The Enneagram
The Enneagram - What it is and is not
The Enneagram is an archetypal framework, a psycho-emotional-spiritual tool, that offers in-depth insight to individuals, groups and collectives. Working with the Enneagram empowers people to take responsibility for their own behaviors and growth. It gives a greater understanding of why they act and react the way they do.
It’s felt that each of us is born with a particular psycho-emotional pattern—a type-specific pattern of thinking, feeling, and being in the world. We unconsciously adapt to survive and navigate through childhood, family, social and trauma impacts and experiences.
The Enneagram creates self-awareness and uncovers the patterns of behavior that sub-consciously drive and motivate us to act in certain ways. When we make these patterns and motivations conscious, we are able to choose more wisely, transcend reactive patterns and develop richer, more supportive ways of being.
The Enneagram is, therefore, a sense-making tool or a framework that enables the development of self-knowledge and meta-awareness. It offers a rich map to personal development from an open systems perspective. It’s regarded as a map of many things, including: sense-making, personality, intelligences, instincts, energy, patterns, and awareness.
It’s multidimensional, and consists of many systems including three Centers of Intelligence, nine main Enneagram types, 27 subtypes, wings, and three instincts (self-preservation, social and sexual).
It is much more than just a Personality Mapping system, as it’s so popularly called.
It does not box in people, but rather opens a pathway to self-discovery and greater personal awareness.
It can help us calm ourselves down, help us Wake-Up (bring us out of the trance of our type’s patterns) and help us become a wise better human. And help us assist others in the this too.
Enneagram Wayfinder™ ESP+ : Enneagram, Systems and Presence
My work focuses on going deep, helping increase awareness of self, patterns, systems. With awareness and acknowledgement, the unconscious becomes conscious and the invisible becomes visible.
How? With exquisite presence.
