Roxanne Howe-Murphy: The Major Interference with sharing your gifts is Self-rejection
What’s so profound about the Enneagram is not just the behaviors and attitudes that we may have. It’s what’s going on underneath the waterline. I use an iceberg model, and what’s above that’s visible is what we might most connect with. Underneath are those deeper levels of motivation and hurt. The inner critic really comes into play. There are our

Weekly Questions
For your personal practice
#045 – Are you aware of your attachment to your sad emotions?
We might find a path of development when we understand the difference between true and false emotions. Emotions like sorrow and sadness should not be overcome but transformed, and living with us like emotions like happiness and freedom creates the foundation for a healthy life. We also have to understand the difference between true and false emotions, where true emotions are more like a state and where false emotions are caused by others (often connected with blame or
#044 – Are you aware of your emotional disconnect with other people?
Disconnecting might give you some time to think, but… Disconnecting from others or the situation can be a way of preserving energy and giving yourself the time to orient yourself. You can also disconnect from yourself, and for a short period of time, that can be useful, too. But disconnecting from others or yourself for a longer period of time is proven to be not healthy, both for your physical, emotional, and cognitive health. Several studies document
#043 – Are you aware of your passive aggressiveness?
The power of conscious passivity When we do not take action, we have taken action. It is not possible not to act, but we can choose not to respond in a conscious and self-aware way so our actions do not seem passive-aggressive. When we are passive, we can avoid escalations of conflicts and invite a higher degree of curiosity, reflection, and holding more perspectives at the same time. But we have to stay in our passiveness in a

Have you heard about the idea of positive manipulation? Every time we communicate, we are trying to manipulate others. At its core, manipulation is the intention to make other people agree with you and then have people take action in doing or not doing something specific. It is a mechanism that can be done with or without awareness and consciousness. Without awareness and consciousness, it can be a psychological structure running on autopilot and be a strong part
#041 – Are you aware of your dominating energy?
Do you know the difference between “power over” and “empowerment”? Expressing your dominating energy, whether done consciously or subconsciously, is an inherent part of our human nature. It is an emotional structure or pattern that lets other people know your boundaries and is an expression of your autonomy. On the positive side, “Domination” can help us in our personal leadership and state of decision-making. When expressed in personal relationships and deep trust with other people, we build
#040 – Are you aware of your judgment of other people?
Do you sense the difference between good and bad Judgment? Judging, whether done consciously or subconsciously, is an inherent part of the human experience. It’s a mental tool or structure that has aided our survival for thousands of years. However, like any tool or structure, it can be wielded for both constructive and destructive purposes. On the positive side, “Judging” can help us in making, where we judge if an initiative is good or bad, if communication
