Self-love is the best prerequisite for a fulfilling life. It arises when the self and the ego come into balance, when there is equilibrium between the individual and their environment, between the visible physical and the immaterial spiritual, between the human and the divine. One way to achieve this healing balance is through autopoietic constellations, which Siegfried Essen presents in this book. Its foundations include not only systemic insights and the rules of constellation work but also the aspect of spirituality from an early Christian and Buddhist perspective. The numerous case studies and practical exercises focus on our desires, wants, requests, and prayers, on cultivating self-talk, and on the healing and empowering engagement with ancestral lines and family trees, with medicine wheels and chakras.
