PODCAST

The Pilamaya Podcast is a series from the Pilamaya Centre (UK) featuring conversations about integration psychotherapy, consciousness, and personal transformation. Hosted by Shaura Hall, it explores merging ancient wisdom with modern therapy, focusing on themes like relational healing and emotional growth.
In our third episode, we take a deep dive into The Nine Dimensions which is the unique psychotherapeutic and multidimensional framework that underpins the Pilamaya Centre’s Integration Psychotherapy (IP) training programme and further CPD offerings for therapists.
Instead of asking the client to conform to a fixed theory of mind, this practice is not defined by any single modality, but instead draws from the wisdom and experience of the world's oldest known sciences, Indigenous knowledge systems and yogic science, while also integrating the insights of modern psychology, philosophy and psychotherapy.
We learn this is a transpersonal approach — understanding the human being as a multidimensional system where body, mind, subconscious programming, ancestral burdens, environment and spirit all contribute to the lived experience of the person in front of us.
And what this multidimensional view means in practice is that IP therapists can meet their clients where they are — working with talk, movement, breath, art and ancestral or spiritual processes as needed.
Shaura talks about how the Nine Dimensions framework found its way to her and Susan recalls a Nine Dimensions training delivered through the lens of constellation work with each participant representing a different dimension as part of the constellation to help a client better see where they are stuck, what can be let go of and what lies waiting for them the other side of their therapeutic explorations.
Here's a quick at-a-glance guide to each dimension but for that deeper dive, listen to the episode and don’t miss the Pilamaya Podcast free newsletter (subscriber link below) which this month (March 2026) will offer a Nine Dimensions Yoga Nidra practice
