Profile Summary Root Centre
The Root Center puts pressure on a person, forcing him to do something, go somewhere, work, create, adapt, etc. It is an evolutionary pressure to live and develop. It is this Center that determines how a person will cope with stress and act in emergency situations.
Stress is the natural fuel for this Motor, which gives strength to overcome obstacles, achieve goals and set records. Therefore, the point is not to protect yourself from stressful situations, but to correctly spend the released adrenaline, not suppressing it, but directing it in a useful direction.
Defined Root Center
The owners of a defined Root Center in the correct living of their Design are full of strength to move forward and stir up fellow travelers at the same time. They thrive in the thick of things and can handle their own stress and pressure. Such people are comfortable living at their own pace, and trying to hurry them up or slow them down is pointless. As a rule, they easily cope with routine tasks, do not put everything off until later, and are in time everywhere. They love and work effectively with tight deadlines and emergency cases.
Undefined Root Center
People with an undefined Root Center are very sensitive to outside pressure. Their natural state is relaxation. Left alone with themselves, they will first of all look for an opportunity to be in peace. Being under the influence of someone else’s stress, such people will rush, trying to finish everything faster and free themselves. However, this “liberation” is followed by new tasks and stresses, and this path is endless. They should understand that there will always be some cases, and the most correct thing for them is to deal with them at a pace that is comfortable for them, without trying to redo everything in the next hour and without postponing the deadline for the last minutes. They can achieve outstanding results in any business if they work out of self-interest, and not on someone else’s instructions. So that someone else’s stress does not lead them into a state of nervousness and anxiety, they should learn to let it through themselves without getting involved in the action.
Open Root Center
With such a Center, people simply do not know what pressure is, how to deal with it, and when to rush. In incorrectness, someone else’s stress and external pressure can simply paralyze, “freeze” them, making it impossible to do at least something. And with the correct living of their Design, they are able to act quickly, accurately and prudently in emergency situations, correctly using the pressure received and the released adrenaline. The potential of an open Root Center is to enjoy peace and, if necessary, to be faster than any Definite, because by reflecting, it enhances its energy. Learning to manage this pressure, to accept it as one of the integral parts of life, is not an easy job, which, however, gives many benefits as a result.
Keep in mind that the consequences and nature of the conditioning of your undefined or open Centres by the people around you and planetary transits directly depend on the correctness of your living your Design!
