shadow work x human design | excavating the sacral center

In Human Design, the Sacral Center governs how our body processes & expresses our physical energy.(If you’re brand new to human design, start here to learn more about the Sacral Center, and how it feels when it’s open and when it’s closed) 🖤

Here are some Shadow Work Journal prompts to consider as you’re going through the de-conditioning process with this center…

Closed Sacral Center:

• What conditioning have I received about what kinds of activities and pursuits are worthy of my energy?

• What messages have I internalized about productivity and its relationship to my value?

• Was I allowed to follow my joy and say YES to the things I felt excited by and NO to the things that I wasn't?

Open Sacral Center:

• What conditioning have I received about what work should look and feel like? About endurance? About follow-through?

• What messages have I internalized about productivity and its relationship to my value?

• Was I allowed to follow the natural ebbs and flows of my energy throughout the day or was I made to push through when my body was tired?

Over the next few months, I'll be sharing where to look in your chart and how to engage with what you find to get the most out of your Human Design experiment. But if you're ready to get started NOW, join the catalyst | fire community. This work is our focus for November.
