Laws of Healing: Getting well, staying well Paperback – May 27, 2011

I have spent my whole life in various forms of therapy, workshops, meditations, et cetera, to help me recover from my childhood family dynamics. Was diagnosed with PTSD along with my older brother after my younger brother died from essentially all the same issues. A friend gave me a session in Family Constellations. That one session and the follow up shifted EVERYTHING. Things that previously had completely alienated me from my birth family (and therefore my ability to create ongoing stability and love in my personal home life) were "represented" clearly and precisely by people who didn't know me and didn't know anything about the dynamics in our family. What's even more incredible, huge unresolved conflicts were untangled and brought to a healthy and healing resolution in love, which resulted in a huge (and wonderful) shift in my personal relationship with my lover. The effects of this work were so profound that I bought about 7 books and started reading to understand what had just happened in this invisible Knowing Field (morphogenic field) to bring such release and positive outcome when a lifetime of other therapies, meditations and techniques (such as EFT) have been very wonderful but not able to go as directly to the Source and facilitate a harmonious resolution so quickly. This little book has given me access to that insight. It's profound. It is taking me way off the map to include concepts that I never thought possible. As I apply what I am learning (which in some cases has felt far-fetched and impossible) I am finding surprising and harmonious outcomes in long-standing inner conflicts that I felt I was doomed to repeat for the rest of my life.Understanding what is going on here is giving me the insight and techniques to unlock my own potential as well as help,others to do the same. It is also explaining what happens when, as a screenwriter and actress, I have found myself doing my very best work by what I call "dropping down into the worlds" and letting the characters just "channel" through me. That process is very much alive in my spiritual-emotional-physical system (after many, many years of trial and error). What I could never put together prior to this was how to explore my own invisible systems and bring them into Harmony. This little book is giving me those tools so that I can help myself as well as help others who want to actualize their full potential.

This is an essential by the father of Family Constellation!

"Laws of Healing" challenges us to look at illness in a different way. Almost every condition comes down to a lack of connection with our family, especially disharmony with our parents. If we can't accept how life came to us through them, we can't fully accept the life that came to us through them. In other words, when we reject them, we reject life. And this is where illness starts to take hold of our bodies. It is as if "dis-ease" arises from a lack of love, connection and belonging. In order to heal at our deepest levels, we need to re-establish and/or recognize these elements in our lives. "Laws of Healing" seems to suggest that there are profound changes possible by exploring those invisible dynamics between parent and child, and that it's never too late to change your perception of your relationships, and thus change those relationships, regardless of age.

Wish I'd known about Bert Hellinger earlier in my life. What an incredible man. This book was my introduction to Family Constellations, which really focused my thinking in directions I hadn't thought were relevant to me. It also, in a fairly uncomplicated way, explains how physical illness in the body is just a link in a chain. Preceding that is dysfunction - pain, misunderstanding, fear, etc. in the other elements of our whole being. Our mentality, spirit, beliefs, and tribal connections/obligations contribute to health or illness. Trying to heal only the physical body is like remodeling a home around termites, mold and a broken foundation.

I have read a lot of Bert Hellinger books but this one is the worst. I personally can’t stand reading a book that poses more questions than it does answers. The content of this book is biased towards the China Study claiming that it’s best to do a plant based diet. I don’t understand how someone whose focus is on healing ancestral trauma is overstepping their boundaries and talking about diet. This book was annoying g to read mostly because of all the questions. Use statements. Make claims. Don’t waste your time or money on this book. A better one to read is “Loves Hidden Symmetries.”

Good book

Excellent, powerful.
