Susan Piver, meditation teacher and writer of the nuanced book The Buddhist Enneagram, merges concepts of Buddhism and Enneagram, emphasizing how the Enneagram is a spiritual tool and not a self-help program, personality typer, or life hack. She talks of our 3 centers of intelligence (mental/head triad-delusion, heart/emotional triad-grasping, and body/instinct triad-aggression) as the 3 poisons. And arrows of integration and disintegration as peaceful and wrathful deities. We just grazed the early chapters of her very helpful book, with my dog Wendell repeatedly groaning in her lap. There is much more to dig into. Also, when I talk about “centering” myself in this podcast, I am talking about the compulsion to see myself as the center of my experience. I am not talking about centering prayer or grounding oneself. I am literally talking about overfocusing on self and individual identity.End music is by artists Adam Hilton and Henna Chou created in collaboration with my exhibition Treespell (3:35pm, clearing not far from camp on the album Forest Meditation)

On this episode of StreetSmart Wisdom Podcast, guest Susan Piver discusses the Enneagram and its nine different ways of being. She explains how understanding someone's type can lead to compassion and meeting them where their attention is. The conversation also explores the Enneagram's subtypes and how they impact how individuals perceive situations. The podcast emphasizes the Enneagram as a tool for communication and compassion, rather than labeling individuals. The second half of the episode will focus on the Wisdom Feed's topic of the month and the guest's new book about the Buddhist Enneagram.   Susan Piver is a Buddhist practitioner who has been studying the enneagram for almost 30 years. She believes that the enneagram, which describes nine ways of being in the world, can be used as a school of spiritual wisdom to deepen compassion towards ourselves and others. Susan emphasizes the concept of upaya, skillful means, in Buddhism and believes that the enneagram is one of the most potent upayas to practice compassion. In her view, the enneagram goes beyond being just a personality typing system and can be used to understand and get along with others in profound and direct ways.   TIMESTAMP [00:01:51] Enneagram meets Buddhism for greater compassion.

Susan Piver is the New York Times bestselling author of nine books, an internationally renowned Buddhist meditation teacher and public speaker, and former record industry professional, having worked at legendary independent Hip-Hop label Tommy Boy, as well as Rounder Records where she helped Alison Krauss achieve a Platinum album. Susan has been a guest on Oprah twice, has been a speaker at Harvard and Google, and founded the worlds largest online only meditation center - The Open Heart Project. But as she shares throughout the course of this highly engaging conversation with Jaymee, all of these accomplishments pale in comparison to her eventually discovering the writings and teachings of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (posthumously), which indirectly led to a life-altering encounter with Shambhala Publications founder Samuel Bercholz, who became her Tibetan Buddhist teacher (and still is to this day). Jaymee surprises Susan with an (unannounced) pop in visit from Samuel deep into an episode that has been rank with generous smatterings of praise and tears of gratitude shed by her prior to his arrival, creating a sincere moment of magic for her on the anniversary of a car accident that almost took her life. The conversation between Jaymee and Susan is like hearing two long lost friends who have never met each other, an hour drenched in an ocean of openness and shared devotion.

How might your life be different if you'd gotten comfortable saying no in your earliest days? No to other people's opinions about everything from education to careers to relationships. No to someone else telling you what to prioritize and how to spend your time. No to people you've never met offering their opinion on what you should or shouldn't do, then tell you how they think your choice worked out.How would your life be different, if you'd gotten okay with choosing for you, and not just for acceptance or obligation? And, how might you reclaim it, if you started getting clear on when and what to say yes or no to from this moment on? And, rid yourself of the need to please? That's what we're diving into with today's guest, Natalie Lue, as a self-proclaimed recovering people pleaser who's spent the past nearly two decades unwinding the need to please and reclaiming freedom and ease. Natalie is a writer, speaker, podcaster, artist, and founder of one of the longest-running personal-growth websites in the world, Baggage Reclaim and The Baggage Reclaim Sessions podcast, and author of the new book, The Joy of Saying No: A Simple Plan to Stop People Pleasing, Reclaim Boundaries, and Say Yes to the Life You Want.

