For today's episode, we are continuing with the Discover Who You Are series, looking at alignment through each of the centers in human design. So far we’ve covered the identity center, throat center, head center and ajna center in human design. If this is your first episode of the series, you can look back to the last few and I will share a little preface here too. The tool that I'm using to look through these centers is human design, if you are not already familiar with is a tool. It's a map, it's a blueprint that I like to say supports you on your journey by showing you more about how you best operate, how your energy works. There's a lot with the Mind-Body connection in particular, how you best make decisions and so many other deeper layers. It's incredibly transformative if you're open to different ways of seeing and learning about yourself. So you don't need to know about human design.
For this series, I'm offering it as short episodes that are reflection. They're invitations for you to reflect on where you are in your relationship with each of these energy centers. So it's not necessarily teaching, but I will share some themes and some basics of each of the centers along the way. If you want to grab a free chart, you can do that here. And if you do want to go deeper with this information, for sure you can reach out. You’re invited to learn more about my offers and readings here. For the purposes of today, it's reflections and prompts for you on your journey for more alignment in your life.
Introducing the Emotional Solar Plexus Human Design
Today's center is a big one. It's the solar plexus. The solar plexus is all about emotions in the body. Now if you did pull your chart or if you want to look up where it is, the solar plexus is the inward facing triangle that's on the lower right side of your chart. So if you have it colored in, it means you have consistent access to this energy and you will feel emotions within your body. And if you have it not colored in, if it's white on your chart, then you have inconsistent access to this energy and your emotional feelings come more from outside of you. They're not a felt sense in the body in emotional waves. So there's no right or wrong with any of this. I usually preface with that as well. And really, again, take what resonates and leave the rest. This is going to be a conversation for, an invitation for reflection on your relationship with your emotions.
The solar plexus is a big center. They're all big centers in different ways, but this is a pretty big one. So about 53% of the population has this center with consistent access to the energy. So they have it defined. It's colored in on their chart. If you are one of those people, then emotional decision making style is the way that you make decisions. So there is a hierarchy for decision making. And I have a separate podcast episode about decision making that you can check out here. With this hierarchy, if you have the solar plexus defined, if you have consistent access to the energy here, this will be your decision making style. I'll share a little bit about that on this episode because it's very important for the relationship with the solar plexus.
With a defined Solar Plexus in Human Design, you will feel the highs and lows of your emotions within your body. And in terms of making decisions, you are meant to ride out those waves of the highs and lows before you make a decision. You're actually meant to arrive at a feeling of neutrality in your body before you make a decision. So this is not something where you're meant to make a decision in the moment. And this isn't meant to be a decision making episode. But it's very important if you have this defined, that you know that, that your emotions ride on these waves. And depending what gates and channels and all of that, the waves will feel differently to you. Essentially, you'll have to ride these emotional waves, the highs and lows, until you feel neutrality in your body and then make the decision.
Also, you're never really going to feel a hundred percent sure when you make a decision. And 80% or more and you're good to go. A lot of the times a low expression with anything I would say is, is looking for certainty and needing to be positive and extra sure about something. Right? Because you're worried in some way about the outcome. If you aren't, in the case of the solar plexus, that 80% or more is your go ahead. Because it's never going to feel 100% sure. And it's a very important point if you're someone that has this because you might have shame and self doubt around the way you even make decisions or the way you relate to your emotions. And I find when clients discover this about themselves, that they have emotional authority. This is a very supportive thing for them to know that they don't have to feel certain and it can still be the way forward for them. Sharing that up front, if you have consistent access to this energy, that's one of the biggest things to know right off the bat is that it's how you will make decisions. Using this and your relationship to your emotions is directly linked to how you make decisions.
The Defined Solar Plexus Human Design
In terms of low expressions, you know well for the high expressions. So in terms of high expressions or benefits to the center, if you have it defined, is that you have consistent access to your feelings and you can ride those emotional waves before you decide something. You don't have to ride, you don't have to decide in the moment.
In terms of the low expression, you might hold a belief that you should be happy all the time because you're feeling those emotions intensely in your body. And consider this really a permission slip and understanding and clarity that it doesn't work that way for you and you might struggle. Again, I mentioned the being feeling the need to be certain in decisions. So if you do feel that need, that's a low expression of you working with this and a low expression of you working with this decision making style that's tough tied to the solar plexus.
The Undefined Solar Plexus Human Design
If you are undefined, if you have inconsistent access to this energy, so it would be a white shape on your chart, the energy around this looks different. In its high expression, you can be an objective observer about things that are happening. And generally, people with this, with inconsistent access to the center are really empathetic because they can feel and understand from a different perspective. With all of the centers, if you have it white, if you have inconsistent access to the energy, you are amplifying the people around you that have that center defined or that have consistent access to that center. If you think about it that way, the, the person that's undefined inconsistent access can really feel the feelings of the person that's defined in a different type of way that allows them to be really empathetic.
