The Enneagram

The word Enneagram comes from the Greek words ennea meaning “nine”, and gramma, meaning “written”. It is an ancient, sacred geometric figure, which represents nine personality types and their complex interweaving. The Enneagram is a paradigm of human personality and inner development. It is far more than a theoretical system, however. It is a practical model of knowledge to help us to know ourselves and to improve our relationships.

It is a road map, which can be very useful in helping us to identify our basic fears, as well as core desires, that motivate our behaviors. One of the key benefits in using The Enneagram is in identifying these underlying fears and desires that keep us from growing in certain areas where we would like to. By exploring these underlying individual core fears, desires and motivations fully, we can be freed from them, resulting in greater peace of mind and success, as well as the discovery of our authentic Self freed from the fetters of personality. In spirituality, the Enneagram is has been considered as a path to higher states consciousness, true nature and pure awareness.
