THREE AWARENESS CENTERS:
The Spleen Center: Your Inner Ninja
The Spleen Center in Human Design is like your inner ninja, silently and swiftly working to keep you safe and healthy. It’s all about intuition, survival instincts, and well-being. Imagine it as your personal, super-sensory sidekick, always on the lookout for what’s best for you.
With a defined Spleen Center, you have a consistent and reliable sense of intuition, well-being, and survival instincts—you’re naturally in tune with your intuition. It’s like having a steady guardian within you (an internal GPS), always ready to keep you safe and alert. This stability affects the way your activated gates express themselves, giving you a solid base from which to operate. Your immune system is also linked to this center, giving you a robust ability to ward off illnesses.
On the other hand, if your Spleen Center is open (undefined), you might be more sensitive to the energies and health issues of those around you. An undefined Spleen Center with activated gates means that while the Spleen Center itself is open to external influences and lacks consistent, fixed energy, the gates that are activated still provide specific, consistent themes and energies that influence your experience.
This makes you incredibly empathetic and attuned to others’ well-being, but it also means you need to be extra mindful of your own health and boundaries. Think of it as having super-sensitive radar that picks up on all the signals around you – useful but sometimes overwhelming.
Your undefined Spleen Center is like having a super-sensitive radar that picks up on various energies around you, especially related to health, intuition, and well-being. Without a consistent way of processing these energies, you might experience fluctuations in how you feel and respond to situations.
The Spleen Center is also associated with the present moment. It’s that instinctive knowing that keeps you grounded in the here and now. When you listen to your Spleen, you’re tuning into a primal wisdom that helps you navigate life with agility and grace.
Here’s the fun part about the Spleen Center: it’s all about trust and spontaneity. Those hunches or gut reactions you get? They’re your Spleen whispering secrets to you. Trusting these instincts can lead to some of the most magical and serendipitous experiences. It’s like having a built-in superpower that guides you through life’s twists and turns.
To care for your Spleen Center, focus on staying healthy, both physically and emotionally. Pay attention to those intuitive nudges, and don’t ignore them. They’re your inner ninja’s way of keeping you on track. Also, embrace practices that keep you present, like mindfulness or meditation, to stay connected to your Spleen’s wisdom.
The Spleen Center is your inner guardian and intuitive guide. By listening to its whispers and honoring its signals, you can navigate life with a sense of safety and well-being. So, next time you get that gut feeling, remember – it’s your Spleen Center in action, leading you with ninja-like precision!
