Family Constellations Revealed: Hellinger's Family and other Constellations Revealed (The Systemic View)

It is incredible how Indra explains and literally makes you feel each kind of constellation. I resonated with a lot of the examples, and a lot of them allowed me to understand family and friends situations. Now I have a better understanding of the right order of a family system, and the consequences of its malfunctions, I better understand my last constellation, and I have put in practice things like table constellations, and even my place in bed, and grateful changes have started in my life, like a better relationship with my kids, my mother, an even my boss. This book is a must if you want to improve your life, or if you want to take a better advantage of any constellation.

I liked that this book was concise and a quick read. I received a general overview of the subject which I wanted to obtain before I had my first session. This type of counseling is incredibly powerful for those dedicated to experiencing deep healing and personal growth at an execrated rate.

The author took his time to write a complete overview of constellation work, with focus on experieces from his own work or relevant work of others, lots of examples and meaningful explanations. Very helpful for those learning about constellation work, but also for people that want to better understand life and its hidden dynamics.

My aunt is a family constellator and talked about this for quite some time. As an introduction to the subject I think the book is pretty good with many examples, and has a nice perspective of neuroscience which puts it into a more scientific context. The two things I thought were missing were an overview of the phenomenology on which the theory is originally based and the anthropological perspective which helps us understand families in different cultures and which also inspired the author originally.

I know Indra personally, he trained me as a family constellator. This book contains all the basics you need to know about this wonderfull technique. If you really want to master it you need additional readings, but this book is very clearly explained and covers nearly everything what the systemic view is about. For me it became a way of life ...

Indra explained constellations better than great Bert Hellinger has done over the course of years in too many books. It is short, precise and to the point without wandering into the evangelical style which Bert likes to sometimes use. Practical examples clearly show steps and procedures - everything is written in contemporary style, easy to read. I am not disaproving any of Hellingers works but when you want to introduce yourself to this kind of work Indra's book should be first, only then creator's of method.

My great grandmother died at age 36 from tetanus leaving seven children; my grandmother died at age 29 from an infected heart valve leaving three children; my father died at age 66 from vasculitis, my son died at age 16 years & 11 months in an auto wreck. And that is just one of the themes I recognized in this book. It is mind blowing! It is well written, it shows examples of groups that were formed from a seeker's question, with the results they got; and then how they released the energy. After my son died, I delved very deeply into spiritual subjects, until I got so weary of it and sick enough to turn my attention to the mundane and start cooking; studying nutrition, avoiding my food allergies. And then to come full circle and find out that a lot of diseases have a spiritual root. I mean, we all knew that, but this book explains exactly how it works.

Recommended read for anyone that wants to understand family dynamics more. It's great for deeper healing.

This book is just an all round, great read! Once i started reading it, i could hardly put it down. While some stories only tickled my imagination, others drew me in and it really struck a cord. It feels almost weird how the stories seemed to be talking about me. Reading this book has set things in motion for me. Now i have covered the basics in how family constellations work, i cant wait to experience it personally! Thanks xxxxxx

Brilliant FC book

Bravo Mr. Preiss! This is the second book I have read about Bert Hellinger's method in English; the first was Joy Manne's excellent introduction. Your (Indra Preiss') detailed compilation of practical examples is also a treasure trove. Let me apologize for what I am now about to write since it is a criticism but absolutely necessary for you to know: this book may be fine for people with English as a second language, but the English is simply not good enough for those who have English as their mother tongue. It is "awkward" and "just not quite right" most of the time, which makes it tiring reading. The punctuation is also full of mistakes, there are too many paragraphs, some are indented and others not. You write that the British and Belgians get along well; please ask some nice British academic friend of yours to edit it for you! If you do that it may become a bestseller. If you leave it like this it will remain useful - however - in the realm of the "self-published mess". Your spoken English is obviously excellent and more than good enough for constellations, but the written word is something else.

Excellent book, excellent writing. This book covers all the bases with clear examples. I could not put it down once I started reading! I will re-read it in another month for a more in-depth info. Highly recommended.

For those starting out on a new course of self healing, and or becoming a facilitator of family constellations, this book beautifully, yet clearly takes us through the pathways of this ancient journey, originally brought together from shamanic African practice. It blends the ancient knowledge with the the new world we live in articulately and with a deep understanding. Thank you.
