Mindfulness & Meditation for Real Humans
Mindfulness & Meditation | Enneagram Type 2 Interview
In this episode, Caroline Vogel and I talk about Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and explore a variety of practices that help us calm reactivity, feel awake to life and resourced. Caroline also shares more of her story as someone who leads with Type Two (sometimes called the Helpers or the Givers of the Enneagram) and what has helped her to remember and include herself in her circle of care.
