How it shows up

People with this channel know how to dive deep into a task without getting distracted. They can sit with a problem for hours, noticing details others miss. On the outside they may look still, but inside there is powerful focus.

Strengths and challenges

The strength is endurance and quality of work. The challenge is choosing the right thing to focus on: when focus goes to what doesn't matter, restlessness and irritation appear. Without a task that truly absorbs you, the energy of concentration turns into pressure.

Advice

Choose your work by your body's response — and let yourself become fully absorbed in it.
