Reclaiming Your Power from Your Undefined Centers
In Human Design, the “Not-Self” is where you are living against your Design. The Not-Self expresses itself through the mind - in essence, it’s where we’ve given our Authority back to our minds. Particularly for Generators, the mind should never be our Authority - we have the Sacral (and if you have Emotional Authority, your emotions) to help us make decisions.
Our most vulnerable place in our energy is our Undefined Centers. Because we are not consistently emitting energy from these centers, we are open to conditioning and overall instability. Thankfully, if we are aware of the common fears/messages that can come from these centers and make their way to be filtered through our minds, we can make sure not to make decisions based on these areas of openness!
UNDEFINED AND OPEN CENTERS
Your Undefined centers are the centers that are white on your chart. Your completely open centers are your undefined centers that have no activated gates coming out of them. These are going to be even more susceptible to conditioning.
Using my chart as an example you can see that I have…
3 Undefined centers:
Solar Plexus
Heart
Throat
2 completely open centers:
Solar Plexus
Heart
These are the centers I will need to be the most aware of.

THE CENTERS AND THEIR NOT-SELF MESSAGES

AWARENESS IS EVERYTHING
Awareness the key to making sure that these not-self themes of your undefined centers don’t hijack your Authority. It’s possible that there are some beliefs from these undefined centers that you’ve held as part of you for your whole life. If you’re aware of them, you can release them! In general, if you are following your Authority, you will feel a sense of flow and satisfaction in your life, even when you come across challenges. If your undefined centers are getting to your head, your thoughts won’t feel good. If this happens, make sure to take a deep breath and come back into your body. This will allow your Authority to speak loud and clear.
For me, making sure that I know that I am worthy of everything I receive, developing a healthy relationship with confrontation, and letting my creations emerge naturally have been life-changing. These are things I am aware of every day, so that my mind doesn’t get ahold of the insecurities of my undefined centers and start directing me from the mind!
Love,
