Quotation Illustrating this Pole

Overleaf of the Michael Teaching

The Moving or kinesthetic or Kinetic Center is the third chakra and serves as the focal point of motion and thus activator of the physical body.  It is Ordinal in that it functions in a mechanical and foundational way for the human animal and need not provide a doorway for higher awareness.  In a behavioral sense, this person may have a great need to be in continual motion. And if circumstances allow it, that outlet might take the form of workaholism.

Pavlovian reactions are somewhat common for the Moving Center person especially early on. While most everyone reacts to a loud noise or something delicious on the stove, just like the dog in Pavlov’s experiment, the Moving Center person is likely to have a strong visceral response, not just say a memory or pleasant emotion.  This type of response is not limited to a Moving Center person, but this type of reaction originates within the Moving Center in everyone.

Associated with the primary focus of learning through sensation and movement. A favorite of many athletes this centering does not enhance one’s sporting performance per se’ just the likelihood that they will find an outlet in sports. Moving Center persons do not lack intelligence but rather their ability to comprehend is greatly enhanced when they can interact or do the task themselves. Touch is particularly important for the Moving Center person as is the need to “try it out for themselves.”

One feature of this centering is a bias toward flexibility: both physically and in options. The Moving Center presence might even be seen in someone who has a bit of a rubbery face or stretchy covering to their skin. It indicates this tendency in their actual physiognomy. When a person finds themselves in the negative pole of this center, they can be equally morose and hypertensive. Their is little in the way of a balancing point for them and as such their energy is scattered and erratic. Quite often, people here are stuck in a “act first, think later” cycle.

Essence chooses to focus a person’s learning through the Moving Center when it desires more experience living through the sensations of the body. Breathing techniques like those in yoga which combine exercises to gain awareness of the condition of one’s vehicle, can bring us closest to our animal selves and ground us in a way that brings us into the present moment. This state of being is the optimal way by which a person may align themselves for action and center themselves with clarity.  If a soul has been overly traumatized emotionally, or stuck in the ramblings of mental activities in prior lives, then choosing this Center aims to reorient the personality through the physical. Thus, he/she will have  a realistic sense of their physical energy and them an optimal sense of stamina given their Body Types, Soul Age, and Karmic augments.

Cultural Meaning

In the modern era, the Moving Center has taken two seemingly diametrically opposed stages: the beautiful and cut Adonis’s and Aphrodite’s, and the human body in decline  as a part least in use but most important to return awareness to.

The first reference of course, refers to the almost obscene attention paid to the physical form as a commodity and imagined as some pure form of health and superiority. Genetic engineering, cosmetic surgery, super diets, and the fitness industry are all off shoots of this cultural manifestation of Moving Center fixation.

On the other hand, and more significant to the vast community of human beings, the proliferation of knowledge-skills (those favoring the Intellectual Center) are fast becoming, in industrial countries at least, the predominant way we work for a living. Thus, unlike every other creature on Earth, our bodies face increasing disuse and atrophy in ways that affect our health care, quality of life, and the shrinking of sensory awareness. With machines replacing natural physical labor, (a good labor saving thing by most reckoning) it nonetheless diminishes most people’s access to natural exercise, making regulation of weight and other bodily systems stretched to the extreme. As virtual technology continues some futurists predict, the degree to which people will employ their bodies or have authentic sensory experiences will decline.  And as the song, 2525 reminds us, “Your arms are hanging limp at your sides, Your legs got not nothing to do. Some machine is doing that for you.”

The test of balance for human beings is to continue to be aware of the average use of the body and the homeostasis available when one partakes directly in the common body we all share: the playground of the Earth.

You might be Moving Centered if…

1. As a kid, you couldn’t sit still in class.
2. Learning for you was always best if you could do it yourself.
3. You like the feel of things in your hands.
4. If you are shopping, often the texture of something serves as a keen indicator of it’s qualities or desirability.
5. You feel an inordinate desire to move your body like dance, run, or stretch.
