Master embodying your human design
When I teach about type, I believe it is important for people to not only consider the knowledge of how their type operates, but the felt sense of type in their body. To me, type gives nuance to how we move through the world. Our type is a state of being vs something we need to do or think about. This is especially important when we consider our businesses. All too often, I see clients thinking and trying to do their design instead of embodying it. Here are some examples:
When we are trying to do our human design type or are overly thinking about being our type, we miss the point of human design. It is not enough to have the knowledge of our type; we must actually live it, practice it, become it, and master it. We must actually take the knowledge out of our brains and into the real world by moving through the world as our type (and the rest of our charts). I could go on and on about the ways in which I see people overtly try to do their design, but the magic of human design unfolds when we allow ourselves to practice, integrate, and embody our designs. This requires us to have a trusting relationship with our bodies and ourselves, a nervous system we know how to regulate, and a trust in the unfolding of our lives. In business, especially, we need to go beyond knowing our design; we must put down the baggage that we carry, reckon with and tend to what is not ours, and give ourselves a permission slip to do things on our terms. I watch magic happen for some clients who embrace, embody, integrate, and practice living their design. They do the work of reckoning, tending, wrangling, and letting go of all the baggage so that they can become who they were always meant to be. So they can live out their souls’ desires in this incarnation. It is beautiful, painful, challenging, life-trajectory-changing, and pure magic. Conversely, I also watch some clients who overly intellectualize their design; they strive to get it “right” and seek validation or approval that they are doing their design correctly. They often get hung up on the details versus practicing and actually living their design. I watch as they use their human design as an excuse for why they aren’t where they should be, or they abdicate responsibility because people don’t treat them according to their design. If you are going to build a business around your human design instead of shrinking your human design into your existing business or some other business model, you must actually practice it, integrate it, and reckon with what doesn’t serve you.You must put down the excuses and take responsibility. Life and business don’t come with trigger warnings. We don’t wear our human design charts on our back so that other people understand who we are, and even if we did, there is no guarantee they will treat us accordingly – most probably still wouldn’t because they lack the knowledge and embodiment. We must own who we are, how we move through the world. The world is changing rapidly, and it is time to take responsibility for what we can control and understand what we can influence and let go of everything else. Deconditioning and integrating and embodying your human design is work, and so is living in a way that doesn’t honor the whole of who you are. You must choose your hard. There is no under or around to building a business around your design. There is no shortcut, cheat code, or secret strategy you are missing. There is only one way. Through the knowledge to integration to embodiment. Through the setbacks and tests. Through the straddle season of letting go of the old business and building the new Through the turbulence and speedbumps of learning to trust yourself…again. Through the deconstructing of beliefs to build anew. Through the reckoning, tending, and letting go of past lived experiences that often come with a side of shame, guilt, or disappointment, you betrayed yourself. Through the disappointment, delight, and joy that come from the journey back to yourself, you can reach your full potential and live out your true desires. Through the quiet inner nudges that emerge as you begin to trust yourself again. Avoidance. Shoulding. Abdication. Settling. Compromising. Comparison. Trend Hoping. Perfectionism. Controlling. Excuses. Prolong the process. There is only one way. While the industry will try to sell you a shortcut, there are no shortcuts to deconditioning, to self-regulation, to business building, or to life. The joy is in the journey, the highs and lows, the ups and downs, the ebbs and flows, and the parts that break your heart or fill your heart. I am here to tell you that the most powerful thing you can do for yourself during this era we are living in is to rekindle the relationship with yourself. To learn to trust yourself, your knowing, and to give yourself a permission slip to say yes to you. To learn the felt sense in your body of what is correct for you or now. To lean in to that “crazy idea“. To say yes when the world says no. To become unfuckwithable because you know exactly who the fuck you are, the life and business you are here to live, and the impact you are here to make. You do it on your terms because you are embodied. You practice what you preach. You stop waiting for someone or something to change you or save you, and instead, you save yourself. And the only person who can change that is you. You get to choose. You get to choose whether you simply know or you actually become. You get to choose whether you take what is happening internally and make it external. You get to choose whether you lean or pull back. You get to choose. The time is now to not only know your design but to master it. The time is now to get on the playing field of life and become who you were always meant to be if only you gave yourselfa permission slip. The time is now to practice what you preach. The time is now to integrate and embody. The time is now to straddle so that you can let go of the old world and embrace the new one you are building. The time is now to reckon with, tend to, and let go of what is no longer serving you. The time is now to claim what you desire, to take up space, and to own where you are so that you can get to where you want to be. So that you can live the life that you desire. The time is now.
