What are Family Constellations?
some might wonder
They are the tool of the philosophy of adult love. They allow us to see reality and what limits us in our fulfillment; discovering, to release them, the imitations and other unconscious ties of the past; making us increasingly stronger, autonomous and successful.

Success in Life
May 1 & 2
There is a law that directs our entire life: the law of balance and, in particular, the law of balance between giving and receiving. A good giving corresponds to a good receiving. Giving is called working, good receiving is called success. When we begin to realize that the results we expect do not arrive is when we enter a crisis.
Success in life, success in career, both are achieved together.

Frequently Asked Questions on
Family Constellations
What is the Philosophy of the New Family Constellations based on?
On the one hand, we have the phenomenological and systemic vision of life:
- With the need to see reality exactly as it is and not what we believe about it.
- The knowledge that we are all interconnected and our reactions are the result of unconscious interconnections.
- Even so, we are the only ones responsible for our actions.
On the other hand, the Forces of Love, which govern the evolution of life and put us in tune with the great principles of the universe:
- Assent and agreement with existence as it is.
- I respect those who came before us and the strength of the newer systems.
- All human beings are equal, whatever they have done.
- Everything is compensated continually, in one’s life or through generations.
And finally, the understandings of Transactional Analysis about how to live as the conscious, active, respectful and serving Adult.
What are the fields of application of the New Family Constellations?
These fields of application cover the entire human life: health, money, love, work, commitments, spirituality.
The most requested are health, economic, relationship, children and work problems, including the success of projects, businesses or companies.
Personal development: each workshop or course is a step of growth towards more awareness and more love.
What are Parallel Constellations?
We can say it is a new tool in which during a Constellation, if you feel that you have the same topic as the client, you consult it with your guide and if your guide says yes, then you get up, stand a little apart from the Constellation and simply wait. And during that time, the forces of the main Constellation will fill you, move you, cleanse you and after a while you will feel an immense cleansing, expansion, healing and you will have received that healing from the main Constellation; and that is what we call Parallel Constellation.

General Recommendations
THE GUIDE, The cells in our body respond to a movement of expansion and contraction. It has been proven that our biological “antenna” has two movements: towards more life or towards the past. Towards the field of new possibilities or towards the field of probabilities linked to the repetition of the past. And our guide is the one who always guides us towards the new, towards more life to stop repeating the past. “The dialogue with the guide” is a fundamental tool and it is advisable, before participating in any workshop, to learn to practice this dialogue, watching the video “The Dialogue with the Inner Guide” 2020, and doing the “asking the guide” exercise.
It will also help you a lot to watch the following videos:
