Session 2: The Head Center
In this session we talked about the the nine lenses of perception. Each type has taken on a false paradigm that includes beliefs, perceptions and values. This paradigm leads to our main focus of attention.

Session 3: The Heart Center
In this session we look at the Heart center and its 3 layers: the physical heart, the emotional heart and the spiritual heart. We learn to build our bridge to our essence with heart qualities such as self compassion, allowing emotions and the courage to be with what is true in the moment and align with authenticity.

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.

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 It is like an outdated software program running in the background influencing our perceptions, relationships, emotions, and leads to reactivity.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: Building a Bridge from Ego to Essence: A Holistic Approach to the Enneagram and Embodying Your True Self

In this video we cover the multi-layered heart center. It is a powerful center that unites all aspects of ourselves. The standing practice starts at minute 22.30. The meditation goes from minute 30-44. The rest of the session is looking at each type and the “vices and virtues” of each type. We learned a lot from everyone sharing their experiences. 

The following handouts are attached under “Exercise Files”:

Self-Compassion, Staying Centered in the World, List of Core Emotions, the Great Mother, Handout with the Vices/Virtues, Homework for the week with reflection questions, and The Heart as the Unifying Force. I’m giving you resources to pick and choose from during this course and on your journey going forward.
