WHAT IMPACT DO POLITICAL CONSTELLATIONS HAVE?

Systemic constellations act on a level of awareness accessible to everyone. The work with representative perception has proved itself as an effective tool for laying open interrelations in a system. As a representative, an individual finds they can go beyond themselves and expand their awareness to experience themselves as part of the system. Thus, in the constellation, a mirror image of society appears. The hierarchy, conflicts of interest or co-operation made visible, reflect the dynamics that operate in social or political systems.

The Strength of Integration
The work with constellations results in a high rate of integration. They bring to light how strongly a conflict is influenced by each individuals perception. This insight inspires respect and acceptance for ones counterpart: The adamant classification of “Good” and “Evil” or “us and them” can dissolve. The strength of integration in constellations is an important quality and a decisive step in conflict transformation. Experience shows that resolving conflicts with integration is clearly more effective and helpful than an approach of polarity.

Directness as Potential
In constellations, the permission to act with liberating directness opens up great potential for transforming conflicts. It has been proven that as soon as the conflicting party declare themselves, tensions in communication unclench. Since each individual in a constellation is listened to and acknowledged, blocked energy can flow freely. Honesty and directness are intrinsic elements in this process characterised by a high rate of integration. 

Honouring Complexity
Political constellations are able to illustrate and perceive the interaction of several levels of reality at the same time. With this method, the complexity of the system is honoured and taken into account. All participants, when they are acknowledged in their individual roles, contribute to the resolution of the conflict.
