Guiding Principles
There are eight foundational aspects within each Sens8tion modality that guide the work...
Buddhism
Sens8tion counseling is carried out within a Buddhist framework centered around mindfulness, reflection, contemplation, & Buddhist teachings to support the unique work of each individual client. One of the foundational Buddhist teachings is the Eightfold Path, a set of eight elements such as Right View, Right Effort, and Right Mindfulness, to name a few. Incorporating the elements of this wisdom path helps support a central guiding intention of Sens8tion work: to lessen suffering and increase feelings of freedom and ease.
Mindful Eating
Based on the Well Nourished approach developed by Andrea Lieberstein, MPH, RDN, clients explore & assess fulfillment status of the eight body aspects including not only the physical but the emotional, psychological, and creative bodies, to name a few. Food and eating is used as an access point to help clients explore the areas of their lives that may need a bit more nourishment.
Ayurveda
Translating to "the science of life," Ayurveda is an ancient Indian healing system considered to be one of the oldest in the world. The Ayurvedic concept of health is called "Swasthya" which translates to being "rooted in the self." Ayurveda focuses on the exploration of one’s mind, body, and lifestyle habits, and harnesses this information to establish specific practices to promote optimal wellbeing for the unique individual. Sens8tion work starts by focusing on the eight factors of digestive fire or "Agni" as a tool to assess and balance the whole body system. According to Ayurveda, digestive issues are the root of most disease, and in recent years western science has supported an intricate link between the gut and mind. Focusing on the eight factors of gut health help guide practices to promote wellbeing of the body, mind, and spirt.
Reiki
Reiki energy works on the energetic systems of the body or "Chakras," in Sanskrit, to promote emotional, mental, and physical balance. Each of the eight Chakras are associated with a specific area of the body & the human experience- for example the Root Chakra is located at the base of the spine and is associated with sense of safety, self-acceptance, and security. Throughout ilfe, one or more of the Chakras can can become 'blocked' or imbalanced, causing emotional and even physical symptoms. Working with the Chakra system via Reiki helps enhance the work that is being done on the intellectual plane in Sens8tion counseling, and can even be provided from afar as Reiki travels through space and time. Reiki sesssions are often meditative and soothing, though can also shift energy in ways that manifest emotional release. Regardless of how the energy moves during the session, the intention of Reiki is for clients to leave with feelings of peace and ease.
Intuitive Eating
Developed by Evelyn Triboli, MS, RD, and Elyse Resch, MS, RD, FADA, CEDRD, intuitive eating is a set of principles that help individuals heal their relationship with food, eating, and body image. By using practices to help clients reconnect with their body's internal wisdom and decondition from diet culture's harmful messaging, the Intuitive Eating paradigm is integrated into the exploration of the eight body aspects and serves as a foundational component of the Sens8tion practice.
