Embodiment
Look at your chart and see if your Root Center is white or colored in. If it's white, it's Undefined. If it's colored in, it's Defined. See explanations below. Copy & Paste into your personal notes for yourself.
The Root Center represents life fuel, momentum, adrenaline, stress, and pressure. It is a motor and pressure center.
It is often associated with the adrenal system and stress hormones. Stress is a necessary and natural part of life. It is fuel, but like many things, it can go out of balance. Stress can energize us and move us forward.
The Root energy is an essential ingredient in the manifesting equation — it’s the energy to do.
DEFINED
With a Defined Root Center, you feel a steady pulse to move ahead in the world. You have a consistent way of dealing with stress and pressure. You have access to the fuel that drives energy to your throat. It’s a pure and powerful energy that moves you forward in life.
UNDEFINED
With an Undefined Root Center, you amplify others’ stress and pressure to do.
You absorb it from your environment and want to relieve the pressure by getting into action, which could lead to burnout.
Notice when the stress is yours vs. someone else’s you’re amplifying. Learning to discern what’s yours and honoring your energetic ebbs and flows will do wonders to release pressure in this area.
SUPERPOWERS
Undefined (Open) Root Center
SUPERPOWER: IGNITER
You can feel adrenaline rushes that have the potential to propel a stuck situation into forward momentum. The pressure essentially ignites you into action. You can use these bursts of energy to get important things done if it feels right according to your strategy. You have the potential to understand deeply how stress functions, how to use it properly, and how to distinguish between good stress & unhealthy stress.
CHALLENGE:
A never-ending sense of pressure to get things done. It always feels like freedom lies on the other side of finishing the thing in front of you. Some of you will even begin to crave more intense pressure. You also may feel like others are trying to pressure you into decisions or actions.
KEY:
Slow down for a moment and remind yourself that it’s okay to set something aside. Asking yourself, “What’s the worst thing that could happen if I don’t do X today?” is a great strategy for doing the right things. Resting is sometimes more important than completing the item on your list. Very few situations these days are life-and-death emergencies requiring immediate response. Breathing techniques for stress and anxiety can help.
Defined Root Center
SUPERPOWER: HEART DEFIBRILLATOR
You may excel with pressure and stress, but just because your Root Center is Defined doesn’t mean you don’t experience challenges or stress. However, when you enter the correct situations using your strategy and authority, you have the potential to stay grounded and have a beautiful sense of stillness in your pursuits, even amidst stress and chaos. You can instill order in others’ stress (like a defibrillator does to the heart) and restore things to rhythm.
CHALLENGE:
Something to note in relationships—by nature of your energy, others may feel you are putting pressure on them. To maintain a sense of calm, it’s advisable to clearly explain your expectations. Hopefully, this will alleviate some of the pressure your friend, partner, or acquaintance feels.
KEY:
Honor your Root pulse and wait for the energy to get things done. You will get more done when the energy is “on.” When the energy is off, remember that it is your time to rest and restore yourself.
