The Enneagram and The Journey Home

The enneagram (Ego fixation) is the most profound and direct, all encompassing tool for self
discovery in this lifetime.  It is what runs you and who you are and who you are not.

Everyone wants to be happy.  This is in all of us, it's the fulfillment of our human potential that
we awaken to our true essence, source or truth of our being.

What stops us is the ego - the root of all suffering.  It is killing the world right now and many leaders
in the field of spiritual development - Eckhart Tolle, Maryane Williamson ,are talking about it.

Most teachers believe an ego crystallises around 3-5 years old when we react to the absence
of basic trust in childhood.  Patterns of fixation start to formulate as ego patterns.

There are 9 points of fixation
- 3 points are fixated in the physical body - anger points
- 3 points are fixated in the emotional body - image points
- 3 points are fixated in the mental body - fear points

The more dysfunctional the childhood, the more prounounced the ego is.  We feel we have
holes inside, that something is wrong with me and this sense of lack deepens with age.

The enneagram does not put you in a box, it shows you the box you are in and the way out.
It's a bridge between psychology and spirituality.  When we get sick of trying to fill our
holes or our emptyness on the outside, we favce our inner world directly and truthfully -
then we come home to ourselves and the whole universe supports our awakening.
To experience the healing of our oldest and deepest wounds through the action of awareness
is the miracle we can all count on.  If we follow that map of the soul into the depth of
our hearts, hatred will turn to compassion, rejection into acceptance and fear into wonder.

The enneagram gives you compassion for yours and others suffering.  It makes you feel you
are not alone - it helps you to understand why we are all so different.  There is such an
awakening happening on this planet at this time - what better way to get to the core.

At Shunyata retreat we establish what patterns are truly running you - then with The
Journey we clear them out at a cellular level.  The mind goes quiet, the soul comes through
and you reclaim your innocence.  You fall in love with the essence of who you truly are - you
come home.

WE DO NOT NEED TO IMPROVE OURSELVES, WE JUST NEED TO LET GO OF THAT
WHICH BLOCKS OUR HEART    Jack Kornfield

May all beings be free and happy!
