 MONTHLY INSIGHT: Balance
Gerry Fathauer has written this beautiful Insight Activity on Balance as a way to begin the New Year. Gerry, a Senior Member of the Enneagram in Business Network (EIBN), has a gift of the "word," as you can read in the Insight below.  Gerry's Insight on Balance
Balance is essential to our well-being and to being at choice, yet it can be an elusive quality in our hurried lives. Finding our center - our ground of being - is essential to being balanced. When we are balanced, our way of seeing the world is on a more even keel. We are better able to cope and to be the person we want to be. When our lives are balanced, we are better able to live in joy. Not just balance among family, spouse, work and play, but also balance in our perspective on life. Like the tightrope walker whose life depends on balance, so, too, our lives depend on our ability to maintain balance: to have a steady perspective. When the tightrope walker wavers, the horizon tilts dangerously, as does the tightrope walker's perspective. Balance is essential to having an even-keeled perspective. Without balance, we lose track of the horizon - our fixed point of reference - and our perspective is easily distorted ... adding additional distortion to that of ennea-type. What causes you to lose balance? Do you have a practice that helps you regain your balance? Are you able to return to your ground of being in the very moment the tightrope sways out from under you and your perspective goes awry? We have greater access to balance when we are centered in our ground of being. From this place, the world no longer shifts and turns; our perspective is steady and true. Our ability to choose is clean and clear. Your being in balance is a gift, not only to yourself, but also to others. What a great way to start the New Year!

A Very Cool Thing: The Enneagram Goes Public in Film
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
 Most of us know or have heard that actors, writers and directors use the Enneagram to create, develop and portray characters who feel real, even when they are fictional rather than real. However, this use of the Enneagram has been primarily private and, therefore, a source of some speculation. Now, the Enneagram is going public because actors are talking about it in interviews.
In the American version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" - the first part of a trilogy based on Stieg Larsson's best-selling books - Rooney Mara, the actress who plays the lead character, explains that she used the Enneagram to help her get into her character (Lisbeth Salander, Type 5) at the suggestion of the film's director, David Fincher. I found this interview several weeks ago on Google Alerts-Enneagram! You might want to subscribe to this service.
You can read the interview with Rooney Mara, click here.
In addition, a year ago, I wrote about the ennea-type of Lisbeth Salander in a blog titled, Fives in Film, comparing Salander and the depiction of Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network." To read this blog, click here. |
