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 It is like an outdated software program running in the background influencing our perceptions, relationships, emotions, and leads to reactivity.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 you will learn about your Autonomic Nervous system (ANS) from a Polyvagal Theory point of view. We will practice some ways to “stimulate” the vagus nerve to help our nervous systems relax. We also look at stress reactions for each type along with ways to de-stress and balance. You will be invited to map your own nervous system responses on your own this week with the guidance of the handouts.  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. Two Mapping the nervous system handouts – one that includes fight/flight and freeze and the 2nd one is for “ventral vagal state”. You will be asked to call to mind the various states of stress to tune into yourself so you can recognize the somatic signs of these states so you can then learn to pause and breathe. Please do something to shake off the states after the exercises!  
  3. Reflection questions for week 4
  4. Stress triggers (not covered in the presentation)  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).
