The Circuits

Every channel on the BodyGraph belongs to a circuit, and every circuit belongs to one of three families: Individual, whose keynote is empowerment; Collective, whose keynote is sharing; and Tribal, whose keynote is support. A fourth structure, the Integration Channel, stands on its own. Count which families your defined channels fall into and you have a picture of how you are built to relate to everyone else.

Each page below names the channels in that circuit, lights them up on the BodyGraph, and explains what it is like to carry that circuitry, and what it is like to have none of it.

All 7 Circuits

The Integration Channel

Outside the three circuit groups. Keynote: Self-Empowerment

The Integration Channel is the oldest wiring in the BodyGraph and the only circuitry that stands outside the three circuit groups.

The Knowing Circuit

Individual Circuit Group. Keynote: Empowerment

The Knowing Circuit is the larger of the two circuits in the Individual Circuit Group, and it is the source of everything genuinely new that enters the world through a human being.

The Centering Circuit

Individual Circuit Group. Keynote: Empowerment

The Centering Circuit is the smaller of the two Individual circuits, just two channels arranged around the G Center, and it is the circuitry of loving yourself enough to live your own way.

The Understanding Circuit

Collective Circuit Group. Keynote: Sharing

The Understanding Circuit, also called the Logic Circuit, is one of the two circuits in the Collective Circuit Group.

The Sensing Circuit

Collective Circuit Group. Keynote: Sharing

The Sensing Circuit, also called the Abstract Circuit, is the second of the two Collective circuits and the mirror image of the Understanding Circuit.

The Defense Circuit

Tribal Circuit Group. Keynote: Support

The Defense Circuit is the smaller of the two Tribal circuits and the most fundamental piece of wiring in the whole chart, because it is the circuitry that keeps the species going.

The Ego Circuit

Tribal Circuit Group. Keynote: Support

The Ego Circuit is the larger of the two Tribal circuits and the one that runs the material world.
