“Dearly beloved!
Let us go toward Union.
And if we find the road
That leads to separation,
We will destroy separation”
- Ibn ‘Arabi
Enneagram
The Enneagram is a map of 9 strengths and weaknesses that can help aid us in our self-development and mystical awakening. The map shines light on our strengths to grow and the habits that keep us stuck. Inner practices coupled with the enneagram help to create connection to our center. Like a mariner at sea needs a map and tools to understand where they are in the journey, and to stay on course to the port of their center and tranquility.
Centering Practices
The Journey requires navigation and tools. Navigating the compass is used. The compass uses the center as the axis and points north. I like to keep in mind the axis is the origin of direction North is our guide to know the 4 directions. Navigation is like discernment. The tools are self observation when things break down we loose course but we also need to repair things with the tools. The tools I call upon are Centering practices, Journaling, Contemplation, and Discernment. 
Mysticism & Inspiration
We all need wind in our sails and fuel to keep going or to keep faith in the journey. I find poetry, Mystics, and stories of adventures to help keep us going. The people and stories that inspire us to make the journey to make a change to open up to possibilities that sound foreign.
