Hey everyone! 🌟 I've been diving deep into the world of the Enneagram and its connection to spirituality and could really use some insights. 🤔 How do different Enneagram types navigate their spiritual journeys? Do certain types gravitate towards specific spiritual practices or philosophies? For example, do Type 4s find more resonance in introspective or artistic spiritual paths, while Type 1s might be drawn to structured and disciplined practices? Additionally, I'm curious about how understanding our Enneagram type can help us overcome spiritual challenges or deepen our spiritual practices. Has anyone had personal experiences where knowing your type influenced your spiritual growth or perspective? I'd love to hear your thoughts and stories! 🌱🙏 Thanks in advance for sharing!
