What Is Sacral Authority?

There is wisdom inherent in all things and our knowing of it comes through our bodies. Not through our heads, as we’ve traditionally been taught to believe, but from deep within our bodies.
Your Authority is how you are designed to make decisions.
This knowing helps us navigate our lives. It lets us know which invitations to respond to, which projects to create, how to help our children and in any area it appears a choice needs to be made. The inner wisdom already knows. Our Authority is the way we access that already known wisdom.
Sacral Authority
Take a look at your Human Design Chart.
If the area you can see here is coloured in, and the triangle to the right of it is white, that means you are a sacral being with Sacral Authority.
Emotional Authority
Please note, if you have both the Sacral AND the Emotional Solar Plexus defined, as in this image, please read this article instead.
You have a wonderful gift in this defined sacral of yours.
Listen to her. She is your inner guide. The source of your intuition and knowing.
She responds through sounds - Uh-huh and Un-unh - and gives an answer to any yes/no question in the now.
‘In the now’ being key. If you are a sacral being, you are a Generator or Manifesting Generator and this is where your strategy of ‘wait to respond’ comes into play. You see, we have no idea what will be drawn into our worlds and no idea how the sacral will respond. It’s a minute by minute thing. Read more about the Generator strategy here and the Manifesting Generator strategy here.
She will help you take the right next step and is the way the intelligence behind the universe lets itself be known to you.
Need to make a decision? Ask a friend/coach to ask you yes/no questions but make sure to answer with the .Uh-huh and Un-unh sounds, rather than 'yes' and 'no'.
(The exception to this is if you have the gates 34 and 20 connected with a channel in your chart. That channel is so fast that 'yep' 'nope' and the first thing that comes out of your mouth will likely replace the Uh-huh and Un-unh)
For example:
Would you like to go out today?
Will you take on this new project?
Is now the right time?
Do you have the energy required?
Are you frightened?
Do you know what to do about that
Could this wait?
is it time to quit?
The answer is in the now. A no today might be a yes tomorrow.
The answer will often suprise your head, which will then try to argue with the answer that is expressed. That's normal - the mind will give you a conditioned response. Not a truthful one.
The mind will tell you that you need to make plans, that ‘show up and respond to what shows up’ is not enough. It will tell you fear-filled stories of what might happen if you let go of the idea of control. Because that’s what it is; simply an unquestioned thought, this illusion of control.
What happens if you follow the sacral guidance, no matter what the head says? Can you trust her?
Find out for yourself. This is the experiment.
