Join The Transformation! A 12-week Container to Grow into Your Authentic Self
Our body is in communication with us all the time. What’s difficult to capture online are the nuances of Human Design.
Understanding and learning about your unique Human Design provides the map, but you have to actually live and experience and play around to release your full potential into the world. When I found Human Design, what clicked into place was that our obsession with how the body looks is completely misguided. Exercise, movement, and eating the food that feels good to you IS important, but not for the reason you’ve been told.
Your body is a compass. To *implement* Human Design we have to establish a rapport with our bodies to tune into our own unique guidance. We can’t follow our intuition if we’re existing OUTSIDE of ourselves. If we’ve following someone else’s paradigm, we can’t follow what’s right for US.
As energy beings, becoming aware of this innate intelligence that flows through ALL OF US is the point of Human Design.
As a map it helps make sense of the different messages and pressures we receive, pointing us to see which energies will be consistent versus not.
A reading alone isn’t enough to change your life. It’s a jumping off point.
The purpose of a reading is to get you familiar with your design so you can live from the innate wisdom of your body instead of from the conditioning of your past.
One reading can open your world, but the work doesn’t end there. We’ve got to sift through our energy and connect to our bodies so we aren’t making decisions from a place of pressure, but from our own authority. This is why we made the Transformation. So you’ve got support, community, and accountability, as you find your inner voice.
I am the last person on earth to read Untamed, but when she said, “brave is not asking the crowd what is brave. Brave is deciding for oneself.” That really struck me as the motivation behind The Transformation.
This is the essence of the work that’s done in tandem with deepening your awareness of your own energy system. but I think Glennon captures the nuance that we frequently skip over in the energy world - finding your voice doesn’t make your life easy or perfect, it makes it YOURS.
If you are looking for support as you find your voice, join us. You’ll get a Human Design reading with me, a reading with Jackie and Raisa to identify your blocks, and the patterns you have to break, which naturally will make way for your natural evolution. Taking these steps creates energetic waves that WILL change your life.
You can begin listening to your body wisdom at any moment. I find that through a mix of movement, meditation, and breath work that we can clear out the noise and make a better connection to our energy, which is what I’ll be teaching in my class, Inner Listening.
For me, understanding my design gave me the confidence to know I was on my right path and the strides I’ve been able to make by living WITH my design instead of fighting against it has been absolutely extraordinary. Finding and being in community with people who are also working to find their voice and their path? PRICELESS.
Understanding Conditioning: Body Image + Human Design
I remember distinctly being in 4th grade and the girl next to me in music class lamenting her “fat thighs.”
As I heard this girl tear her body apart, I was struck by what she was saying. I hadn’t really given too much thought to my thighs before this moment and her words drove into me like a wedge.
Was I supposed to hate my body?
PAUSE: Human Design immediately makes me think about childhood body image? YES.
A huge part of living your design is releasing the conditioning that you’ve picked up along the way that pushes you to live in your NOT SELF.
As adults, we know that this 9 year old didn’t authentically hate her “fat thighs,” she was simply reflecting the conditioning of her family and the cultural beliefs that she had absorbed from her environment. Something I reference all the time on my instagram is the Beauty Redefined book and teachings. Lexie and Lindsay Kite, PhD’s have researched exactly how women are taught to self-objectify themselves and the harm that causes.
Finding the beliefs that keep us stuck from being ourselves is one of the first steps needed when you are working towards living YOUR fulfilling life. If you are living in a woman’s body, chances are you need to work through your self-objectifying beliefs so that you can get into your authentic desires and energy.
To connect to our inner voice and guidance, we must be IN and connected to our bodies. Facing memories and beliefs about what keeps us disconnected from our bodies is a HUGE part of the process. It is not pretty, it doesn’t really feel good either, but it is a part of the process that allows you to get to a place of authenticity within yourself and isn’t that the whole point of being alive?
Competition, comparison, body image issues, it all starts YOUNG. It serves as a distraction from living your life. It is also strategically used to oppress women because we can’t move forward if we’re too worried about how we look.
In Human Design terminology, this is called conditioning. We are conditioned to fit in and be acceptable so that we get our needs met. Women believe that their value is tied to how they look and therefore we shut down huge swaths of our authentic selves to divert precious resources to making ourselves “acceptable.” But you are not a stock. Your value does NOT rise and fall in concordance with your physical appearance.
Why does this matter? Conditioning holds us back from being who we are. If we are worried about HOW WE LOOK, then we are not clued into HOW WE FEEL.
How you look may get you rewarded externally for a bit, but tuning into how you FEEL will lead to actually being aligned with your highest self.
When we are in flow we are freely allowing our unique energetic signature to beam into universe with clarity.
When we are living in our NOT SELF, we’re scrambling or hiding our energetic signature - and we’re not calling in the correct opportunities and people for us.
In order to clear out our conditioning so that we’re beaming out a clear signal, we’ve got to get in our bodies to feel our authority so that we’re not overthinking and getting stuck in our conditioning.
Embodiment is the antidote to self-objectification. Striving to live fully in our physical being leads to our full expression of being.
Embodiment is a word thrown around a lot lately. But what does it really mean when someone says this? If we look to the dictionary, we see embody to mean giving a body to a spirit. I see embodiment as a channel to deeper self-understanding. We need to be fully grounded in ourselves (our body) to make decisions that are truly the best for us.
I find it can be helpful if we all understand that embodiment simply means being grounded in our body. Now, this isn’t a seamless transition. It’s taken me a long time to drop my self-objectification and just allow myself to BE. It feels awkward at first to not participate in diet culture. I felt self-conscious to just let my body be - but the more I just allowed myself to be, the more I realized I could hear what my body was saying. I felt what a yes and no was in my body.
Allow embodiment to be a daily practice. Notice how often you are disconnected and watching yourself in life. Gently steer yourself back into the present moment.
What do you feel? I found that slow flow yoga and yin yoga really helped me connect into my physical being. A physical practice of any kind that helps you be present and in the moment will help you connect to your inner voice.
