What Really Matters...
When we are able to take that precious pause, breathe in, connect with self, and become fully grounded in the present moment, we can find enough safety and holding to open our hearts, and to access our own "receptive energy." Once receptive, we find that we are simply "there," for self and other, as we are neither

To My Community, Colleagues, Students and Friends,
I've been thinking a lot lately about our higher qualities of being. What exactly do they refer to, in Enneagram speak? What do they mean to the way we could possibly live our lives? In my new blog,
"Integrating our True Nature, into our Lives,"
I've explored the definitive qualities between the Holy Ideas and our inherent virtues, both of which take us right back to the essence within each of us, aspects of our true nature. Within the article, I suggest the path for returning to these and integrating them into our lives. When we grasp the meaning of these qualities we will find that they have been a big part of what we call our "peak" experiences. Over time, identifying these qualities in ourselves results in the transformation of our daily lives.

Integrating Our True Nature, into our Lives

BLOG OVERVIEW:
Integrating the Higher Qualities of our Essence into our Lives
The essential qualities, meaning our embodied inherent virtues, and our Holy ideas - which are mental qualities - exist at the core of our being, at the hub of existence and at the core of our collective unity.
We all have had "oneness of all" experiences at some point. For example, when we either listen to or play music, find ourselves in a wondrous scene in nature, ski effortlessly down a a mountain of white powder, get swept away in blissful sexual union, while full of intention and deep in prayer, during meditation or a deep reflection, when experiencing delicate and beautiful acts of kindness, when imbued with warm, unconditional love, we are at "one" with all that there is. Moments of oneness may also occur in times of great challenge and when there seems to be little choice.
At such a time we may find ourselves deep inside of ourselves and incredibly still. I do not mean drug experiences or "highs" per se. Peak experiences are manifestations of our connection to all there is, a sense of unity; peak experiences are characterized by an utter presence in the moment, are indelibly imprinted in memory and registered across all the senses, they include a sense of profound wonder and awe. In unity, there is a simple knowing that our divine, essential qualities are at our core and at our disposal and they are what live on about us, long after our bodies have expired.
We need to know that our virtues and Holy ideas are not just experienced cognitively, but also emotionally, and energetically, i.e., somatically. When integrated into our personality, they change the structure of our lives, literally the substance of our being. And integration requires the development of grounded receptive energy, which I call the great emulsifier, as it allows our
