The Center
The place of integration and transformation
As you near the very center of the Wheel, it may begin to feel a place of mystery and paradox where positive and negative merge and create new stories.
The experience of the Center differs from person to person and time to time. It is totally subjective, and yours to define for yourself. You may experience opposites, oneness, and integration.
You may experience extraordinary light and lightness of being. You may find yourself communing profoundly with your partner and with yourself.
It’s a place of clarity and vision, of vastness, and the possibility of unconditional love.
…and the shadow side, when sex falls apart
Where the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual experience meet.
Shadow side of the Center — the experience of pain and repression of pain, the feared, and the unexplored.
The agony of despair, the terror of sexual violence and abuse, the burden of shame, guilt, loneliness, isolation, and dysfunction.
This quadrant is the place of dissociation, as well as of association.
