The beauty of gratitude is that it gives us the freedom to let go of things that gave us much in the past but no longer correspond to the changes that have since occurred within us. This is how I feel regarding the method of Family Constellations, from which I once received a great deal. […]
Spiritual intelligence
" I will call the world a school instituted for the purpose of teaching little children to read. I will call the human heart the hornbook used in that school. And I will call the child able to read, the soul made from that school and its hornbook. Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul? A place where the heart must feel and suffer in a thousand diverse ways...."

The Secret of the Path
“I would like to say something about the secret of the path. You advance on your path by leaving everything from before behind, even your old insights. But there is something more about the path. You reach the goal with the last step. Everything before that is simply preparation.” — Bert Hellinger I love this […]

Bert Hellinger on premature forgiveness
“…premature reconciliation and forgiveness hinder constructive dialogue when they cover up or postpone conflict and leave its consequences to the other family members. This is particularly destructive when the one who was wronged attempts to release the offender from his or her guilt, as if victims had such power. When reconciliation is necessary, the person […]

The balance between giving and receiving
In systemic constellations and the work of their creator, Bert Hellinger, there is a perspective that is perhaps less popular but certainly worth reflecting upon. As I shared in the article regarding Personal Conscience, one of the three basic needs that maintain human relationships in a healthy state is the balance between giving and taking. […]

Growth towards death
*”The deeper a relationship becomes and the longer it exists, the more death enters and becomes a part of it. We may enter a partnership with the hope that it will fulfill us and end our need or loneliness. The reality, however, is that it inevitably leads to death. Even when love flourishes in a […]
According to Bert Hellinger, the creator of Family Constellations, jealousy is a feeling whose roots may lie deep within family history, often having nothing to do with the personality of the one experiencing it. If there is a connection, it is simply that this individual was born into a specific family system and has inherited […]

Bert Hellinger on love triangles
*”True love accepts and desires the other exactly as they are. This touches something very deep and allows love to flourish. When a woman treats her husband like a child, trying to change him or acting as if she knows what is best for him, he often takes a mistress. His mistress is his true […]

Why the Victim is Rarely Helpless
“When a wrong is committed against someone, they suffer helplessly. The more helpless the victim, the more severely we judge the offender. But the injured partner is rarely completely helpless after the harm has been done. They usually have the opportunity to act—either to end the relationship or to demand atonement from their partner, […]
According to Bert Hellinger, the creator of Family Constellations: *“In all our various relationships, our basic needs interact in complex ways: The need to belong, which is about bonding. The need to maintain a balance between giving and taking, which is about equilibrium. The need for the safety of social convention and predictability, which is […]

Living the Answers
*“When he was 31 years old, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a letter to a friend: ‘Stop searching for the answers. You would not be able to live them if you found them.’ This is a very important psychotherapeutic axiom: do not give anyone an answer they are not ready to live.”* — Bert […]

Bert Hellinger, Who Knows Orpheus the Lesser
This is a story retold by Bert Hellinger in his book “Love’s hidden symmetry”: “In olden times, when the gods still seemed to be closer to human beings, two singers named Orpheus lived on the same island. One of them was Orpheus the Great—the very same one we know from the legends. He was the […]
“However, it is our Souls, not our Egos that create our lives. For instance, our Souls may choose to experience sickness or other kinds of loss or suffering as a way to be initiated into deeper wisdom so that we might grow. Such choices are anathema to the Ego, whose function is to help keep […]
