Learning to trust your aura when you’re a control freak
If you're a control freak, raise your hand.

It looks like...Oh, all of us?
The wisdom of 2020 for me has been all about trust.
As a Projector, my aura strategy is to wait for the invitation. The way I learned to trust my aura was through hindsight.
If I force my will without an invitation, it’s pretty inevitable that things will get real dicey.
As an impatient control freak and (recovering) perfectionist learning to let go of my conditioning that puts pressure on me to do all the things, all the time has been a herculean task, but extremely rewarding as I lean into trusting that I don’t have to do it all.
So this summer, when I was feeling particularly bitter (because all my action wasn’t immediately paying off in the ways I wanted it to), I decided I had one option I hadn’t tried: FULL SURRENDER INTO MY STRATEGY.

I was ready to ACTUALLY let go, Not just let go where I felt comfortable, but truly let go and let god, if you will.
What has followed of course is exactly what we talk about in sessions: THE MAGIC HAPPENS WHEN WE SURRENDER.
When we’re not getting our desired result, it’s time to try something new. For most of us, trying something new means slowing down, letting go of control and allowing ourselves to become receptive.
The lesson that floated to me as I read about string theory and the art of doing less this summer, is that what is most helpful is the opposite of what we think we need to do.
What followed when I finally stopped meddling in my own life? A ton of magic.
I've naturally expanded my professional and personal network with super lovely people across the globe and here in Austin, found myself on the receiving end of beautiful invitations and opportunities and I've been reminded yet again that the more I trust, the more my aura does the hard work for me.
Everyone has this ability. It's the art of subtraction.
[TL;DR: When the ways we are used to operating keep landing us the same frustrating results, it's time to stop trying and start allowing.]
If you're accustomed to doing the most and it's not providing the results you want, it’s probably time to experiment with doing less.
You aren't meant to do it all. You've got a specific zone of genius that you operate in and so do others. If we're out here trying to do everyone's job, we're blocking our own magic.
We all have different magnets in our aura calling in people and opportunities at all times. If we can slow down and release our expectations and control, those magnets can really get to work.
In my clarity sessions, we go over all the different places that you have magnets pulling the resources you need to you.
No matter where you are with your Human Design journey you can experiment with doing less and see what the universe serves up.
