Human Design is a mystical system that combines astrology, Kabbalah, I’Ching, and the chakras to describe the mechanics of life and relationships. One of the fascinating things about Human Design is that your channels indicate not just what your qualities are, but what you bring out in other people as well.
The root is one of the nine centers and is a pressure center. It is about adrenaline and is a pressure to make something happen. When you have defined root, you are the pacesetter; others can’t make you speed up or slow down. You are constantly under pressure and can withstand it.
When you have defined root you apply pressure on others through your aura. You are unable to stop this from happening. It happens automatically.
The three channels that connect from the root to the sacral center pressure others more than all the channels in the chart. If you have one or more of these channels, they override every other channel in your chart in the pressure department. The three channels are:
*9-52 Channel of Concentration – This is a logic process channel. It pressures others to focus and concentrate.
*3-60 Channel of Mutation – This is an individual process channel. If you have this channel it pressures others to wait for something to happen.
*42-53 Channel of Maturation – This is an abstract process channel. It pressures people to enter into an event following the sequence of a beginning, middle, and end in order to maximize its inherent potential.
The three channels from the root to the spleen and the three channels from the root to the solar plexus also apply pressure on others
If you have undefined root, work on de-conditioning from the belief that you need to get your work done in order to enjoy yourself. You don’t have to be in a hurry! Those of us with defined root will never be wise about stress (alas). If you have undefined root, you can learn how to manage stress. Then you can teach us defined root people how to relax and take a vacation already. Please! I’m waiting for your wisdom. But don’t hurry.
