A while back I joined an Enneagram Summit focused on the spiritual journey.  Like most summits, it offered so many insights, but one teaching stayed with me.  – which spiritual practices best align with your Enneagram type.  

The speaker, Amie Patrick was a delight to listen to.  Here suggestions felt like soul wisdom, – simple and resonant and worth coming back to again. 

So, if you know your type (or have a sense of it) perhaps one of these will speak to you:

• Type Ones embrace joy in your spiritual disciplines.
• Type Twos honour your own needs and acknowledge frustrations. 
• Type Threes slow down and sit with the divine.
• Type Fours practice gratitude and create structure. 
• Type Fives engage your senses and share your wisdom.
• Type Sixes try new spiritual practices and notice what steadies you.
• Type Sevens engage with difficult emotions as well as joyful practices.
• Type Eights make space for tenderness, vulnerability and nuance. 
• Type Nines balance your love for contemplation with action. 

I’d love to hear if this resonates with you or supports your practice!!

If you want to take a tour of the Enneagram types, the Narrative Tradition is a great place to start. You will find descriptions of each type, life lessons, and psychological, spiritual and somatic patterns for each type.

There are more resources on the Enneagram in the post Hooked on the Enneagram and Let’s Talk Books.
