Open centres: why you feel other people’s emotions (and pressure) so strongly

You leave a family dinner carrying everyone’s mood home with you. Or you catch yourself rushing the day before a deadline that isn’t even yours. On your , moments like these often have an address: a centre left white. Here is what an does, why it has nothing to do with weakness, and how to spot yours on your own chart in one click.

White does not mean empty

Your has nine centres. The coloured ones are defined: a complete channel links each of them to another centre, and they work the same way whoever you are with. The rest stay white.

A white centre produces no fixed energy of its own. It takes in the energy of the people around you, and it amplifies it. That is why a friend’s frustration can hit you harder than it seems to hit them: you receive it, then you feel it bigger. It is also why it fades once you are alone again.

None of this is a flaw. A sends out the same signal, all the time. An receives, and it receives widely: that is where you pick up the most nuance in other people. The only trap is mistaking what you pick up for who you are. The 9 Energy Centres sets out the basics, and Definition explains what colours a centre in.

A always sends out the same energy. A white centre takes in other people’s energy and amplifies it.

Check it right now: calculate your chart and click a white centre. Even without a subscription, the window that opens tells you whether it is “open” or “defined”. The “Centres” tab of the analysis, available from the Essentiel plan, then walks you through all nine, one by one.

Open or undefined: with or without gates

On rosmaryn.app, “open”, “undefined” and “not defined” all mean the same thing: a centre left white. Without a subscription, the click window says “open”; with the Essentiel plan it says “Undefined”, like the Centres tab. There is no hidden difference between the words.

The difference that matters is what the white centre contains:

  • Undefined, with . One or more of the centre’s gates are activated in your chart. You can see them by their coloured dot and by the half channel that leaves the centre and stops midway. These are : the centre stays white, but what comes in tends to come through those themes, always the same ones, and meeting someone who carries the gate at the other end completes the channel.
  • Completely open, with no at all. No dot, no line. Nothing fixed comes in: you pick up the whole range of the centre, and it shifts with whoever is around.

In the click window, the line “Your active here” only appears in the first case. If it is missing, your centre is completely open. With the Essentiel plan, the window spells it out.

Three moments you will recognise

At dinner: the Solar Plexus

The conversation is easy, then one guest turns tense. None of their story is yours, and still the air thickens for you too: you talk faster, or you go quiet. On the way home, the tension drops all at once. With a white Solar Plexus, that is exactly the mechanics: the other person’s emotion comes in, grows, then leaves with them. It said nothing about your evening.

Before a deadline: the Root

Your work is done and your own due date has not moved. But the team is scrambling to deliver, and suddenly you are ticking off tasks at full speed without knowing where the urgency came from. The Root is a . When it is white, it takes in the drive to act that is going around the room and turns it up. A useful marker: ask whose deadline it really is.

A question that keeps spinning: the Head

A friend talks you through a dilemma: take the new job or stay put. They hang up feeling lighter, and you are the one still turning it over that night, and the next day. The Head is the other , the one that pushes to understand. Open, it picks up the questions going around you and gives them volume. The dilemma is still your friend’s, even when it fills your whole head.

In all three cases, nothing gets fixed by shutting anything out: your does not change, and the centre will stay white. What changes is noticing the moment you are picking something up.

The nine open centres at a glance

Each white centre picks up something different. The table follows the order of the Centres tab, and each name leads to the full page for that centre, open to Essentiel members.

Centre What it picks up around you Where you might notice it
Head Pressure to think, questions in the air After a hectic meeting, your mind keeps circling topics that were never on your list
Ajna Certainties and opinions Next to someone very sure of themselves, you adopt their view, then drop it the next day
Throat The urge to speak and be heard In a quiet group, you catch yourself filling the silence
G Center A sense of identity and direction taken from places and people Your drive changes with where you are and who is there with you
Heart / Ego Willpower and the urge to commit You say yes to a carried by someone else’s enthusiasm
Sacral Other people’s working energy and momentum In a very busy team, you find a momentum that fades as soon as you are on your own
Solar Plexus Everyone’s emotions and moods At dinner, one guest’s tension becomes yours
Spleen Centre The sense of safety or unease in the room Next to someone calm, you feel at ease; next to someone worried, you start worrying too
Root Pressure to act, urgency Before a deadline, the team’s rush makes you speed up

Practise on two contrasting charts

Two Projectors, two nearly opposite charts. Open the page for Mick Jagger: Projector 1/3, only two coloured centres, the G Center and . The other seven are white.

Look at his Heart / Ego: no dot, no line, a completely . Move down to the : white as well, but two are active there, 37 and 49. That is an undefined centre with gates.

Mick Jagger’s Body Graph: the G Center and the Throat coloured and circled in gold, the Heart with no gates and the Solar Plexus with gates 37 and 49 circled in blue
Mick Jagger, Projector 1/3: two . In blue, a completely (the Heart) and an undefined centre with two (the ).

Then switch to Jodie Foster: Projector 3/5, seven and only two white ones, the and Centre. Both carry active : 14, 29 and 59 in the Sacral, 44 and 48 in the Spleen Centre.

Jodie Foster’s Body Graph: seven coloured centres, the white Sacral and Spleen Centre circled in blue, channel 37-40 circled in gold
Jodie Foster, Projector 3/5: seven , two white ones with . In gold, channel 37-40, which colours in her .

The detail that makes it click: gate 37 in the is active on both charts. In Jodie Foster’s chart, gate 40 at the other end, in the Heart, is active too: channel 37-40 is complete and colours both centres. In Mick Jagger’s chart, the Heart has no : 37 stays dormant, and the Solar Plexus stays white.

Same Type, yet seven white centres on one side and two on the other. depends on what your connect, not on how many centres are white, and that number measures no kind of worth: it only shows where each person picks things up. Your turn: count your white centres, then click each one to see whether it carries .

Key takeaway: a white centre is neither empty nor weak. It takes in what comes from other people and amplifies it. With , it receives through fixed themes; with no gates at all, it is completely open. One click on your chart tells you which one you have.
