#5 - An Introduction to Enneagram’s Centers of Intelligence and Heart Centers (Type 2, 3, and 4)

God Bless The Enneagram

This episode is an introduction to the Enneagram’s Centers of Intelligence: The Heart (feeling), Head (thinking), and Gut (action) Triads, which all work together in all of us. Each of the 9 dominant Enneagram personality Types belong to one of these three Centers. This Primary Center is the one we use the most to asses information and perceive ourselves and the outside world. Our Primary Center is, in short, overdeveloped compared to our other two Centers -- it's our ego's primary fixation. Our Secondary Center is the one we used next most, and our Tertiary Center is rarely used or is dominant altogether. Though, if we can learn to use all of them in an integrated way, we can function in a more balanced way. We’re explaining the basics of the Heart Center group and how each of the Types belonging to this Center (Types 2, 3, and 4) relate specifically to the Heart Center. The next two weeks, we’ll cover the Head and the Gut Centers.
