Discover Who You Really Are…
Step One: Self-Awareness by AEA Professionals, Jaye Andres and Linda Frazee Have you ever heard the expression, “Wherever you go, there you are”? It means that our biggest obstacle in changing or growing our lives is ourselves. You can change all of the circumstances around you but if you have not changed yourself there will be no movement. In other words, what gets in the way of creating what you want is you! The key to change and...
Why Learning Your Patterns – Your Type – Assists Your Relationships
By Renee Siegel, MA, LISAC, NCGC-II, BACC, LMT, HHP The Enneagram is a useful map in helping you to identify your patterns of thought, feelings, behaviors, and sensate experiences. Although we are much more than these components alone, we show up in the world as a compilation of our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and sensate experiences. We call this personality and this is what we commonly reference when we think of how we either do...

Out of the Box, from a Type 1
I got stuck again in the box of my own mind. Habit-of-mind is unique to each of us, yet follows the pattern of our personality. (See Arizona Enneagram Association) My name is Diane, and my Habit is Perfectionism. About one in nine of us have this core habit – the other eight get to have something else. My mind nags: “Gotta fix this, inside me or outside. Things are not good enough.” But they are good enough! It’s just a scratchy old...
What the “Law of 3” Means to Me
By Terry Favour In November of 2013, the Sedona Enneagram Study Group met at Robin Cameron’s as is usual on the third Saturday of every month. That Saturday we spent a great deal of time talking about, in Gurdjieff terminology, the Law of Three.

Emerging Blog – a Type 9 Speaking about Holy Love
Not being a writer, blogger or comedian, the question came to me, “What do I blog about?” Fortunately during the wee hours of yesterday morning, the idea emerged from books I was streaming into in my half waking state.

With the May 2014, Spiritual Freedom event right around the corner in my mind (the nine point of view covers a...
