Today’s episode covers the heart center human design. I’m sharing themes of the heart center in human design as well as reflection questions and prompts to strengthen your relationship with the heart center. Before we dive into today's episode, I wanted to share an incredibly exciting announcement that the Mind Body Connection Unlocked book is now officially available for pre order. If you have been wanting to dive deeper into the Mind Body connection in some way for your relationship with yourself and how it impacts your work, your career, your relationships with family and friends, all of the different things, you can get all the details here. I'm really excited for you to have this in your hands.
Today we continue with our Discover Who You Are series with the heart center in Human Design. We're going through each of the centers in Human Design and today we're going to be talking about the Heart Center. There are nine different centers. We've covered quite a few of them already. You can go back into the previous episodes and see what those were. For the Heart center, the theme that we're talking about is all around self worth, motivation, commitment, valuing yourself and the material world.
Each of these centers have a theme. I will talk a little bit about the energy within that theme and then give you some reflection questions and prompts. If this is your first episode listening for this series so you know you can go grab your human design chart for free here. I also offer human design readings. We can always dig deeper that way if you would like.
About the Heart Center Human Design
This episode is meant to share some reflection questions and prompts and offer different perspectives for you so that you can see how the heart center and these themes show up in your life and whether or not you feel in alignment with them. I'm not doing a full on teaching of human design. This is really, it's a tool that I use in my work. There are some really great ways that you can use this in your own growth journey and with your own expansion, whether or not you know the details of it.
The heart center is the smallest little triangle on the right side of the chart. You can pull your chart online again and get more of that information link in the show notes. But it's that small, very small triangle and also at the same time very powerful in a lot of ways.
The Defined Heart Center Human Design
With the centers in human design, you either have it defined or undefined, which is colored in or not colored in in your chart. It means that you either have consistent access to that energy or inconsistent access to that energy. So consistent access means that you can feel that within you all the time. And the inconsistent access means that you feel it from others and you amplify it back out into the world. In this case, it’s really important to pay attention to what's yours and what's not. And that's why it's helpful to know where you have defined centers in your chart.
If you have the heart center defined on your chart colored in and you have the consistent access to this energy, then that means that you will have a willpower to be able to follow through, to follow through on your commitments. And you'll also have a feeling or an energy of a need to prove yourself in some way that you really want to go after your accomplishments, which is great. And for all of these, there's no right or wrong, good or bad right. These are just different circumstances and different energies that people have. So with that drive and desire, it means that you're putting things out into the world. You have to feel into and decide on what you have the willpower to follow through on and where, where you want that energy to go. So if your heart is in it, really taking a look at is my heart in this thing and is this the direction that I want to go? And with that, being mindful of not overdoing it either, because it can feel really hard to stop when you have this willpower to you. The heart center is a motor center so there can be this extra movement in the energy within your body. Feeling like you really have to keep going forward. It's also a watch out of, hey, am I pushing too much? Am I doing too much? If you have inconsistent access to this energy. So it's a white shape on your chart.
The Undefined Heart Center Human Design
If you have this center undefined in your chart, inconsistent access to this energy, the thing that I see most often is that there is a misalignment in terms of self worth and the need to prove oneself. With inconsistent access to the energy, you are not here to prove yourself in the same way that someone that has definition feels in their body. So you're not here to prove yourself, you're not here to feel that push internally from your body to say, I have to keep going, I have to perform, I have to prove. And it's hard for people to understand that a lot of the time because when you are undefined, you're amplifying from other people around you. So if you're around someone that has a defined heart center and they are here to prove and they are here to have that willpower to follow through, and you're amplifying that as an undefined, if you're not careful, you can take that on. That's the biggest thing I see with the undefined energy of this center.
Reflection Questions for the Heart Center Human Design
There are ways that you can work with it whether you're defined or undefined, whether you have consistent access to the energy or inconsistent access to it. For that I want to invite you to consider the following:
What is your relationship with yourself?
What is your relationship with your value, your worth?
Do you feel that you need to prove yourself?
And if so, where is that coming from?
All of these things are great questions to reflect on. Because if you are looking to become more of the leader in your life, if you're looking to work through and have more alignment, you want to take a look at where you might not have alignment, you might be out of alignment. This self worth and value is a really, really big one for a lot of people.
If you're always feeling like you need to know more, you need to prove yourself, you need to keep going, and you're on a hamster wheel of sorts it could be a good time to check in with all of this and check in and see, hey, wait, what is my relationship with this? Why do I feel a need to prove myself and is that in alignment for me?
If you have the definition and you are here with an energy, a consistent access to energy to prove that's great, you still need to check in with it and say, am I putting that energy to the things that are aligned for me? Am I putting that energy in places where my heart is really in it?
On the flip side, if you're undefined, if you have inconsistent access to that energy, are you allowing yourself to take a look and recognize that you are worthy as you are and that you have nothing to prove? Your process and your energy is not meant to chase and prove something.
Now I will also say that we are all worthy as we are, of course. And here I'm speaking more about the details of how this energy works and how it feels. Because the heart center is a motor. So people that have the definition will feel that extra little push from within their body that someone that's undefined will not, will not if they're in healthy relationship and not amplifying from others. So that's why it's really important to check and see, okay, what's your design? Where do you have definition? And then are you in right relationship with that definition?
Conclusion on the Heart Center Human Design
Each of these episodes is covering that for the themes of that center. And this heart center human design, even though it's tiny looking on the chart, it's a very powerful one. Especially if you are a business owner or a leader. There are so many people, especially women, that struggle with self-worth in some way. And I find that having a little more clarity and understanding, using human design as a tool can be really supportive to getting shedding some of those layers that may be, may have been built up over time. Conditioning from, from your life, from childhood, from experiences, from whatever the thing is. So really being able to pay attention and focus in on, okay, what is actually mine and what is not mine and really paying attention to is this mine or am I amplifying someone else's?
For any center that I have undefined, I really try to check in with that a lot and say, is this mine? Actually, now that I know for a lot of the times, if it's a center where I'm undefined, I know that that's not mine. So then my next question is, whose is this? Whose energy am I feeling right now? Because in my authentic, clear headed, grounded state where I'm deeply connected in my body. I know that that energy is not mine. So then I take a look around and say, whose energy is this? And okay, I can give it back to them. I don't need to hold this for myself.
This is something that I hope if you're listening to these episodes that you're able to do over time, that you're able to see from your chart and start to integrate and listen for and learn within yourself. And that's something that I do a lot with clients because in the beginning, most of the time when people come to me, they are not so clear in their mind-body connection. They're going through a certain type of change or situation or want to become a better leader in their work. They want to use some of these tools and practices as a way to enhance their performance or take care of themselves and their well-being in some way. A lot of the time it's starting to build a new foundation that's really rooted in their own mind, body connection. And with that, it's understanding how your own energy works. It's understanding the signals and cues from your body. It's listening to those, it's responding to those moments, paying close attention and, and being discerning about what's really for you and what's not and all of that, it doesn't happen in a moment. It comes over time.
My hope is that with these episodes, you can take away some of these reflection questions and prompts and themes and incorporate them into your life and start to observe and say, hey, okay, what is my relationship with my own value, with my need to commit and follow through with my self worth in some way and start to observe them and then continue on the journey from there.
This is the heart center in human design. It's a very powerful center. It brings a lot with it. So I hope you found something within this one thing at least. If you didn't find everything resonating for where you are right now, I'm sure you found one thing within here. And if you did find a lot resonating, pick one place to start. Don't let it be overwhelming.
