: I'm wondering about the theories of some enneagram teachers about our sense of self
: being located in different places. As a Five, I'm definitely in my head (behind my
: eyes.) On the other hand other people reportedly locate themselves in the heart or gut
: centres. Eg Eights in the centre of the body.
: Confirmation or falsification? Please cite testimony not theory.
: If true, it would help with, say, Five-Nine discrimination.

Much of these are metaphorical, not actual localizations.
In NLP you learn that you are various parts which can locate in different parts of your body and the surrounding areas.
In your case your enneatype indentity is located behind your eyes.
