Summary

Understanding your approach to dating, relationships, and sex through the lens of your Enneagram personality type

• Explains the relationship and sexual differences in the 9 Enneagram personality types for both genders

• Examines how we can create greater intimacy with our partners and what blocks our sexual enjoyment

• Looks at each type’s fantasies and investigates how our behavior in relationships alters according to how emotionally integrated or disintegrated we are

• Explores the three types of love and their countertypes; each type’s Enneagram Passions and Virtues in relation to intimacy; how to engage with each type; and whether some types make better lovers

Sex can take us from the sacred sublime to the darkest aspects of humanity. It can carry us on the wings of pure pleasure, or crush and potentially destroy us. No act in the human experience, barring the essential survival needs of food and water, can have more of an effect on us.

In Sex and the Enneagram, Ann Gadd explores relationships and sex through the lens of the Enneagram, its nine personality types, and the subtypes of the wings and Instinctual Triads. The author introduces the Enneagram system and provides a full chapter devoted to each type. She examines each type’s approach to sex, their fantasies, and levels of integration in relation to love and sex, as well as each type’s approach to issues such as pornography, sexual problems, and dating sites and whether some types make better lovers. The author explains the Enneagram Passions and Virtues of each type in relation to sex, divorce, wing influences, and gender and explains how the 27 Sub or Instinctual types and the Hornevian Triads of the Enneagram system affect our sexuality. Most importantly, Gadd looks at how we can heal ourselves sexually so we can create more fulfilling, transforming intimacy for ourselves and our partners.

Through understanding ourselves and our partners sexually, with the help of the Enneagram, Gadd hopes to bring us to deeper levels of compassion and understanding for each other. Sex then can be an expression enhancing our love for each other, rather than simply a physical act. By understanding your own and your lover’s Enneagram type, intimate giving and receiving can be an empowering process to embody our love for ourselves and others.

Ann Gadd is an accredited Enneagram practitioner (iEQ9 certified), author, holistic therapist, artist, workshop facilitator, and journalist. An avid, long-term student of the Enneagram, she offers Enneagram workshops for beginners and advanced students. The author of 21 books, including The Enneagram of Eating, The Girl Who Bites Her Nails, and Finding Your Feet, she lives in Cape Town, South Africa.

Thank you very much for joining us today, and we'll see you in the next video.

0:31.0

Welcome to Destiny. Now here's your host, Cliff Dunning.

0:39.0

This week on Destiny, we continue our look at ancient knowledge that has been transformed into western teachings or traditions.

0:51.0

One of these traditions is the Enneagram, which was presented in its earliest form, developed by an Armenian Greek sage, philosopher known as George Gurjev.

1:07.0

Gurjev is a very interesting person. He is born in the late 1800s, migrates to Europe.

1:16.0

And his distillation of ancient teachings is fascinating, and he becomes really the marquee for early esoteric teachings and bringing forth knowledge from the ancient past.

1:34.0

The Enneagrams are subject today. In fact, we're moving beyond the nine personality types into sexual compatibility and how to deal with the different personality types that you may be in a relationship with. This is a program.

1:52.0

Now, for those of you who are not familiar with Gurjev, he has a number of students who were part of his teachings.

2:02.0

But, you know, if you've been listening to earth ancients, these are, again, tools for transformation. We have had the history, the lineage of yoga, the teachings of the Maharishi Mejyogi, and the downloading and teachings of meditation.

2:22.0

And we'll continue these programs. If you follow destiny, you'll get a sense that many of the most profound traditions come out of the ancient past.

2:35.0

In many cases, some of our texts that we don't have anymore, some of them are in the Vedas.

2:42.0

But many of these teachings were discovered in different scrolls and different references that these wisdom teachers distilled into a palatable formula that Western culture and in our case, the United States citizens were easy to digest.

3:05.0

Now, the Aeograms, although are fun to consider when you do your personality types, when it comes to relationships, this is when it really becomes accurate.

3:17.0

I am a five in the scale of one to nine. And every time I read about my personality type, I have to chuckle because the readings and the information is very, very accurate.

3:34.0

In fact, so accurate that I have to scratch my head and go, how do they know that?

3:39.0

But the topic today, again, is sex in the Aeogram, how to work with the nine personality types, the subtypes, and the instinctual drive of each type, and how to work with them if you're in a relationship.

3:57.0

It all comes back to George Gurjev and his development of this system that is extracted from the ancient past.

4:07.0

And I keep saying this, how do they understand the human condition so well? How do they understand how the brain works to create meditation and yoga?

4:17.0

The simplified system that is so beneficial that many people are now seeing that yoga is a way of anti-aging.

4:27.0

A meditation has shown to keep the brain young and the cognitive functions working at a high pace into your senior years.

4:39.0

So here we go again. Gurjev discovers this system developed probably an period before history, which would be the predeluvian period, and comes up with the foundation, which would later be called the Aeogram.

4:58.0

Now I have a short history on Gurjev and where he came from, how he passed down this information, and why his teachings, spiritual traditions, are something that we all need to look a little closer at.
