Thank you for your content Karen! I am an emotional Manifestor with an open ego, sacral and root center. Now that I'm diving deeper into Human Design, I'm going to see my deep conditioning in this and with that my not-self strategies. My parents are both generators and have defined their sacral and root center. And they both activated many gates in both centers. They are approaching 70, but are real workhorses. I've always been amazed how they could do so much work every day and still run a business. For me it was always a very challenging situation because I experienced so much stress and pressure (and thought it was mine..). Always working hard and 'building' something for later is what makes my parents feel worthy and I indirectly felt that way too, but my mechanics work completely differently. I've always been seen as lazy and spoiled because I just couldn't go along with this, I got exhausted working for them. The knowledge of HD helps me to understand this and to respect the uniqueness of everyone's design. And I have been living in Brazil for four years, where I also work intensively with ayahuasca. Both help me enormously in this deconditioning process. Thanks for sharing and smile from Brazil :)
I have a lot of not self conditioning in my open root center. I hope that I will show spiritual growth in this area. At least pause a bit before I react. Thanks for a great description of the root center.
I see now that you are the same reflector who commented on the reflector video. So my suggestion isn’t so easily implemented! I do resonate though, as the root conditioning was the center that made center mechanics so obvious and unquestionable to me. I felt it so strongly.
Thank you for this wonderful video describing the open root center. It's very helpful to understand the crux of how this center operates. I have an open root and experienced deep depression in the past, was diagnosed with catatonia and weaved constantly between flight and freeze responses. It was a harrowing time in my life. I know also all to well the experience of feeling a constant pressure to be done with a task. The pressure is overwhelming. I've been tapping deeply into the wisdom the openness has afforded me. Great lessons learned. Thank you again, very insightful and healing hearing this information in such depth.
Wow. That is a profound insight. The pressure really can be overwhelming. That doesn't change with the information, but having the awareness makes it easier not to act from that place. I so appreciate you for how you are able to really take this information in deeply. That's how it touched me too...but it doesn't happen that way for everyone.
@@karenmcmullen Yes, that's a very good point; the experience of the overwhelm from the constant pressure doesn't change with simply having access to the information but man, does the awareness sure help! The shift has been profound. To know you can gain wisdom and empowerment is truly empowering. I feel like I've pierced a thick veil and feel softer, lighter, more present. Radical difference from the pure hell I was constantly dwelling on! You're a light, Karen! So grateful. Looking forward to learning more through your series of videos.
thanks for the video. I have a completely open root center and completely open ego center. For me that feels like a double tricky combination. I realize that my conditioned me that feels unworthy tries to feel worthy by immediatly doing fast and taking care of thourougly what is expected (at work or in relations) as i constantly feel these pressures from everywhere. A trap I am trying to free myself from.
Lol. I can relate completely! Having the awareness and then coming back to your strategy and authority changes the game. Thanks for sharing this insight.
Thank you very much for this awesome and precise description! The root, the heart and the spleen center are my defined ones and as the root and the heart are constantly pushing me to do and initiate, they often overwrite the voice of my spleen. Also waiting for invitations is then really a challenge. Do you have a recommendation?
Hi Britta! It does sound challenging. The root is so strong, and so is the will, so the only thing I can think to say is that you make sure you have something to DO each day...so you are putting your motors to you. Your 'waiting' for the invitation can be active.
@@karenmcmullen Thank you very much for your answer. It's really interesting to observe: I can easily lay down the whole day, stare at walls (how you often describe it ;)) and contemplate or sense into things and I totally enjoy it. Simultaneously there is a voice underneath: "You have to do something, BEING is not enough etc." It feels like a constant and sometimes very confusing dance between those two desires. Trying to see it playful though.
Yes, it can be free of the pressure. But my experience is that when I’m around someone with a defined root I can often feel the pressure, whether or not I act on it.
My root is defined and my sun is at the still mountain gate...I have an incredible stillness line 6...I always observe and move according to my own feeling of rush

It’s hard not to! I suggest focusing on your strategy and authority whenever you notice the root pressure. Thanks for commenting!

So helpful, thank you! 4-6 manifester with open root here.
The undefined root can be intense at times!!!

NAILED IT! Help me!!! I’m drowning in my open root today!

Open
Amplified pressure to do!
I thought a completely open and undefined root can be free of this pressure once the conditioning is removed since there’s no gates or channels ?
Yes, it can be free of the pressure. But my experience is that when I’m around someone with a defined root I can often feel the pressure, whether or not I act on it.

Beautiful
What's a mountain gate
