You are walking outside and it starts to rain. You grumble, hunch your shoulders, and start walking faster. The rain is falling harder. You are losing the battle to stay protected and dry. Now it’s pouring and you are drenched.
And then a shift happens.
You smile.
You drop your shoulders and lift your face to the rain. Your tormentor has just become your friend, and you relax into a lovely intimacy with the rain, squishy shoes and all.
Have you had this experience? That moment of shift is the powerful thing. The outer conditions haven’t changed but your inner experience is radically different.
The Enneagram is a beautiful, elaborate psycho-spiritual system. And the whole point of the Enneagram is to help us make this shift. I call it the shift into Felt-Presence.
I’m going to be exploring how the Enneagram is a map to this Felt-Presence in my upcoming class on Friday, Feb. 2nd, 2024. I invite you to sign up here: https://www.sojournersinstitute.com/enneagram-sacred-geometry-pathways
We’ll be dissecting the Enneagram’s sacred geometry: the points, lines, and circle that depict four distinct pathways that move us from hunched and distracted to alive and open.
We’ll explore these four pathways:
The pathway of particularity - looking at our unique personalities with it’s struggles and gifts
The pathway of flow - looking at where we are stagnant and what leads the release of Lifeforce
The pathway of creation - looking at what wants to be born within us
The pathway of union - looking at what emerges out of the stillpoint of Felt-Presence
The primary fuel for these journeys is balance, and we will explore some key Triads within the Enneagram that show us how to achieve the balance that supports these four journeys.
Finally, we ground this journey to Felt-Presence with three spiritual practices that are both channels to and gifts of this empowering spiritual presence.
I hope you can join me - see you at the class!
