Stop by for food, friendship and raffles.

This past holiday season I was shopping in a metaphysical book store, perusing for a special gift.  My eyes landed on a button pin “Hermits Unite.”  Of course, I burst into laughter. All you 2’s out there in Human Design land know exactly what I’m inferring.  Yes, we want to be left alone. And we also want to commiserate about our hermitage.

Ideally, 2^nd lined beings would live in Hermitville where there are other Hermits and normal people too.  We love to interact and engage. Remember; don’t put too much pressure on us, as we are likely to bark back at you.  We’d like to live in community, just as long as we have our cave to go to and stay as long as we like, alone.  We are the happiest when we can putter around in our own little world.  If you know a 2, remember to call them when there’s something unique or creative to check out. Left to our own devices we can find plenty to entertain ourselves, alone.

I remember thinking when I was studying the lines and profiles, there didn’t seem to be much about the 2^nd line. It took me a while to really get what was meant by the description of The Natural, unaware, creative and so on. I envision the 2^nd line being as the kind of person who can run and catch a patch of ice at just the right speed in order to make it to the other side. Magic, they make it in at the perfect speed in perfect time, safely. An onlooker watches this precision act in awe. She hollers from across the icy patch to the 2, “Wow, that was pretty cool. Do you ice skate too?” “Oh no, not at all” says the 2, “I was running late for my appointment so I took the short cut.”

In my November article I described the completion of my Chiron return process.  Since then, it’s become unmistakably obvious to me the responsibility a 6.2 carries. Every interaction holds a mirror letting me know if I’m contributing or not to this person. When I’m out in public, I can feel others are watching, noticing and on some occasions giving me feedback. Such as pointing out to me if I don’t “do” something I said I would do.  Even if the “to do” was a comment made in passing. Or, feedbacks on my professional practices, such as not returning a phone call — even when I didn’t ask to be called.  In fairness, I get plenty of feedback for my good acts as well. However, I notice the negative feedback has a strong pinch to it. The pinch is then followed by an internal wake-up and shake-up which tells me I cannot be sloppy in any of my interactions…anymore.

It is now, off the roof, I understand and value the Hermit side of me. I’ve become more appreciative for both the pure magical-ness and necessity for a 6.2 profile to have the 2^nd line drive our vehicle. It is essential for 6.2’s to get away from everyone. The more down-time we have, the better.

During our recent holiday season, I unplugged the phones and put out my “do not disturb” sign.  Two days of total BLISS!  Sure enough, the days were followed by none-stop calls and visits. The process begins again with people who look to my 6^th line to give them something – advice, nurturing, insights, acknowledgment, validation. Followed by quieter days to allow my 2^nd line to relax and get back to a natural flow, alone.  It’s taken me a long time to experience this level of satisfaction and balance. After all, my Design has no awareness centers plus (8) 2^nd lines. Many times, I’m unaware that I’m unaware, if that makes sense? Yet, somehow, someway my clueless-ness and innocence drove me to Human Design ten years ago. I’m sure glad I/it did.

I was on Energy Stew with Peter Roth discussing Human Design Chart for 2010.  We discuss  possible world events, both macro and micro.  Give it a listen.

Thursday, Feb 18 from 6:30 -8:30 I’ll facilitate a Projectors Study Group.  Cost is $15 for your first time. $30 or register in advance for $25 by calling 760-635-1777. The group will meet once a month. Location: 285 N El Camino Real, Encinitas, CA 92024. We will discuss each person’s chart. Learn how to maximize your energy. Learn how to improve your relationships with the other types.

One evening last week, starting at about 8:30, my neighborhood experienced a 13-hour electrical outage. Fortunately, I had a few candles burning with additional lighting coming from the moon and stars reflecting through my windows. Within a few minutes I was able to locate my flashlights and additional candles.

Once I got myself re-situated and resigned with the idea of no electricity, I recognized my experience of temporary darkness as a wake-up call. I spent a few minutes playing out ‘what if’ scenarios in my head. What if this was an earthquake or other natural disasters? I asked myself, what would I need to stay safe in my home without electricity for a few days? Am I prepared? I began to evaluate how much water, batteries, food I could eat without preparation, was my cell phone fully charged and so on down the list. It turned out, for the most part; I was prepared to make it for a few days if it would be required.

As the lights go out on 2009 and we look to our new cycle to begin, are you prepared? In Human Design we recognize beginnings and the start of the new cycle when the Sun enters Gate 41, Decrease. (Read more about Gate 41 Decrease, Less is More) So yes, on January 1, 2010 the calendar changed from one year to the next. But the energy for beginnings and starting things is January 21 at 7:38 PM Pacific Time.

