The 9 Human Design energy centres
The nine centres are the bodygraph's functional areas: pressure, awareness, motor energy, identity and expression. A defined centre is consistent in you; an undefined centre is open to sampling and amplifying what is around you.
Read each centre as a practical experiment rather than a label. Your chart shows where energy is reliable and where wisdom is learned through openness.
