The G Center

The G center is the one and only identity center of the bodygraph. It stands alone as a very unique part of the design. Referred to as the center of the self, it is about identity, direction, and love. We could think of it as the center that says “this is who I am, this is where I’m going, and this is what I love.” The G center, whether defined or undefined, is also the seat of the magnetic monopole – the force that holds our personality and design crystals together as we move through space and time. It is the driver of our lives, carrying us on our specific trajectory through life, not just in terms of how we think of ourselves or project into the world, but our physical movement through space and time. The G center shows us about environment, our specific location, where we are physically, and how we move from place to place. Its biological correspondence is the liver and the blood.

This is who I am, this is my direction and this is what I love

Having the G center defined means there is a specific, fixed sense of identity for your design. It means there’s a fixed direction you move in – your own consistent direction in life. Depending on whether this definition is conscious or unconscious, you may or may not have clarity about who you are and where you’re going. But with a defined G center, you can likely sense, and others can perceive, that you seem to be truly yourself. There’s a consistency to your identity and the direction you move through life.

Since the G center is about love, having it defined means a certain fixedness to what you love and how you love. Love can be highly differentiated, with many forms like self-love, love of humanity, unconditional love, etc. A defined G center shows a specific, consistent frequency to the love you carry. There may be certain things, aesthetics, styles, groups you’re drawn to reflecting this. Essentially, a defined G center means a fixed identity, frequency of love, and unique direction in life.

If this sense of identity, direction and love is not fixed, it means there is variability. With an open G center, you may feel you don’t have a fixed identity, sense of “who I am, what I love, where I’m going.” It can make you feel like a chameleon, able to move between groups, roles and ways of loving without being anchored to any one expression. The wisdom here is being able to perceive who is truly being themselves versus following a false path.

The open G center also means high sensitivity to environment and physical locations affecting your sense of identity, direction and love in relationships. It’s important to notice which places feel comfortable and right for you.

When healthy and defined, that fixed direction is respected and naturally expresses through you. There’s comfort in sharing your direction, identity and how you’re moving through life with others, which can bring them comfort too about our collective human direction. There’s acceptance about following strategy and authority to keep you aligned with your correct path and what you love. With a healthy defined G, there’s a natural alignment with what you love that others can witness.

In a healthy state, there is peace and acceptance about having no fixed identity, direction or love. This allows remaining open to moving through many directions guided by those around you (using strategy/authority). There is comfort with not having rigid preferences to perform, and being a natural mirror reflecting different identities without attachment. Importantly, there can be comfort with simply not knowing who you are in any lasting sense.

In an unhealthy state, the defined G center becomes obscured by the mind’s idea of what a proper direction “should” be, initiating new directions or love based on mental conditioning from family, society, etc. rather than its natural identity. There can also be pressure exerted on others to follow your specific direction (“This is where I’m going, you should follow me”).

In an unhealthy state, there is immense preoccupation with looking for love, identity and direction. This looks like chronically trying to find “a path for life” to give consistency, becoming obsessed with finding perfect love, figuring out “who am I?” and taking on fixed identities or roles to have a stable sense of self (“I’ll be the rebel” or “servant” no matter what). There can be role confusion and contorting yourself into roles just to interact with groups.

The core theme of the open G center conditioning is trying to find love and direction. Notice if actions or decisions are motivated by looking for love and direction. There may be an inner voice wondering “Who am I? Where do I go to find out? What path/teaching should I follow? Who will love me and where do I find them?” Or it may sound like “What am I going to do with my life? Am I lost? I need to find my path from A to B to C.” This can devolve into mental calculation disconnected from embodied experience.

For the undefined G, there could simply be a sense of not knowing what or how to “be” in relation to identity and direction questions. The beauty is having the capacity for many identities, love expressions and paths – you could become the wise one about the varieties of human identity without feeling deficient.
