My Human Design Experiment

Category: Gene Keys

  • Line 3 Escape Artist or Adventurer | Venus Sequence

    I am a 1/3 and so Line 3 features rather prominently in my Human Design body graph and my Gene Key Hologenetic Profile. At the moment, I’m looking at Line 3 from the lens of Purpose, as part of my Venus Sequence.

    Line 3 is the Escape Artist as the shadow expression and the Adventurer as the higher expression. Looking at my past relationships, and even the uncomfortable moments of my current relationship, I can see those Escape Artist moments. It is my shadow pattern to just want to run away from the overwhelming emotions. I didn’t fight for any of my relationships. I didn’t want any drama. Even at those times, a simple gesture of wanting to stay would have been enough. I just didn’t.

    My solar plexus is not defined and so it’s an open area for conditioning by others and their emotional waves. It is interesting for me to note how most people in my life are emotionally defined, even though statistically it’s just 50% of the population. My partner is emotionally defined and these past months, I have learned so much about what this means – the emotional waves, the highs and lows, how that impacts me, what helps me to stay in my own field and emotions, how to discern his from mine, the amplification…I shared a bit about this in another post (Open Solar Plexus, Meet Defined Solar Plexus).

    Adding to this, I’m a Line 3 and he’s a Line 4 for our Purpose. According to Richard Rudd, Lines 3 and 4 are the “most obviously emotional of all the 6 Lines.” However our shadows are probably the least emotional. Line 3 wants to run away and Line 4 pretends everything is all good. I’ve seen this numbness, this meanness come out. That’s the flip side of the 4. Yet they are so loving and gentle.

    If a disagreement or discomfort arises, my first go-to is to break it off. To call it quits. It’s automatic. It comes from this desire just to run away, because the emotions are so so so much. I guess I didn’t want to put any more energy or heart into something that is probably going to fail. In some ways, it just feels like commitments and stability elude me, as a 1/3, as someone who’s wired to make and break bonds. This may show up as attracting a partner who is slippery and elusive. It’s been both, for me. Of course, what I didn’t realize is that bonds can be remade even more strongly. More beautifully. Because I never allowed it, I never went there.

    Thankfully, my partner knows Human Design and so he understand these things about me. We have broken our bonds many times, remaking them in a new, deeper, more transparent and authentic way. It’s taken a lot of courage to sit with him to have these conversations. He’s aware that I amplify his emotional waves, with my undefined centre. He’s aware that I have a practical mind and just want to deal with it practically, in or out, yes or no. Of course life is not so clear cut. Emotions are not so clear cut.

    I’m delving deeper now also into my purpose, which is to be agenda-less, and just love and accept everything in life completely, fully. This means to surrender so completely that all boundaries dissolve. A phrase Richard Rudd used is especially intriguing and something for me to contemplate. “Fear is safe.” This is so diametrically opposite to what we’ve been taught. Imagine relaxing into that, into trusting it all.

    We have been a safe space and a sanctuary for each other, for which I am so grateful, especially through the intensity of this year. He’s become my best friend and I couldn’t have asked for a better “lockdown” buddy. In this tight living space and confined lifestyle created by the 2020 conditions, we have learned a lot. About ourselves, and each other. We have both, I feel, learned more about commitment. Freedom within commitment and commitment with freedom is where we’re at, what we are exploring. I don’t know what that looks like. I just know that this relationship itself is an adventure. I am committed to being open, courageous, and honest so that we continue this amazing journey. I’m choosing as Richard Rudd says about Line 3 The Adventurer, to “stay in the room.”

  • Friday, Delving into Venus & the Venus Sequence of The Gene Keys

    Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, rules Friday. Do you know where your Venus is in your Astrology chart or Human Design Bodygraph? What Gates are your Venus in?

    In the Human Design System, we have a Design/Body/Unconscious Venus and a Personality/Mind/Conscious Venus. This is imprinting that takes place at the time of birth (Personality/Conscious) and approximately 88 days prior to that (Design/Unconscious). When you look at your Bodygraph, you find the activated Gates on the Design side on the left (in red, usually) and the ones on the right are the Personality (in black, usually).

    While the majority of our imprinting comes from the Sun, the other planets also provide helpful information.

    Gene Keys & The Venus Sequence

    The Gene Keys are neither science nor pseudo-science. They are presented as a poetic exploration into consciousness that uses the 64 Codons of DNA as a mystical metaphor for the holographic code underpinning all life. These teachings are a labyrinth, and when you enter them with an open heart and mind, you may move through a deep transformation resulting in a more compassionate view of yourself and others.

    Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys Golden Path

    As with Human Design, the Gene Keys also work with the 64 I Ching Hexagrams and 64 Gates. Each Gate or Gene Key has three frequency bands – Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi. We find many of these shadows as part of the collective energy at the moment, to the degree that many people feel they are “normal” and even healthy.

    There are different ways to work with the Gene Keys, including contemplating all the activated ones in your Bodygraph to raise awareness of the shadow frequencies in order to shift to the other higher states of energy.

    We can also work with the three sequences of the Golden Path – the Activation, Venus, and Pearl Sequences. There is a fourth upcoming sequence of Harmony. The heart of this work is the Venus Sequence. You can find your free profile to see what the Gene Keys are for each of these three sequences.

    If you are familiar with Human Design, the activated Gene Keys/Gates of the Personality and Design Venus, along with that of our Personality Mars are where we come to understand our behaviour in relationships. We can see here our physical, mental, and emotional patterns and coping strategies we created when young, in response to emotional field and forces in our environment. The Shadow frequencies of these three Gates reflect our core wounds. When we act from these energies, we continue to play out our wounds in our adult relationships and so we remain unfulfilled.

    Otherwise, check out what your Venus Sequence is in your free profile and all this information is shown.

    These three Gene Keys represent our Intelligence Quotient (Personality Venus), Emotional Quotient (Personality Mars), and Spiritual Quotient (Design Venus). The Shadows of these three Gene Keys are our physical, emotional, and mental triggers.

    The lines of each of these Gates/Gene Keys provide a deeper layer. Contemplating just the Gates/Gene Keys is powerful inner child healing work. For me, it is Line 5 for all three. While they have meaning specific to the different spheres of the Venus Sequence, Line 5 is projection energy. The Saviour/Saved. My Venus is in Pisces and this makes so much sense!

    When we raise our level of awareness, it becomes easier to discern our own behaviour and that of others in relationships. Even without knowing Human Design or Gene Keys.

    This knowledge we transform into wisdom to better understand ourselves and have greater compassion for others. In this way, we can stop blaming other people and accept that this is just the way we learned to cope as best as we could as a child being conditioned by external forces. On some level, we all believe we are not worthy, this myth, this illusion. So when we unearth the unconscious worldview and programming we have embodied, we can begin to release its grip and reveal who we truly are.

    Everything that you have contemplated up to this point has been preparing you for this – this softening and opening of your heart into the sacred wound. When you feel the tenderness of your own heart, you also come to realize that you are never alone. There is vast strength within the folds of this love. It holds up your life. In the words of the great W.B.Yeats, ‘tread softly, because you tread on my dreams’. Herein are the dreams of your heart.

    Richard Rudd, Venus Sequence

    Design Venus

    This is where we are imprinted in the first trimester and activated in the first seven-year cycle of life. The Gate gives us information about what our physical trigger. This is our Spiritual Quotient.

    Personality Venus

    This is where we are imprinted in the third trimester and activated in the third seven-year cycle of life. This is what our mental trigger is and what our mental patterns we created in response to emotional conditioning.

    Personality Mars

    This is where we are imprinted in the second trimester and activated in the second seven-year cycle of life. This is what our emotional trigger is.

    The 22nd Gene Key

    At its heart however lies the question of human suffering,and it therefore has a direct relationship to the Venus Sequence. Both are manifestations of the Venus Stream. The more you read and digest the 22nd Gene Key, the more you will settle yourself into the Venus Stream

    Richard Rudd, Love – A Guide to Your Venus Sequence

    The Siddhi of the 22nd Gene Key is Grace. This is “Grace Under Pressure.” The Grace of the Venus Sequence.

    Richard Rudd sees the 22nd Gene Key as the heart of human suffering, and through the realization of the suffering in our own life, we transform in the deepest way. The 22nd Gene Key is the “Truth of Redemption.”

    It is “special within the overall matrix of the 64 Gene Keys, containing a highly specific teaching and a powerful transmission. The transmission of this consciousness alone can alter the way in which your DNA operates.” (Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys). All 64 Gene Keys are in some way impacted by the 22nd Gene Key.

    It is through the 55th and 22nd Gene Keys that bring evolution and involution. There is an awakening of our genetic imprint and an invocation of spirit in our lives.

