The Centers Approach: Introduction to the Enneagram + Body Center Bundle

Buckle-up for an adventure that will transform how you navigate your life. In this course, discover a fresh perspective on the Enneagram Centers of Intelligence, the root of the 9 types.

Understanding yourself through the Centers of Intelligence offers a process for incarnating your fullest potential as you live the unfolding of human evolution.

In this module, you will learn why we call the Body Center the FEELING Center. (Have you ever noticed that the Body Center folks sure seem to have a lot of feeling about what they stand for yet can have a hard time holding paradox?)

People who lead with the Body Center often tell us they feel "gotten" by The Centers Approach.

Every human being is born with a Body Intelligence that allows us to access to sort felt sense information in a binary way distinguishing pain/pleasure, good/bad, and right/wrong.

Learn:

  • the intelligence of the Body
  • the crucial distinctions in the Centers Approach
  • the characteristics of people who lead with this triad
  • the focus of attention of Body Center people
  • their basic needs
  • Core emotional issue when needs are threatened
  • Higher qualities

Listen:

  • Body Center Panel Interviews
  • Body Center at Work

Practice:

  • Meditations for the Body Center
  • Reflection questions ie. If you lead with the Body Center, how do you hold ground?
