In this session we look at the Heart center and its 3 layers: the physical heart, the emotional heart and the spiritual heart.

Session 4: The Body Center Part 1
In this session we will learn about our Autonomic Nervous System from a Polyvagal Theory viewpoint. We will learn how each type responds to stress and some typical stress triggers. We will map our own system, tuning into the 3 centers when a stressful situation is called to mind. We will also learn some "Vagus Nerve Techniques" to quickly help the nervous system return to a calm and connected place.

Your Nervous System and how Your Type Responds to Stress
Session 5: The Body Center Part 2
In this session, we continue our exploration of the body center by looking at what each Enneagram type avoids. The avoidances are born from an overwhelming experience in childhood. The intelligence of the nervous system moves to a coping strategy that contains the overwhelm so it maintains the equilibrium of the system. This energy however never completed itself, is contained in the body and continues to inform how we respond to life. It is like an outdated software program running in the background influencing our perceptions, relationships, emotions, and leads to reactivity. We will learn how to work with the Law of 3, bringing the polarities of each type together so we can free that energy to be expressed as our Essence. A guided practice will give us tools and resources to stay present to the hidden avoidance so it can be felt and encountered with compassion and curiosity without re-triggering the overwhelm in our nervous systems.

Protected: Soften the Shell: Moving from Survival Patterns to Embodied Presence with the Enneagram

In this video we cover the following topics:

  1. The Head center – 9 ways we filter reality through our “lens of perception” and 9 ways we tend to focus our attention. 
  2. The distorted belief systems of each type.
  3. The “corrected lens” or “Holy Idea” for each type. 
  4. Flashlight vs lantern awareness
  5. Repeating questions Inquiry Process (included in Homework handout) 
  6. Guided Meditation using our Felt Sense Awareness

Handouts attached include:

Homework, Handout on Paradigms (content from the slides), The Work, Radical Inquiry, Grounding Handout, Enneagram Basics and Enneagram Wheel Diagram. The Work and Radical Inquiry handouts can assist in working with your limiting belief of your type. The Enneagram Basics and Wheel are good references for the framework and includes important information on the avoidance and explanation of the defense mechanism for your type.  

I invite you to spend some time with the handouts and the homework for the week. It takes time and intention to see our patterns clearly, feel them in the body and open to new possibilities!
