What this center is about
The Sacral gives steady, renewable energy for life and work. It works in response: it doesn't start action by itself, it responds to what life offers with a bodily "yes" or "no". Biologically it's the center of fertility, linked to the ovaries in women and the testes in men. It's the only center that works differently in women and men. Whether the Sacral is defined matters more than anything else for a person's type.
Defined Sacral
A defined Sacral means a consistent capacity for work and a consistent sexual identity that doesn't change from partner to partner. Work is good for these people: they feel better when they're busy with something their body responds to, and they go to bed pleasantly tired.
The voice of the Sacral is a sound from the belly: "uh-huh" for yes, "unh-unh" for no. It comes faster than thought, and it's easiest to hear in answer to a yes-or-no question.
Trap of the defined Sacral: living while ignoring your own response, and turning into a slave who works without satisfaction. And someone who feels like a slave looks for a "worker bee" of their own among people with an open Sacral.
Open Sacral
An open Sacral (in Projectors, Manifestors and Reflectors) has no steady motor of its own. Around Generators it amplifies their energy, and it can feel as if nobody has as much strength as you. Sexual identity isn't fixed either: in different relationships a person discovers different ways of being a woman or a man.
Trap (not-self): "too much of everything", work, spent energy, relationships, and not knowing when enough is enough. To shed other people's energy, people with an open Sacral need time alone, and it's better not to sleep in the same room as someone with a defined Sacral.
Gift: without identifying with other people's strength, an open Sacral sees clearly what another person is capable of, what they're good for and where their energy is best directed. Such people can be wonderful advisers to Generators.
A question to ask yourself
Do I know when enough is enough?
