Synopsis

Headstart For Happiness weaves together the Enneagram System of Personality with Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan to create a guide book for deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you. This guide book leads you through your personality and the personalities of those around you, focusing on the unique strengths and gifts each type has to offer the world. Providing you with tools for compassion, this book offers a path to a more harmonious, peaceful world. If you believe most conflict in the world is based on misunderstandings, this book is for you. Headstart For Happiness includes: 1. An Enneagram type overview for each of the nine distinct personality types. 2. The unique gifts each type offers to the world. 3. Tools for compassion if you have someone of the type in your life (what you NEED to know). 4. The internal experience of each type as reported directly by people of the type. 5. Next steps towards happiness. 6. A Kundalini Yoga kriya and meditation mapped to each Enneagram type. The physical practice of Kundalini Yoga accelerates the growth path for each Enneagram type. Rooted in the narrative tradition, this guide draws on over 100 panel interviews in which people of each Enneagram type describe their experience as their specific type. Based on the idea that nothing is more powerful than someone talking about their direct, personal experience, this guide book leverages the testimonials of hundreds of people. Mapping that direct experience to Kundalini Yoga kriyas and meditations to address the sensitive issue of each type, this manual offers a path towards happiness. Highly accessible, Headstart for Happiness can be used by absolute beginners to advanced practitioners alike. No prior knowledge of either system is required. Each Kundalini Yoga kriya and meditation includes full instructions and can be practiced by people of all physical conditions and abilities. If you can breathe, you can do this practice.

About this title

About the Author

Lynn Roulo is an American Kundalini Yoga and Enneagram instructor living in Athens, Greece. She teaches a unique combination of the two systems, combining the physical benefits of Kundalini Yoga with the psychological growth tools of the Enneagram. She received her Kundalini Yoga teaching certification from the Guru Ram Das Ashram in San Francisco. In February of 2012, she relocated to Athens, Greece and currently teaches throughout Europe and the United States. Her study of the Enneagram System of Personality began in 1995. She is certified as an Enneagram Professional Trainer (EPTP program) and her training includes the Enneagram Intensive, Foundations of Spiritual Method, Subtypes, and the Enneagram Typing Process. While living in San Francisco, California, she participated in numerous narrative tradition panels with facilitators including Helen Palmer and Peter O Hanrahan. She says about Kundalini Yoga: I like Kundalini Yoga because everyone can do it. I usually refer to it as the yoga for people who think they cannot do yoga. If you can breath, you can do this practice. She says about the Enneagram: I think of it as a tool for compassion. When you start to understand yourself and your own behavior, you can start to break the patterns that do not serve you and choose you actions instead of just acting out your habit. And when you begin to understand what is going on in other minds of other people, all that crazy behavior does not seem so crazy.
