Welcome back to the Human Design Parenting Podcast! In this episode, we explore the Ajna Center—the upside-down triangle in the upper third of the Human Design Bodygraph. Often colored green, the Ajna Center is where our thoughts, ideas, inspirations, and beliefs are processed and conceptualized into plans. But here’s the twist: your mind is NOT meant to make your decisions.
🎧 Whether you’re a Human Design newbie or seasoned reader, a parent trying to understand your child’s mental patterns, or someone navigating your own open or defined Ajna—this episode is for you.
