Root Center in Human Design

You feel a drive in your body that keeps you moving, mostly in a familiar beat. Pressure feels to you like a source of power that belongs to you. Behind it lies the need to be allowed to live your own rhythm.

In the HD model, the Root Centre stands for pressure and pace and is defined in you.

When you take on the haste of others, your beat falls into disorder and you wear yourself out. Once you follow your own drive, you see how pressure turns into vigour and carries you.

Pressure from outside reaches you quickly and grows stronger in you. You go through phases in which everything seems urgent at once. Then come times of great calm again. The need behind it is not to let the haste of others drive you.

Your Root Centre is open, which in the HD model marks the place for pressure and pace.

When you set out to resolve every pressure at once, you stay restless. Once you recognise where it comes from, you can take it as a hint and respond at your own pace.
