The
client (green jacket) gives a brief outline of her issue in the group. The
constellation facilitator (Doris Landauer, yellow jacket) decides on
the constellation format and – in cooperation with the client – on
the system elements (e.g. in a family structural constellation these would
be
die client
her/himself, her parents and single siblings; in an organisation structural
constellation these would be single divisions, the work climate or the market).
According to these selected system elements the client chooses representatives
from the group. As a substitute for herself (in this constellation) she selects
the male, standing in the foreground.
The
client asks the female wearing the light blue pullover to stand as “the
goal”.
The
client guides her representative into the constellation space. The constellation
guide facilitates this finding process by leading the client’s rational
attention towards bodily pictorial analogous thoughts, using trance language
and voice. Group members not chosen for a role (white jacket) contribute
to the positive development through their empathy.
The other system elements are then guided into the room by the client.
From now on she watches the constellation process from outside.
The constellation facilitator questions the representative of the goal on
the differences she has perceived since she had been chosen and led to this
place.
For
support, the constellation guide holds her own hand in “cataleptic
posture” behind the back of the representative, giving her the impression
to be backed by another person.
Obviously, the representatives are not quite happy on their places. The
constellation facilitator continues to question them.
Due
to the feed back from the representatives the facilitator has inserted further
system elements and questions them on changes in their perception.
It is plain to see that the mood has already improved – people are
already smiling.
The
focus gets in contact with two system elements; he is deeply impressed by
them. The constellation guide, again, facilitates this process by using
the “cataleptic hand posture”.
The
constellation is about to come to an end. The client is facing the focus
to learn the findings he has gathered. This can be accomplished through intense
eye contact or by holding each other’s hands, as in this case.
The client has taken over her own place from the focus. The constellation
facilitator advises her in how she can let the new system take effect in
her daily life. As a reminder she may use a certain gesture.
