"Insomniac Risk , Fives wonder, Is it safe to come out?"

The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram: Nine Faces of the Soul
by Sandra Maitri

Sandra Maitri's "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram" is, without doubt, the most insightful and meaningful book on the nine temperaments, but caution potential readers that this is not a "beach read" and is best suited as reading for those who are seriously ready to take a deeper look at their own psycho-spiritual essence and soul. This is not a pop-psychology "personality typing" book, but rather a valuable guide for people on their journey of self-discovery, transformation and self-realization.

The book DOES touch on the Nine Temperaments of the enneagram in the personality type" context most people know it, and it covers the psychological aspects of the different types. The majority of "The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram" is dedicated to a thorough discussion of each of the nine temperaments, examining the way each has "lost touch" with its essence or "Holy Idea;" describing the psychological and environmental circumstances for these losses, and then offering guidance on how to recover the part of the self that has been lost.

The term "sprituality" by no means makes this a "religious" book. Instead, it is a book about understanding and healing our souls, regardless of religious orientation.

The study of the Nine Temperaments is called the Enneagram and is described in the free ebook listed above. The Enneagram types (Temperaments) are not made up of lists of character traits, but are founded in a person's core values. Each Temperament represents what that person considers something very important to their life such as power, security, harmony, knowledge, fulfillment, i.e.

Your Temperament enables you to make a valuable contributions to your life; but it also causes you to neglect other values, creating a psychological ‘blind spot” for you.

This is why, if you:

Anyone Is At Risk Of Becoming An Insomniac   
Philip Tsang

Persistent sleeplessness is exhausting for an insomniac. They may experience muscle aches, stiffness, slurred speech, blurred vision, poor concentration, lack of energy and irritability. They may also feel glum, frustrated and easily stressed. Getting up in the mornings and facing the day can be difficult.

Lack of sleep can take its toll on an insomniac's appearance. They may look haggard, with dark circles under the eyes and deep lines on their face. Sleep deprivation can really knock a person's confidence. Fully aware of how they look, an insomniac will try and avoid making eye contact with people and being in the spotlight.

Because the effects of insomnia often make anxiety disorders worse, an insomniac will experience heightened panic, fast breathing, excessive worry and apprehension. In such situations it can feel unbearable and too powerful to deal with for the sufferer.

Depression and anxiety disorders are generally the result of negative life experiences that have made us fear certain situations and unable to cope. They affect millions of people worldwide. But fortunately there are ways to deal with such disorders. Self-help is by far the most effective way at tackling anxiety disorders. Talk to your doctor or therapist about self-help and what it can do for you.

Such self-help includes techniques such as hypnotherapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Other complimentary therapies that require a specialist, medical practitioner or therapist include acupuncture, reflexology and homeopathy.

In many cases disorders such as depression, phobia and anxiety are the cause for sleepless nights. An insomniac may just find by tackling their disorder that their sleep improves or resumes as normal.
