After a family constellation session, it is important to take some time to reflect on the experience and integrate any new insights or understanding that you may have gained. The below recommendations can help the work to have its greatest effects.   Here are a few things that you can do: Do not go deeper over the step-by-step of your constellation; in doing so you will try to interpret them by analyzing what happened and this work goes far beyond the realm of the mind. Instead, reflect on your feelings and emotions: think about how you felt during the session and what emotions came up for you. In the upcoming days, write down your thoughts and insights: writing down your thoughts can help you process and integrate the information that you received during the session. Avoid talking about the steps of your own constellation to others as this may dilute the soul work done. Wait at least 30 days if you feel the urge to talk about it. Keep the last image observed in your heart as a seed that has been planted within you and will grow with time. Practice self-care: take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. Engage in activities that bring you relaxation and joy, and that make you feel good. Trust that you got what you needed and were ready for and that you picked the right facilitator and experience for you. If the facilitator has suggested you do some activity after the constellation, focus on it with the intention that was mentioned for you and honour the process. Follow up with your facilitator: talk to your facilitator about your experience and ask any questions that you may have. It is also important to discuss with the facilitator what are the best strategies for you to integrate the insights gained from the session, and also to consider that it is not a substitute for medical treatment and that it is best to consult with a licensed therapist or a medical professional if you have any questions or concerns regarding your mental or physical health. Seek other forms of support: depending on the issues you are dealing with, you may also benefit from other forms of therapy, counselling, or support groups. Allow for time to integrate what has been experienced. Hellinger has mentioned that sometimes constellations take up to two years for its full effect. Allow yourself to feel and release the emotions that come up after a constellation. For a while, after a constellation, some people may feel worse, before feeling better. A lot of emotions and insights will come up after the session. Do not set up another constellation right away. Although it is beneficial to participate in group sessions and represent or observe, it is advised that you wait some time before setting up another constellation. In general, I would recommend doing it after 30 days, but we can discuss the best approach depending on each seeker's goals and needs. If your constellation has not reached a “happy ending” do not think it did not work. Constellations will continue to process through time at the level of the soul and sometimes a constellation that seems unresolved will generate the strength you need to continue the process in your healing journey.   Sometimes is not what our minds want that makes us feel better, but what our souls desire.
