The Head Center
Inspiration & Mental Pressure
Understanding the Head Center
The Head Center is the topmost pressure center in the bodygraph. It pressures the mind to think, question, and seek inspiration. This is not a motor or awareness center — it is purely about the pressure to wonder, to ask "why?" and to be inspired by the mysteries of life.
How the Head Center Expresses
Whether this center is colored in (defined) or white (undefined/open) in your chart fundamentally changes how you experience its energy.
Defined Head Center
When the Head Center is defined, you have a consistent way of being inspired and thinking about questions. You generate your own mental pressure — a reliable and fixed way of wondering about life. You may inspire others with your consistent thought patterns and questions. You are not easily influenced by others' mental pressure.
Undefined Head Center
When the Head Center is undefined (open), you are open to all kinds of mental inspiration from the world around you. You can take in and amplify others' questions and inspiration. The wisdom of the open Head is learning which questions are truly yours and which belong to others. The not-self theme is trying to answer everyone else's questions.
