Episode 20 - Introduction to the Emotional Solar Plexus Center

Transcript

Hi friends and welcome back. Today we are talking about the Emotional Solar Plexus Center. This center is an awareness center. It's about feelings, moods, creativity, passion and desire. There are a lot of elements to this center, you know, when we talk about the emotional waves and, and everything else, and we'll briefly touch on that today, but I want to spend some time going into the emotions.

in another episode where we can dive a little more deeply into that. So today we're gonna talk about the open and defined centers. the emotional center when it's open is about 49% of the population, and these are people that we identify with as true emotional empaths, and they are the people who feel everybody's everything.

They can tend to be more people pleasing at times in their low expression of this center. They can tend to avoid confrontation. and that's because, you know, when you are somebody who feels everybody's feelings and doesn't really understand what's yours and what's the other, 'cause that takes some learning, it can feel overwhelming.

So I see this a lot with. Emotionally open People in their charts, they feel like they avoid confrontation because not only do they feel like they have to work up to confront somebody, which is a lot of work on its own, even if you have a defined emotional center, but they're feeling the confrontation, they're feeling their own feelings about it.

They're anticipating what the other person's feelings about it. And then they're feeling like they might feel bad if they hurt somebody's feelings. So there's a whole lot of emotions and feelings that are happening, and it feels overwhelming. And when it's overwhelming, it immobilizes them. They don't know what to do, they don't want to do anything with it.

So they tend to avoid confrontation. and that can lead to other stresses as well. You know, they feel. Other people's emotions and they want to make them happy often too. So if you feel like your partner is sad, you may want to always cheer them up. You may feel like you're responsible for making them happy.

and it can be a really interesting thing to learn about human design, and the emotional center and the emotional waves , even if you are an emotionally open person, because the more you learn about. The waves and how they work. The more you start to understand the emotions that are coming from people around you and you start to discern what is yours versus what is the other.

So somebody who is emotionally open is feeling in response to something, whether that's an internal or external stimulus. It is something that you are feeling in response to. Whereas somebody who has the center defined is always moving through their emotional wave at all times, and they are feeling something in response to, external stimulus as well.

So that can get a little more confusing. if you have a defined emotional center, you're about 51% of the population. You have those emotional waves, you may have 1, 2, 3, or four different types of waves. The more waves you have, the more, interesting it can be because you need to start to learn each one and how they operate.

you know, understanding what your needs are. A lot of times these emotional waves have needs that are not being met, and that's what leads them to explode or drop into their lows. We see these emotions that are harder to pull out of, or, you know, the explosion of the tribal wave, which can happen when needs are not being met.

And so it's important to both communicate what your needs are and also set boundaries around what you need if you have an emotional wave to let the people in your life know. What it means for you to have an emotional wave, what that wave operates like, how it feels, and what to notice in you when you are in the low of your wave or the high of your wave and what you need in those times.

It's important to know that your emotional wave is constantly projecting out into the environment around you, and it affects the people in your life. That you are around, especially your children, because they don't know what they're feeling necessarily. They just know they're feeling something. If your children are emotionally open and you are defined, they're going to take in that energy and amplify it because we amplify the energy we take in around us through those open centers or undefined centers, and we amplify it and send it back into the world.

So this emotional energy is taken in amplified and kind of sent back out. So a lot of times it's the. undefined emotional child who appears to be the most emotional because they're taking in all these emotions and then like spitting them back out because it doesn't feel good to hold them in their body.

Their bodies aren't meant to be constantly holding this emotional energy. They're meant to feel it, to experience it, to learn from it, and then to move on from it. So when they're by themselves, they're in this more neutral place of emotionality unless something internal or external stimulates them in that way.

So they can be very content on their own. But in a home where there are multiple emotional waves, it may feel very chaotic to them and they may just act out a lot trying to release that energy because it feels very intense and it feels like a lot for them.

The emotional waves. I will talk more about in, like I said in another episode when we talk about the emotions, but the emotional waves, there are three main types. One is tribal, and those operate in a ratcheting motion where. Something happens, it's kind of irritating, one notch at a time. They seem pretty even keel until all of a sudden it seems like out of the blue one little thing happens and they explode.

And that explosion, resets the wave. So the person who has this emotional wave feels better, but the people around them feel like chaos is just erupted and they don't know what to do about it, especially if they're emotionally open and they take that in and it feels like. It just feels very intense.

There's a lot of, fallout that happens when that explosion happens. So repairing that can be challenging at times. the individual wave is one that is pretty even keel until it has sudden highs. Sudden lows, and it doesn't tend to spend very much time in the highs or lows, but they can be pretty extreme.

So this can be somebody who seems pretty even keel, and then the next day they just don't wanna get outta bed because they're so low in their wave. Or they wanna jump into everything one day because everything sounds good and it feels like an exciting thing to do. You know, there can be this spontaneous quality to the highs of the waves that make you wanna jump in and say yes to everything.

It can feel and look a little erratic from the outside at times. And then the third wave is the collective wave, and this is the one that rises on expectations slowly over time. And when those aren't met, then it crashes into the lows and we hear things like, I shouldn't even bother, I shouldn't even get my hopes up.

I shouldn't try, I shouldn't get excited over anything.

Says things like that, because they are crashing in the low of their wave. So if you are somebody who has an emotional wave, it's important to get familiar with what that emotional wave is, how it works, how often it rises and, and crashes. And then, you know, tracking it over time can be really helpful.

Just to see what that pattern looks like. If you have multiple waves, tracking it can be a little trickier, but understanding how each of the waves behave differently can help you to understand that. and then speaking up for your needs, setting boundaries, letting people know what you need. And then if you are emotionally open, you know, understanding the waves to get a better idea of what you're feeling from other people, and understanding that everything that you feel is not yours.

It's not your responsibility, and if you feel like you're just pinging ponging emotions back and forth, the best thing that you can do is to separate, to get space from one another, to break ORIC space so that you are physically in different rooms and let those emotional energies like dissipate, let 'em fall to the floor and, and ground themselves, and then come back together and agree to talk.

When the emotions have calmed down, you know, and sometimes there's just this energy, especially between two emotionally open people. You may have brought something in from somewhere else where you picked up somebody's emotional wave and you're ping ponging it back and forth, and somebody just needs to break that space and say, oh, this isn't even our, let's just take a break and come back at this later.

And then it's gone. You know, it's, there's not even anything to discuss because it wasn't yours. And you start to realize like, oh, this doesn't feel like mine. It doesn't feel like yours. Okay, let's just break space and then come back together and see, you know, how we feel then. And if we can have a conversation better at that point.

So learn a little bit about the emotional waves. We'll talk more about these in depth in another episode, what you can do, how to track them. And explore this a little bit more when we get to the emotions section. Alright, that's all for today.
