THE ENNEAGRAM IS AN ANCIENT SYMBOL. THE ENNEAGRAM

THE ENNEAGRAM IS AN ANCIENT SYMBOL.
THE ENNEAGRAM OF PERSONALITY IS ABOUT YOUR TYPE.
THE ENNEAGRAM OF ESSENCE IS ABOUT WHO YOU ARE.
THE SYMBOL IS THE PROCESS TO GET BACK TO WHO YOU ARE.

The Enneagram, as a symbol, has been used to describe processes of all kinds.

The Enneagram as used to do inner work, self-development, and to bring wholeness to your life, describes how you are simultaneously

✅connected to something much larger than yourself
✅one of many
✅neither one way or another, but something different altogether
✅not who you take yourself to be
✅constantly in motion, dynamic, and alive
✅moving towards wholeness or away from wholeness
✅already have everything you need

Working with a teacher, guide, spiritual mentor, therapist, coach, shaman, and/or group of seekers is how you do the work.

The Enneagram is the map.

When the work and the map come together, you are bringing a powerful combination of of science, math, psychology, and spirituality together in a way that will bring

🦋strength
🦋connection
🦋goodness
🦋love
🦋authenticity
🦋depth
🦋clarity
🦋knowing
🦋joy

to every moment.

It is a way of coming home to yourself.

I'M LEARNING THAT LIFE AND LOVE AND GRIEF ARE INEX

I'M LEARNING THAT LIFE AND LOVE AND GRIEF ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This poem was in @newyorkermag this week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I didn't know who Jane Mead was so I went digging. She wrote about the link between nature and poetry. I can't help but wonder if she experienced life as poetry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My own inner work and the work I do with clients eventually leads to the outside. It makes me think about the time when our existence relied on our proximity to nature - our entertainment, food, clothing, shelter - it all came from the land. The Land. It feels like it should be capitalized, no?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When a client feels shame, I often suggest weeding. Turning your hands in the soil is a powerful way to metabolize shame. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A long walk in the woods seems to disrupt a stuck emotion - those times when you can't get out of your own way - and help bring clarity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sitting under a tree or on a rock brings a sense of belonging.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nature is healing. In nature, you cannot help but experience the depth and breadth of life. Death is everywhere. But so is aliveness. Nature doesn't resist allowing it all to belong. If we see ourselves as part of this life cycle, we must do the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We must allow it all to be here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I connect with this depth and breadth, I know I am truly alive. I wonder if it was the same for Jane Mead.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I write here for all kinds of reasons but today, I'm just writing to remember this. I'd love to know if it resonates for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳For now, I'm just gonna head outside and sit under a tree. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

AWARENESS BRINGS 3X THE POWER!

You have 3 places you receive, process, and send information out into the world.

✅head brain
✅heart brain
✅gut brain

Each has a job to do but without awareness, they are often doing the wrong job.

The best decisions, actions, and responses to life will come when they are doing what they were designed to do which is

Your head brain is responsible for
📍reasoning
📍logic
📍curiosity
📍perception

Your heart brain is responsible for
📍connection
📍longing
📍purpose
📍creating thinking hormones

Your gut brain is responsible for
📍instinctual drives
📍impulse to take action
📍managing boundaries

The first step is to determine your preferred center: Where do you tend to take in information? Do you act first or think first?

Point your attention here for a day or two. Come back and tell me what you notice.
