Are you often feeling anxious about your future? Do you worry about things happening negatively or not going as you planned?
Anxiety is an unwanted worry about the future. It keeps us away from the immediate environment while worrying too much about things that may or may not occur in reality. Anxious thoughts put a strain on our mental and emotional well-being.
If you're looking to find the right ways to stop feeling anxious and understand what triggers anxiety in your mind, you must understand your "Ajna Center" in the Human Design Chart.
The Influence of the Ajna Center on Anxiety
The Ajna Center is an awareness center that deals with mental anxiety because it can help in deciding whether to take action toward accomplishing a goal.
When you have a defined Ajna center, as about 47% of the population does, you might have a great need to figure everything out first with ample research and information to do a certain task. They have to trust their ability to process their thoughts.
With an undefined Ajna, about 63% of the population having this center might deal with anxiety triggers frequently. They may put themselves under mental pressure, thinking they don't have the skills or experience to impact others. The mind will put them into different ideas, perspectives, and experiences of every scenario, leading to indecisiveness and complex thoughts.
Both of these centers can contribute to anxious thoughts. According to the Human Design BodyGraph, there are gates in the Ajna Center that play a major role in triggering mental anxiety and fears in the individual. Let's focus on each in detail below.
Gates in the Ajna Center that Trigger Anxious Thoughts and How to Overcome
There are six gates in the Ajna Center. Each one deals with a certain anxiety theme, and we will focus on its significance and the anxiety associated with each one of them.
Gate 47: The Gate of Realization; Fear of Futility; Anxiety About Purpose in Life
"Life is a gift, and your purpose will be revealed at the right time when you gracefully live every moment."
Defined Gate 47: If you have this gate defined, whether in the design or personality denoted by a red or black line, you may constantly put yourself under pressure to figure out your purpose in life.
Undefined Gate 47: If you have this gate undefined, you may not be able to realize your purpose and often must get insights from others to understand what's the right path for you. If you overthink too much about your value, it can often make you feel useless. This can trigger unwanted anxious thoughts related to feeling like a failure or not contributing in a valuable way.
Gate 24: The Gate of Rationalization, Fear of Ignorance, and Anxiety About Having No Experience
"Every tree grows from a seed. Trust that all the experience you need is inborn, and it will unfold as you grow."
Defined Gate 24: This gate helps individuals with rational clarity by bringing in deep thought in repetitive patterns, which might lead to breakthrough and transformation. If you have this gate defined, you must trust the process toward growth. Even if you can't see any visible results, you must understand that life will take you slowly forward by giving you both ups and downs.
Undefined Gate 24: When you have this gate undefined, there can be an addiction to thinking about everything excessively, leading to mental anxiety. When you start keeping your mind still in silence, you might reduce the unwanted fears and negative thoughts.
Gate 4: The Gate of Formulation; Fear of Chaos; Anxiety About Feeling Confused
"Life is a mystery, with plenty of questions arising daily. Logical thinking and perspective can solve only some of them, often leading to doubts and uncertainty."
Defined Gate 4: When you have this defined gate, you might feel pressure to find answers for everything and everyone. It might put you in constant confusion about different things that may not be necessary. Use this energy to explore new things in life with simple curiosity.
Undefined Gate 4: With this gate undefined, questions keep piling up with restlessness and fears of putting yourself and others into deep confusion and chaos. You're supposed to let your mind analyze the situation in different ways and trust that you will come up with the right solutions at the right time.
Gate 17: The Gate of Opinions; Fear of Challenge; Anxiety About Getting Questioned
"It’s natural for humans to have their own opinions on things and situations, irrespective of their perspective. Stand up for something you believe in, even if you must stand alone."
Defined Gate 17: When you have this gate defined, you might be prone to processing several insights and concepts using your logical mind. The anxiety can stem from a constant need to organize your opinions on several topics and impact others in the future correctly.
Undefined Gate 17: When you have this gate defined, you might feel challenged to share your opinions confidently with others. There can be anxious thoughts because you feel judged and misunderstood about your opinions.
Gate 43: The Gate of Insight; Fear of Rejection; Anxiety About Being Ignored
"When you're born to be different, you must be courageous enough to face both the positive and negative projections of yourself and your thoughts."
Defined Gate 43: When you have Gate 43 defined, you must develop confidence in your thoughts and sudden insights you get out of nowhere. There can be insights that come purely from listening to your inner voice. The anxiety comes from blurting out your insights prematurely and scaring people away.
Undefined Gate 43: When you have this gate undefined, you might pay attention to your rebellious thoughts and creative spurs that might look too outlandish. The anxiety can be because of the fear of getting rejected or ignored for your unique thoughts and ideas. The more you learn to be that creative rebel and acknowledge your mind before others, the less anxious you will be.
Gate 11: The Gate of Ideas; Fear of Darkness; Anxiety about Not Having Hope
"Humans are capable of generating an ocean of ideas every minute of their lives. However, knowing when and what to share becomes crucial."
Defined Gate 11: With a defined gate 11, you will have plenty of ideas about new and existing things in the world. Imagination and obsessing about new ideas can give rise to extreme anxiety and mental pressure.
Undefined Gate 11: With an undefined gate 11, you might find it difficult to think and express new ideas effectively. There can be doubt, confusion, hesitation, and a lack of time to process and formulate ideas.
