Understanding Your Circuitry: The G Center

THE G CENTER: an identity center that governs direction, passion, meaning, and purpose. Physiologically it rules the liver. 

If you have this center DEFINED the diamond in the middle of the bodygraph will be colored in yellow; if UNDEFINED, it will be white, with black or red lines (gates) coming off of it. If it is completely OPEN, it will be white with zero gates coming off of it. 

​

Characteristics of the Defined G Center: 

• Strong sense of who you are or a desire to have a clear sense of self and direction
  
• Strong connection to purpose in life or desire to have a clearly laid out path
  
• Energetically incorrect for you to be influenced by what others around you are doing
  
• The way in which this energy expresses through you will depend the CHANNELS and GATES defined in your chart: ​
  

Channels:

• The Alpha, 7-31:
  • This is the energy of the army leader; the ability to harness the strengths of the whole team to get to the desired outcome. This is leadership energy, but rather than being self-selected, others must choose you as the leader first, and all must be seen as equal. You can tune into the strengths of others and communicate how to best leverage them.
• Inspiration, 1-8:
  • You are able to take the things you love to do in order to express yourself and share them with others in a way that makes them want to participate, too! Part of the purpose of creative self expression for you is to empower and inspire others. 
• The Prodigal, 13-33:
  • This is the energy of universalizing and sharing individual stories and life lessons that have been share with you, so that we all might learn and grow without needing to go through it personally.
• Initiation, 51-25:
  • This is the energy of desire to be a part of something in its beginning stages and a willingness to undergo initiation. We may not even have a full picture of what we are joining, just a heartfelt desire to jump in. You can also bring out the competitive side in others who have this channel open; they will race you to get there first. 
• Discovery, 29-46:
  • This channel brings the energy of going to the deepest depths in order to reach the highest self. It is a wellspring of energy that supports synchronicities unfolding in your life. This is a channel of commitment and perseverance. Make sure to listen to your strategy and authority when making commitments, as once you say “yes” you will see it through to the finish, and it is only in seeing it completely through that you will discover whether it was worthy of your time and energy.
• Beat, 14-2: 
  • This is the energy of power skills and the ability to be successful on the material plane and also, to assist others in stepping into their greatness just by being in your energy! It is ruled by the gut response though and isn’t useful on a mind level. In order to know what is aligned for you, wait for opportunities to respond and choose what lights you up. It can feel like chugging along in one direction for a while and then a pause, a new creative download, and a subsequent new direction. 
• Rhythm, 5-15:
  • This is the energy of attunement to natural rhythms; coming back to your natural essence, to the you that is separate from all of the distractions of the modern world. People with this channel tend to have a deep affinity for animals and nature. Usually, rhythms and routines will allow you to feel grounded and secure. You may feel at home working with animals, plants, herbs, and may feel called to environmentalism. 
• Awakening, 10-20:
  • This is the vocalized energy of self-love and transformation in the world. You are meant to share your message of self-love and self-empowerment, but it must be in response to your external environment. If you initiate the conversation without responding to something external, it may be ignored or misunderstood.
• Perfected Form, 10-57:
  • This is the energy of being incredibly intune with your environment and being able to respond accordingly. This is a deeply ingrained awareness originally meant for survival purposes. Today this gift can be used to bring subtle changes to environments to create the desired mood or effect. 
• Exploration, 34-10:
  • This energy is magnetized by responding to life in order to cultivate power in its ultimate form. You are your most powerful when you are simply responding to life. You don’t have to explain or prove your power; simply respond to life and your power will show.  ​

Gates:

• Self in Interaction, 7: this is the energy of leadership toward a cause that is greater than the individual. It is a willingness to step up when it is asked of you, not forcing it. 
  
• Self-Expression, 1: this is the desire internally to express yourself creatively. It is the desire to make a difference in the world, and will push you until you feel pulled to act. It must wait for the right timing to know how to contribute. 
  
• The Listener, 13: you have a natural way of disarming people so they feel safe to share their stories with you. You are a great listener and you hold their stories close, sharing only in a way that serves the collective learning.
  
• Love of Spirit, 25: the is the energy of pure love. It is an energy of existing in love and simply from your existing, you spread it with others. It doesn’t need to be acted upon. 
  
• Love of the Body, 46: this is a gate of EMBODIMENT. A recognizing that the body is a sacred vessel and needs to be treated as such. People with this gate tend to carry themselves with grace and beauty; many yogis and dancers have this gate! This is soul expression through the body. There can be a tendency to strive for physical perfection here; in its highest expression there is unconditional love and acceptance of the body.
  
• Keeper of Keys, 2: this is the opposite energy of gate 1. It takes the pushing energy to create and says “ok, let’s create a logical plan to implement this creative vision in a way that supports all involved.” There can be a tendency to spend resources recklessly, but in its highest expression it manages resources well. 
  
• Extremes, 15: this is a willingness to go to the extremes to find a rhythm or flow in life, which may be constantly changing. There is also a deep connection to humanity here and a willingness to go extremes for the betterment of humanity. 
  
• Love of Self, 10: this is the energy of recognizing and living from your own unconditional love and acceptance and as a result of your example, influencing and empowering others to do so, too. ​
  

Characteristics of the Undefined G Center:

• A more fluid sense of self or identity  
  
• An ability to shift and mold identity to meet the needs of the current situation 
  
• Less focus on purpose and direction in life; driven by other life aspects
  

As you can see, there is A LOT of information from any one energy center, and even any one gate in the bodygraph! Let the information sink in slowly, and always come back to following your strategy and authority when it feels overwhelming!