Now, word of caution with that, of course, is if you have inconsistent access to this energy, are you taking that on from the other person? That applies to all of the centers as well. If you have them undefined and then in a low expression, you can really struggle to tell the truth to other people because you're afraid it'll hurt their feelings. Or you may feel bad for feeling like you are not emotional because actually your emotions aren't coming from within you, they're coming from what's happening in the world around you. And there can be a lot of shame tied to that too. All the low expressions can have a feeling of shame to them in some way.
Your Relationship with Other People’s Emotions with the Human Design Solar Plexus
Taking a look at the human design solar plexus center, it's really important to be aware of and get in tune with your relationship with your emotions. Again, on the consistent side, if you're defined, are you riding those waves and are you accepting that you have these emotions within you and, and not looking at it as a bad thing and understanding that relationship and not letting those highs and lows dictate your whole life. And then if you have inconsistent access, you're undefined. What's your relationship with other people and are you taking on other people's emotions?
Personal Story of the Undefined Solar Plexus Human Design
I personally am undefined in this center, so I don't have my own consistent access here. And I can very Much amplify the feelings of others. And if I'm not careful and if I don't take time to spend time alone, clear my energy out, all these things, I can really hold on to other people's stuff. And it's not good for me to do that. It's not good for any of us to hold on to things from other people. But just sharing that as an example, that if I see something happen to someone or I hear someone starting to yell about something, if I'm not careful, I can, you know, jolt and then take that on with me. And I have to recognize and realize, hey, wait, that's not mine. Don't take it on. So there's a, there's a lot of layers in depth into all of this.
Invitations for Reflection with the Human Design Solar Plexus
The invitation here is really to start exploring what is your relationship with, with your emotions.
Regardless of if you have the center defined or undefined, what is your relationship with your emotions?
Then, if it's defined, are you giving time and space and grace to be with your feelings, to ride the waves before you get to neutral?
Making a decision in a high would be like, yeah, everything's great, I'm going to go right ahead. This is the best idea ever. And then, you know, having it fall apart later because you're like, wait, actually, this, that, the other thing that's not really aligned for me, or if you're making it in a low, you might want to burn everything down and start over. To which I would say, please don't do that. Let's talk first. Because there is something in everything, so you don't have to get rid of it all in haste.
If you have inconsistent access to the solar plexus human design center, what are you taking on from other people?
Are you allowing that to impact you?
Or can you be empathetic and tend to others while also taking care of yourself?
The Impact on the People and Emotions with the Solar Plexus Human Design
You know, if you think about it, the 53% of people that have this center defined are walking around with their consistent access to energy. And then the remainder of the people that are undefined, it's. It's almost a 50, 50 split, right? We could say half the world has these emotions that they're feeling very strongly in their bodies, and then the other half are amplifying what, what the first half is feeling. And so if we're all in better relationship with our emotions and with how we work and how we operate on a day to day basis, it would certainly benefit the collective because then we could be more in alignment, more, you know, cool head, steady hands, all of these things to really be not being, jumping around, triggered in the moment every time, really, really moving from a place from within, from a more grounded, centered place where our emotions are not deciding everything for us.
Back to the beginning when I was talking about emotional authority or the emotional decision making style, you're not meant to let your emotions make the decisions for you. That's not how it's supposed to work. You're supposed to wait until you feel neutral in your body. But how many people actually wait until they feel neutral in their body? Probably not many, unless you've been learning about human design or on a self-awareness journey for a while and really trying to make changes in your life. And that is a very different way of operating that. If we tuned in more to these emotions and either waited for them to ride the waves or for the undefined, if we paid attention and made sure that other people didn't amplify us all day long, if I'm walking around and I get, and I feel someone else's emotional energy, their emotions, and I get amplified, if I take that on as myself, then I'm acting with even higher sets of emotions than the person that was feeling them in the first place. And then we're both with high emotions. Do you see how that's not a great place for us to all be operating from? So it's really, really important to pay attention to your relationship with your emotions, how you process your feelings.
Conclusion on the Solar Plexus Human Design
Do you have outlets and ways that you cope and work through stress and work through challenging situations?
What are your outlets? Is it, is it therapy? Is it writing? Is it other subconscious work?
How do you work through your emotions from the past?
And then how do you work through your emotions on a regular basis so that you're not all jacked up on emotions all the time?
That’s your invitation for today. Take a look at your relationship with your emotions and really see how can you work with that. Is there something you want to change, tweak, you know, in some way? Doesn't have to be drastic. Is there something you want to, you want to change in this area of your life to feel more in alignment to be the leader of your life to be in the driver's seat in a way that feels good to you, but that's not trying to control every step of the way. Of course, are there ways that you can do that and reflect on your emotional solar plexus, the relationship here to make some of these changes for yourself and see where you get with it.
Being open and curious is a great way to invite in reflection and be able to be able to, let's say, like, start to invite in other ideas, other ways of thinking, other ways of being that will then support you in changing something else in your life. If you're going to be very fixed about it, then you probably won't see the changes. So that openness and curiosity is a way to kind of ease into things. Take a look and pay attention to your emotions over the next week or so and the next days and weeks and see what comes up for you. That's the invitation for today.
