Dr.
Lennon uses a unique alternative Personal Assessment, tool. The Enneagram
is a values based model for discerning and awakening to ones
“Root
Motivational Bias” style. This RMB style or "Enneagram
Type" (one of nine ways of being), represent a mix of physical, mental
and emotional energy that has a strong unconscious influence on
the psyche, and can distort how we experience, see and relate to
ourselves, others, and the world.
Dr. Lennon teaches this powerful transformational system as a tool for discerning and awakening to ones "Higher Nature" or to the individuals “True
Self”.
The system is rooted in a brain theory that was developed
independent of the Enneagram. The three Centers of the Enneagram model are supported by an understanding
of the
Triune Brain Theory developed by Dr. Paul MacLean, M.D. at the National
Institutes of Health in Washington, DC.
