Your BodyGraph looks like a circuit board because it IS one. It shows how energy flows through you. Let's break down the visual components.

1. Defined vs. Undefined Centers

Colored Shapes (Defined): This is your consistent energy. It's who you ARE. You broadcast this frequency to others.
White Shapes (Undefined/Open): This is where you are sensitive. You amplify the energy of others here. This is where your wisdom lies, but also your conditioning.

2. The Channels (Lines)

The lines connecting the centers are Channels. A full colored channel creates a 'Definition'. This is a specific talent or life force that is always active in you. For example, the Channel of Charisma (34-20) makes a Manifesting Generator the busiest person in the room.

3. The Profile (The Fractions)

You'll see numbers like 1/3, 5/1, or 6/2. This is your 'Costume'.
The first number is your Conscious role (how you see yourself).
The second number is your Unconscious role (how others see you).

Confused by the Details?

You don't have to learn it all yourself. Get a comprehensive 40-page report explaining every gate, channel, and center in your unique design.
