The Nature in You (Human Design/Gene Keys/ I-Ching)
Human Design /Gene Keys is a comprehensive system (a synthesis of ancient and modern wisdom traditions such as Astrology, the I-Ching, the chakra system, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, Quantum Physics, etc.) which helps us to understand our nature/our energy.
However, it’s infamous for its complexity, so I like to explain it from different perspectives.
And today, I would like to invite you to see it as: the ancient science of how bio-energy (life-energy) moves through you.
Ancient Eastern traditions (for thousands of years) had already observed 64 patterns of behavior in nature. They, who were patient (and had time in their hands) dedicated their lives to the quiet contemplation of nature, and they noticed how these 64 patterns move through every living organism.
So again, this is the study of the energy (the life-force) that moves through you.
From this perspective, what I like to invite you to do is to turn your perspective toward your body to:
discover these natural patterns of behavior inside yourself
cultivate a relationship with them
live the story you came here to live
give those gifts to your community.
I believe that the larger universal intelligence that created solar systems with a precise perfection created you too.
My work is to encourage you to:
find your true NATURE
dismantle the old patterns (within and outside) that keep you from living your NATURE
use the power of your NATURE to create a reality and a NEW EARTH.
For example: my Life’s Work in Human Design/Gene Keys is 54.5, which is about assisting humanity to evolve/ “ascend” from the shadows into the gift frequencies of our nature.
And this is all science!
There are 64 codons in our DNA, and 64 of these archetypes, and when you know what to look for inside, you begin to notice them in you, and you can change your behavior accordingly and create your new reality this way.
And it’s all mapped out for you. For real!
Isn’t it GREAT?!?! 😃
That’s why I’m obsessed.
This is My Human Design Chart/Bodygraph
I’m a 5/1 Sacral Manifesting Generator.
Understanding this has helped me heal and accept myself and the currents of energy that move through me.
The way I see it, there are two roads in front of you right now (and in any nanosecond):
The Path of the Ego (which is the subconscious automatic patterns and the shadow frequencies of these gifts).
The Path toward your True Nature (led by the conscious mindful YOU, who is intentional about choosing to live from the gift frequencies of your true nature). This path leads to peace and ease and an authentic contribution to the collective.
What’s waiting to happen is:
for you to become the hero of your own story
for you to no longer abandon yourself and your parts
for you to face the shadows with a loving presence
The question is (as it has always been on this ancient evolutionary human journey):
will you be the hero of your own story?
will say “YES” to living according to your True Nature, no matter what others say?
will you grab that GIFT and bring it to the world unapologetically?
EXAMPLE:
Of the MANY gifts I have received from Human Design/The Gene Keys, one of my absolute favorites is the gift of Detachment (42.1). According to the system, that is MY PURPOSE (not my Life’s Work or my Vocation, but my PURPOSE, my reason for being here).
The shadow is EXPECTATION, so I need to be mindful of not getting too attached to anything.
The gift is DETACHMENT (letting go.)
And the divine frequency is CELEBRATION.
This gift teaches me (and others) how to slow down, how to be present, how to savor the nanosecond, how to be grateful for what’s in front of me.
Now, constrast that with my Ego, which is fast, which is hungry, which is driven, which has places to go…
When I began to tune-in to my body, I realized that what my nervous system really wanted was for me to slow down and savor. It wants me to drop ALL expectations (all plans, all agendas, all the heavy burdens my ego carries) and just be present with what’s in front of me.
This gift taught me to consume less and to savor more, to suck the marrow out of this nanosecond. Another term for this gift would be “Carpe Diem” (except I say “Carpe Nanosecond.”)
The divine frequency of the 42 Gene Key is CELEBRATION, which teaches me and others to celebrate every aching moment, because that’s all we have, really, and that’s actually where our power is, in the decisions we make in this nanosecond.
When I celebrate I teach others around me to celebrate too, to savor, to slow down.
However, for most of my life (and specially in this country) I felt judged for my natural impulse to celebrate everything, because the culture doesn’t value slowing down; it’s like we should all suck it up and suffer and go from one goal to the next without stopping to catch our breath, celebrate, and give thanks…
So, in order to become the hero of my own story, I had to accept this gift (and ALL my other gifts) from Nature, unapologetically.
If my joy is not valued here, I’ll go Rogue.
I now prioritize this gift not just because it’s healing to my nervous systems, but because our gifts are not ours and they are not for us alone. We are each a gift to humanity.
When I embody this gift, I teach others
how to alleviate their suffering
how return to the reality of SAFETY in the present moment (vs being attuned to the pain chronically)
how to come Home to their senses
When we understand trauma and the nervous system, we realize that our suffering is often because we are living chronically in the past or the future (worrying in our heads) and so the body is exposed to anxiety constantly and to the chemicals of stress (cortisol/adrenaline…)
I spent years (and thousands of dollars) trying to understand how to alleviate human suffering, and it came down to these two main things:
The body needs YOU to be present with it. The mind can be in many rooms at once, but the body can only be in one room at a time. And we protect the body from the exhausting busyness of then mind when we learn to be present, engaged with the senses.
Movement is key. The freeze response (after trauma or prolonged stress) makes our body tight, therefore movement (from gentle to vigorous depending on where your body is at the moment) is key to heal the nervous system.
So, do you see how reclaiming this gift of CELEBRATION can help my community?
Chronic suffering is often the result of living in pain (constriction) for a prolonged period of time. But Savoring softens the constriction.
Pain Constricts. Pleasure Expands.
Well, to close this post, I just want to take a moment to CELEBRATE the amazing DESIGNER of you and the amazing DESIGN in you!
And I want to encourage you to do the same :)
Love and blessings,
-Rogue Reverent
