Understanding the 9 Human Design Energy Centers | Episode 16
What are the human design centers?
In this episode of Rewild by Design, Marissa explores the nine energy centers in Human Design through a real-life lens.
Instead of treating the centers as abstract concepts, the conversation focuses on how they influence day-to-day experiences like pressure, emotions, identity, energy levels, and decision-making. Marissa also explains how the nine-center system evolved from the traditional seven-chakra model and why that shift matters when you’re paying closer attention to your inner world.
This episode covers:
How defined and undefined centers tend to feel in daily life
The not-self questions that show up through each center
What consistency offers and what sensitivity teaches
Working With Your Centers:
The goal of this episode is awareness. When you start noticing where you push, absorb, or override your energy, you gain more choice in how you respond. Marissa also touches on how the Quantum Alignment system pairs naturally with the nine centers as another way to work with energy in a grounded, practical way.
