About this listen

"How are you feeling?"

Christine Yi Suh says that this has always been a hard question. She writes: "The more accurate question for a Four may be, 'What aren't you feeling?' I can grab my prevailing emotion and tell you how I'm doing from that emotion's point of view (joy, elation, sadness, grief, confusion - you name it!). I live and breathe a kaleidoscope of living, feeling, conflicting emotions."

Many times Fours are labeled "emotionally intense" or "too much", but for a Four, this is just how life is. This is why Fours are ideal companions in the midst difficult times: the death of a loved one, the birth of a baby, transitional seasons in career, relational conflict, and so on.

The Enneagram is a profound tool for empathy, so whether or not you are a Four, you will grow from learning about Fours and enhance your relationships across the Enneagram spectrum. Each summary concludes with an opportunity for further engagement such as a journaling prompt, reflection questions, a prayer, or a spiritual practice.

Beautiful meandering thoughtful insights peppered with Bible stories which, though I don't practice Christianity, I really loved. My Fourness was moved to tears almost every one of the forty days. Thank you for sharing the historical information about Korea and Japan and your personal experiences as an Asian-American. Your awareness of injustice and using your voice, your journey toward loving yourself and doing more beyond empathising with the world around you resonated so profoundly. Just the right read at this perimenopausal phase of my life. Thank you. I wish you and all those you mentioned throughout and particularly at the end, well. May you each go from strength to loving strength. I am encouraged to learn more about my centres of intelligence and wings and envisage the exponential spiritual growth that seems possible 🙌
