The Ajna Center in Human Design

The ajna center in human design is one of three awareness centers in the body. It is the only awareness center in the body that does not have access to a motor since it is place between the head and the throat.

The ajna is much like an interpreter taking the inspiration/ideas from the head and turning it into useful information for review, research and ultimately communication. Think of the ajna as a processing hub. This is where you process information and prepare it for communication in the throat. This center makes sense of the inspiration from the head. It can see the whole and all the different parts simultaneously. The ajna is the capacity to differentiate, discern, and analyze. In short, it is here to do research.

The Source of Mental Awareness in Human Design

The ajna is the source of our consciousness, conceptualizing, thoughts, insights, opinions, and mental anxiety. For example, when you make a decision from the not-self the mind can replay this decision over and over again for the rest of our lives. With each replay it will come up with another opinion or suggestion as an option to try. It will be a source of endless options to try. You get stuck in a cycle of suggestions and dead ends. None of these options are correct though since the mind is not here to make decisions. Recognizing this cycle and that the mind is meant to be in service of others is key in breaking free. Shining awareness on this cycle of opinions, options, and dead ends of the ajna is key in getting yourself out of confusion and disappointment.

The ajna process information in a this or that way. It weighs two or more options simultaneously. It can look at both the positives and negatives and construct arguments for both sides that are opposing to one another. This is why this center is so tricky to work with because it can convivence you either or. Remember the logical ajna is not here to make decisions it is here to simply process information. It will help make clear how many sides there are to consider but it cannot be trusted to make decision.

What definition is your ajna. Feel free to share in the comments.