We talk about the life events that brought Natalie back to herself, back to reclaiming her boundaries and life, and we get into some of the nitty-gritty of what it looks like to say yes to the life you want and how to embrace the joy of saying no.

We will learn: How to find your enneagram type and why it's not as simple as a test or checklist. The 9 paths of warriorship for living a compassionate, fiercely awake life. The strengths and poisons to bring awareness to in order to evolve. What wisdom could we unleash if we intersect Buddhism and the enneagram?  While they might sound unrelated, if you think about it, Buddhism is a path of spiritual development leading to insight into the true nature of reality, while the enneagram is basically a path of understanding or uncovering the true nature of ourselves. So, when we overlay it with Buddhism, the enneagram gives powerful insight into your unique spiritual journey—and how you can support others in theirs.  So today, we're going to weave together two ancient schools of wisdom: Buddhism and the enneagram to travel the nine paths of confusion to wisdom. Our guest is Susan Piver. She is a Buddhist teacher who spent nearly 30 years studying Tibetan Buddhism and the Enneagram in parallel. Piver masterfully weaves together these two ancient schools of wisdom and magic in a compassionate exploration of the nine styles of traveling the path from confusion to wisdom.

This episode is brought to you by Mitopure, BiOptimizers, and Beekeeper's Naturals.If you've ever been curious about why you are the way you are, the Enneagram can provide some really interesting insights. Translating this ancient practice into modern life can help us understand our unique gifts and how we can best show up in the world. The Enneagram is a system of mapping nine ways of being, including personality and beyond. The teaching of the Enneagram—an ancient map of how we work—has a fascinating intersection with Buddhism—an ancient map of how the mind works.

Listen to Susan Piver, New York Times bestselling author of nine books and insightful meditation teacher, school Heather on the enneagram from her Buddhist's perspective, and at the same time, divulging the single most important thing to know in order to have a successful relationship. Discover how tools that help you understand the differences between people actually help you connect better with people. Get real about whether you want others to be what you want them to be, or what they really are.   In this episode, Heather and Susan discuss: Why no one knows where the enneagram came from.  Difference between exoteric vs esoteric teachings of Buddhism. Why it's such a painful time, and why things that have worked in the past may not work today. Two ways to work with difficult emotions: 1) Get away from it, but then your world shrinks. 2) Go towards it, and expand to include everything you feel.  How the enneagram, and other tools that help you understand the differences between people, actually help you feel love and connect better with other people. This can help you improve relationships.  How the enneagram is different from Myers-Briggs and DiSC. How a real relationship exists when you can answer the question, “Who is this person outside of my own mind?”  What you can transform when you can see where someone else's attention can go. Do I want you to be the person I want you to be, or the person that you really are?  How to spot when you're projecting.  In order for another person to understand you, you have to know yourself.  The benefit of being fully loved.

Life today can feel like wall-to-wall conflict. And most of us, well, we plain hate the feeling it gives us. Thing is, some conflict is not only good, but necessary and important. While other conflict, high conflict, is pretty much a road to othering, isolation, and devastation. Question is, how do you know the difference? And once you do, how do you step into good conflict with more grace and ease, that both helps you breathe, but also leads to a genuine resolution that leaves everyone better for it?My guest today, Amanda Ripley, offers her wise counsel as a New York Times bestselling author, investigative journalist, and co-founder of Good Conflict, a conflict meditation business. Her most recent book, High Conflict: Why We Get Trapped and How We Get Out, explores the complexities of high conflict through storytelling and interviews featuring a dozen people in three countries who escaped destructive conflicts to gather lessons for the rest of us in our polarized world. If you've grappled with high-stakes conflict before or wondered how we've all ended up in such a divided state, you'll discover a lot in this episode that'll hopefully help you see the bigger picture.You can find Amanda at: WebsiteIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Susan Piver about the Buddhist Enneagram and how that can help you understand yourself and others in a way that eases conversation.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For Great Resources & Discount CodesIndeed: Connect with your talent audience so you can make more quality hires faster.

