9 Energies - What is it?

There are 9 Active Energy Centers in the human body.  One of which is most-active from birth. We call this your Active Energy or Superpower. 

Your Active Energy center affects how you move, how you interact with people and how you use/interact with spiritual energy.  We liken it to there being the 5 physical senses (sight, touch, taste etc.) and 9 spiritual senses, one of which is your “sixth sense” or Active Energy.  

Just as if you were unable to see, not experiencing the other 8 Active Energies means there are 8 ways of being in the world of which you have no experience. Eight of 9 people experience the world very differently than you.  You can learn to consciously activate the other 8 Active Energies adding new "senses" to your perceptions.

Your face wears a particular expression when your Energy Center is activated, your body is naturally really strong in the Activation Posture of your Active Energy and isn’t strong at all in the Activation Posture of the other 8, until it is trained to activate that Energy, upon which it can be strong in that posture too.

Six of the 9 Active Centers are co-located with the chakras and 3 Active Centers are around the Heart chakra - at the center and the top of the sternum and on the back between the shoulder blades.

Finding your Active Energy is a physical process. It is completely reproducible and consistent.  9 Energies began gifting the knowledge at Burning Man in 2012, and in addition to offering free events here in Novato,  now tour various transformational festivals with our 9 Energies camp (Digital Renaissance Fair, Burning Man Decompression Events, and Lucidity Festival to name a few) freely giving our time and knowledge. Every Friday and Wednesday evening 9 Energies hosts a free workshop for people to find their Active Energy and learn to activate the other 8.

We believe the knowledge of the 9 was known by the Egyptians and their 9 Neters, the Vadic gurus, the Norwegian gods, the Chinese (the Tao Ching is 9 x 9 verses) and the Japanese. But the knowledge was suppressed or lost over 2,200 years ago.

While 9 Energies is one organization, the initial (re) discovery was made by Alan Sheets and Barbara Tovey of New Equations 19 years ago. Susan Fisher, of 9 Energies trained with New Equations for 10 years.

You might compare the physical process of discovering one’s Active Energy to the process of determining one’s Enneatype in the Enneagram. While the two disciplines probably come from the same root knowledge, the Enneagram is based on a questionnaire developed from knowing the stereotypical behaviors of people of certain Enneatypes.  It is very likely that there is close relationship between the Enneatype and the Active Energy, but one’s Active Energy is based on what your body knows and does, not what your mind thinks or believes.
