Description
The arrangement can last from a few seconds to several hours, but most often it takes 1-1.5 hours.
Each arrangement is unique. But the frequent scenario of group placement can be described as follows. From the group, one participant (client) sits down to the constellator and talks about his problem. At this time, the constellator conducts a conversation and tunes in to the client. Further, the client determines the important elements from the problem situation and selects the deputies from the group members whom he sets in the field. Deputies listen to their feelings here and now from the general information field and the lineup begins. Deputies move according to the movement coming from the field, and also report information about what is happening to them. At this point, the client story layer appears. This information is processed by the client with the help of a constellator. Pronounced "resolving phrases" (phrases that help solve a problem situation, as well as changing the connection with members of the system and past history). The placement is completed.
Schematically, the arrangement can be described as follows:
- Conversation and attunement of the constellator, client and group;
- exhibiting figures "substitutes" or objects;
- movement of figures;
- “permissive” phrases and actions;
- completion of the arrangement.
In individual constellations, where there are no group members as alternates, the figures are exhibited by objects or in the imagination. The rest repeats the scenario of group constellation work.
