HOW CAN I FEEL MORE AT EASE IN THE WORLD?

Before we can feel at ease with the world we need to feel at ease with ourselves. Being at ease with self involves feeling physically well, emotionally balanced, and intellectually engaged. Being at ease with self involves accepting oneself as is. Being at ease with self means truly caring for who we are. It means we love ourselves, always, and no matter what!

If we want to make changes, we start from where we are. We do not criticize or put ourselves down. I cannot overstate how important it is to feel well in the body before you can feel at ease with anything. That means plenty of rest and eating the foods that support you. It is so important to rest your nervous system. This means staying away from conflict and negative thoughts. This means that your relationships are mutually respectful and supportive.

When we feel at ease with ourselves, we are available to be of service. Then we can do our part to change the world. Most importantly, living righteous lives will help us feel at ease with the world. Righteous lives seek the greater good for all, but never to the exclusion of self. A righteous life has an open heart, but is never a victim. A righteous life means that you believe in yourself and believe that all beings have a right to thrive.

BRINGING YOUR DESIGN TO LIGHT

Think of these intentions as written on a giant “canvas” nurtured inside the boundless consciousness of the Universe which can never be captured by a single interpretative modality or combination of modalities. The breadth of that evolutionary field does not appear to have an end, and its beginnings are enveloped in mystery.

Twin charts, and the charts of triplets and quintuplets, are great ways to deepen our understanding of how Human Design functions in the real-time, real lives of human beings. This is because of the fascinating phenomenon that no two charts of the same birth date, time, and place will ever express in the same ways. Why is that? Keep reading!

Our Design describes how our energy is meant to flow. It shows us our best tools for applying our energy, choosing appropriately, where our greatest strengths are, and what we will be drawn to. The direction in which our energy flows is intended to show us where and how to carry out our life plan and soul purpose. That is because our energy naturally flows towards what we are supposed to be doing, being, and learning.

Our Design energies express through our creativity, how we relate to others, how we find our place in the world, the kinds of vocations that interest us, and how we find meaning and fulfillment. In other words, our Design is the map of the path that will lead to the highest expression of our purpose. Above all, your Design is intended to serve your continuing evolution.

But the Chart is not the Soul.  Your Human Design is not your Soul.

Although the themes of twin charts, fraternal or identical, are the same, they will be expressed differently through each twin. All of us are born with our own agenda, or soul contract. In addition, we are all impacted by multiple influences besides our Human Design. Our psychology, astrology, numerology, sociology, genetics, and upbringing, are just a few of the additional influences you bring to your Human Design. Even twins raised in the same family will not have the same perceptions or experiences. Understand also that each part of the Human Design chart has a significant range for how it can express, from lower (reactive, lacking self-awareness) to higher (awareness of why the self has particular responses, and also how acting on those affects the well-being of self and others), as well as an assortment of ways from which each part’s attributes can express. Every person chooses, with awareness or not, how they will express their Design.

Most importantly, we each have a unique soul trajectory that describes where we’ve been and who we’ve been, including how we have treated others, how others have treated us, and how we may have impacted collective history, for good or ill.

Our soul history affects the purpose and direction of our current lives. In other words, the dharma, or life purpose which we incarnated to express and explore, and the karma we came to restore, is influenced by our previous lives. Karma is inevitable, as all actions must be brought to balance. Dharma is necessarily woven into the fabric of our lives. This is because the direction of the Universe evolves towards higher consciousness. Higher consciousness is about unity; it is not about exclusion. Exclusion always results in imbalance, inequity, suffering, and the continuing creation of karma. The agreements or soul contracts we’ve made assist us to connect to our dharma and bring us to the karmas that seek resolution. 

Your life is part of an unimaginably complex tapestry woven into the much larger intentions of an evolutionary field that spans the personal to the collective and beyond. Think of these intentions as written on a giant “canvas” nurtured inside the incomprehensibly boundless consciousness of the Universe. That consciousness can never be captured by a single interpretative modality or combination of modalities. The breadth of that evolutionary field does not appear to be measurable and its beginnings are enveloped in mystery.

