This book emerged from the joint exploration of the author and Bert Hellinger regarding the relationship between shamanism and family constellations. It describes the dynamics and effectiveness of Bert Hellinger's systemic work from the perspective of traditional shamanism. The author highlights the spiritual principles that underlie both shamanism and family constellations. He illustrates his theoretical investigations with examples from constellations, personal experiences with traditional rituals, and accounts from healers and shamans. The nature of the soul and its interplay with personality and body play a central role in this context. Rituals and exercises that can enhance the healing effects of constellation work round out the book.