    Do you have these two Gene Keys in your profile? Even if you don’t, it’s worthwhile to spend some time to read, hear, and contemplate Richard’s transmissions. The 22nd Gene Key is important in relationship work as it is “one of the most powerful emotional Shadow Gene Keys in the human genome. It is highly passionate and sexual with a huge emotional range encompassing extreme highs of sweetness and extreme lows of violence. Because of its situation in the genome it is directly or indirectly responsible for most of the relationship problems on our planet.” (Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys) Working with this Shadow, like all Shadows, is to take responsibility. In this case, for our feelings, rather than subduing them.

    Both the 22nd and 55th Gene Keys are of special interest for me, as they are both part of my profile, and my Venus Sequence. Relationships is indeed an important spiritual pathway for me.

    The Venus Sequence is the second of the Golden Path. Have you done your Activation Sequence which reveals your four Prime Gifts? The Venus Sequence is the core of the Golden Path and shows us how relationships is the primary spiritual path of life. Through relationships, we see our deepest shadows at work and through working through the Venus Sequence, we can transform the rough emotional waters and reveal the love that is hardwired into our DNA.

    For the first time, Richard Rudd, founder of The Gene Keys, and his Deep Dive Team will be leading a virtual Venus Sequence Retreat, starting November 2, 2020. This is a 6-month journey of emotional transformation and a commitment to embody Love within ourselves and in the world. This retreat includes new material, weekly live events, and monthly contemplation themes. The team will lead participants through the Venus Sequence, step by step and Sphere by Sphere. There are six Spheres and five pathways in the Venus Sequence. If you are new to this work, an intro orientation course is included in the retreat.

    You can also do the online course of the Venus Sequence on your own, as many of us do. It is a beautiful journey, a letting go, yielding, allowing process, a yin movement. If you are interested in transforming your relationships and ways of relating, I invite you to enter the Venus Sequence and I recommend joining the Virtual Venus Sequence Retreat for the depths we dive into together and the community.

    Earlier this year, I joined the Deep Dive into Genius event which ran from January to May. This was a 16-week journey into the Activation Sequence. With all the live calls recorded, I have access to all the resources from the virtual retreat to return to, which actually I am doing at the moment, before the Virtual Venus Sequence Retreat begins. I highly recommend these deep dives!

  • Experiencing the 6th Gene Key and Discovering Peacefulness Within

    I was reading about the 6th Gene Key and realized that my partner and I were experiencing this energy in our conversation. I have this Gene Key/Gate activated and he has its programming partner, the 36th Gene Key. These are Gates in our Human Design Bodygraph, though not part of our Golden Path.

    What hit home was this statement –

    The biofeedback loop between these two shadows is rooted in nervousness and defensiveness. The 36th Shadow makes you nervous, feeding the 6th Shadow, which responds through making you behave defensively. Likewise, your own defensiveness makes other people behave in a nervous manner around you.

    Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys

    My Human Design and Gene Keys Experiment is an ongoing unfolding, a wonderful fun project (that is me) for a 1/3 Profile. So when I was reading about 6th Gene Key, the current world theme that was just beginning, it dawned on me how we role-played and experienced it within our conversation that morning..

    We have some very intense conversations. Intense because we are holding space for each other, to be what may be called “radically honest.” It’s big work, opening up to a level of intimacy that at once calls up old wounds, personal, tribal, and collective and dissolves them.

    I don’t remember now what we were talking about. He was nervous about hurting my feelings or triggering a past relationship pattern. I so appreciate his awareness, care, and love for me. And he’s shared that talking with me helps him process. He’s emotionally defined and it can take time.

    This background frequency of nervousness or turbulence then reinforced my defensiveness, which I am not always aware of. This energy can be so subtle, and even “sneaky.” In those moments, I can come across “sharp” I’ve been told. It is distorted because of some underlying wound. Perhaps a past pattern is re-energized or brought to the surface. Residual I suppose from the work I have already done releasing the past – the betrayals and other events, woundings, and traumas. Ah, the silver lining and the gift of a difficult separation and divorce. A lot of growing up, growing awareness, and “adulting.” Alas, I digress…

    And my defensiveness feeds feeds his nervousness. That’s how programming partners work. On the Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi levels.

    The 6th Gene Key

    The 6th Gene Key was the world theme from September 15 to 20, 2020. This is the path of peace, from the shadow of conflict through the gift of diplomacy.

    I have this gate in my bodygraph; however, since my Solar Plexus is undefined, it is not an activated gate. The 6th and the 59th Gates create the Channel of Mating, which interestingly enough, was a connection I had with my ex-husband. And no, we didn’t have any kids. We did build up the resources to support a family, and definitely our family of four with our two adopted dogs.

