Episode 39. The human design head center. What it is and how it makes you prone to narcissism.

My head center is white. Does that mean? I have no inspiration. This episode is first of nine episodes examining each human design center and explains how it can make someone more prone to narcissism. How do emotionally evolve and break the cycles of the narcissistic relationship trap?

The head center. Pulling from my book, the last chapter, chapter 12 and impact, and the narcissist. It states the head center. It's all about inspiration. It is the seed of thought. It is where you receive intuitive thoughts. Inspiration and receive messages from source.

Anxiety typically comes from our negative narratives and our negative self-talk, which all stems from the head. So the next time. You feel anxious? Say this to release the anxiety.

May I be released from the patterns that hold me anxious. I clearly see what is mine? And what is not. I released the burdens.

I no longer need to carry.

I now fully see all the ways I am not trusting my path. . I exhale, worry. And invite deep trust to rain down onto me. I call all my energy back to me. I reclaim my inner power. I shield and protect myself, but the highest point of light. Anything connected to me now. Receives a positive charge.

It is done.

Is this from Instagram account awaken with SoFi.

The head center. Is the very top center on your chart figure. Wondering, what are we talking about? The very top triangle is the head center.

It is associated with the crown chakra. All the centers are connected to a certain shock rack, but there are nine centers versus the seven main. Chakras in the shocker system. So there's two additional in the human design chart.

And it may be concerning to you that you have a white head center, because that means that it is open or undefined. But there is no need to be concerned. And when it is colored any yellow, doesn't matter the color, but yellow is the main color that the original raw. Hu and Jovian archive selected.

Then yes, your head is defined. So when it is defined, we'll start there. This means that you receive consistent inspirational. Knowledge. And you receive inspiration and messages consistently. And these people are inspirational forces on the planet.

And when you have the two different types of head centers in the same room. You can actually see and experience maybe like jinx, which some people may call telepathy where all the defined head center needs to do is think it. And the open amplified head center. Then AMPA picks it up, receives it, amplifies it and speaks it and says, Hey, we should have pizza tonight.

Or something like that. So it can be really great. It can be a positive thing. But when the narrative or the thoughts. Our negative, then you are amplifying negative. So that becomes a vulnerable spot and a problem.

Defined head center has a consistent source of inspiration. They're always asking questions and may feel that something is wrong. If they don't have the answer. Inspiration is a reflective process and there really is no answer to an inspiration. It has to go through the whole scientific process. And push down through to the Asana center.

So often people with defined head centers don't realize that they are questioning things. , you may even find that you seem to have a permanent quizzical look on your face. You're always pondering something.

So with all those inspiration, you may feel like you need to get all of it done, especially if you have an open root center. So it was important to note that all the inspiration you're receiving consistently, it may not always be for you. It may be that you share it with someone else who needs to hear it.

And allow them to amplify it.

So always a thought and question that runs through my mind as defined head center is. That's a really interesting thought. I wonder if, and then pause and think if this thought or inspiration is for me. Or if it's for somebody else that's in my aura that I've been helping.

Now the tricky part with this head, inspiration is the. Desire. To spew out all your ideas. So the best practice I've found is to ask the person, if they're ready to receive this inspiration or input. And so I always ask them, you know, I have an idea or I have some input. Can I share it with you? And then receive that ability to respond with them. Always using my strategy as a generator. If you're a projector, it works the same. Cause it'd be invited in to give your input.

And asking a lot of questions also is important to see. How they're coming about. In you being able to share with them this inspiration or idea that you have. Because sometimes we may just give somebody some whatever inspiration we have, cause we want to relieve the pressure, but they're not ready for it. They get really defensive. They feel like you're always telling them what to do or you're over criticizing.

And so you need to be able to have the other person be ready for it. Can we get, not all of us are ready for it in our healing journey.

And, or just in work and projects and communicating with other relationships. So the affirmation for the head center, I will say for the end, I'll share both. The affirmations. At the end after we go through the vulnerability. To narcissism.

Now with this open head center.

If you have an open head center, this means that you have an inconsistent way to receive inspiration. You may receive inspiration through sound, through nature, through. Music through amplifying someone else's thoughts. , this is just part of your amplifying any center that is white amplifies the energy, just like a radio station is the defined center. And the radio in your house is the receiver is the white center.

So, this is where we can be vulnerable to narcissism is having the open and the defined, I would say, can be vulnerable to narcissistic traits. In honoring the other person's. Journey where they're at. And it's very easy to feel overwhelmed as an open head center.

Because you re you're amplifying so many thoughts. And ideas, especially when you go out into a public space where there's lots of people. Um, Yeah, you do feel inspired all the time because you're receiving it from all different places. You're amplifying it and there's feels like this. Pressure to act upon this inspiration.

So it's important to take a look, take a step back. Maybe it isn't yours to act on. Maybe you're just amplifying what someone else is thinking. So, I mean, it's a great. Person to be a sounding board for, with someone else. Cause you can really think through things with them on an active and energetic basis.

