Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *This is the Type Four Edition of the book, including specific content for enneagram Type Fours* How does your personality type help and hinder your ability to make wise decisions? We are too often rich in information and poor in wisdom. And when we encounter life's decisions, big and small, we engage the information available through the lens of our personality. The Enneagram of Discernment: The Way of Vocation, Wisdom, and Practice breaks new ground in the enneagram field, introducing Dr. Drew Moser's innovative approach to exploring the enneagram to discover calling, cultivate wisdom, and develop habits that help you make wise decisions, whether they be important or mundane. This is not your ordinary enneagram book. Weaving theology, spirituality, neuroscience, and psychology, Dr. Moser introduces you to The Way of Discernment: a journey of nine key questions each of us must consider when faced with a decision. Each of these nine questions are grouped into three triads: The Vocation Triad, The Wisdom Triad, and The Practice Triad. This is an enneagram resource for anyone looking for help in making better decisions. Whether you're new to the enneagram, or have been working with the enneagram for many years, The Enneagram of Discernment is an essential resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are born with our hearts and arms open wide-trusting, confident, and brimming with vibrant life energy. Over time, though, the challenges of life constrain that flow, leaving us unbalanced. We often find ourselves stuck in inertia, exhausted by overdoing, or strained and preoccupied with trying to control everything. Roaming Free Inside the Cage will help you identify your unique pattern of imbalance and reclaim your inborn freedom so that you can move forward with clarity of vision, confidence in your own power, and composure in the face of life's adversities. "There is much to digest and absorb here, principles and practices, history, symbolism, and poetic expression. This work requires only the caution that, as in much that is written about the Enneagram, we are dealing with subjective internal experience rather than objective external measurement. This is a book on experience of, rather than knowledge about. Come to it with a willingness to use the principles of optimal learning, be receptive and grounded in order to open your heart and mind with curiosity, and have the expectation of benefit. Then you will indeed benefit greatly from this fundamental, deep and penetrating work on the Enneagram and the Dao." -David Daniels, M.D., September 2009, Clinical Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, Stanford Medical School

Download or read book The Enneagram Personality Styles written by Clare Loughrige and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With God's help, I shall become myself."Soren KierkegaardGet ready for Transformation with a tool that can help you become your best self.The Enneagram of Personality Styles is a psychological-spiritual system for mapping the nine personalities. We all take reality in through a filter. It is said that "we don't see things as they are but see them as we are." Our brand of seeing can bring us clarity and also, blind us to what keeps us from fully becoming ourselves. The Enneagram is a psychological explanation of what the Bible describes "the fall of man" although it is not primarily psychological. It is a holistic Christ-centered approach to discipleship, health, wholeness and transformation.Although you will discover your "style" or "type," the system is not intended to put anyone in a box. You can have the same number as another person and unique. No individual is one type alone. We are made up of a dominant type, and two numbers on either side called "wings." "The Harmony Triangles" on the Enneagram point to the way of stress, decline, and disintegration or integration and growth. This system, therefore, is very individual based on the individual journey of each person and their willingness to yield to God.We will describe many characteristics of the personality in detailing the "types" style. In describing the journey of the soul, we will use the true self/false self-terminology.True Self (giftedness) emerges from union with God and has nothing to do with performance. It was the non-acquired self. It is our essence, our reflection of the God-image. The virtues describe the true self.False Self (woundedness) is the psychological self that is made up of past and present, the family of origin issues, nature, nurture, free will. It is your coping style of self. The vices describe the false self.Transformation (redemption) is bringing the wounded false self to God and being healed by the same thing that has wounded you (much like inoculation).ENDORSEMENTS FOR ENNEAGRAM PERSONALITY STYLES AND MOTIONS OF THE SOUL WORKSHOPS AND Books"Clare Loughrige's Enneagram materials have been invaluable to me as a spiritual director. Her knowledge of, and insights into the Enneagram have helped me to understand this valuable instrument in ways I previously had not. Again and again, I find that when I use her materials with others, paths to freedom in Christ are discovered in ways not previously seen. Plus, hearing Clare teach on the Enneagram makes the material come alive even more!" Mary Albert Darling Author, Associate Professor of Communication, Adjunct, Masters in Spiritual Formation and Leadership Chair, Spring Arbor University Clare is a very energetic and interactive speaker. She has creatively combined some traditional practices of spirituality, particularly Ignatian spiritual practices, with the Enneagram spectrum of personality styles. You will find her presentations engaging, thoughtful and useful. Jerome Wagner, Ph.D., author: Nine Lenses on the World: the Enneagram Perspective; The Enneagram Spectrum of Personality Styles. We are very grateful for Clare's facilitation, teaching and the understanding she imparted to us at Family Tree with the Enneagram Workshop. The Lord has blessed her with many talents and she is sharing them to impact others. In this case, not only our team but the patients we serve. R. Troy Carlson, M.D. Family Tree Medical Practice I wholeHEARTedly recommend Clare Loughrige to you. I have invited Clare to speak in both small group (approximately 25) and larger group (more than 200) and in each setting, we have found her presentations to be engaging, insightful and meaningful for each participant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep Living is not just about the Enneagram. It's also about living deeply by using the Enneagram as a vehicle for presence. You're practically getting 3 books in 1 and, it's one of those books that will undoubtedly end up with many dog-eared pages and which you will refer to again and again! It goes beyond personality type! You'll find: A radically compassionate and spacious approach to recognizing the roots of inner struggle; How your Enneagram type's personality patterns present specific obstacles to real presence; Your unique pathways for liberating yourself from inner confines--one size does not fit all; Ways to cultivate a strong core foundation and your innate capacity for wholeness; The connection of your personal well-being to global well-being; and, Full acceptance of both your human nature and the eternal, divine spark within. Deep Living reveals how we unknowingly avoid vulnerable aspects of ourselves, relying instead on familiar personality patterns that distance us from our deepest nature. As a result, rather than experiencing ourselves as whole and integral to the fabric of life we feel separate, even from ourselves. Drawing on the sacred psychology of the Enneagram and the power of presence, this book guides us in recovering more of who we really are. With compassion, wisdom, and practical insight, the author helps us cultivate our innate capacities for wholeness, leading to an intimate, transformed relationship with ourselves. This is clearly a must-have book for healing the roots of struggle. What others have to say: One of the greatest discoveries of the past two centuries is that the human personality is not fixed, but is flexible, changeable, and malleable. Dr. Roxanne Howe-Murphy is a wise, empathic coach who knows how these changes can be encouraged and facilitated. If you feel stuck in your journey and are ready for growth, change, and greater fulfillment and happiness, let this master coach be your guide. --Larry Dossey, MD, Author ONE MIND: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters It is a rare book that can bring a reader home to Soul. Roxanne Howe-Murphy's sensitive excavation of the Ennegram awakens the reader to their true human potential.

Deep Living is food for the heart, balm for the soul, and light for the spirit. --Christina Donnell, Ph.D., Author Transcendent Dreaming: Stepping Into Our Human Potential
