Wow! This really helped me with my book. Type 4 describes my heroine exactly in a way that other videos about 4's did not. I also learnt that my second main character is a 3. I'm definately going to rewatch this in the future! This might be my favorite enneagram resource. Please make more videos!!!
Gosh that is very comforting to know, the videos do take time, so as long as folks like you are benefiting and my loved brand is growing, it's worth it. It took me many years to consolidate these essential insights, and I see a lot of confusion in the enneagram world because the basics are missed. A 4 heroine will make a great change from the classic hero archetypes for sure. Glad to hear it.
this video is so great. It's amazing to see people that explain this model in a way that is deeper than the surface level. The doors metaphor is great and super healthy, and made me appretiacte and embrace the very pronounced 3ish side I have in me (my enneagram is 6). Thank you!
Yes I find working consciously to open both doors to balance our type is so helpful. As a t6 you can lean into red pearl 9 and green 3, gut knowing "let it go, let it flow" and 3 "efficiently manifesting your dreams."
I'm 9w1 and its hard because im overly critical of myself but have lived according to what I think others want me to be. I really connected with needing to open the door to the freedom and livelihood of 7 and goal oriented 3. The one in me is a powerhouse but 9 pulls me down heavy haha.
As a fellow 9, I get that, it's like a black hole of resisting our own fire and presence. So important to embrace our red pearl inner fire in the belly and be willing to "boom-boom shake the room" is my latest mantra. Impersonal love is our highest expression, so feel love in your belly, and let it move you to take 3 inspired action to show up more fully and go for your dreams.
Ah that makes my heart very happy to hear. Thanks for the comment and so glad the teaching landed for you. Let me know what other content you would love to see here.
Im writing an 8 character, and immediately, everything you said about 8s clicked exactly with what my instincts for that chatacter are. Didnt know she was an 8 per se til i got into enneagram, but everything fits. The open door to the cold, calculated 5, and needing to open to 2 just makes so much sense, and helped me know the character is working. (She has a romantic connection to a 2 btw, which makes sense to me for her opening to 2, both within herself and without towards others.)
So glad this helped your character development, 8 does have those layers of complexity, and I'm sure this understanding will help you develop a stand out character. All the best with your writing ✍️
@@InnerlifeskillsILS I also think this "opening the door" to types as growth makes more sense to focus on, as opposed to people who just focus on describing personality traits with wings and subtypes.
When did you first discover enneagram philosophy and what drew you to it? Were you drawn in by promises of self discovery or self improvement? What happened that really convinced you this was a useful tool? I'm very curious about what triggers form new belief systems. Any answers or insights would be appreciated, thank you.
Hey Billy, about 20+ years ago my friend and colleague Dr Pam Roux and I were coauthoring a book on handing back family baggage, she kept referring to the enneagram types. I was highly resistant at 1st until I dreamt that she told me I was a 9. The next day I called her up to tell her "Pam I dreamt you told me I'm a 9" and she answered, "That's a very 9 way to find out you are a 9!" We laughed. I picked up Helen Palmer's book at a shop and read about 9 and was shocked at the accuracy. The rest is history, now I love helping to declutter and deeply understand the enneagram which soon became an invaluable tool.
Im falling more in love with Enneagram. Beautiful language of the soul. Brilliant teachings!
Wonderful to see you here Cassi, indeed a language of the soul. Thank you, all love

The section for Enneagram was so insightful for me. Wow. "To find the dignity through ordinary acts of daily work." This is going to stick with me.

I love this. So informative and gives this work so much depth and meaning. Thank you for sharing.❤
I really appreciate that, I also love the deeper side of the Enneagram, this inner work is wonderful
This video is awesome! Thank you for this clear and concise explanation of growth paths, dear Colleen-Joy! What a great 'keychain of life'.
Caroline, so lovely to see you here and read your kind comment. I love the "keychain of life" idea, brilliant. Chat soon all best.
