Episode Three: Body Wisdom and the Gift of Stillness – Exploring Types 9, 8, and 1
Podcast Series: The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self: A Book Club Series
Host: Alicia Divers | Somatic Practitioner & Enneagram Teacher
Guest Author: Sandra Smith
🎙️ In This Episode:
This week, we move into Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of Sandra Smith's The Enneagram Map to Your Deeper Self—and begin our exploration of the Body Center types: Nine, Eight, and One.
Alicia introduces the core patterns of the Body Center—how instinct, resistance, and groundedness shape our inner worlds—and how each body type carries a unique relationship to anger, fairness, and autonomy.
You'll also hear how Sandra's idea of compassionate entry points invites a kinder, more relational path to growth—and why connecting with your body's knowing is essential for real transformation.
You'll learn:
-
How Type Nine's habit of self-forgetting shows up in the body
-
How Type Eight's armor can soften into openness without losing strength
-
How Type One's striving can give way to the serenity of self-acceptance
-
How anger lives differently in each type—and how to meet it with curiosity
-
How Sabbath practices and reflection can create space for real change
Whether you resonate with the Body Center yourself—or you're learning to love someone who does—this episode invites you to slow down, listen inwardly, and discover how the body holds both our defenses and our way home.
Reflection Question:
Where do you notice resistance, urgency, or self-criticism living in your body—and what happens if you meet it with curiosity instead of judgment?
