Passions – The Enneagram’s nine type-specific emotional states of a heart disconnected from its True Self. The Passions emerge as the heart indulges the Basic Fear that it will never return to its essence and therefore seeks out coping mechanisms that ultimately compound each type’s state of emotional imbalance. The Passions are the inverse of the Enneagram’s Virtues, which are the emotional states of a centered heart at rest in the True Self.
