In the midst of the tasks of just being alive, it is easy to lose track of our place in life, on this earth, and of our wonderment about this vast and mysterious universe. I know–because I lost track of myself and of the sacred and interconnected nature that comes with living consciously.
Yet, I intuitively knew that the experience of being part of something bigger than my day-to-day routine was core to my life. It called me. Something was waiting to be uncovered. Perhaps you have had a similar experience.
Four Central Tenants of Deep Living
With years of exploration, study and discoveries, four central tenants of what I call Deep Living became clear:
- recognizing that the false ideas underlying our familiar sense of self lead to dissatisfaction and ongoing struggles;
- developing a healthy, trusting relationship with ourselves based on increased self-knowledge and presence ignites our sense of inner well-being;
- building on the innate capacity for accessing our deeper sources of guidance and wisdom allows us to authentically lead our lives and offer our gifts;
- and perhaps most difficult is being profoundly compassionate and accepting of our unique life journey so that we can truly know ourselves as whole. (adapted from R. Howe-Murphy, Deep Living with the Enneagram: Recovering Your True Nature, revised & edited, 2020, p. 16)
