HI, Ron here.
Open Centers:
Head, G, Heart, Sacral, Splenic, & Root.
Head:
I've always been trying to answer everyone's questions. It seemed as if I needed to answer their questions to justify myself. Their questions were usually not asked by them, but I felt the need to answer them anyway, it was a kind of pressure. I remember a business partner once giving me feedback about how it was not neccessary to tell our customers so much information about what we were doing. But I felt as if the customers needed to know. I am not doing that so much anymore, more often these days I can allow the silence, and the space for others to ask (or not) their own questions.
G:
Am I still seeking Love and direction? Yeah. Though not as compulsively as before. The direction question has been the stronger of the two for me. What is my right livelihood, what am I supposed top be doing here on this planet? I'm still working on that. Even though I know in a fundamental way who I am, the mystery seems to be who I'm supposed to become. How do I understand this G center piece? It's OK for me not to have a firm identity? (as a doctor, lawyer, indian chief, etc.) I'll be exploring that more deeply.
Heart:
I've been trying to prove how smart I am for along time. God what an awful burden!! The truth is, when I stop trying to prove it, that's when my native intelligence shows through. There really is nothing to prove. It seems to me as I write about these open centers; the message that comes through is - Relax, be who you are. Who you are requires no trying or effort. Being who you are does not come from compulsion or lack or a need to fix or correct.
Sacral:
Do I know when enough is enough? I'm beginning to get that one. Learning to say no, setting appropriate boundaries, and declining the once attractive (in avery disfunctional way) opportunities to be taken advantage of. "Until one can say "no", their "yes" means nothing."
Splenic:
Still holding on to what's not good for me? I'm not so clear about that one. Need more time to reflect on it.
Root:
Still in a hurry to be free of the pressure? Not si much, althougn pressured environments and situations leave me feeling inadequate often.
