Spiritual Psychotherapy and The Enneagram
The goals of spiritual psychotherapy are:
1. To identify with one’s Higher self rather than the ego. That is, you are not your body, your past, your problems, your finances, your job, your gender, your ethnicity. These are roles that you play. You are a spiritual being having a human experience.
2. Understanding the universal law of Cause and Effect. This means that you take 100% responsibility for your life, your situation and for yourself. That you are the creator of your life and your thinking; your beliefs and your assumptions create your world.
3. Non-Attachment. As a spiritual being you are not attached to outcomes, forms, or experiences. Your well being comes from within you, by way of your spiritual identity.
What is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a powerful and dynamic personality system that describes nine distinct and fundamentally different patterns of thinking, feeling and acting. This system helps us to understand our egos and how it keeps us from feeling connected to our spiritual natures.
