In this episode, we turn our attention to the Head Center, which is the mental pressure center in Human Design. The Head is the source of inspiration, doubt, mystery, and confusion, providing the spark that begins the process of thought and conceptualization.

Kelsey explores how this pressure operates when the Head is defined versus undefined, what it means to be influenced by others’ questions and ideas, and how to navigate the not-self tendencies that arise when we try to resolve pressure that doesn’t truly belong to us. This episode is an invitation to shift your relationship with mental pressure so you can move from overwhelm and distraction toward curiosity, inspiration, and trust in the unknown.

What's Discussed in this Episode:

  • The role of the Head Center as a mental pressure center and the source of inspiration
  • Healthy expressions vs. not-self tendencies in both defined and undefined Head Center
  • The not-self voices of the undefined/ open Head Center
  • How conditioning distorts the role of the Head Center
  • How the not-self of the Head Center manifests for each Aura Type
  • Head Center gates (61, 63, 64) and their zodiac/circuitry associations
  • The biological correspondence of the Head Center
