An Introduction to the Vritti model

Yellow Personalities > The Ones Who Blend in With Others

They are easy-going and emotionally stable, known for their openness, patience, and serene demeanor. Their peaceful presence reassures others in tense situations, and they are reliable friends who listen with empathy and without judgment. They excel at bringing harmony to group dynamics, often serving as mediators who resolve conflicts and create unity.
Yellow Personalities view the world as interconnected, striving to foster understanding and connection among people and ideas. Optimistic by nature, they believe in the goodness of others and hope for positive outcomes.
When balanced, they actively work to maintain harmony while addressing challenges constructively. However, when out of balance, they may become overly passive, avoiding conflict and hoping problems will resolve on their own. Their tendency to suppress anger or frustration can lead to unexpected emotional outbursts when their feelings are ignored for too long.

Path to Balance > Yellow

Intention: I intend to be in harmony and see peace established in the world.
Focus: I focus on what promotes harmony and consensus.
Traps: I often give the false impression of not having an opinion, staying silent to avoid conflict, even when it means allowing outcomes that go against my true desires. In trying to accommodate everyone, I risk diluting my own perspective, favoring what others want over what I truly need. I can lose my audience by over-explaining the nuances of differing viewpoints, trying so hard to harmonize that I fail to assert a clear stance. I may also avoid directly expressing disagreement and, as a result, neglect to take action on things I actually support, prioritizing peace over authenticity.
Development Tracks: I recognize that my attempts to maintain peace by avoiding conflicts and problems often lead to greater disruption in my life and relationships. My reluctance to address disagreements directly can unintentionally create tension, as others may feel unheard or frustrated with my lack of engagement. I realize that true harmony with others begins with reconciling with myself—acknowledging my own needs, desires, and feelings. Constantly accommodating others at the expense of my own voice ultimately weakens relationships rather than strengthening them. I am learning that assertiveness is not an act of aggression but a positive way to create genuine peace and harmony. By expressing myself honestly and respectfully, I can foster deeper connections and ensure everyone’s needs, including my own, are valued.

Others' Perception > Yellow

What others apprehend: Their lack of direct expression of opinions, time management that is not always effective and a certain slowness in decision-making; difficulty in dealing with conflict and a tendency towards passive resistance.
