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 It is like an outdated software program running in the background influencing our perceptions, relationships, emotions, and leads to reactivity.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 you will learn about your Autonomic Nervous system (ANS) from a Polyvagal Theory point of view. We will look at stress reactions for each type. You will be invited to map your own nervous system responses. It is good to do that for the “green zone” or on top of the ladder as well – use the same questions to really feel how that state feels as that should be your normal:) Pay attention to your triggers this week and also what helps you get out of the fight/flight or freeze. 

Handouts include:  

  1. Vagus Nerve stimulation techniques
  2. Polyvagal Attending exercises – just a write up of tuning into your state. 
  3. Homework for week 4
  4. STress triggers and ways to de-stress specific for each type. These suggestions take into consideration wings and arrows (other type qualities that are helpful for your type for balance). 
  5. The handout on virtues/vices – I added a section on feeling the virtue/essence qualities and how those relate to our feeling of safety.