Perhaps you’ve felt some resistance to getting your engines fully up and running these first weeks of January. Have you found you’re still clearing up and sorting through projects and people from the past? This is a great time to revisit and revise your resolutions/goals/intentions you’ve set to accomplish this year. I’ve noticed calls and emails from clients bare a common theme. “I know this is going to be a really big year for me and I want to make sure I don’t miss my chance.” Are you feeling 2010 is a pivotal year for you as well?

We’ve read and heard from our thought-leaders, economist, scientists, astrologers and other experts that we are going through dramatic shifts and rapid changes here on planet earth. We are on our way to experience more changes in our climates, corporate and financial infrastructures as well as new and better ways for agriculture, health care and education systems to name a few. As above, so below… Changes and innovations are permeating, pushing us all deeper into our own inner revolution.

Check list for navigating the changes ahead:

Know where you’re going. Ask yourself: What is my passion? What do I really want to do? What is my soul’s purpose? If I knew I could not fail, what would I do with my life? If I had all the money I needed, would I still be doing what I’m doing?

“Follow your bliss.” These wise words from Joseph Campbell can serve as a guide post for you in the coming cycle. Check in with yourself every day, 100 times a day, to assess your thinking and your doing. Ask yourself, is what I’m doing or thinking in this moment taking me closer to my bliss or further away? Or is it neutral?

Last fall I put myself through this series of questions which began a powerful pull in me to let go of a couple of projects I was working on. Just like the domino game I liked to play in my youth, one by one, people and projects fell away leaving me with ample empty space in my life for me to do what I really want to do – teach and facilitate positive change. Yes,the letting go was uncomfortable. I’ve learned change is much easier when I participant rather than resist.

What steps can you take today to move you closer to your bliss?

Know who you are. The greatest gift you can give yourself and the world is to be who you are. Knowing who you are is one thing – living and behaving authentically is another. For many years I was one person at work, another person with my family and another when I did not feel the pressures of the norms. I pursued many studies but particularly Human Design to help me bridge this gap Human Design is based on modern science and ancient wisdom which clearly and accurately maps our strengths and vulnerabilities. This knowledge can help you let go of unrealistic expectations, self-condemnation and resistance. Knowing your strengths and your vulnerabilities is essential to maneuver smoothly in the times ahead.

Would you like guidance to help you identify and enhance your strengths as well as minimize your vulnerabilities? Contact me for details about a Human Design foundational reading, Human Design review session or Human Design empowerment sessions.

Nurture your mind, body and soul. People’s lives are jam-packed with projects, goals and obligations resulting in little if any time for self care. Have you noticed, when it comes to self care, simple is smart? It is a bunch of little simple things that add up to significant benefits.

What are the two or three simple things you’re going to do to gain a higher level of well being this year? Here are some ideas to help you get started: reduce your salt and alcohol intake, less TV, more sleep, worry less, smile more, 10 minutes of quiet time AM and/or PM, dance more, plant food or flowers. Go to your calendar now and block out personal time to nurture yourself and increase your personal well being. A peaceful inner world recognizes and attracts a more peaceful and harmonious outer world.

Are your batteries charged and flashlights close at hand? Prepared or not – the new cycle is beginning and the changes are going to come at a faster rate than previously. Indeed, it will be an interesting year. I’m looking forward to assisting and contributing to you in any way I can.

Happy New Year and New Cycle!

Human Design Charts and mini readings

Do you ever wonder if you’re making the right decision? What to do, be, where, who, how and why? Too many answers to these questions in your head are what makes your head spin. Suddenly you know why the word discombobulated was coined.

Entertain these confusing thoughts for any length of time, and you’re likely to feel stuck, frustrated, maybe even angry. And no closer to the solution than when you started.

We have been raised in a society that values logic and reason. It seems like our mind needs to “make sense” of everything. Yet, I’m sure that you can look back in your life and recall a time when you followed some natural impulse, maybe even intuition. When you listened to this instinct, everything just fell into place.

So how do we make this happen more often?

There is a very unique and comprehensive study called the Human Design System. It’s based on many ancient studies, some of which you’ve probably heard of before. HD provides a reliable, practical and accurate road map that will enable you to make correct decisions, experience more balance in your life and optimize your energy. You’ll find a Human Design Reading nothing short of astounding as it reveals your true nature and purpose for living. Follow your design, and see how well you begin navigating the road map of life.
