You can also connect with her on Facebook via Lauren Aune or email her a joyfulbodyyoga1@gmail.com. These are some of the questions we asked Lauren that you might want meditate on: 1)
How did finding the Enneagram help you to heal a part of your story that you needed to heal?
2) The deadly passion of the four is envy. Sometime envy shows up as comparison or competitiveness for 4’s. Do you ever struggle with envy and if so, how does it show up in your life?
3) The basic fear of the Type 4 is that they do not matter or are not having a significant impact on the world. In less healthy times, they often feel misunderstood, outcast, or unrelatable to or by others. How do you work on this basic fear that we may even call shame and learn to see yourself and embrace who you are?
4) What is a yoga pose that can help you find equanimity when you find yourself caught in dark feelings? 5) Does the thought of being flawed make you uncomfortable? What is easier for you to accept, flaws in others or in yourself?
6) How do you express yourself creatively?
7) Who is your most favorite creative individual (any medium, dead or alive) of all time?
8) What is your “pick me up” during moody & broody times? Do you use yoga to get out of the funk?
9) Do you have a memory of one of your first emotional experience/expressions? How do you reflect on it now?
