The Sacral is the great engine of life force in the BodyGraph — the source of the pure, sustaining energy that makes the work of being alive possible. It is the largest of the four Motor Centers and the most powerful. It is also the center that distinguishes Generators (about seventy percent of the population)…

The G Center, also called the Self Center, is the seat of identity, direction, and love. It is the only Identity Center in the BodyGraph, and it sits at the very heart of the figure — the place where the self, in the deepest sense of that word, lives. It is not a motor, not…

The Throat is the busiest center in the BodyGraph. Eleven gates open into it from the centers above and below, more than any other center carries. When you look at the Throat in your chart, you are looking at the place where everything else in your design is trying to go. It is the only…
