Photo with Bert Hellinger, Herzberg near Aarau, 2005<\/em><\/p><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I met Bert Hellinger - the founder of family constellations - over twenty years ago.
I was able to get to know him personally as part of a training programme. I was young, full of questions - and deeply impressed by the power of his work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos with participants were rare for him. But with me, he said: \u00abI have a good feeling.\u00bb<\/em>
This picture represents more than a fleeting moment. It carries the memory of an early resonance - of an inner realisation. For me, it shows more than just a meeting: It reminds me of the clear connection to what was moving in me at the time. I saw him at work - and immediately sensed that this work leads deeply. It can lead surprisingly directly to inner peace, to transformation, to more life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet \u2013 over the years, doubts arose.
I read critical voices, heard about controversies. Suddenly there was uncertainty. Not towards the method \u2013 I had always experienced constellation work itself as effective and healing. But I became cautious regarding Bert Hellinger as a person. I asked myself: Can I publicly stand for this work without being put into a box?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I withdrew.
I stopped facilitating constellations.
The source within me remained perceptible \u2013 but it no longer flowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many years later, something decisive happened.
I read his autobiography, which he wrote shortly before his death at over ninety years old. While reading, my heart opened again. I found answers to questions that had accompanied me for a long time. I understood better why he was often criticised \u2013 and what his stance towards that criticism was. Something inside me became clear. The old ambivalence gave way to a quiet yes. I was able to take him back into my heart. And with that, also the source from which his work had been nourished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This source \u2013 for me, it is an inner knowing that reaches deeper than thinking or intention.
A quiet force that guides us when we give it space.
Bert Hellinger was, for me, someone who surrendered to this force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I felt the connection to this source \u2013 and to him \u2013 again, my own strength returned.
I began to develop learning constellations, to bring them into schools \u2013 and I noticed: the flow was back.
What had been blocked for so long began to move. Not because I had planned it \u2013 but because I was able to connect again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The source does not ask for the way.<\/strong>
It knows where it wants to go.
I am grateful that I can listen to it again.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
