Head Center — one of the nine energy centers in Human Design. An open Head center absorbs the mental pressure of those around you — their questions, anxieties, and intellectual stimuli. You may feel compelled to answer questions that don't actually concern you. Others unconsciously offload their mental dilemmas onto you. Your openness allows you to draw inspiration from many sources and to recognize which questions are truly worth exploring. You can become a wise filter between anxiety and genuine insight.
