The Seven Segments
The body, in Radix theory, is divided into seven discreet segments. When the energy flows harmoniously and smoothly through these segments, we know what we are feeling and can express ourselves clearly, without ambiguity. An example of incongruity between the segments is seen when the mouth is smiling but the eyes look dead, or when the heart tells us to do one thing and the mind another.

Anger and Love, Pain and Pleasure, Fear and Trust
Another key concept is that the experience and expression of oppositional feelings have a relationship in the body. Only when we can open to our anger can we allow ourselves to express love. When we can feel our pain we can let into pleasure. And we can begin to trust when we are ready to know our fear. When we hold back one emotion we block the capacity to fully experience its opposite. This is because the energy for both anger and love moves out from the core or centre of the body. When fear or trust is expressed, there is an inward movement towards the centre. And pain and pleasure both pulsate in each direction.

The Eyes or Ocular Segment
An important Radix concept is that the eyes are not only used for seeing and communicating but also connect us into our emotional life and our fantasies, visions, dreams and spirit. When we connect with our inner life, the Radix or life force is moving inwards. When it flows our eyes can express our feelings. We have all experienced 'cold anger' moving out from someone's eyes. When the inward and outward flow of the radix is balanced, we can know our visions and dreams and express them in the world.

Similarly the eyes directly influence our perceptions. When the radix flows unhindered through the eyes, our perceptions and actions are more in tune with our outer reality and inner experience
