Book excerpt: The Enneagram meets Ignatius (c)The iEnneagram (FULL COLOR)From the Intro: " Get ready for a transformation! The Enneagram is a psycho/spiritual mapping of nine personality styles. The Motions of the Soul; The(c)iEnneagram is about developing awareness of the motions of your soul. Staying aware of your awareness and bringing an intentional response to that attention for your own sake and the good of others. When awareness becomes intentional, we let go of anxiety, fear, and shame and virtue flow through us. This tool releases old patterns of reaction and decision-making. One can discover movement rather than stuckness. The (c)iEnneagram model comes from the influence of two faithful Christ following; Spirit filled guides. These guides are Franciscan Monk turned Evangelist and Ramon Llull and Ignatius Loyola's Founder of the Society of Jesus. Ignatius discovered "motions of the soul" or "discernment of spirits" to be crucial in living a Spirit-filled life. These motions are the inner experiences of emotion, intellect, and gut reactions, both attraction, and repulsion. Ignatius categorized these as "consolations and desolations." We will explore these words and their meanings in the practice section of this guide. Inspired by Raymon Lull's diagram, this model recognizes three equally important Centers of Intelligence also called The Triads. The HEART-EQ or emotional intelligence (types 2, 3, 4), of the HEAD-IQ or thinking (types 5, 6, 7), and of the instinct, GUT-GQ (types 8, 9, 1.) While all types have access to all three centers, we have a preferred style. When we can access our IQ, EQ and GQ intelligence we will make decisions in ways that bring our very best life to others! The practice of finding what God is doing in us moment by moment results in Divine alignment. Kierkegaard said, "With God's help I shall become myself." Here, you have discovered a tool to become your best self through the learning and spiritual practices in Motions of the Soul: the (c)iEnneagram ENDORSEMENTS FOR ENNEAGRAM PERSONALITY STYLES AND MOTIONS OF THE SOUL WORKSHOPS AND Books"Clare Loughrige's Enneagram materials have been invaluable to me as a spiritual director. Her knowledge of, and insights into the Enneagram have helped me to understand this valuable instrument in ways I previously had not. Again and again, I find that when I use her materials with others, paths to freedom in Christ are discovered in ways not previously seen. Plus, hearing Clare teach on the Enneagram makes the material come alive even more!" Mary Albert Darling Author, Associate Professor of Communication, Adjunct, Masters in Spiritual Formation and Leadership Chair, Spring Arbor University Clare is a very energetic and interactive speaker.

We are very grateful for Clare's facilitation, teaching and the understanding she imparted to us at Family Tree with the Enneagram Workshop. The Lord has blessed her with many talents and she is sharing them to impact others. In this case, not only our team but the patients we serve. R. Troy Carlson, M.D. Family Tree Medical Practice I wholeHEARTedly recommend Clare Loughrige to you. I have invited Clare to speak in both small group (approximately 25) and larger group (more than 200) and in each setting, we have found her presentations to be engaging, insightful and meaningful for each participant. Clare knows how to keep an audience's attention using the right amount of humor and pertinent examples. I believe your organization will benefit both from the Enneagram and the way Clare presents it.
