Luminous Constitutional Intelligence™

Overview & Framework Record

Asessment. To conduct a full assessment using the Luminous Constitutional Intelligence™ methodology, follow these steps:

1. Initial Consultation: Begin with an in-depth conversation to understand the individual's background, concerns, and goals. Assess their Prakriti (birth constitution) and Vikriti (current imbalance).

1. Constitutional Assessment: Utilize Ayurvedic principles to identify the individual's dosha balance (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). Assess their emotional tone (Rasa), vitality (Rakta), capacity (Mamsa), reserves (Meda), identity structure (Asthi), nervous system sensitivity (Majja), and creative essence (Shukra).

1. Developmental Stage Mapping: Determine the individual's current developmental stage using frameworks like Kegan's Orders. Identify the challenges and gifts associated with their dosha during this stage.

1. Intervention Planning: Develop a personalized intervention plan that includes constitutional stabilization practices tailored to the individual's dosha. Ensure the interventions are appropriate for their current depth of being and developmental needs.

1. Ongoing Monitoring: Schedule regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust the intervention plan as necessary. Pay attention to shifts in the individual's emotional tone, vitality, and overall constitutional balance.

1. Integration of Insights: Encourage the individual to integrate insights gained from the assessment into their daily life, ensuring they have the support needed to navigate any developmental transitions.

1. Documentation: Maintain detailed records of the assessment findings, intervention plans, and progress notes to track changes over time and inform future sessions.

By following these guidelines, you will ensure a comprehensive and constitutionally-informed assessment process.

Best Practices. 1. Assess constitution early in every engagement — it determines how everything else lands.

1. Use Ayurvedic support during positive disintegration — Vata-calming for instability, Pitta-cooling for inflammation, Kapha-stimulating for stagnation.
2. Honor constitutional differences — don't force Kapha pace on Vata people or Vata pace on Kapha people.
3. Use dhatu-depth awareness in somatic work — identify which tissue layer is being accessed.
4. Map gunas to IFS — sattva = Self-energy, rajas = protector activation, tamas = exile compression.
5. Integrate seasonal and circadian awareness into program timing.
6. Apply constitutional intelligence for personalized retreat design.
7. Don't pathologize any dosha — each is a gift when balanced.
8. Pair with Enneagram for the richest constitutional-personality portrait.
9. Remember: 5,000 years of body wisdom deserves integration, not dismissal.