But keep in mind, it's not all for you. And you may feel when you get home from an outing, you're just exhausted. You're overwhelmed and your brain is numb. It is because you've been receiving an amplifying too much. And you have not put up your shield to protect yourself from absorbing like a sponge.

I think in human design, every single center we have that is white. We need to make a conscious intention before we go out. To shield them up. You know, lock the door, put up the screen. And not absorb everything like a sponge.

Which of course applies. To , interacting with a toxic narcissist. , you may even hear people say, like, you're not decisive. You just pick one, you know, stick with it. You're so flaky. This is, these are all things that. I don't know, like the human being other people don't like, and maybe you don't like about yourself, but just know that this is part of the process of starting to become aware, because you're just picking up all the different ideas. And you're trying a little bit here, and especially if you're a manifesting generator, you have the energy to try all of it.

And see what you like. And I think there's nothing wrong with trying things to see if you like it. Without having to fully commit and be like a lifelong monogamous, you know, crafter. That's something that you just want to dabble in.

Not only will someone with an open head center have the ability to take in inspiration of the world. And amplify it. But they will also take in all the questions of the world. And amplify those two and that can be very daunting. And exhausting. And overwhelming.

We're going to dive deeper into the vulnerability, to narcissism in this head center right after this commercial break. So the thing you really need to focus in on, in guarding yourself from the vulnerabilities of the world's overwhelm, as well as the narcissist is to apply your strategy. Discernment and your inner authority, which is your intuition. So let's go over the vulnerability to narcissism from the head center.

This can be very dangerous. If you are around a very hateful. Toxic negative thinking person, because you will start to amplify those thoughts. And either think them of another person or think them of yourself, depending on where this is generated and. As we've talked about so many times on the podcast, narcissists have a very low self-esteem they're insecure and they have trauma.

The whole reason that they're even being such assholes is because they're have their guard up. And they don't want to be vulnerable. They cannot be vulnerable and they can't, they don't have a growth mindset. So when you're around that very toxic mindset and you're amplifying it, you start to kind of take it on as your own, you sponge it in and you start like, just like we always say, you start to feel like the crazy one.

You start to question, am I the narcissist? Because first of all, they're already doing mind tricks. Even on the defined head centers, I'm a defined head center and my mind was completely twisted up. Before and open, you're just more vulnerable to it. Even more like you actually think the thoughts and amplify those thoughts that they're thinking.

Which is just even more dangerous to keep you in that confused state.

Like I said, it's, it's tricky too. Say just one thing is vulnerable to narcissism when this. The tactics and manipulation, they do. I have effect on all the types have effect in most, all the centers, but especially on the solar plexus, I've seen a common theme, the will center. And the head center.

And because of there, that's the way they manipulate, no matter what kind of had center you are, if you're an open center or a defined, which I can clearly state that I. I'm a defined head center and I was manipulated by a narcissist. It's all about developing discernment. Discernment in your mind and connection to divine source. The true source.

Because you're going to get your truth from within yourself within your inner authority and your, your intuition. Now there actually are different types of inner authorities in your human design. You can take a look. Some most people are going to have the emotional authority where you need to feel through your emotional cycle to know if what that narcissist just said to you or what you're thinking.

Is true. We need to feel it. That means you need to really be in tuned with your emotions, which can be a scary thing, but it's important. So taking time. Out in nature, taking time to feel and journal your emotional cycle. And then also, Spending some time in quiet time meditation. It's important for all of us, but that certainly is important for the emotional cause you need to feel through and take your time through the whole cycle.

And then with the sake role, which is the pure authority, as you need to ask yourself yes or no questions, and you can only do this in the quiet without amplifying anyone's agenda. Right. So again, out in nature, quiet time, meditation time, ask yourself those. Yes or no question. So that goes back to, this is the center connected to source the crown chakra.

If it's blocked, if it's muddled up, if it's all twisted because the narcissist has. , messed up the wires in your brain.

Then you won't be able to think straight. So you have to connect to the higher inspiration and divine source. Do you receive your clear answers that you need? So emotional would be things feeling through the process. Sacral pure. Is asking yes or no questions feeling your gut if it drops or if it feels good.

And. , the spleen authority knows right away.

And then there's a few others called self-reflected and reflected. And those are, you have to talk it out with the therapist. If you're dealing with a narcissist, you need to talk it out with a therapist. , other topics you can talk out with your friends, family members.

And then hearing that feedback. Can bring you a lot of clarity. Uh, to what is true, what is right? What is directly from source? And what is from the narcissist.

So that's number one. Tuning into your intuition. And number two is your strategy. This is where it's really important to memorize your strategy as your type. I'll go through them again. If you're new to this, you're new here to the podcast, we just finished a series about the different types and the two of them in.

, toxic interactions with each other. , so you can go back to every Tuesday and listen to those. , but I'll just go through them one more time. So the generator manifesting generator. You need to wait to respond. So being who you are doing, what you love. And then responding to things is where your energy flows the best.

So when it comes to. , inspiration source. You know, like, oh, let's do a project then that's where you start to kind of experiment. And see if you enjoy it first, do what you love to do. And then it's kind of like AB testing in business, right? It's like, Okay, I'm doing this. Let's test it and see if people like what I've made and then you kind of get to wait to respond to people, asking you for more or being silent. And then you're like, okay, let's try something else. So it's very much this responsive type of interaction in conversation.

