The past two weeks have been filled with some intense shifts, and soft, tough love revelations. I was on a call earlier today walking a client through a 1:1 human design pathway located in the Healers Haven. We talked about the purpose of gates in Human Design.

There are 64 Gates, each relating to their corresponding Hexagram in the I-Ching system as well as to a specific codon of your 64-codons DNA. (You feel like jumping into this rabbit hole with me yet? Lol). A gate is a door belonging to a center. Gates are potentials, energies, intelligence, and resources. Take Gate 46 for example, The Embodiment Master. It is the energy of whole-body sovereignty, acceptance, bliss, and embodiment. It gives us the energy to enjoy being an embodied human being.
Now in sessions, my gift to you is pointing out where Gate 46 sits in your design and how it takes up space in your forcefield of energy: defined or open.
As the cliché goes, we aren’t human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
True to my own experience and gate 46, it has taken me some time to see how that plays out in my life, and what healing has shown me. The purpose of life is to be present in the body. With all the intense feelings and sensations that life brings. Including the ones that hurt like hell.
We aren’t here to transcend the human experience or try to “be a certain kind of spiritual.”
Yes, we can have transcendent experiences and connect with “higher” perspectives. Trying to be anything other than our design or suppressing who we are creates suffering.
As Ram Dass would say, Be Here Now.
Whether it’s your Human Design, learning how to open the akashic, or studying with the most world-renowned master teachers; all of this means nothing if you don’t actually experiment and integrate what you discover. It's one of the reasons why the Healers Haven was created to share abundant resources that help us all learn AND embody.
Embodiment is where the magic happens! Every single time.
With each method of escape that we let go of, the inner knowing only gets stronger and stronger – with everything!
Life really is happening in the body.
Transparently, I’m no longer blind to my urges to escape my body. I can see them clearly.
Being present with those urges has taught me how to show up for myself. This last season has taught me that as I increase my capacity for being present in my body, my success, authenticity, expression, intuition, and my contribution also expands. The body is where all of that wisdom lives.
It takes time to become present in your body.
But when you do, there really is magic that awaits in parts of your body that hold wisdom.
Over the next few days into this Fall Equinox energy, I invite you to a place of Sacred inquiry:
What does leaving summer and entering Fall feel like in your body right now?
What sensations or feelings do you notice in your awareness of this seasonal shift?
How present can you be with all of that? With yourself?
What do you notice about being alive in a body that is shedding outdated versions of your life?
I look forward to living out the answers with you.
Trust Fall, anyone?
I’m holding space for the answers that will present in all of our doing and being in this season. Join me online for a collective journey through Yoga Nidra.
