Enneagram Examen

The Examen is a technique for prayerful reflection on the day’s events to discern God’s presence and direction for daily life. An ancient spiritual practice, the Examen can enable us to recognize God’s hand working in our lives. The graphics below outline a practice for combining insights from the Enneagram of Personality with the spiritual Examen practice. Each Enneagram type has its ego fixation, holy idea, temptation, passion, and virtue. Reflecting on how these manifest in daily life through a spiritual practice like the Examen can be a powerful tool for transformation. Each type has its own card below for personalized practice.
