Intro music: “Back To Us” by Jeremy Passion featuring Julissa Leilani
Hi friends 👋🏽
Hope this message finds you well and in good health.
Sadly, we lost our family little chihuahua dog this past week and she’s transitioned to doggy heaven; so I dedicate this episode to her.
Love you little Bella girl…

I hope you enjoy today’s episode on accessing the somatic Enneagram.
Doing this work involves integrating the wisdom of this personality system with an awareness of bodily sensations, emotions, and physical practices.
The Enneagram is traditionally a psychological tool that describes nine personality types, each with its own set of behaviors, motivations, and fears. Integrating somatic practices with the Enneagram can deepen self-awareness and facilitate personal growth. Here are some ways to do this:
1. Understand Your Enneagram Type:
- Start by identifying your Enneagram type. This requires self-reflection or taking an Enneagram test.
- Learn about the basic fears, desires, and motivations of your type.
2. Somatic Awareness:
- Practice mindfulness and body awareness. Pay attention to how emotions and stress manifest in your body. Each Enneagram type may have different somatic patterns.
- Notice any recurring physical sensations or tensions associated with specific emotional states or thought patterns.
3. Body-Centered Practices:
- Engage in practices like yoga, tai chi, or dance. These can help in grounding and connecting with your body.
- Certain poses or movements might resonate more strongly with different Enneagram types, offering insights into your personality and emotional patterns.
4. Breathing Exercises:
- Breathing techniques can help manage the emotional and stress responses characteristic of your Enneagram type.
- Practices like deep belly breathing or alternate nostril breathing can be particularly effective.
5. Mindful Movement:
- Explore gentle, mindful movement to connect with sensations and emotions. This can be especially helpful for types that are more disconnected from their physical experience.

6. Embodied Meditation:
- Try meditations that focus on body scanning and sensation awareness.
- This practice can reveal how your Enneagram type's issues manifest somatically.
7. Therapy or Coaching:
- Consider working with a therapist or coach who specializes in both the Enneagram and somatic practices.
- They can provide personalized guidance and help you explore the relationship between your type and bodily experiences.
8. Journaling:
- Keep a journal to track your somatic experiences and how they relate to your Enneagram type. This can be insightful in understanding your habitual patterns.
9. Workshops and Retreats:
- Attend workshops or retreats that focus on integrating the Enneagram with somatic practices.
10. Community Engagement:
- Engage with communities or groups that focus on somatic Enneagram work. Sharing experiences can provide additional insights and support.
Remember, the key is to stay curious and open to what your body is communicating, and to see how this interplays with your Enneagram type’s characteristics.
This holistic approach can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and foster personal growth.
With love,
Jomar
