The #1 Thing New Enneagram Learners MissYOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4H1GSIOb3Q&t=125s The Enneagram might seem simple at first glance: you take a quick quiz, it spits out a number, and now you know your type. That’s it, right?Well, not quite! The truth is, there’s a lot more to the Enneagram, especially if you want to use it for growth and inner work. In this video, you’ll learn about your intelligence center and why that matters.→ How do you see the core emotion of your intelligence center in your life?→ If you feel disconnected from your intelligence center (for example, sometimes 9s feel disconnected from the action of the body center, and 3s feel disconnected from the emotionality of the heart center), what would it be like to tune into that more?Thanks so much for listening!
