For day 30, a look at the root center.
And I'm unsure if today will be the last day or if I'll extend to 50 or just keep going until I feel like stopping... we'll see!
The root center is one of the pressure centers (the head being the other) All the energy in these two centers have an extra pressurized sense. The root holds the energy of stress, adrenaline and a certain sense of timing, it is also connected to the energy of adaptation, the pressure and stress to move forward.
I can sense this through one of my defined gates and channels. I have the 42/53 - the channel of maturation that connects the root and sacral center. My 42 is on the conscious side AND part of my incarnation cross. It's important energy for me. And yet... I still feel pressure to start things all the time. I'm very aware of that energy even though it is an unconscious gate and not part of the incarnation cross.
It seems to add an extra compulsion or push to the energy it is moving through.
The energy of a defined root center is also connected with adrenaline energy and it comes in pulses. It isn't just a turned on boost of energy, it's there sometimes and other times it isn't. When I notice it, I tend to try to ride the wave of being really productive. And usually it means the day after will absolutely not be that way. This is how the energy of timing often comes in. If I really lean in to that pulse I can feel it keeping me focused and on task. Rarely does the following day feel similar. I've come to understand how this works and do my best to use it to my advantage. On days when I feel that energy and I don't use it, there is an interesting sense... kind of like letting a vegetable wither on a vine. I'm not sure how to better describe it! When unfocused it can just feel like frozen anxiety I guess. That makes it sound like a silly dessert.
My partner has an undefined root center. It feels a bit nebulous to me really, like, not that different. I like to have the awareness of how my energy may affect him, but I feel like he is good at managing his own energy.
The idea of the two centers together is that the undefined root may feel the pressure in a more pronounced way and feel like they need to get all the things done to be able to relax - a constant marking things off the list in order to feel able to rest, a pressure to get all the things done. The "lesson" being to ask "am I doing this in order to feel at peace or because I actually want to get this thing done?"
This is a case where I think mindfulness and meditation can really help. Where is the awareness? For the undefined "am I taking on someone else's sense of urgency or "to do" list?
And with the awareness, partners with opposite definition in this center can have a better understanding as to what they may feel pressured to do (or not).
On of the most interesting things about the root center to me, is that when it is connected to an emotional wave, when the wave is down, it shuts off the adrenaline pulse from the root center. So for those with emotional authority and a direct connection to the root center (19/49, 39/55, 41/30), when in neutral or on the up of an emotional wave, they may feel more energized as their root center is more turned on. When on the down of the wave, the root center may turn off, decreasing energy that is felt at other times. Since I do not have a defined ESP, I cannot speak to this, but from what I understand, this does make sense to people that have this configuration.
Well, that's a wrap on this and for now, day 30 of 30 is done! I have some more I would like to do, but am thinking of turning this project in to another project so... we'll see what happens!
If you're in relationship (partner, parent/child, coworker) do you know if you or your partner have a defined or undefined root center? If so, what is your perspective/experience?
