The enneagram shows us not only who we are when we are in the “trance of personality” but also how we can wake up to ourselves at any given moment.

When caught in the trance, enneagram eights can become fixated on dominating their environment, staying in control, and avoiding perceived weakness. This fixation can be a heavy burden to bear and it can interfere with relationships, goals, and overall impact.

To wake up, enneagram eights can ask themselves:

How can I be more open hearted and caring…

in this moment?

while doing this activity?

while having this conversation?

By checking in and asking themselves these questions, Eights can loosen the grip of their personality and move towards embodying their highest self.
