Mindfulness practice is a powerful way to awaken to our deepest potential for fulfillment, creativity, and relationship. But it is not a “one size fits all” approach. The Buddha offered many approaches depending on each person’s unique form of dukkha – unnecessary suffering – and how their particular mental, emotional, and physical conditioning contributed to this. For mindfulness to be effective it must work with our particular form of dukkha. This is where the Enneagram can help.
The Enneagram is a powerful map of nine different ways that dukkha arises for different people and the nine paths to liberation from those nine types of unnecessary suffering. Together mindfulness and the Enneagram can free you from your particular form of dukkha and awaken your unique and deepest potential for happiness and fulfillment.
If you’ve worked with mindfulness meditation – or tried to – and you feel it hasn’t worked, or you feel stuck and need to get to a deeper level, it may be because you’ve not found the particular approach to mindfulness practice that actually works best for you. This course will introduce you to how both mindfulness and the Enneagram, when used together, can be a powerful way to find an approach to mindfulness that truly awakens your particular deeper capacities of body, heart, and mind.
In each session we will explore the Foundations of Mindfulness at the core of Buddhist practice – how to cultivate mindfulness of body, feeling, and mind. Each session will also use the Enneagram to explore each of the nine types of dukkha and the nine particular ways that mindfulness practice can be tailored, based on your type, to free you from your particular dukkha “blind spot.”
