    Ep 38: Type 4: The Shadow of Authenticity—Specialness and the Embrace of the Commonplace

    In this Week 7 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 4 and the shadow of authenticity—where the sincere search for identity, meaning, and self-understanding can gradually become organized around specialness. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we're invited to notice the ways we may become preoccupied with what is missing, unique, extraordinary, or not yet fully realized. Together, we'll explore how the movements toward points 1 and 2 invite greater responsibility, grounded participation, and open-heartedness toward others. Along the way, we discover that authenticity may not emerge through endless self-examination, but through fully inhabiting the life that is already ours.Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to pause and contemplate the sacredness of ordinary life.

    Ep 37: Type 3: The Shadow of Worth—Performance and the Return to the Preciousness of Being

    In this Week 6 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 3 and the shadow of worth—where identity can gradually become fused with achievement, image, effectiveness, and performance. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we’re invited to notice the ways we may shape ourselves in order to feel valuable, successful, admired, or enough. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 6 and 9—toward greater trust, inter-being, grounded presence, and the rediscovery of our inherent worth beneath all the doing. Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to slow down and gently notice what begins to arise from simply being.

    Ep 36: Type 2: The Shadow of Love—Self-Abandonment and the Return to Receiving

    In this Week 5 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 2 and the shadow of love—where care, helpfulness, and relational attunement can gradually become fused with identity, approval, and the fear of abandonment. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we’re invited to notice the ways we may lose ourselves in relationship, perform love, or struggle to receive directly. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 8 and 4—recovering grounded directness, emotional honesty, authenticity, and the courage to remain connected to ourselves while loving others. Please consider taking a few moments before, during, or after this talk to open your heart to being held and beheld by Divine Love, and gently notice what begins to arise.

    Ep 35: Type 1: The Shadow of Goodness—Judgment and the Recovery of Holy Spontaneity

    In this Week 4 reflection on Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 1 and the shadow of goodness—where integrity and conscience can become fused with perfectionism, self-control, and chronic self-correction. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we’re invited beyond the harsh inner division between good and bad, right and wrong. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 7 and 4—recovering joy, freedom, authenticity, and the courage to fully inhabit our humanity. Take a few minutes before, during, or after this talk to ground in presence—then rest in silence and notice what begins to arise.

    Ep 33 Type 8: The Shadow of Strength—Power, Vulnerability & the Exile of Tenderness

    In this Week 2 reflection of Shadow Work & the Enneagram Lines, we explore Type 8 and the shadow of strength—where power can become control, and tenderness is often exiled. Through the Enneagram as a map of consciousness and Centering Prayer as a contemplative practice, we’re invited into a deeper movement: from certainty into not knowing, from self-sufficiency into relationship. This reflection opens a path toward integrating the energies of points 5 and 2—learning to pause, to receive, and to allow ourselves to be changed.Take a few minutes before, during, or after this talk to sit in silence and notice what begins to arise.Learn more about our Contemplative Practices & the Enneagram (CPE) groups:https://evolvingenneagram.com/contemplative-enneagram-community💗 If you feel blessed by this work and would like to support us in keeping these lessons freely available to all who need it, please make your contribution here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=6VZLKNHCGETMJWebsite: https://evolvingenneagram.com/ FB Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/EvolvingEnneagramFB Community Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2110196922427652IG: https://www.instagram.com/evolvingenneagram/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/evolving-enneagram/#enneagram #evolvingenneagram #Nhienvuong #spirituality #CPE #wisdom #contemplation #essence #shadowwork #connectinglines #enneagrammap

    Ep 31 Enneagram 7: Finding freedom from the Type 7’s traps (Interview with Milton Stewart)

    Listen in as Evolving Enneagram Founder Nhien Vuong interviews Enneagram professional Milton Stewart (Enneagram Type 7) (TN USA) about his personal, spiritual journey with the Enneagram. An Enneagram consultant, Milton is an internationally accredited Enneagram professional, Host of the Do It For The Gram Podcast, Founder of Kaizen Careers, Coaching and Consulting LLC, and IEA Global Board Member. In this interview, Milton opens up about his religious upbringing, his lifelong journey as a wisdom seeker, how he has come to a different understanding of (the Enneagram-based) Holy Ideas of Holy Wisdom and Holy Plan, learning to trust more and more that life will provide without his needing to compulsive plan ahead to ensure his good will come to him. Related, he shares about learning to "surrender" to healing and heartfelt connection and his coming to "know" God as a God that transcends any religion. Throughout this interview, Milton shares candidly about his grappling with the idea of being “superficial,” his recent revelations during a very recent trip to Egypt, his default tendency to positively reframe negatives as well as to imagine or plan for a good time and how those tendencies have masked his fears and past pain, keeping them from being healed. Milton also offers us useful advice and practices that have helped him to become more trusting and rooted, including the practice of breathing in and down, which has helped him to feel the constriction of fear in his body long enough for that fear to actually release.   ------ Learn more about Evolving Enneagram: www.evolvingenneagram.com IG: @evolvingenneagram   youtube.com/@evolvingenneagram.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/evolving-enneagram/  Evolving Enneagram’s mission is to transform human ecosystems for a more compassionate and awakened world.
