Tools To Know Yourself Better: The Enneagram

I believe that the more we get to know ourselves, the more liberation, happiness, fulfilment and peace we create for ourselves. When I was introduced to the Enneagram in my early/mid twenties, it gave me a context to understand myself more. I felt so relieved in a way, thinking, “Oh wow, I’m not the only one that feels this way?!” But more so, it helped me understand the underbelly of who I am. How to work with my shadow, understand what motivates me and how to take care of myself better, amongst many other gifts. Tools such an the Enneagram are not meant to pigeonhole us but to help us understand who we are better so that we can grow, evolve and move more into who we truly are in the essence of our being. The more we cultivate self-awareness and consciousness, the more we have to work with. It’s not about judging our personality- our quirks, foibles, fears, anxieties, needs, desires etc-but the exact opposite. It’s about embracing all parts of us as a means to come closer to who we truly are. To return back home within ourselves to the place, and being that we are, that is innately worthy, loveable and significant. The Enneagram is a wonderful way to not only get to know ourselves better, but it helps us understand others better too. When we understand our differences, we are more able to be compassionate rather than judgmental. It can be incredibly helpful in relationship as well - sometimes a life and relationship saver! In a world so at the ready to criticise one another for our differences, don’t you think it would be lovely to turn that around and create more compassion, instead?
