Typing is one of the hardest parts of Enneagram work—but by tuning into the energy of each type, we can begin to see beneath surface behaviors and connect more deeply to the essence within.

Through guided embodiment practices and vivid energetic portraits, Dr. Lissa Friedman reveals how each Enneagram type lives in the body—and how that energy shapes our patterns, defenses, and path back to Essence.

Explore how each Enneagram type expresses energy—whether adapting, reaching outward, or turning inward—and learn to recognize the subtle ways these movements shape our patterns, defenses, and relationships.

Dr. Lissa Friedman breaks down the nine Enneagram types into three energetic groups—adaptors, inward movers, and outward expressers—offering a powerful way to feel the Enneagram in the body and begin to sense each type's core motivation through its energy.

Dr. Lissa Friedman shares the origin story of the Embodiment Tradition—how stepping into the physicality and voice of her clients led to a deeper understanding of the nine Enneagram types as distinct energetic patterns living in the body.

Dr. Lissa Friedman traces the roots of the Embodiment Tradition to her discovery that Enneagram fixation—our patterned identity—creates an energetic block to true liberation, and that by feeling the type in the body, we can begin to loosen its hold and return to Essence.
