Coaching someone's gut, heart and mind back to life
Why should we coach towards restoring the healthy functioning of all three centres of intelligence, Head, Heart and Gut?
Isn’t it true that a person’s main Type is based in the issues of one specific centre, and this main Type explains the basic fear and the real knot at the very core of their struggle with themselves, life, and others?
YES!
And...
We all literally, in our bodies, have all three centres.
We have a cranial intelligence, a cardiac intelligence and an enteric intelligence. In all of us, all three are involved in keeping us stuck in our self-sabotaging habits, repeating thought loops, behavioural blockages and insecurities.
They are neurophysiologically fully interconnected.
The vagus nerve shows us just one of the ways in which this is true. Also consider our endocrine system, stress responses and reactivity. They happen in our full being, not just one of the centres.Our Main Type has a specific cost to the functioning other centres, and the Enneagram tells us all about this, as well as how to heal this.
Unless all three centres are awake and aligned, we are not fully awake or aligned.
The Enneagram path is an integrated whole-being path.
Knowing these patterns makes all the difference. The Tri-Fix® and TriTypes® teachings show us patterns that amplify each other or may clash. Consider the “triple compliance” patterns of a 126 TriType®. They think, relate and act in compliance-oriented ways. Far more than a 135 would! By the same token, knowing the inner conflict in a 592 between isolation of 5 and the strong need for connection in 2 and 9 helps in coaching one, a lot. Just naming the conflict has had many of my coaching clients visibly sigh and feel seen for the first time.
There is real power here, and many invaluable keys.
