The Human Design Centres Series
In the Human Design system, your energy centres are the cornerstone of your chart, influencing how you process energy, interact with the world, and make decisions. Understanding these centres is key to unlocking your potential, tapping into your unique wisdom, and aligning with your purpose.
The Centres Series explores how each energy centre in your Human Design chart operates, from the defined centres’ consistency to the profound wisdom housed in undefined centres. Whether you’re a Generator, Manifestor, Projector, Reflector, or Manifesting Generator, this guide will help you work with your centres for empowerment, clarity, and transformation.
The Role of Energy Centres in Human Design
Energy centres in Human Design resemble chakras and represent specific themes, such as identity, willpower, and emotions. The definition of these centres—whether defined (colored) or undefined (white)—determines how you consistently experience or sample energy:
- Defined Centres: Provide consistent access to energy but can have empowered or disempowered expressions.
- Undefined Centres: Sample and amplify energy from others, offering wisdom but prone to conditioning.
Your defined and undefined centres shape your auric field and play a central role in how you attract opportunities, relationships, and success.
Understanding Undefined Centres: Portals of Wisdom
Undefined centres are often misunderstood as “weak spots” due to their susceptibility to external influences. However, these centres are portals of wisdom, allowing you to discern what serves you and release what doesn’t. Shari emphasizes the importance of approaching undefined centres with an empowering perspective:
- They are not flaws: They offer a dynamic understanding of energy and experiences.
- They teach discernment: You’re designed to sample energy, not absorb it permanently.
- Conditioning can occur: Awareness helps you shed patterns that no longer serve you.
For instance, an undefined root centre might create pressure to act, but its wisdom lies in teaching trust in divine timing and the value of rest.
The Danger of Saying “Yes” When You Mean “No”
One of the most significant challenges people face is saying “yes” out of alignment. This creates energetic clutter, reduces your capacity to receive, and sends mixed signals to the universe. Shari explains how this manifests in specific centres:
- Root Centre: Pressure to act leads to overcommitment.
- Sacral Centre: Responding to nonaligned opportunities drains your energy.
- Ego Centre: Desire to prove worth results in over-promising.
- Solar Plexus Centre: Avoiding emotional discomfort leads to agreeing when you shouldn’t.
Learning to recognize these patterns and align with your true “yes” restores balance and magnetism.
Practical Steps for Empowerment
- Know Your Chart: Identify which centres are defined or undefined.
- Embrace Your Undefined Centres: Reframe them as sources of wisdom, not liabilities.
- Tune Into Alignment: Use your strategy and authority to discern when to say yes or no.
- Release Conditioning: Decondition by recognizing external influences that don’t align with your truth.
For instance, a defined root centre allows you to act in bursts of aligned energy, while an undefined root centre encourages trusting natural cycles.
Realigning with Your Sovereignty
The journey with your centres is about reclaiming sovereignty over your energy. Shari emphasizes that your chart is perfect as it is—your undefined centres add depth and richness to your life. By peeling back layers of conditioning, you reveal the “pearl of truth” within each centre, amplifying your alignment and magnetism.
