Stephano Sabetti

Stèphano Sabetti is a spiritual facilitator/mentor, eclectic writer and speaker on fundamental spiritual, philosophical, and psychological subjects. His subject matter includes topics such as the illusion of time, clinical spirituality, karma, peace, organizational intelligence, psychotherapy: East and West, spirit of sexuality and the future of love and happiness.
During his early career, Sabetti experienced different forms of the Western psychological tradition. He was drawn to non-linear (systemic) styles that were considered innovative, divergent and controversial for their time. In addition, he began to study Eastern approaches to health and lifestyle, which are based on a complementary system of energy principles, e.g., yin and yang. He found that despite seeming differences, various Western and Eastern alternative approaches shared many commonalities that pointed to a more comprehensive diagnosis of the mind, spirit, and body in which energetic balance was seen as an understanding of overall health.
Sabetti’s experiences led him to develop a spiritually oriented body psychotherapy - Life Energy Therapy (LET). In this view, all phenomena may be explained as being either "resonant" or "dissonant" with a universal force called life energy, which he proposes to be responsible for bringing all objects and processes into movement.
As Sabetti holds that LET principles apply to all aspects of our lives, he gradually developed a more generalized Life Energy Process, which expanded to include twelve forms and focus that concern energetic expression in human activities as varied as dance, art, music, education, and organizational processes.
Later, he developed the Path of No Way to focus on broader questions about the nature of spirituality, essentialness, and personal inquiry. He challenged traditional views of religion, suggesting that essential spirituality has no forms, rituals, and beliefs. Thus he contends that the way toward universal peace lies not in the contententious and often violent defense of prescribed religious differences but in the support of a spiritual commonality and a universal message of consentient love.
Ultimately, Sabetti's work may be seen as an attempt to create new methods to let go of suffering, to live spontaneously through spiritual inquiry and enjoy differences as complementary, experiencing what he calls choiceless freedom - a natural state of health, happiness, and wholeness.

Professional Development
Life Energy Therapy (L.E.T.)
Sabetti developed a body-centered energy therapy that combined Eastern philosophical beliefs with Western developments in Quantum physics.
Life Energy Process (L.E.P.)
Sabetti extended the basic L.E.T. concepts into the expressive arts, organizational consulting,. and several areas of healing and learning such as massage, yoga, pedagogy, and process inquiry.
Teaching Themes
Wholeness
Sabetti’s system is governed by three basic Laws of Wholeness: gathering, where resonant energy is drawn together, creating a field; distribution, where the energy is spread from the center out to the periphery and shared with other individuals, processes, etc.; and circuitry, where two-way communication occurs, though not necessarily in a linear direction. In the process’ movement, this law demonstrates that all parts of a whole and all unfinished or unwhole processes naturally seek completion, presenting themselves in an effort to be made whole or complete.
Change
According to Sabetti, change is the natural process of all dynamic systems. There isn't any way to avoid or stop the process, though we can disturb its energetic flow by deflection, diffusion, inihibition, and constriction. We can only decide if change will be healthy, serving the whole, or unhealthy, serving dis-ease.
Spirituality
Sabetti sees the spiritual path as a fundamentally transpersonal experience without rituals or beliefs (essential spirituality), Sabetti refers to his relatively formless approach as the Path of No Way.
