Welcome to Everyday Simple Somatics! In this episode, Dr. Christine Baker and guest expert Meagan Connley explore the somatic patterns of Enneagram Type 4 - The Individualist, often called "the most complex type." If you're a Type 4 or identify with feeling different, misunderstood, or drawn to deeper emotions, this episode will help you understand how these patterns show up in your body and offer practices for reconnecting with wholeness, joy, and belonging. 🎯 **What You'll Learn:** • The core fears and desires driving Type 4 behavior • How introjection and freeze response manifest somatically • Physical patterns: swinging between expressiveness and withdrawal, protecting the heart, living in stories about feelings • Stress signals when Type 4s move toward Type 2 (people-pleasing, neediness) • Signs of growth and the concept of "Holy Origin" • Why Type 4s effort for beauty and depth they already possess • A guided somatic practice for exploring envy and turning toward lightness 💫 **About Our Guest:** Meagan Connley is an integrative somatic practitioner and founder of Presence with Love, with extensive training in the somatic enneagram, somatic experiencing, yin yoga, and breathwork.
