Ep 31 Enneagram 7: Finding freedom from the Type 7’s traps (Interview with Milton Stewart)
Listen in as Evolving Enneagram Founder Nhien Vuong interviews Enneagram professional Milton Stewart (Enneagram Type 7) (TN USA) about his personal, spiritual journey with the Enneagram. An Enneagram consultant, Milton is an internationally accredited Enneagram professional, Host of the Do It For The Gram Podcast, Founder of Kaizen Careers, Coaching and Consulting LLC, and IEA Global Board Member.
In this interview, Milton opens up about his religious upbringing, his lifelong journey as a wisdom seeker, how he has come to a different understanding of (the Enneagram-based) Holy Ideas of Holy Wisdom and Holy Plan, learning to trust more and more that life will provide without his needing to compulsive plan ahead to ensure his good will come to him. Related, he shares about learning to "surrender" to healing and heartfelt connection and his coming to "know" God as a God that transcends any religion. Throughout this interview, Milton shares candidly about his grappling with the idea of being “superficial,” his recent revelations during a very recent trip to Egypt, his default tendency to positively reframe negatives as well as to imagine or plan for a good time and how those tendencies have masked his fears and past pain, keeping them from being healed. Milton also offers us useful advice and practices that have helped him to become more trusting and rooted, including the practice of breathing in and down, which has helped him to feel the constriction of fear in his body long enough for that fear to actually release.

Ep 29 Enneagram 5: Grabbed by the heart (Interview with Dr. Khaled El Sherbini)
Listen in as Evolving Enneagram Founder Nhien Vuong interviews fellow Enneagram professional Dr. Khaled El Sherbini (Type 5) (EGYPT) about his personal, spiritual journey with the Enneagram.

He is also the founder of “BeCon, the Consciousness Academy,” a dedicated academy focusing on human development and spiritual transformation.
In this interview, Dr. Khaled shares about journey as a “well qualified” Five with multiple academic and professional credentials with a mere “hobby” around this quest for metaphysics to experiencing a split that caused him to take a “jump” of faith. Listen in as he shares his powerful journey to the “Holy Land” where he felt that he was undergoing a time of “cleaning” from his old life and self. Dr. Khaled, who identifies as a Muslim, opens up about his studies of the Enneagram, Reiki, integral theory, and more. He describes his mystical journey –one that which took him literally “up the mountain” (the holy Mount Sinai) and discusses his shift from emphasizing intellectual knowing as knowing the highest order to opening the gate to the energy (and messiness) of his heart making way for personal revelation, how the Enneagram connecting the spiritual to the material has helped to map his journey, and how his journey of honoring the intelligence of his heart and gut has begun to allow for a deeper "gnosis" or knowing--and embodied and more compassionate wisdom.

You'll get to hear Rania conclude our interview with a prayer that is most dear to her heart, which she shares with us first in English then in Arabic.

Along the way, he discovers the real meaning of humility–and its not what 9s normally think it is!

Note from Nhien:
"The world as experience belongs to the basic word I-It. The basic word I-You establishes the world of relation." (Martin Buber, I and Thou, 56)
"Every You in the world is doomed by its nature to become a thing or at least to enter into thinghood again and again. In the language of objects: every thing in the world can—either before or after it becomes a thing—appear to some I as its You. But the language of objects catches only one corner of actual life." (Martin Buber, I and Thou, 69)
What does it mean to go beyond Object Relations? To another as a You and not an It? This is an inquiry I’ve been engaging for years. I’m delighted to share we got to touch on it a bit in this latest episode of our Evolving Enneagram interspiritual podcast.–Nhien
Ep. 20: Attachment Types 3-6-9
Today’s episode is 1 of 3 on Attachment Types (3-6-9). Rev Nhien, J.D., M.Div.

Listen in as Nhien, Valerie, and Lyndsey explore Enneagram Attachment Types 3, 6, 9, including object relations, attachment theory, and each’s own typing (including mistyping) journeys. They respond to questions such as what is the difference between attachment types and attachment theory? How does each relate to their respective “object relation”--does it fit? How does this compare to the object relation of their connecting points? Are attachment types “needier” than other Enneagram Types?

Bonus Track: Three Centers Meditation
A guided meditation by Rev Nhien to support integration of the three centers of intelligence: body, heart, and head.
Bonus Track: Welcoming Prayer Practice: Embracing Your Experience with Love
Welcoming Prayer Practice is one of the deepest expressions of self love. It is one way we can embrace ourselves exactly as we are in any given moment, rather than judging or analyzing ourselves based on how we think we should be or feel. This is an ideal practice for both beginning or ending one’s day. However, it is particularly useful to apply this practice when triggering emotions arise. Rather than reject our experience, we embrace it. When we are fully able to welcome our experience, Divine Love indwelling in us, transforms it. This practice of releasing any need for power or control, approval or esteem, or security or certainty around a life situation frees us to accept the moment as it is--an act of profound spiritual surrender.
Listen in as Rev Nhien guides us through the three steps of this profound contemplative practice known as Welcoming Prayer.
