Defined Sacral Center

A defined Sacral is a stable source of life force. Such people can work, create, build, and hold energy for a long time when they are doing something they respond to. The Sacral is very bodily and honest. It reacts instantly to people, tasks, and opportunities through a sense of energy or its absence. The trouble begins when a person lives against their response and tries to force themselves to want what does not fit. Then energy gradually turns into depletion.

Gift: life force, endurance, the ability to create

Open (Undefined) Sacral Center

An open Sacral has no constant access to life energy. Such people can temporarily become very productive next to Generators, but then sharply burn out. The typical trap is trying to prove you can work like everyone else. Because of this the person ignores fatigue and loses connection with the body. Over time an open Sacral learns to feel the difference between its own energy and the amplification of others'. Then a healthier rhythm of life appears.

Wisdom: The wisdom of an open Sacral is to understand the value of rest and to feel the body's real limits.

Not-self trap: Working to total exhaustion while trying to keep up with others.
