Enneagram Centers of Intelligence: How You Filter the World
What’s your real superpower—your body, your heart, or your head?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the Enneagram’s 3 Centers of Intelligence—and how each one shapes the way you move through the world.
Certified holistic coach Sandy Swanson shares how these centers—Body, Heart, and Head—act like filters for how we take in information, respond to life, and connect with others.
You’ll learn:
- What these 3 centers actually are (beyond the buzzwords)
- How your dominant center drives your reactions and decisions
- The “big emotions” tied to each center: anger, shame, and fear
- Why understanding your center can help you stop overthinking, communicate better, and feel more grounded.
You’ll also hear how each Enneagram type (1–9) connects to the centers—and why so many people mistype themselves in today’s head-centric world.
Whether you’re new to the Enneagram or deep in your type journey, this is a foundational tool that’ll change how you see yourself—and everyone else.
