Deep Living with the Enneagram
by Roxanne Howe-Murphy
The highly praised, #1-international bestselling book, Deep Living with the Enneagram, Winner of the 2020 National Indie Excellence Award in Personal Growth, and recently named a 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Awards (NGIBA) finalist in the Mind-Body-Spirit category. It was honored as a powerful book on recovering one’s true nature in times of chaos.
Written for growth-oriented adults at this time of uncertainty, loss and upheaval, the book abundantly reveals emerging possibilities. The purposes of this revised and updated edition are twofold:
- to provide ways to build on the reader’s innate—though often unrecognized—sources of deep intelligence that serve as internal anchors in meeting the stresses of this unequaled time;
- and to enhance the reader’s personal level of presence and awareness—thus increasing freedom from compulsions of the habitual self and deepening receptivity to new ways of being—both vital not only to individuals but to the well-being of others and the planet.
In her praise for the book, multiple New York Times best-selling author and teacher, Christiane Northrup, MD, zeroes in on one of fundamental takeaways: “Learn how to be true to yourself without getting trapped in your personality. That is when deep living and freedom really begin.”
Providing a unique perspective on the nature of the personality and its relationship to one’s true nature, author Roxanne Howe-Murphy, EdD, introduces the invisible rules of each personality type’s specific “ego code.” Left uninterrupted, the personality’s ego code exacerbates any difficult mental, emotional, behavioral and interpersonal health states, leaving the individual feeling “boxed in.”
Drawing upon the sacred psychology of the Enneagram and the power of presence, Howe-Murphy guides the reader to recognize and use practices that focus attention on the integral strengths of the body, the heart and the mind, which in turn support the recovery of one’s wholeness. With compassion, wisdom and practical insight, the author helps readers cultivate their innate capacities for living deeply as real human beings, enjoying an intimate and transformed relationship with oneself. Ultimately, this book takes the reader beyond their personality type and into recognition of one’s true nature.
