In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth "Creek" Creekmore start their discussion about awareness and the six qualities of the mind. They start by defining what awareness is and the process from awareness authenticity into action. They also break down the six qualities of the mind, starting with the beginner’s mind, the focused mind and the noticing mind. 

“The value of self-awareness is to give us the ability to course correct.” -Mario [09:54]

“I think that when you’re aware, there’s always a decision to continuing to be aware, to pay attention to something.” -María José [12:28] 

“Something that my housemate started using that I kind of adopted is ‘I’m just pushing the pan around the palette right now. I’m just seeing what does it look like.’” -Creek [21:04]
