We will also cover some theories of where type comes from - nature and nurture and the soul's journey from ego to Essence.

Protected: From Ego to Essence with the Enneagram, Building a Bridge: A Two-Part Online Workshop

In Part 2 of this workshop, we looked at how our life force energy can become distorted in our 3 centers. In the head center, we take on colored lenses of perception so we limit our view and experience of reality. In the heart center, those beliefs distort our relational and emotional aspects of our selves. And in the body center, we guard against life, so we constrict our life force energy into the fight, flight or freeze responses of the nervous system. We do all this in the attempt to keep us safe, loved and part of a group. But there is a cost involved  – that is our Essence. 

In order to experience more of our essential self or True Self, the invitation is to come into Presence with ourself. At the body center, this is about relaxed, grounded presence. In the heart center, we open to our self and emotions with self-compassion and love and in the mind, we begin to identify with the neutral witness of it all; The awareness that opens us up to making new choices.  

The meditation begins at minute 44.18 for your reference.
