GOOD NEWS #1: there is a brilliant tool called ENNEAGRAM which offers help in these situations. By providing a roadmap with signposts for orientation. This increasingly popular personality typing system is based on ancient roots and traditions, and backed by the findings of modern day psychology.
Now, at this point, if you wonder what this Enneagram thing is, check out the TYPES IN A NUTSHELL below.
Maybe you already know your type – or at least know which types you are not. If this is so, you surely have some kind of roadmap for orientation.
Isn’t humanity supposed to be more complex than that?
GOOD NEWS #2: Yes, absolutely. Fruits of Now is here to prove that.
The Enneagram is not static. It’s a very dynamic system with many nuanced layers. Under certain conditions, and in specific situations, we all ’visit’ other types. Then, our personality patterns can resemble those of other types – no wonder fresh Enneagrammers can easily get discouraged.
Also, most general articles, social media and blog posts about the Enneagram do not cover these nuances at all.
Stop completing quick online tests, or typing based on superficial information – learn about the Enneagram in more depth. Fine-tune and deepen your knowledge with Fruits of Now.
Living mindfully and relying on the wisdom behind the Enneagram is a daily personal growth workshop. Mindfulness encourages waking up to the present moment by putting the full weight of your attention into the Here and Now.
It creates space, changing impulsive reactions to mindful responses. Rather than reacting automatically and impulsively, it allows for re-gaining control over your reactions. Brain imaging studies show that, over time, mindful living profoundly alters the structure and functioning of the brain improving the quality of thoughts and feelings. More on Mindfulness
Why is it good for me to know which type I am? Because it helps to understand the mechanism which drives our ego structure. Each type has their unique Ego Ideal – which is their aspirational self. It represents what their ego is striving for. Most Enneagram type descriptions do not mention the ego ideals. Check out what these are. Download the list free of charge and use it as a useful reference in typing. Also, see how your Ego Ideal can ultimately turn against you.
I cannot see myself in any of the boxes. What if none of the nine Enneagram type descriptions fits me? Ever heard about CounterTypes? This might be the missing piece for accurate typing. Check out this Quick Aid which was designed especially for those sitting on the fence.
Ready to deep dive into the Enneagram? Do not settle for superficial information, get a comprehensive overview of the Enneagram by exploring its height and depth. Our online course was designed for those interested in discovering their hidden potentials, raising their self-awareness to a higher level, and understanding the motives behind other people’s behavior.
The Enneagram is a most insightful typology system, a profiling tool with a potential to transform our triggers. It’s like a secret treasure map which displays the very coordinates to our heart, body and mind. By revealing deeply hidden motivations and stress factors you can better understand why we act the way we do. Why others value what you would find irrelevant or completely unimportant. It shows us why we see the world our way – which may look completely different from someone else’s way. The Enneagram is the explanation to the question why you would never be able to harvest apples from a lemon tree.
What makes people tick? Check out the individual Enneagram types one by one, to learn about their core motivations, focus of attention, basic fear and key characteristics. What do they look like and how do they behave at their best and worst?
Hmm, this Enneagram thing sounds interesting. But what is all this fancy jargon – arrows, wings, levels of integration? I need more clarity. Could you please explain?
