Did you do your homework yet? If you want to get the most of episode 25 and 26, here it is again: Back in episode 7, Jo shared her enneagram manifesto. It was based in large part on the work of Dr. Jerome Lubbe, and his work mapping the enneagram onto the brain. It was a short episode, and we recommend going back to give it a listen. Next, we really recommend taking the Riso Hudson test and looking over your results before this episode. What Dr. Jerome unpacks here will have a lot more impact if you understand how your brain is mapped out. Last week's episode covered ways to access the energy of types 9, 5 and 6. This week, we dig into the rest of the types.RESOURCES: Dr. Jerome D.

Shadow Layer #4: Moving towards is baked right into our brains. We use the part of our brain that deals with fight response, immediacy, reactivity. We are willing to DO fight. In fact, we are compelled to do fight in order to survive. Engaging and moving towards a threat feels safer than waiting for it to come find us and take us by surprise.RESOURCES: Dr. Jerome D.

How much do we put ourselves out there and take the hits? "Endlessly..."

And that will require "going back in" again and again, even if we don't want to. 21:00: Jim's poem Bless Them and Go On. "We cannot blame or shame them... they carried you to where they themselves could not go. In kindness turn and thank them. Bless them with all your love. Bless them, and go on."

Shadow Layer #3: This might be the deepest darkest pit we fall into. We think it's because it feels so so good to go where our body leads us. But, just like a fire on a dry day... if we aren't careful, we'll burn the forest down.

Shadow Layer #2: This tough act is one of the most quintessentially 8 things. However we define strength, it plays a big role in how 8s orient themselves to the world. While we don't think strength is just an ego construct, but a tangible offering we bring to the world, problems crop up when we treat humanity like a giant boxing match (in which we always come out with the title belt). What if, rather than flexing a stronger-than-you attitude, we simply stop at this: I am strong.
