They appreciate order, plans and rules and like the comfort and predictability of laws and guidelines. \xa0But Sixes also have a shadow side.\xa0 Their passion is fear, which is often experienced as anxiety.\xa0 Anxiety is a vague, free-floating sense of apprehension that arises in response to an unknown or potential threat that may never materialize.\xa0 So, how do Sixes achieve spiritual growth?