    The 6th Shadow of Conflict is the single most influential Gene Key in regard to the issue of human communication. At its highest potential, the 6th Gene Key is the archetype of peace of earth, whilst at its lowest potential it is the root cause of all human conflict. This conflict stems from the human emotional system and our inability to handle the voltage of extreme emotional states. Conflict breaks out whenever two or more people agree to identify with their emotional state. As long as you surrender your will to the emotional system, then you will be trapped by its volatile nature.

    Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys

    I often find myself spontaneously bursting into tears when I read about my activated Gene Keys. Oh, Richard, what is this “sorcery” that touches me so deeply. I think it is the spellbinding power of truth.

    Shadow Consciousness – Conflict

    It is easy to see how this shadow consciousness of Conflict is part of the collective energy at this point. We can see it within ourselves, how we repress emotions, showing up as inconsistencies. We can see it all over social media, even without the trolls, and between friends over politics, and of course now the virus.

    And in the world today, especially with the sweeping changes of the pandemic status, we see tremendous conflict around how we see the best way of moving forward, how to live now, between feeling safe and free, what is real and not…

    As we accelerate the dismantling of all things secret and veiled, I can see how Conflict may be intensified. Those with vested interests and secrets want them protected. This “fight” we can see as different truths and half-truths circulate, comes back to our personal conflicts.

    We are coming together, approaching 2027, when our current age ends. This is the time, these few years, to really unlock all that is esoteric and hidden. Good and bad. According Human Design cosmology, 2027 is a nexus point, when the current global incarnation cross, Cross of Planning, will come to an end. All that was created from that energy – infrastructure, institutions, commercial farming, community projects, etc – will begin to unravel.

    What will the world be like without all things “normal” and familiar? I believe we are getting a sampling of that now in 2020.

    Emotional Defence Strategies, Anyone?

    On writing about the 6th Shadow, Richard Rudd states that our emotional defence strategies are really formulated in our second 7-year cycle, when we are 7 to 14. Remember how outrageously emotional the adults in your life were when we were that age? I do. As kids, we really had very little control of what happened. And so these ways to protect ourselves and our feelings.

    One major emotional defence strategy I came up with as a teenager was never to be angry. Because as a child, it was somehow always my fault and I always had to apologize, which I felt was grossly unfair. So the pendulum swung the other way. From keenly feeling my emotions, my gut responses, and my truth to not letting anyone in, not showing how vulnerable, sensitive, and hurt I was.

    Side note: not feeling my gut and not uttering my sounds as a child is shutting down my authority as a Manifesting Generator. As you may know, we have our unique way of knowing the truth.

    That 6th Gene Key/Gate, which is about opening or not to intimacy, was very discerning and very few, mostly animals, got through. While I poured my wounded heart onto the pages of a journal that never saw the day. And without understanding the defined/undefined Solar Plexus relationship, I felt victimized and never learned to be with my emotions. How not to identify with them, especially when they weren’t even mine. My take is that this is part of my work in this life, being surrounded by emotionally defined people. Oh, and learning to see the Not-Self who desires to connect three Solar Plexus gates and feeling fulfilled when someone does. We are all perfect and unique!

    Of course the ego has to die, that tremendous humbling that takes you to your knees, so you can look up at the sky and see the world is so much bigger than who we thought we were. And that we are so much bigger than who we thought we were.

    Touching the Gift of Diplomacy

    The Gift of the 6th GK is Diplomacy. Meeting people halfway. Taking down our barriers so we can step away from preconceived ideas and assumptions. And opening our hearts. This means taking an honest look at where we are not meeting ourselves, of where we have internal conflicts and bravely go beyond them.

    Every human being is emotionally vulnerable until we drop our protective defences. The defences form around our heart, and as long as our hearts remain defended and closed, they can’t heal.

    Richard Rudd, 64 Ways

    The Gift of the 36th GK is Humanity. Just as the Shadow states of programming partners feed into each other, so too do the Gift and Siddhi frequencies. It’s all holographic and related and when we shift one, we uplift all.

    With your heart open, it is not possible to be overwhelmed. The heart can open infinitely to accommodate anything and everything. Only the mind can be overwhelmed. Only the emotions can be overwhelmed. But your soul, your whole being at a higher frequency cannot be overwhelmed by life.

