In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, María José Munita gives insight into her personal and working life with Seth "Creek" Creekmore and special guest, Lee Fields. She shares what it was like growing up in Santiago, Chile and how it played into her introduction into the Enneagram. She also talks about her time on the IEA board and her collaboration with Mario Sikora.“So that’s one of the reasons why the ATA approach started making sense to me, because it was a mindset. It’s not just Enneagram theory. It’s a mindset that I really resonate with and like.” -María José [19:27]“You sort of touched on or what I’m hearing is something around satisfaction. That there’s more freedom or ease or satisfaction with your present and presumably future self than your past self.” -Lee [22:14]“Our impulse is always to run from the contradictions and uncertainties, and I think it’s those who are voraciously curious, that their curiosity gets the better of them. To like, I think I can manage this a bit longer, and a bit longer and all of the sudden you’re like oh, yeah, this other side isn’t so bad.” -Creek [40:30]TIMESTAMPS[00:00] Intro[00:20] This week’s guest, Lee Fields[01:35] MJ’s upbringing in Chile[07:29] Exploration of personal growth[12:05] Three teachable moments[19:42] Do her kids know about the Enneagram?[21:09] Satisfaction with present and future self[23:47] How MJ came to the Enneagram[27:57] The IEA board and meeting Mario[33:01] Deciding to collaborate with Mario[36:32] What informs her approach[41:00] Teaching critical thinking[44:55] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodLee Fields:Web: enneagrammatic.comIG: @enneagrammaticMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore talk about the core quality of the Enneagram Point Five– intuition– and the connecting points at Eight and Seven. They discuss how intuition, the inner knowing without thinking or conscious intentional processing, plays into the strategy of Striving to Feel Detached.“I think it’s especially, there’s often a mistaking of observations in intuition. Just hearing all the time like trust your gut, trust your intuition. It doesn’t mean you're right, but it does mean that there’s a new data point that you need to consider, and learning how to recognize that data point and then how to analyze that data point is important.” -Creek [18:31]“My point is that, and I think what María José’s point is, is that we can know all the facts about something, but until we do it, until we live it, until we experience it, it’s like trying to take advice from somebody about swimming who’s never been in a pool.” -Mario [38:18]“It’s more about more than predicting. It’s understanding, and having the skills or the competencies to respond to it.” -María José [33:18]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[01:19] Core quality of intuition[03:24] The strategies related to Point Five[07:26] Based on past experience[09:19] Examples of intuition[12:13] The way knowledge creation works[17:26] Guessing vs intuition[26:39] What intuition feels like[34:06] Wisdom and conscious practice[38:07] The connecting points[46:09] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita, Seth "Creek" Creekmore talk about the core quality at Enneagram Point Seven - joy - a feeling of strong wellbeing, an internally creative state that’s independent of external stimulation. They also discuss its connecting points to Point One and Point Five, which are objectively and intuition.“So this speaks to the challenge of joy and the challenge of the Seven, I think María José hit the nail right on the head here, that once we become dependent on external stimulation for our well-being, for that hit of dopamine that we’re all searching for, it becomes never enough.” -Mario [06:29]“The Sevens that I know, several of them see things that I just pass by and don’t even notice, and they just enjoy that. And it’s very simple things.” -María José [19:11]“And I think it’s not just about the internal sense of joy, but I think it’s sharing the joy. If you’ve ever had anyone be almost more excited about something that’s happening in your life than you are. It’s an act of love, honestly.” -Creek [20:16]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:45] Define joy[06:27] The challenge of the Seven[07:48] What actual joy feel like[15:04] Immature version of joy[20:45] The Dalai Lama[24:17] The core qualities for the connecting points[34:12] Distinction between pain and suffering[36:28] Practical things to implement[41:52] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional Optimism

Exploring the core quality of objectivity in Enneagram Point 1, challenging biases and striving for moral clarity. Navigating rules and comparisons to redefine perfection and embracing imperfections for personal growth. Cultivating objectivity through acceptance, simplicity, and disidentification from preconceptions.

In this special episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora and María José Munita are interviewed by the International Enneagram Association podcast team – Seth "Creek" Creekmore, Seth Abram, Lindsey Davis Marks and Lee Fields – on how to use the framework of clear thinking with the Enneagram. They discuss why we should think through the logical steps and effective remedies to address our emotions and feelings and the tools to discern what is true and what is not.“I don’t know that I would use the word heighten, but it certainly didn’t detract. I think it clarified. It gave me a way to see what I was feeling with more clarity and then to make a better choice about what I wanted to do about what I was feeling.” -Lindsey [09:23]“So all of these things are interwoven. And if we’re ignoring one of them, we’re incomplete, and the others don’t work as well.” -Mario [11:52]“I’m trying to learn how to apply emotions intentionally or learn how to dance with sensation or whatever thing, learning how to effectively use the mental center to seek clarity is its own discipline, …maybe.” -Lee [14:05]“If you want to be truly emotionally brave, then you need to be able to embrace that discomfort and that tension of being wrong or of not seeing clearly or all the different ways that mentally we can be led astray through our biases. So do you want to be emotionally brave and actually do the work? Then we have to learn critical thinking." -Creek [44:23]“Thinking that you have to agree on everything with someone in order to be close to them, I think, is a fantasy. You can disagree and you can discuss.” -María José [32:37]“What I hear you saying is that Rabbi Jonathan Sacks says that we have to learn to feel enlarged by difference, not separated or threatened. But that doesn’t mean that the difference is just as valuable or accurate as another.” -Seth [39:00] TIMESTAMPS[01:18] Intro[01:59] What they’ve learned teaching clear thinking[03:31] Different tools to understanding different “truths”[07:02] Partnering clear thinking with the Enneagram[14:42] Common biases[21:19] Comparing ATA to other models[30:03] Emotional connection to a teacher[33:40] How to disagree better[43:58] Be emotionally brave[49:59] One plea to the Enenagraam community[52:28] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodMario Sikora: IG: @mariosikoraTikTok: @mariosikoraWeb: mariosikora.comPod: Enneagram in a MovieMaria Jose Munita: IG: @mjmunitaWeb: mjmunita.comSeth "Creek" Creekmore: IG: @_creekmorePod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastPod: Delusional OptimismSeth Abram:IG: @integratedenneagramPod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastLindsey Davis Marks:IG: @lindseyfaithdmPod: Fathoms | An Enneagram PodcastLee Fields:Web: enneagrammatic.comIG: @enneagrammaticInternational Enneagram Association:Web: IEA2023.comPod: International Enneagram Association Podcast
