The Inward Turn: Somatic Enneagram Experiencing the 9 Energetic Pathways to our Essential Nature.
About Workshop
This closing endnote will encourage people to dive deeper by going inside the domain of their body to witness the hidden obstacles and obscurations to “Remembering what you are”. We can more fully understand ourselves as three-centered beings: Head, Heart, and Body by bringing awareness to the mystery and deeply conditioned physical experience. As we have entered into a finite world where we appear as separate human beings, we are first and foremost in need of our personal survival.
The Somatic Enneagram work is consciously moving our attention to an unpopular proposition which is turning attention toward the part of us that is in discomfort and pain instead of automatically and unconsciously turning away from these unwanted sensations. Energetically, we experience a dualistic view of reality, which keeps us from experiencing all of what we were created to be. In this end note, the emphasis will be on the necessary conscious inward turn of an inner observer and the physical sensations inside of our bodies, With a sound method, we can learn to relax these automatic patterns, and safely release the charge. As we are now able to complete the descent and free the automatic, unconsciously held charge we are now able to consciously witness our ascent to our essential nature.
Let’s all come together to contemplate the title of this Conference and the invitation that the Enneagram brings to “Remember what you are”.
