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 oneself means feeling physically well, emotionally balanced, and intellectually engaged. It means accepting ourselves as we are. It means truly caring for who we are. It means loving 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 avoiding conflict and negative thoughts. This means your relationships are mutually respectful and supportive.

When we feel at ease with ourselves, we are available to serve. Then we can do our part to make a positive change in 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 believing in yourself and recognizing that all beings have the right to thrive.

BRINGING YOUR DESIGN TO LIGHT

Twin, triplet, and quintuplet charts deepen our understanding of how Human Design uniquely manifests in real life. Even with identical charts from the same birth moment, each individual expresses their Design differently. This unique expression is at the heart of Human Design’s value. Why does this happen? Keep reading!

Our Design, as defined by our unique Human Design chart, describes how our energy is meant to flow. It shows us our best tools for applying our energy, making appropriate choices, identifying our greatest strengths, and what we will be drawn to. The direction our energy flows is meant to show us where and how to carry out our life plan and soul purpose. This is because our energy naturally flows toward what we are meant to do, be, and learn.

Our Design energies express themselves through our creativity, our relationships with others, our sense of place in the world, the vocations that interest us, and how we find meaning and fulfillment. In other words, our Design is the map that leads to the highest expression of our purpose. Above all, your Design is intended to serve your ongoing evolution.

However, the Chart is not the Soul. Human Design offers a framework for understanding our energy, but core individuality extends beyond the chart. This distinction is essential to Human Design’s purpose: to illuminate your unique expression rather than prescribe a uniform outcome.

Although twin charts—whether fraternal or identical—share themes, each twin expresses them uniquely. Each person is born with a unique agenda or soul contract. Many influences beyond Human Design shape us, including psychology, astrology, numerology, sociology, genetics, and upbringing, to name a few. Even twins in the same family perceive things differently. Each part of the Human Design chart has a range of expression, from reactive (lacking awareness) to aware (understanding responses and their impact). Everyone, consciously or not, chooses how to 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’ve treated others, how others have treated us, and how we may have affected collective history, for better or worse.

Our soul history shapes 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 (karma meaning the law of cause and effect, where past actions influence current experiences) are influenced by our previous lives. Karma is inevitable, as all actions must be brought into balance. Dharma is necessarily woven into the fabric of our lives.

This is because the Universe’s direction evolves toward higher consciousness. Higher consciousness is about unity, not exclusion. Exclusion always creates imbalance, inequity, suffering, and ongoing karma. The agreements or soul contracts we’ve made help us connect to our dharma and lead us to the karmas that seek resolution.

Your life is woven into a complex tapestry of evolutionary intentions, spanning from the personal to the collective. This field is nurtured within the boundless consciousness of the Universe, which no single interpretive modality or combination can fully express. Its breadth appears immeasurable, and its origins shrouded in mystery.

The bottom line is that how any Design will express itself 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, while others are older. All of these influence your unique goals (dharma) and obligations (karma) in life.

As you become more aware of who you are and what you came here to do, your discernment about which choices are right for you also increases.  

This is why even those with your exact Design will lead dramatically different lives—the soul’s uniqueness determines how any chart is lived, underscoring Human Design’s true power.

So, what does this reveal about Human Design’s value for self-discovery? Its power lies in helping you understand your unique soul’s purpose, even when Designs are identical.

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

You give your Design its meaning and direction. Human Design is a tool; your soul determines its purpose in your life.

Your Design offers valuable information and points you in the right direction. It is up to you, the unique soul living that Design, to express it as you intend. You are more than your Human Design, but you can use it to find your path and purpose.

Even if you do not believe the Soul creates intentions or has a trajectory shaped by previous lives, you are still driven by unique yearnings that compel 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. Maybe 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 the energy to live your life, and 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 with a new strategy.

Instead of being resigned to things as they are, surrender to them. In addition, let go of judging yourself for past decisions you regret. 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 openings —subtle as they might be —for you to begin to move out of your situation. Surrender to what is as you start to create what will be.

Indeed, we cannot always 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 with the real power to redirect our lives. This may not seem to be anywhere near the truth, especially if we feel we are permanently caught in 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 —human, animal, or otherwise — 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, 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 you may need to find your courage now. You may wonder how exactly one takes a stand for their life. Begin by choosing yourself. 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 by focusing on what uplifts 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 you will believe in your own advocacy. 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 dominant cultural message tells us our worth is based on appearance, status, success, and recognition, making life harsh for many. This world is marked by limitation. Here, actions have consequences, and choices yield results; therefore, we naturally seek ways to gain positive recognition and security.

Physical life is enjoyable when our basic needs are met. When they aren’t, feelings of worthlessness arise, but facing these challenges may reveal the potential for inner fulfillment.

Some believe that life divides us into winners and losers, attributing success solely to individual choices and efforts. This mindset overlooks individual contexts and experiences.

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

Many accept their personal truths, but mine is different. My life, shaped by my unique path and purpose, diverges from the mainstream. I am not alone in this.

Everyone faces different limitations, which can create confusion and questions about survival and worth, urging us to rise or fall.

What appears true may not be; your experience, actions, and meaning-making define your life. Live with authenticity.

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

We each have unique contributions. Not everyone is destined for conventional achievements; all are called to meaningful journeys that leave a lasting impact on others.
