Enneagram and transformation go hand in hand

What if your personality is just the tip of the iceberg? In this blog, you’ll discover how the Enneagram not only offers insight into your behavior but also serves as a powerful tool for deep inner transformation. Learn how trance meditations can support you in going beyond your patterns and coming home to who you truly are.

The Mask We Wear – and How the Enneagram Transformation Helps Us Shed It

We all wear a mask. Not because we are fake. Not because we want to hide something.
But out of habit. Out of protection.

We once set it up to survive in a world that sometimes felt overwhelming, unsafe, or incomprehensible. It helped us to fit in. It gave us something to hold on to. And somewhere… also a form of control.

That mask became our personality

Our way of doing, of thinking, of reacting to life.

But underneath that mask is something much more precious: Our essence. Our vulnerability. Our strength.

The Enneagram shows you which mask you wear – and why you ever started wearing it. It makes visible what has played a role unconsciously for years. Not to put you in a box, but to free you from the box in which you have unconsciously locked yourself up.

How beautiful would it be…

When do you no longer have to fight for safety?
When do you no longer have to prove that you are good enough? If you are allowed to sink into who you really are – soft, powerful, whole?

That’s where transformation begins. Not by adding anything, but by slowly peeling off layers. Layer by layer. Mask after mask.

Until you get home. In yourself.

What is the Enneagram anyway?

The Enneagram is not a test or trick. It’s an ancient system of consciousness that shows you nine different personality types – each with its own way of looking, feeling, and reacting to life. But what makes it so powerful is that it goes beyond behavior.

It reveals your core belief. That one deep, often unconscious conviction that colors your whole life.
For example:

– Type 1 believes deep down, “I’m not good enough the way I am.”
– Type 5 often feels, “I don’t know, so I have to back off.”
– Type 8 lives with: “I have no control, so I have to be strong.”

Do you recognize yourself in such a sentence? Then you immediately feel how deep it is.

Knowing is not enough

Many people discover their type and read all kinds of things about it. They recognize themselves in the descriptions, understand their behavior better, and learn to make more conscious choices.

But still… some patterns keep coming back. The criticism. The doubt. The fear. The control. The avoidance.

Why? Because those patterns are not only in your head. They also live in your body. In your nervous system. In your subconscious.

Transformation starts in feeling

Real change only happens when you sink under your thinking. Below your analyses. Below your statements. To that deeper layer in which you really make contact with yourself.

But why is that necessary?

Because your personality – your Enneatype – did not just arise, it is a protection mechanism that formed early in your childhood. In response to your environment. On how you experienced love, safety, and recognition.

Maybe you felt that you were only appreciated if you were strong. Or silent. Or helpful. Maybe you had to adapt, be smart, responsible, invisible, cheerful, or above all, not difficult.

And so you started behaving in a way that worked. You developed a strategy to belong, to feel control, to secure yourself in a world that was sometimes unpredictable or overwhelming.

That strategy became your personality

It became so obvious that you forgot it was ever a choice. And that there is also something else living in you. Something real. Something softer.

That is why we say:
Enneagram and Transformation does not start in the head, but in feeling.
Daring to feel what you have hidden away for a long time. The pain you’d rather avoid. The tension that your body has started to carry. But also: love under the pain. The power is under your control. The peace under your restlessness.

That is why we have developed deep trance meditations, specially tailored to each Enneatype.
Not to fix you. Not to improve you.
But to bring you back to who you really are. Under the mask. Below the strategy. Below the story.
So that you not only understand why you do what you do, but you can also let it go. Soften. Transform.

Enneagram and Transformation with meditation

Each trance meditation is carefully tailored to the unique energy of your Enneagram type.
Because true transformation doesn’t come from thinking alone—it comes from feeling, from allowing, from turning inward.

These meditations are designed to meet you where you are, and gently guide you beyond the fixations and defenses of your type.
They help you to let go of what no longer serves you, to soften the edges you’ve built for protection, and to begin healing from within.

Enneagram and transformation go hand in hand, and this is where the journey truly begins.

What others experience

Type 2 – The Helper
“As a Type 2, I always found it difficult to set my boundaries. I lived for others, felt responsible for their happiness, and forgot about myself. The first time I did the trance meditation, I felt how deep that old belief was: ‘I am only valuable if I give.’ By repeating the meditation regularly, I have anchored something new in myself. A kind of silent permission to take care of myself as well. Now saying ‘no’ no longer feels selfish, but loving.”
– Lieke (Type 2)
 
Type 8 – The Boss
“I always thought I had to be strong. Unassailable. Above all, don’t show weakness. But the trance meditation touched something old in me, something soft, something real. During one of the sessions, I felt tears coming, not of sadness, but of relief. The meditation helped me recognize how much energy it takes to be ‘on’ all the time. I would never have achieved this experience with my head.”
– Stefan (Type 8)
 
Type 1 – The Perfectionist
“My standard position was to set the bar high for myself and others. Everything could be better, tighter, purer. That cost me a lot of energy, especially towards myself. The trance meditation gave me an experience that I had never had with reading or talking: I felt what it is like to be completely good as I am. No voice whispered points for improvement. No judgment. Since then, I have been using the meditation whenever I notice that I am becoming too strict again.”
– Annelies (Type 1)

What is a trance meditation?

A trance meditation is a guided inner journey. Through relaxation and focused words, we bring you into a light hypnotic state – a safe, gentle state in which your subconscious is open to healing.

We take you: – to your core belief – to the defense mechanism that has been protecting you for so long – to the passion that drives you (but often also exhausts you) – and to the lesson that lies hidden under all those layers.

You don’t have to do anything. Just listening, breathing, and receiving.

Coming home to yourself

Each trance meditation is tailored to the energy of your Enneagram type, not to a general story, but to the specific pain, fixation, and driving force that have shaped your personality structure.

These meditations help you to let go from the inside out. To soften where you are tense. To heal where you have lost yourself.

From having to be allowed. From control to trust. From distraction to presence.
You don’t have to change to be good. But by transforming, you remember who you always were.
