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 It is like an outdated software program running in the background influencing our perceptions, relationships, emotions, and leads to reactivity.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 first session, we “map the territory”, presenting a theory of where Enneagram type structure comes from as a combination of temperament and adaptive protective strategies.  A framework is given for softening the protective shell of the ego so we can access more of our Essence through the gifts of the 3 centers- head, heart and belly. Working with the patterns of our type from a somatic lens of perception will help to unwind patterns at a deep subconscious level that will reverberate to the heart and mind. Please find attached under “Exercise Files” handouts that include: homework for the week, the chart on motivation/attention, and one page summaries of each type.
