If you’re new to Human Design, think of it as a map of your energy. It gives you insight into how you’re naturally wired, where your energy is consistent, and where you may be more open to outside influence. And today, we’re looking at one piece of that map: the Mind Center.

The Mind (also called Anja) Center is often associated with the mind, concepts, ideas, opinions, analysis, and the way we process and organize information.

And let’s be honest… our minds can have A LOT to say.

When the Mind Center is defined, there can be a more consistent way of processing information and forming thoughts, ideas, and opinions.

When it’s open or undefined, you may be more influenced by the ideas, opinions, and ways of thinking around you. That can sometimes create pressure to have an answer, be certain, or figure everything out.

But neither is better.

In this episode, we’re talking about the differences between a defined and open Mind Center, what each can bring to the table, and some of the ways the mind can show up in everyday life.

Because having a strong mind doesn’t mean you have to be right.

And having an open mind doesn’t mean you don’t know anything.

Sometimes the most helpful thing we can do is notice when we’re thinking because we’re genuinely curious… and when we’re thinking because we feel like we have to figure something out.
