As a reader of Natural Nutmeg, you are likely engaged in a personal development journey, seeking out different ways to evolve into your best self. Like you, I’ve explored a variety of resources, including yoga, oracle cards, biotuning, Reiki, essential oils, past life readings, crystals, and astrology. Each practice or experience brought me a piece of my puzzle, but what was most profound for me was Human Design – so much so that I became credentialed to bring it to others.
You have one main purpose in your life: to be you. Not a segment of you, or a masked you, but the truest, authentic self. Human Design helps you find your way there by uncovering your energetic blueprint.
Your blueprint tells you how you’re meant to be, where your strengths lie, your power, and your conditioning. It is this conditioning that takes us away from our perfection from birth.
The Centers of Human Design
There are nine centers in the Human Design chart. Some are defined, while others are undefined, or open. Each of us has a different configuration.
The undefined centers are prone to conditioning — the messages we receive beginning in childhood that create patterns, beliefs, and stories that disconnect us from our authentic being. Every one of us is influenced by conditioning – it’s simply a part of life. It is the undefined centers that are sensitive to outside stimulation, that absorb and amplify energy, leading to potential distortion.
- The Head Center is where we receive our inspiration, where we have pressure to figure things out, to find answers. This can lead to worrying, agonizing self-doubt, and an endless quest for more information.
- The Ajna Center is a processing hub for all that inspiration. When undefined, it exemplifies an open and flexible mind. Conditioning can lead to obsessing about problems, feeling desperate, or leaning too heavily on others
for answers. - The Throat Center’s primary function is to verbalize and manifest thoughts and ideas. When undefined, we may not trust our voice because it is inconsistent in how we use it. Conditioning can lead to being fearful of expressing yourself, oversharing, exaggerating, or even blurting things out at inappropriate times.
- The Identity Center is where we hold our sense of self and feelings of lovability. A conditioned undefined center may leave you not knowing who you are and struggling to find your place, so you people-please.
- The Will Center is where we hold our willpower and self-worth. A conditioned undefined center may result in you becoming an overachiever, always trying to prove your worth, and seeking validation from outside yourself.
- The Sacral Center is the energy powerhouse in the chart. When undefined, your energy is not sustainable, and you require periods of rest. Conditioning may lead to not knowing when enough is enough, being submissive, over-giving, and not knowing how to say no.
- The Splenic Center is the center of instinct. When undefined, you may be prone to hoarding, hanging onto people and things long past their usefulness or healthiness. When conditioned, you may tolerate bad relationships, be risk-averse, and spend time focused on what’s lacking.
- The Solar Plexus Center holds our emotional wisdom. When undefined, you may be vulnerable to others’ moods and emotions, leading you to do whatever it takes to avoid confrontation. When conditioned, it can mean being hypervigilant, over-responsible, or even emotionally out of control.
- The Root Center is a pressure center for action. When undefined, stress is difficult, as is timing. When conditioned, you may overdo things, push yourself to get everything done no matter the cost, and never know when to stop.
When I work with you, we explore these centers and potential conditioning. Whether during individual sessions or in my Practical Human Design classes, you gain awareness and understanding that help you evolve along your personal development journey. Because, at the end of it all, your purpose is to be you, the full, complete, perfect you that you were born to be. I invite you to explore your Human Design with me. I’d love to guide you back to how you are meant to be.