The bottom line with how any Design will express has everything to do with the Soul that took it on for that lifetime. Again, souls are at different stages in their evolution — we have different histories; some longer, some shorter. Some of us are younger souls; some are older. All of these influence the unique goals (dharma) and different obligations (karma) for your life. As you become more aware of who you are and what you came here to do, your discernment about what choices are correct for you also increases.  

These reasons, although not comprehensive, are why someone who has the same exact Design as you will, by the time they reach maturity, have a life that looks very different from yours.

What does this mean for the value of Human Design as a tool for self-discovery?

Because different people can be born with the same chart, does it render our Design meaningless? Does it mean that we can’t use our Human Design to identify our uniqueness and our purpose and use it to help us anchor into that purpose? Of course not.

You are the one who brings your Design to life.

Your Design already gives you a great deal of information. It will point you in the direction that you should go. Then it is up to you, as the unique individual soul who is “wearing” that Design, to bring it to light in the way that only you (your soul) intended. You are far more than your Human Design, but you are going to use that Design to find YOUR path and YOUR purpose.

Think of these intentions as written on a giant “canvas” nurtured inside the boundless consciousness of the Universe which can never be captured by a single interpretative modality or combination of modalities. The breadth of that evolutionary field does not appear to have an end, and its beginnings are enveloped in mystery. Even if you don’t believe that the Soul creates intentions, or that your soul has a trajectory comprised of previous lives, you will nevertheless be compelled to live your life by virtue of the yearnings that are unique to you and that drive you to create an authentic life.

I leave you with this: follow your Soul’s (or your authentic) intentions because therein lies the direction for your life.

IT’S NO USE!


IT’S NO USE! This remark comes from grief, from loss, from failure to change things so that life is better. Perhaps you feel that you’ve lost so much you can never fully recover. Perhaps you are resigned to things as they are.

And perhaps you have supportive friends who don’t blame you for feeling that way. They may even commiserate with you and together you find solace in ‘this is just the way it is, how things are, how life is.’

But if you want to have the energy you need to live your life, if you are not ready to give in to things as they are, then a shift in what you believe to be true is needed. It is time to rebuild your life from a new perspective and strategy.

Instead of being resigned to things as they are, surrender to them. In addition, let go of judging yourself for unfortunate decisions made in the past. See them for what they are — why you made them at the time, and what you now know not to do.

Resignation believes things cannot ever get better. Therefore, there is no incentive to dust off your creative capacities to change things. Surrender, on the other hand, does not resist. When you surrender, you are available to see the possibilities and the openings, subtle as they might be, for you to begin to move out of your situation. Surrender to what is as you begin to create what will be.

It is true that we cannot always just walk away. But we can begin to change our lives by believing that we are in charge of our destiny and that we are the ones who have the power, the real power, to redirect our lives. This may not appear to be anywhere near the truth, especially if we perceive that we are permanently caught inside a situation that is far larger and stronger than we are.

And if we accept that, and do not push back, that will be the case. Forever.

The way out is to take a ferocious stand for your life. Decide that the only thing that matters now is taking back your life. Feel into the desires of your heart, mind, and body for the future you want to bring in. Embody these desires by making every choice in service to the future, to the life you want to be living, to how you want to look and feel, to the people you want around you, to the experiences you want to have.

From here on out, every decision you make, from the most apparently insignificant to far more important ones, must be in service to your best interests — to you. Not to or for someone else. YOU ARE WRITING YOURSELF INTO A NEW STORY. Even if you have dependents, whether they are human or animal or other, you will serve them best when you are at your best. Now is always the time to let go of conditioning and programs that riddle you with guilt around who you are supposed to be in the world, what you are supposed to be doing, how you should live, how much money you should have, how you should look, to name a few, in order to be worthy, acceptable, righteous, obedient, humble, a good citizen, etc.