And with people seeing what you're doing and maybe requesting more or requesting something different. Just like why I'm starting to talk more about human design in this podcast. There have been specific people who say, oh, you know, human design. Can you share about that? And so I am responding and I'm sharing about it.

And it seems like you're all really loving it because you're assigning up to the community and getting your free human design chart read by me. And so if you haven't yet definitely . Sign up for free into our community and I will. Pull your chart and gave you more insight about yourself.

Moving on to. The manifestor. The manifestors strategy. Is to inform then initiate. The projector strategy is to wait to be invited. They reflectors strategy is to wait 28 days as a pure lunar body.

All of the centers on the reflector. By the way, which are very rare. , are white. They are undefined. They are our Canary in the coal mines. They tell us what feels good, where for the collective, they really are a collective being.

Yeah. So there's where we're vulnerable in the head center. There's really no matter. If you're open or you're defined.

You can absolutely be manipulated and your brain can be twisted around by the narcissist. So number one is education. Number two is awareness. Number three is listen and evaluate what is true from source because this is a source connected center. Through your inner authority. And then number four is then act upon your strategy.

Let me think of a scenario that can kind of really bring it down to earth. I'm a generator. My strategy is to wait to respond. , my say, girl kept telling me this is wrong. This is wrong. So I started to really speak out. Verbally. And he wasn't able to control me verb verbally anymore. And when I did so.

He hit me and Nick got physical. So I think right there is a way to respond as a generator, right? You. I felt in my sacral. Uh, this does not feel good. And I told him. And then he decided to try and control me physically. And then in that I was able to respond and say, no, no more. This is not healthy.

And I then responded into finding a place to move out so we could go to therapy counseling together, and then just every single move was a response, you know? My roommate came in. I met with her. We liked each other and we found a place. We got in, moved out. And then in the final straw was receiving that phone call, but he had tried to cheat on me with my sister.

And that was my ultimate place as a generator to respond and say, well, yes, I'm not going to try therapy then. Right. That's your way to respond is. Especially with the narcissist. Not responding by not trying to help them any further, not trying to save the dead relationship that is there already.

No need to resuscitate. Someone who has long gone. Which was our relationship. But I know as empaths so deeply. Loving and caring and we try and we want to do the re I mean, I was always wanting to do the right thing because we were married. I was like, oh, we, we have to go to counseling before we divorce. Right. That's how I was raised. His divorce was.

Not very accepted in God's eyes. So. I did my best, but I was able to respond with a. Hell. No. I'm not even doing that now. You cross the line and I get to respond to it by not talking to you ever again. And filing for divorce. So you see, that's a great in-person strategy for how to respond. Through your strategy with the narcissist and the universe puts everything in place for you to break free.

And then all the things happening ever since have been on my healing journey that I've been able to respond to and looking back, I can't even, you know, it's like, I don't even remember. How I got into this whole spiritual witchy side of things. After I left the church. And I couldn't, I can't quite place it because I was just constantly responding to the next bread crumb. I love the analogy with generators, manifesting generators.

What's the next breadcrumb that you can follow on your path or what's the next stepping stone that's going to magically appear as you're standing in the middle of the river. That's what you need to respond to. And then each response just leads you down the path. And all of a sudden you're in this beautiful garden. You're like, oh my gosh, how did I even get here? I don't know. I just kept picking up little pieces of bread, crumbs.

And that's how it is when you follow your strategy. It's truly amazing.

So . To conclude our episode today. I want to ask you open head centers.

We're both vulnerable to find an open, but open, especially. Do you feel as though you're always under pressure to answer other people's questions? I would say, or even fix their problems. Cause questions equal problems. And do you find yourself frequently living out other people's ideas and inspirations?

And I would ask that for you defined head centers.

Are you always telling people what to do, which is a bit of a narcissistic trait, you mean? Well, I know I was, I've been there. But how can you ask them more questions? To lead them to where you wish for them to go. And sometimes with, again, with that open head center, you don't need to say anything at all.

You can just be in the same aura and ask the question or say it. And listen and allow them to talk through it. And they'll come to the same answer that your telepathic thing to them . With your defined head center.

So here are affirmations for you both.

Open-hand center. I am deeply inspired all the time.

I follow my strategy to help me decide what I need to do. The questions in my head are from others. I don't have to answer them all. I only get to answer the ones that truly light me up.

Defined head center. I am inspired and inspiring others.

I spread inspiration everywhere I go sharing my ideas and insights when asked. With others.

[:

And remember, always key. You're you unique, light shining.

Losing time, I'll fade in fast. I just wanna make it last. Try to let go of the past. I close my eyes. Embrace the blast. Sleepless nights and headache stuff, restlessness to hell and back. What's my purpose? But do I grab a slippery resu surface, a heart attack? Sometimes you just gotta something that'll give you relief.

What we're broken. It's tragic. We're not all elastic, but maybe there's magic. Believe you could.