    Richard Rudd on the 36th Gene Key

    Our humanity… We say “we are only human” as if it’s a bad thing, a lesser quality and yet, there is great strength in our humanity, in our humanness. It’s spirit living within. Rather than leaving the human body behind, I believe we are here as vehicles for Heaven and Earth. How? Well, the highest potential of these two Gene Keys is the Siddhi states of Peace and Compassion. How beautiful.

    On a collective level, the 6th Siddhi will be the very last Siddhi to fully mutate in the coming shift in global consciousness. Only when peace is recognized on earth as the natural state of our collective consciousness can the future vehicle of humanity be built. In other words, the myth of world peace is the pretext for building the future body that will take us beyond form itself.

    Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys

    The ultimate peace comes when all boundaries within and interfacing the “external” are dissolved. The body is the Garden of Eden. It is a state of truth.

    It’s been years since I stumbled onto Human Design and the Gene Keys. I am grateful for this information, especially now as we are moving into the last 7-year cycle before 2027. Will it play out according to the Human Design Cosmology? Well, I guess we will see rather soonish, or at least aspects of the “fairytale”. 2020 – the year of why not?! And here we are, writing and sharing my own Human Design/Gene Keys Experiment. This is not the end all philosophy, and certainly not more fodder for the Mind. If you are new to Human Design or the Gene Keys, I encourage to take a look and explore it through your own self. We are our own Authority.

    Or as Jin Shin Jyutsu Master Teacher Mary Burmeister reminded us – We are our own Testimony. And speaking of JSJ, the Keynotes for Safety Energy Lock 6 are Balance and Discrimination. We can simply hold this energy sphere, which is located on the arch of our feet. Think about how our feet is so important in standing upright. It so beautiful ties into the Gene Keys.

    While we may march for peace, we will not achieve it when we are in conflict. When we are protesting against something, when we are not at peace with ourselves, when we cannot be with all the voltages and frequencies of our emotionality, when we see “other”, Peace is only a concept and a fleeting glimpse, if even.

  • Power vs Force

    David Hawkin’s book Power vs Force came to mind as I was contemplating the 40th Gene Key, the world theme from August 29 to September 2 2020. His Levels of Consciousness was pivotal in changing my perspective and understanding of power. The fulcrum between force and power is measured at 200 (per his scale) and is Courage. Below this level, an individual is unable to hear, tell, and receive truth. He also says they cannot be reliably muscle tested or muscle test. This made me wonder about everyone using muscle testing, be it the shoulder, fingers or arms, and the quality of information they are passing on, no matter how sincere.

    The difference between power and force is that power is self-generating and does not need continual energetic expenditure. It exists from the level of Courage and up, including Love, Truth, and Peace.

    In The Gene Keys, Richard Rudd writes “the secret of this Gene Key [40th] is found in the difference between the words energy and force.”

    Energy in this context refers to the natural vitality that flows into your actions in the world. Whenever your actions are in alignment with the universe the requisite energy is supplied from deep within your being.

    Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys

    Each of the 64 Gene Keys has a frequency band from a shadow consciousness to gift to siddhi state, each one is an activator for codes in our DNA. Everything is energy, a frequency, and holographic. Before we shift our energetic state, we first need to know where we are and be radically honest about it. Having these shadows and consequently maladaptive strategies to feel safe and secure does not make us “bad people” or whatever judgment it is you are dealing with. Awareness brings light to our patterns so that we can then make conscious choices about how we treat ourselves, engage with others, and potentiate.

    What are the Shadow Consciousness States?

    Shadow consciousness focuses on survival so it is fear-based and the oldest part of our brain is at work, even though we have evolved since those early days of sabre-toothed tigers. DNA also carries memories so all the experiences that came before us are passed down the lineage from our ancestors. They also are part of the collective energy field. These shadow states are fear-driven and when we become aware of this, we begin to see how much of our lives is routed from something that may not have any anchors in this current life of ours.

    Through contemplation, self-acceptance, and self-love, we can release the charge from these shadows, and discover the gift within.

    About the 40th Gene Key…

    I don’t have this Gene Key or Gate defined. It is the world theme from August 29 to September 2 2020 and a wonderful opportunity for me to contemplate this within myself, in my lineage, for wholing.

