In this episode of The Real Enneagram, we delve into the profound topic of peace, a universal desire that transcends all Enneagram types and explore how peace is not merely a reaction to our circumstances but a deeper quality of the soul that can be accessed regardless of external chaos.

We begin by discussing Viktor Frankl's insights from his book Man's Search for Meaning, highlighting how he maintained a sense of peace even in the most horrific conditions of the Holocaust. This leads us to reflect on our own lives, where many of us struggle with anxiety and anger in response to the turmoil around us. Joe shares a personal story about losing his job and how he and his wife cultivated peace through gratitude, transforming their kitchen into a reminder of what they still had.

Scott adds to the conversation by emphasizing the importance of being present and how peace cannot be imposed but rather is an emergent quality. We discuss the challenges each Enneagram type faces in maintaining peace and the practices that can help, such as self-inquiry and mindfulness.

As we wrap up, we encourage our listeners to consider how they can cultivate peace in their own lives and relationships, especially in a world filled with conflict. We close with an inquiry for reflection: "How might you use your body, your breath, your posture, your stillness, as a doorway back to peace when your type's ego pattern disrupts it?"

Thank you for joining us today, and we hope this discussion inspires you to seek and nurture peace within yourself and your communities.
