BEWARE OF THE “HYPNOTIC VOICE” This blog may be provocative, although my intention is to make it thought-provoking. The issue is what I am seeing as the frequent use of the “hypnotic voice” by Enneagram professionals in their videos on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. As a young PhD student in the late 1970s, it was drilled into us to NOT use a hypnotic voice when teaching, leading guided imagery, meditations, centering activities, or in any other context. The exception would be if (a) we were trained and licensed hypnotherapists and (b) our clients had come to us knowingly and explicitly for a hypnotherapy session. But the reason for not using the hypnotic voice wasn’t because of these two factors. It was because using the hypnotic voice is manipulative, generating an unconscious positive reaction to a particular message. It can be used to “sell” a product, to sell a training program, or even to sell a positive message. Still, the person using the “hypnotic voice” is making the decision for the person receiving the message. And thus, manipulation is involved. WHAT IS THE HYPNOTIC VOICE? This voice has a number of characteristics: Calm, soothing voice tone Even voice tone with minimal inflection Much slower than normal speech Uses few questions Rarely using upticks at the end of a sentence Softer voice than normal Deeper or higher voice than normal Use of repeating words at regular intervals WHY ARE SO MANY ENNEAGRAM PEOPLE STARTING TO USE THE HYPNOTIC VOICE? Here are some guesses, but since I do not use it, these are speculations. Before suggesting possible reasons, the bigger ask is for you to self-reflect if you use the hypnotic voice yourself. Why? Some of the whys include the following: Mimicking someone you’ve heard using it so you think this is the ways it is done. Wanting to sell something – yourself, an idea, an offering – and thinking this is the best way to do it. You want to be perceived as wise – a guru, a holy person, a mystic, a spiritually advanced human – and think this is how they talk. You’ve been coached to speak this way. MORE REASONS TO NOT USE THE “HYPNOTIC VOICE” Besides the manipulative aspects of using the “hypnotic voice,” most “hypnotic voices” sound fake, so the person using it also feels fake. As an Enneagram teacher, sounding fake or inauthentic is never a winning position. We are, I hope, trying to help people become more real, not more fake. Even if you are adept at the “hypnotic voice”, and few people are, it is also a form of “spiritual bypass.” You can convince yourself, even self-hypnotize, that you are more developed or evolved than you actually are. And you can hypnotize others into thinking they are somehow more transformed than they are.

LAST DAY TO REGISTER! The real power of the Enneagram is the ability to put it into action, leading to insights and growth. This is especially true for the subtypes. Often, when learning about the Enneagram subtypes, the process becomes an intellectual exercise. So many names. So many details. If it remains simply as gathered knowledge the real strength of the system remains untapped. TYPE, TEACH, TRANSFORM THROUGH THE 27 ENNEAGRAM SUBTYPES provides the information, but it goes well beyond names and details. You receive a wealth of practical applications for you and your clients which can produce dramatic results. Even if you feel you know everything about subtypes, we promise this program has exercises and applications that are unique, new, and exciting. In this 4-session Train-the-Trainer program with Ginger Lapid-Bogda PhD you will: ? Augment your subtype knowledge ? Increase your subtype application skills ? Practice, practice, practice ?

THE ART OF TYPING In this book, I examine differentiating questions between types, Ego-structure, Centers of Intelligence, wings and arrows, subtypes, and triads. This best-selling book also has delightful graphics demonstrating visually two different types approaching the same real world situation in their own unique way. My hope is that people teaching the Enneagram – whether it’s in their organization, their coaching or consulting practice, or even with family and friends – can find the typing process a little easier (and more fun) with this book as a resource. ~ https://amzn.to/2GOlIkd

Maya Angelou "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light." Aristotle "Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Anne Lamott "Choose to be optimistic. It feels better."