The only way to break out of conditioning and all the habits that are designed to undermine your flourishing is to take this stand for your life. You may never have done this, so now you may need to find your courage. You may wonder how exactly does one take a stand for their life. Begin by choosing you. Begin by saying yes to what calls you. You may not be able to leave your job right away, but you can uplevel your joy with things and activities that uplift, by focusing on what raises your vibration and getting rid of what brings you down. You may not be able to move a lot of territory initially, but the more pieces you move on your behalf, the more the energy stream will flow faster. Every single small action that you perform on your behalf, on behalf of the life you truly want to live, will have a cumulative effect towards bringing in a future that supports, values, and honors you. This is a law of energetics — where you put your attention and focus is what you will grow. Believe that there is no greater cause than yourself, that there is no more sacred purpose than the life you came to live. This is YOUR life; it belongs to you. You are responsible for it.

Have compassion for yourself. Have patience with the process. There will be days when you feel you have failed. The thing is to get back up and keep going.

Say YES to YOU. Forgive your past. Love your now.

This is yours to do, and you can do this.

There is so much more to come. 

To LIFE!

INDELIBLE MARKERS

The prevailing cultural paradigm — the one that says you’re basically worthless unless you look like this and have status, money, and power, awards, achievements, accolades, acknowledgment, and recognition — is harsh for many of us.

Let us remember that this is a place, of limitation. L I M I T A T I O N. Because things are palpable here, and because actions have consequences, and choice always has results, the tendency for consciousness-in-a-body is to seek the most supportive ways of receiving positive recognition, safety, and security.

Being physical can be wonderful if our physical needs are met.  When we have  money, education, a great place to live, a great job, satisfying relationships, life is good.  It is when our needs are NOT met that we feel undeserving and worthless, and we wonder why it is that we do not have the support that ensures we will have meaningful and important lives. And yet, when  circumstances give us pause, we may discover the potential for inner wealth.

Some say the world is incontrovertibly made up of winners and losers. And if you’re a loser, well…make better choices next time, honey. And if you want to get right down to it, why did you pick that weak body? Did you think you’d get more sympathy that way, or maybe just get out of some of the really hard work the rest of us have had to put in to get where we are…what WERE you thinking? Well, good luck to you. Or better luck next time, but I have a life to live, a yacht to sail, and some VIPs to meet for drinks. Well, have a good one. Get some beauty rest or treatments. Or something!

Wait a minute. Are you saying that I have to earn my worthiness or right to be here, and that the only way to do this is to go to the best schools, wear the best clothes, have an Ivy League degree, and have abundant cash flow? Are you saying that if I don’t have the right stuff that I might as well slide under a rock, curl up in a ball, and wait for death to take me?

If this is the truth that many live with, then perhaps that is their personal truth. But it is not mine. I have a different take on things. The life I have lived veers from the mainstream because my life task and soul agenda have led me on an exploration of a lesser traveled path.  I am not alone in this.

Everyone has limitations. Limitations differ, and they can differ so vastly as to create confusion and cause angst-driven issues of viability, survivability, and worthiness so that we are compelled to stand up or fall down.

What is apparent is not necessarily what is. What is – is your experience of life. How you live it, what you make of it. THIS IS YOUR LIFE. How you understand the purpose of your life and the actions you take to express that will be driven by the gifts, insights, and meanings that you make for yourself.

While we are connected, we are also diverse. We are none of us the same. We are deeply unique and individual, and what we have to offer is unique.

Not everyone came here to get an MBA or PhD or become an Olympic athlete. Not everyone came here to invest in real estate or to facilitate corporate mergers or lead tours in Europe. Not everyone can sing opera. Not everyone is an artist. Not everyone expresses fluently. Not everyone gets, or seeks, attention. Some of us are gardeners. Some of us save cats. Some of us just live quiet lives and lend a hand when we can. But all of us are invited — no, compelled — to engage the journey of our soul. Each soul is indelible and each life matters. Each one leaves markers from their journey that instruct and inform others where the pitfalls and bridges are found.
