One of the most misunderstood and Conditioned Energy centers in Human Design - The Head/Crown Center 👑
As the center of mental pressure, it’s the place where questions, doubts, and inspiration arise, often overwhelming us with thoughts that don’t serve our purpose. 70% of the population has this undefined (white) creating difficulties in managing mental pressure.
Let's explore how this center impacts your life and I'll share my personal experience with deconditioning this center, offering insights to help you break free from unnecessary mental clutter 🤯
So We're all on the same page about the basics of this center...
The Head/Crown is all about inspiration and mental pressure, but its not-self theme can trap us in a cycle of answering questions that don’t matter.
Many people feel the need to resolve everyone’s doubts and confusion, even when it isn’t their job!
Deconditioning from this pressure means learning to discern which questions are truly yours to answer 💥
Check out my post to see this in a different way.
Shadows in the Head Center
Each of the three Gates in the Crown holds shadows that can cloud your thinking:
Gate 61 (Psychosis): Obsessing over things that can’t be understood.
Gate 64 (Confusion): The fog of not knowing.
Gate 63 (Doubt): Constantly questioning everything.
Deconditioning these gates involves recognizing when you’re stuck in their shadow expressions. By doing so, you allow these gates to function in their highest potential — offering profound insights instead of mental distortion.

And if you're still not clear on what deconditioning is, you can learn how I describe it by watching this video.
Avoiding Mental Burnout
Recently, I caught myself trying to answer a question that wasn’t meant for me (not-self). There was no invitation or recognition, yet I felt the urge to solve it (mental pressure). Thankfully, I stopped, realizing that it was not mine to answer, my energy to hold onto and would only drain my energy, leading to mental burnout.
This simple awareness saved me from exhaustion and allowed me to stay focused on what truly matters. I got to feel Success (my Signature Theme) instead of Bitterness (my Not-Self Theme as a Projector).
The more you build your awareness to recognize these moments, the easier it becomes to protect your energy and make decisions in alignment with your Human Design.
I want to share a message with you...
As a business owner, giving into mental pressure is one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced. Doing this deconditioning practice has shown me just how much I've allowed mental pressure to take over my life 🤯
Often, I’ve caught myself trying to solve problems that weren’t mine, or pushing myself into burnout by taking on more than I could mentally handle. If you’re like me, deconditioning this pattern is crucial to avoid mental exhaustion and stay aligned with your purpose.
Tip: The next time you feel overwhelmed by pressure, pause and ask if the task or question is really yours to answer. "Is this my question to answer? Am I trying to answer everyone else's questions, or questions that don't matter?"

Practice for Checking in with your crown
Ask yourself:
Do I really need to answer these questions?
Are they mine to answer?
Does answering this actually matter?
This mental clarity is essential to maintaining your energy and focus.
Deconditioning the Head/Crown Center is a journey of learning to release mental pressure that does not belong to you. I encourage you to start asking yourself these questions and begin the process of clearing your mind for only the thoughts and questions that truly matter to your unique design.
REMEMBER: This. Is. A. Practice.
If you're ready to dive deeper into your own deconditioning process, I’d love to guide you along your journey!
