You will notice each type has a primary strategy when triggered in some way.

• The head center will try to figure things out and assess whether they and others can be trusted through their faculties of mental perception (a fearful response rooted in search for safety and security);
• The heart center will try to make a connection through the faculties of emotional intelligence (a deceptive response rooted in search for affection and esteem…the deception is the “shape shift” to create an image which facilitates connection)
• The belly center will try to get a sense of whether to go along or oppose through the faculties of instinct (an angry response rooted in a search for power and control over self or any other person or situation)
