NOTE: This article can be used along with the "Measures of P.E.A.C.E." assessment tool to help you reach greater clarity about your life situation.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SACRAL MOTOR
The sacral motor is the most powerful motor in the body. Manifesting Generators and Generators have a defined sacral. If you have a red square on the bottom of your Human Design chart then you are a Manifesting Generator or a Generator. The sacral motor is designed to respond to life. The Generator and Manifesting Generator strategy is to wait for things to show up in life and then respond to them.

The sacral motor is the navigation tool that allows the Generator and Manifesting Generator to make powerful life choices with clarity and correctness. Just like a car needs a key to turn it on, the sacral motor is turned on by two sounds. These two sounds are sounds that many of us, especially if you were raised in the South, have had conditioned out of us. The sounds are "uh-huh" (indicating "yes") and "un-un" (indicating "no"). Think about this for a moment. Imagine two small generator children having a fight over a toy. What do they say to each other?

"Uh-huh! Un-un! Uh-huh! Un-un! Uh-huh! Un-un! Uh-huh! Un-un!"

Now imagine those same two children fighting and saying "yes" and "no". The words "yes" and "no" do not carry the same degree of power as the sounds "uh-huh" and "un-un". We lose our power as Generators and Manifesting Generators when we don't use our sacral sounds, and instead try to make decisions from the mind.

Through responding with the sacral motor, Generators and Manifesting Generators can reach a deep level of self-awareness and truth about themselves in that moment. The sacral motor never lies, although it can reveal answers that can be disconcerting to the mind at times; it is true in the present moment though it can sometimes change its response at a later time or as a person's life circumstances evolve.

Generators and Manifesting Generators can reach clarity simply by having someone sit down and ask them "yes or no" questions. By using the sacral sounds in response to these questions the generator can learn the truth about themselves and their life. It is an amazing process that can help the generator know themselves and their truth in the midst of mental confusion.

Kyle and I created the Measures of Peace tool to help people gain awareness about major life issues and circumstances. This tool can help people decide what they may want to change or move out the way in their life in order to make room for something better, and it can also help you set intentions to guide you in creating a more satisfying reality. In order to help generators and manifesting generators gain clarity, I have set the Measures of Peace tool up as a series of questions that you respond to with your sacral sounds. Remember that the sacral sounds will be your truth in the moment.

For those listening to the audio version of this session, in just a minute, I am going to ask you a series of questions about your life. I want you to respond with your sacral sounds. I'll ask a few warm up questions first just to get you comfortable with your sounds. Sit back, get comfortable in your chair and close your eyes. Remember that these questions are designed to help you know your truth. Love yourself no matter what your answer is. There are no right or wrong answers.

I will ask each question and then leave a moment of silence for you to respond. (If you are using the written version, you can ask yourself these questions out loud, or have someone else ask them so that you can close your eyes and respond naturally.)

CONCLUSION
These are just a sample of questions to help you learn about yourself and how to use your sacral motor. If you would like to print a copy of Measures of Peace, go to the articles and ideas page at www.joyfulmission.com and click on the "P.E.A.C.E. Process" link. Again, this tool is to help you gain awareness. Awareness is the first step in transforming your life. Love yourself no matter how you answered these questions.

If you have a brown triangle on the far right of your Design chart then you are "emotionally defined". Emotionally defined individuals will experience emotional waves that vary in intensity and duration. If you are emotionally defined, your truth can change depending on where you are in your emotional wave.

The purpose of emotional waves is to help you examine an issue from different emotional perspectives and gain clarity from these varying perspectives. You must allow yourself to answer these questions at different times in your emotional wave so you can understand yourself on a deeper level. So check back periodically and listen to the sacral questions to see which answers change and which ones stay the same.

I hope these questions have helped you know yourself a little better. If you are ready to make powerful changes in your life I encourage you to pursue the Transformational Coaching process. In the meantime, take care of yourself and do something