When you hear the word - enneagram, you likely have one of three replies: Oh, yay, can't get enough of the enneagram. Oh please, aNOTHer podcast about the enneagram? Or, ummmm, what's the enneagram?!Well, no matter where you fall on that spectrum, good news. You're about to discover one of the most powerful personal insight tools ever created, AND in a way you've never heard it explained before. Not just as a tool for personal awakening and transformation, but also as a game-changing lever to transform your personal and professional relationships, see things you never saw, understand people with a depth you never imagined possible - and effect change in the state of culture, society, the world even. ​​This conversation, with a member of my chosen family, legendary Buddhist teacher, founder of the Open Heart Project, and New York Times bestselling author, Susan Piver, will not only rock your understanding of the Enneagram, it may well change your life. And, it's all about her groundbreaking synthesis of the enneagram and Buddhism, or, as Susan calls it, the Buddhist Enneagram, which also happens to be the title of her equally revelatory new book. These new insights are especially important, given the times we live in. In today's world, compassion from a stranger is something you can only hope for as we struggle over our differences in race, religion, gender, politics, and more. The Buddhist Enneagram helps you see and understand others, in a truer, clearer, more nuanced way, then step into relationships with more empathy and compassion. In our conversation today, we dive deeper into the enneagram and its roots, and Susan takes me through her fascinating journey of discovering the tool and using it through a Buddhist lens, and we also explore the ways the enneagram could be an integral guide in our individual and collective transformations to becoming more compassionate, connected, and whole—only if we're willing and brave enough.

In the last couple of years, many people have been extolling the virtues of something called the "Enneagram" but—what the hell is it? On today's show, longtime dharma teacher, Susan Piver, is here to demystify it. As she explains, the Enneagram is a tool that allows people to figure out their personality type and says it has been one of, if not the most important, tool in her personal development. Piver has been a student of Buddhism since 1995, graduated from a Buddhist seminary in 2004 and was authorized to teach meditation in 2005. In 2012, she founded The Open Heart Project— the world's largest online-only meditation center. She's written ten books including her latest called The Buddhist Enneagram: Nine Paths to Warriorship. In this episode we talk about:What the Enneagram is and why Piver finds it so helpfulWhat she means by warriorshipThe nine personality types, which she views as maps of our blind spotsWhy, unlike other personality systems, there is no test for the Enneagram (at least in Susan's view)And we talk about why Susan thinks the Enneagram and Buddhism mix so well even though on first blush it would seem to contradict the dharmic emphasis on the self being an illusionFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/susan-piver-495See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Bhaskar grew up in India in a relatively typical middle-class setting. Her parents dreamed that she become the first physician in her entire extended family. Being the firstborn and the classic "good child," Dr. Bhasker put her heart and soul into making their dream come true. By chance, she had an arranged marriage and moved to the US. After a stint in Kuwait, being a stay-at-home-mom to two young sons, she returned to the US to complete her residency in Internal Medicine. Dr. Bhaskar's family was reunited after spending a tough three years apart. She was initially happy in her job as a hospitalist. But after several years, Dr. Bhasker became disillusioned by the system, increasing administrative burden and the overall focus on "sick care." That's when her development journey began. In 2016, she became a Certified Facilitator of the Whole Health Medicine Institute program. The most relevant part of that training was "Heal the Healer." In 2017, she became a Certified Meditation Instructor under Susan Piver as she saw the effects of meditation and mindfulness in her own life. Her journey of self-discovery and healing is ongoing for herself as well as in the service of her clients. Dr. Bhasker is active on the AMWA (American Medical Women's Association) coaching committee and helps coach physicians and other healthcare professionals as part of CFI, Coaching for Institutions. She has more than 350 hours of coaching experience, and she loves watching her clients become more joyous, content, and emotionally at best they have ever been!!
