Deep Soul Nine

In this episode I have a very interesting conversation with Therese Ryan on the interesting and fascinating subject of Focusing which is a somatic practice where we listen to what our body is saying to us. If you have not come across this before, I think that this conversation will tempt you to know more.   Below are useful links including a way to get in touch with the final link to Therese if yo...

I recently had an email from a friend and listener with concerns as they had received some negative feedback about the Enneagram and whether she should be using it in a Christian context. This isn't unusual and so I thought I'd invite my P.A.L.s: Paul, Andy and Liz to have a discussion about this and the origins of it all. I hope you enjoy the discussion and please feel free to make any comments o...

In this episode I have a conversation with Emma & Rob as we reflect on a book that a small group of us read during Lent. The book is, "Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul" by John Philip Newell and is described as "A Celtic guide to listening to our souls and saving the world." This will be of particular interest to people who re-thinking faith or looking to find a way to rediscover the natural rhythms...

Subtypes have been mentioned in previous episodes based on Enneagram Types but we have not really explained what they are and why they are important. Hopefully this episode will do that, it mat also lead to further questions to explore. If you have any questions about this episode or any other comments or suggestions about the podcast as a whole, please email me at ds9@post.com Thank you for being...

In this episode, I have a conversation with Bruce, David and Paul on developing a “Rule of Life” or “Way of Life” for ourselves. This is a real life giving and important message on how to live a life that we want to live. For some of the resources that they mention in this episode, please head to the websites below.

In this episode I move away from the Enneagram and have a conversation with Claire Tomkins on the practices of journaling and story telling as a way of cultivating wholeness. She also mentions three prompts to be used for Journaling, they are: What does my heart want me to notice? What do I want to let go of today? What is life giving for me right now? (the quote I mention in relation to this, is...

In this episode I meet with PALs, Paul, Andy & Liz who have all been guests before and are all body types - we discuss the three centres of intelligence, the body, heart and mind, how they differ and how they compliment each other. We also look at decision making and growth through these centres. Paul and Andy head up an Enneagram training business and can be contacted through their website at...

Having finished having conversations with the Enneagram Head Types, where the best form of meditation is silence or the Centering Prayer, I thought I'd lead you in a form of prayer known as the Examen or Awareness Prayer which touches the head, heart and body centres.

In this episode I have a conversation with three friends, Anna, Joy and Sam who all lead with a Type 7 personality.  This is the last of the head types and the last but not least, of all the Enneagram types.

In this episode I have a conversation with Belinda, Phyllis and Therese about what it is like to have a Type 6 personality. 

In this episode we discover the inner depths of the Enneagram Type 5 personality as I have a conversation with three friends, Ian, Peter and Rachel.  

Following the "Heart Centre" conversations I have uploaded this meditation for the heart. I hope you enjoy. 

In this episode I have a conversation with three friends, Alan, Emma-Jayne and Heidi, who all lead with a Type 4 personality. I don't edit these episodes and we have an interesting point where some internet is lost, but I think that it all brings life to the natural conversation.

We continue our journey of the Heart Types by having a conversation with three women, who I have never met before about their experience of leading with an Enneagram Type 3 personality. I'm very grateful to Amanda, Jenny and Jo for not only making themselves available but also so honest and vulnerable. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed finding out more about an Enneagram type that...

After a break for the summer we begin to look at the Heart Types on the Enneagram and begin with Type 2, who are often known as the Giver or Helper and I have a conversation with three friends, Claire, David and Mike as we talk about what it means to lead with this particular personality.

Having had a conversation with the Enneagram "body types" I thought it would be helpful to lead you in a short body scan meditation.

In this episode we continue with the last of the body types and I have a conversation with three friends who lead with Type One, Andy, Annika and Mary, as we talk about what it means to lead with this type of personality. 

In this episode we continue with the body types and I have a conversation with two fellow Type Nines, Paul and Simon, as we talk about what it means to lead with this type of personality.  It's probably worth listening to just to hear about one of my most embarrassing moments!

We begin this podcast looking at the Enneagram, which is an amazing tool for personal development and spiritual growth and will be starting with the body types, eight, nine and one. In this episode I have a conversation with three friends, Corrie, Liz and Morwenna, who all lead with an Enneagram Type 8 personality. I’m hoping that this will be an interesting start to understanding the Enneagram Ty...

This is a short four minute introductory episode and trailer to the podcast.
