The truth in your words

The G center is responsible for identity, direction and love. When it's connected to the Throat, you literally hear who you are and where you're going in what you say. That's why the best way to make a decision is to say it out loud.

This isn't about getting advice from others. You need the other person as a “sounding board”: you talk, they listen. And somewhere in the middle of the conversation you hear yourself — what truly feels like you and what doesn't.

How to decide

  • Tell people you trust about the situation, and listen to what you yourself are saying.
  • Pay attention to the feeling: does this sound like “me”, or like something foreign?
  • Ask yourself: “Does this take me in my direction? Will I be myself here?”
  • Don't rush into action until your words have become clear.

Self-projected authority is when you hear your direction in your own voice.

Identity and direction

For this authority, decisions are always tied to the question “who am I”. The right choice feels like moving in your own direction and staying yourself; the wrong one feels like having to play someone else's role.

Traps

The trap is asking for advice and doing what others recommend instead of listening to yourself. The second is making decisions silently, “in your head”: for this authority, thoughts without a voice don't give you much.
