It isn’t necessary to delve deeply into metaphysics or deep meditation to notice that we can be self observant. The simple act of taking our mind off the usual circus of scattered,random thoughts, feelings and sensations to focus on a desired area of our body or the flow of impressions we receive makes for subtle but profound changes in our state of mind,and it is in my personal practice of Tai Chi where I’ve come to appreciate this especially, both as an enhancer and reinforcement of the lessons of the Enneagram. This gentle remnant of a Chinese martial art has swelled in popularity worldwide not only as a health enhancer but as meditative tool that quiets the mind, grounds the body and directs the will.
