’. Many people are familiar with so-called ‘gut feelings’. This is a special signal from the body which tells us that something is wrong. The spiritual family constellations allow us to learn how to use the whole body for the spiritual communication and this can significantly expand our capabilities.
