The Enneagram is a brilliant personality system that provides insight into our everyday personal and business relationships. That’s great news because, “A great relationship is about two things, first find out the similarities and second, respect the differences.” – Unknown What is the Enneagram? The Enneagram provides the road map to understand the natural similarities […]
For the past 12 years, I have incorporated the wisdom of the Enneagram personality system as well as the healing energy work of Reiki. They compliment each other perfectly and to be honest, though I am open to many other modalities, I did not feel the need to add anything else to my practice. Then in 2011, upon return from a phenomenal trip to South Africa – something new entered my field of awareness. My stepmom became very ill immediately after arriving home from our trip and after a trip to the doctor’s office to have blood work done – a friend recommended that she see a biontologist in her area. By this point she had been extremely ill for a week and my father was quite concerned. So they decided to go and she felt immediate relief from the illness.
It didn’t work when I had to answer for myself, to know what my opinion was and risk that it was different from everyone else. It began to get confusing as an adult when my opinions were challenged. How could I discover and speak my truth and still keep the peace? I felt lost and empty. Of course that was the beginning of my awakening journey. I learned that my attempt to keep everyone else happy, was not really working for my highest good. I was paying a price for it. I also learned that going along with others when I didn’t necessarily agree 100% was also not serving them in their highest interest.
What I have noticed in my practice is that once my male clients realize the benefit of making regular appointments, they commit fully. The next session is booked before leaving the office and they do not have to put it on the “to do” list. My female clients on the other hand tend to call when they are in crisis! I just “have to see you” is the call I will get. The build up of stress in their lives is causing more challenge than they can ignore and it’s time to come back into balance. We get to choose how to support ourselves. My experience both personally and with my clients is that many women still have a pattern of putting themselves last. I can handle IT – whatever IT is! We pay a price for this choice and it’s not typically a monetary price at first! It’s a quality of life price.
You can see easily from different points of view and tend to agree with people more than disagree with them. You feel like you have to take what life brings you because you can’t do much about it anyway. You are pretty easy to please and usually feel that what you have is good enough for you. If these statements resonate with you then read on to learn more about Type Nine. Remember that we have a bit of all types within us, so look for the way Type Nine shows up in you.
You have big energy and passion for life, wanting to make a difference in this world. Truth and justice are extremely important and you are ready to take a stand and fight for what is right. You know what you want and are always ready to take action towards it. This is your life and you will take charge of it, there is no question of that! If these statements resonate with you, then read on to learn of the motivation of Type Eight on the Enneagram. Remember that we have a bit of all types within us, so look for the way Type Eight shows up in you.
Are you the type who looks at the world as a big smorgasbord and you can’t wait to taste a bit of everything? Like a kid in a candy store ever watchful of what will grab your attention next. You love the excitement of creating and starting new projects, meeting new people or sitting down to choose which of your current stack of books to read. It’s only Monday but you are delighting in planning all the options available for the coming weekend. If so – read more to learn more about the motivation behind our charismatic Type Seven. Remember that we all have a bit of every type in us so it is valuable to explore how each type fits into our own way of being.
Type Five can be called the Investigator, The Thinker, The Innovator, The Observer, The Specialist or The Expert. Knowledge, understanding and insight are highly valued by Fives and they are constantly on a journey of learning. “A day without learning is like a day without sunshine.” They prefer to learn through reading and observing rather than participating right away. A type Five’s attention is drawn to the unusual, the overlooked, secretive, the occult, the bizarre or otherwise unknown territory where they can carve out a niche of expertise!
Ready-Set-Go! Do you love to keep yourself busy? Like to make to-do lists, set goals, have a plan and don’t mind putting in the time and focus to accomplish what you set out to do? Do you love competition and have that natural optimistic attitude about life? If these statements resonate with you then follow along to learn more about the drive of the Enneagram Type Three and how that can play out in your life.
Would you consider yourself a real people person? That life is about relationships; of being needed by others in your life to support them and keep them in a happy place whenever possible? Do you always like to see the best in others? Do you intuitively know what kind of mood someone is in without having to ask? If you find yourself nodding with agreement, then read on to learn more about Type Two.
