The Enneagram is a personality system that works as a tool to recognise and rip apart your psychological patterns and re-grow yourself free from ego. It explains nine core strategies people use to cope, feel safe, create value in and navigate their lives. These form the 9 types.

But these 9 types can be complicated to create 972 different combinations. This takes in wings, instincts and trifix. One of the 972 versions will reveal you as pathetic, needy and icky. You’ll cringe at it all written out, like re-reading your old diary entries from when you were 14. But there are perks to the newfound self-awareness, I promise.

When typed correctly, the Enneagram unravels the lies your subconscious mind tells you. These constructs trap and hold you back in ways that are individual to you. But the ego is sneaky, it likes to hold onto its protection.

The Enneagram can help us override the subconscious to reveal which specific pattern you are locked into. When we learn to recognise and see these patterns inside us, we can start to undo, correct and ultimately free ourselves from them. Free from ego, we can rebalance the self to be full, vibrant and without personality constructs. After all, isn’t the end goal to feel like a content llama chilling by the beach with a pina colada in hand? Whatever floats your boat.
