Defined (Color) vs. Undefined (No Color) Centers in a Bodygraph Chart

• When an energy center, gate or channel has color this is considered “defined”. Wherever there is no color, this is considered “open” or “undefined”
  • Definition / Color in a Chart
    • Wherever we are defined (or have color) in a chart is where we have energetics we can rely on. They are our drives, talents, traits and gifts.
    • The energy in our defined areas is reliable and consistently available to us.
    • Color in a chart shows us the talents, gifts and traits we can rely on and lean into.
    • Wherever we have color shows us where we are less likely to pick up on the energetics of others and likely have a buffer to external conditioning.
  • Open / White areas in a Chart
    • Undefined or white areas are places where we can flow a bit and try different aspects on. (It doesn’t mean we are never that.) Our open areas are where we receive information, reflect, channel and amplify energies from the outside world.
    • These areas are were we develop our wisdom through lessons and experiencing variety in our life.

Gates & Channels

• Wherever we have a completely defined channel that connects two energy centers, we can do the completion of that energetic process ourselves. Anytime connecting gates both have color this is considered a “channel”.
• Anytime one gate has color and the corresponding gate does not have color – this is considered a “hanging gate”.