    • shadow : Exhaustion
    • gift : resolve
    • siddhi : divine will

    “The 40th Gene Key and its Shadow concern the correct or incorrect use of the power of the human will. The malfunctioning of the 40th Shadow is deeply connected to the conversion of food and liquid into energy though the medium of the stomach.” – Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys

    Exhaustion comes about when we have to dig into our pre-natal chi (or jing), the energy reserves we are born with. This happens because we are not able to effectively convert what we eat into post-natal chi. This can be from inappropriate diet, poor food quality, compromised body systems, stress, and depleted kidney function, for example. The Kidneys, for one thing, keep the body warm and we need this fire for proper digestion. The attitude related to the Kidneys is fear and when we are overwhelmed by that, our water overwhelms our fire. Balancing these two elements is especially important.

    In these intense times, many people are left overwhelmed and stressed, without any effective tools. It’s easier (and cheaper) to reach for processed food, which contributes to a depleted physical body and energy field. We are bombarded by so much information that our digestion is backlogged. Digestion – the stomach function – is an earth element process. How many people do you know feel grounded? In their body? Or feel supported and nourished? How robust are their boundaries? It’s important we bring light on this.

    Simple & Powerful Jin Shin Jyutsu Tips for Digestion

    You can try any of the following self-help practices to see how you feel. We are our own testimony. The benefits of Jin Shin Jyutsu are cumulative so even a minute here and there adds up! You can hold each area for nine breaths or see if you feel the pulsing behind your fingers harmonize and beat together.

    • hold your thumb to harmonize both your stomach and spleen function energies. Holding our thumb, fingers, and the centre of the palm is a powerful way to harmonize all the 12 organ functions, which build the physical body.
    • place your hands on the bottom of your ribcage. This energy zone helps to connect the upper and lower body and supports digestion.
    • place your right hand on your left cheek and your left hand on your left collarbone. This supports the stomach function energy.

    Back to the 40th Gene Key

    So as I mentioned I don’t have this Gene Key or this gate (Human Design) defined. I actually don’t have my willpower centre defined so I don’t have consistent access to this energy. Willpower is not something that you can summon up whenever you want to, for people like me. If you are like me, don’t beat yourself up! We’ve just been conditioned to think that with enough willpower, we can make anything happen. Yep, nope.

    Contemplation of the 40th Gene Key, Shadow State

    In looking at any shadow consciousness state, we see two natures – repressive and reactive. When you experience the repressive 40th Gene Key shadow, your boundaries aren’t great and you may be open to manipulation. It may be a learned childhood behaviour to get the love and attention, by acquiescing to those around you. This usually means putting your needs on the back burner, while continuously giving yourself and your energy to others. It’s not one or the other state; though one is more common. At one point, you may get so very angry.

    So the other nature is to deny your rage which turns into contempt for others. It takes a whole lot of energy to keep people at bay and to keep this rage suppressed. It’s draining to stay isolated. Both states lead to exhaustion. And less energy and fire for digestion.

    We can easily see how these two natures are rampant in the world. In ourselves and in our community. For this week, I will be contemplating the 40th Gene Key. Even though I don’t have this defined in my chart, we are all one of the whole. Anytime anyone raises their frequency, the collective consciousness also jumps.

  • The Beginning – The First Encounter

    As a 1/3 I’m always bumping into people, things, and experiences. Yep, I’ve got a number of bruises and splinters to show for it.

    I first encountered Human Design circa 2012/2013. The reading was profound. To be honest, it was overwhelming. I don’t actually remember the reading; it wasn’t recorded. That would have been a great idea (and I’ve learned since!). I know it was meant to be encouraging though I felt I failed myself in yet another way. At that time, I had just separated.

    In retrospect, the ending of that relationship was the bump I needed to get back on track. It was an important relationship, one that brought me into a whole new field of experience. A decade plus to gather trial and error lab notes.

    So while I was fascinated by my design and Human Design, the time was not ripe for me. I was likely still disconnected to my sacral response!

    In the year the divorce proceedings began, I discovered the Gene Keys. Again, I just lacked the energy to dive deep. My open Head Centre, along with the 1 Line in my profile, filled me all these questions about financial security.

    Over the years, on and off, I would read up on both, as I delved more deeply into Jin Shin Jyutsu, a potent art of harmonization. I have also found it amazing to pair this and the practice of contemplation.

    At the end of 2019, I rediscovered Human Design, just a week before meeting a Human Design Guide at a retreat I attended. It was at the beginning of a new relationship that I began my journey and deconditioning process for real. Together we are also finding our way to Gene Keys again. In these wild intense times of 2020, having Human Design and the Gene Keys, along with Jin Shin Jyutsu, is indispensable. The burning of the inner structures, along with the outer ones. 2020, well played.
