The Enneagram was originally designed to show us the main ways we avoid living in presence — and forget the totality of who we are.
It’s also an invitation to remember all nine dimensions of ourselves and the reality of our true nature.
Modern psychology further illuminates the Enneagram by helping us see the most common ways our minds become unconsciously fixated and invested in our emotional, physical and cognitive energies.
We develop these fixations to defend ourselves against the fear and emotional pain of separating from our authentic self, from others, and from the Divine.
While these defenses once served a purpose, they now often leave us feeling isolated, cut off from our deepest sense of meaning and purpose.
The Enneagram can also help us cultivate a deeper sense of compassion for ourselves and those around us.
By observing who we truly are and embracing our fears and disowned shadow side…
… we become empowered to create healthy, stable, loving relationships as we move toward our own highest potential.
In the videos below, you’ll learn the practice of observing your fixation — without judgment — and remembering to love and accept who you are along the way.
You’ll hear from Russ Hudson, one of the foremost Enneagram teachers in the world, and Jessica Dibb, integrative breathwork trainer and one of the great innovators in the Enneagram field.
