In this episode of The Real Enneagram, we continue our heart series, diving deeper into the theme of healing the heart. We explore the complexities of the heart's emotional landscape, including its capacity for both tenderness and turmoil. We also discuss the concept of emotional self-regulation and how the heart can be affected by negative passions such as envy, pride, and shame, particularly in the context of Enneagram types two, three, and four.

Joe shares insights on the Enneagram's understanding of passions, which correlate with the seven deadly sins, and how these passions can dominate our emotional experiences. We emphasize the importance of recognizing these patterns as the first step toward healing. Scott reflects on his personal journey of navigating anxiety and the walls he built around his heart for self-protection, highlighting the necessity of extending grace and love to ourselves and others.

Throughout the conversation, we touch on the significance of equanimity and groundedness in achieving emotional balance. We encourage our listeners to consider how they can let the divine regulate their emotions and restore balance within, especially during challenging times. As we wrap up this episode, we remind our audience that healing the heart is a divine work that requires community support and self-compassion.

As we take a break for the holiday season, we express our gratitude for our listeners and invite them to stay connected through our website and social media. We look forward to returning in the new year with more enriching discussions. Thank you for joining us!
