How often do you pay attention to your dreams?  For the past 10 or so years, I have had a dream journal that I write down different aspects of dreams that have stayed with me to reflect upon later.  It all began after attending a workshop on dream analysis based on Carl Jung’s work and has continued as I have studied and been immersed in mysticism, shamanism and other ancient ways.

Last night I had a dream that was intense and incorporated many teachings I have been exposed to and immersed in.  The dream began with women of today, all going about their day.  I saw women busy with raising children, working, tending to homes, going to school, in the grocery store, at events with the kids and so much more.  There was all this hurrying here and there.  I witnessed small bursts of conversations with other women, about how tired they were, how overextended, how much weight they had gained or lost, how ugly they felt and there was this underlying general “bitchiness” in the conversation about themselves and other women.  I was able to see the underlying fear that is ready to burst, this deep unknowingness that this is all due to how women have been raised in a culture that diminishes us as we continue to live in a male centered world.

As the dream continued to spiral, I was in ancient times with women who had immense personal power.  These women were the goddesses of many different cultures all showing their female bodies in various forms.  Some of the women were naked and walking proudly, nursing and nurturing their children with joy and happiness on their faces.  Other women, in various sizes were in the fields, gathering plants and vegetables and fully immersed in what they were doing with no thought to how they looked, or what others were thinking or saying.  I saw women helping other women to give birth in the home or in the fields, while other women tended the children.  I saw women just supporting each other, with no agenda, no violence, no fear.  I saw Goddesses in their full embodiment, where their bodies and beings were holy, sacred and honored.  There was no shame, no sense of being ALL to everyone.  There was no competition, no judgement of what other women were being called to do even if it was different than someone else.  

All women were being honored ….. and then my dream amped up and I was brought back to  today and how we seldom honor ourselves.

The images brought forth how so many women are walking around in continual chaos, many buying into voices around them that are unhealed and leading them deeper into chaos, not questioning what is being said, and so deeply immersed in “group think.” 

Boom, then I woke up.

The dream reminded me of three classes I have taken recently all taught by friend and mentor, Liana Shanti.  The courses in no order are Mother Wound, Lifepath Manifesting and Unlicking Ancient Gifts and can be found at www.lianashanti.com under programs.  I then had a few passages of books, I had recently revisited, Descent to the Goddess: A Way of Initiation for Women, by Sylvia Brinton Perera, If Women Rose Rooted: The Power of the Celtic Woman, by Sharon Blakie and Shakti Woman: Feeling our Fire, Healing Our World- The New Female Shamanism, by Vicki Noble all pop into my head.

This dream might also be related to yesterday being the 7th day in a row of chanting “Om Dum Durgayei Namaha” 108 times in meditation.  Durga (Hindu Warrior Goddess) is the protective mother of the universe. She is the protector of all that is good and harmonious in the world.  One of the translations is “the one who eliminates sufferings.”  Her appearance in paintings and statues is easy to recognize as she appears multi-limbed so that she is always ready to protect/battle evil from any direction. 
 
The meaning of the mantra if you are interested is as follows:
Om- the sound of the universe.  The essence of everything
Dum- the seed mantra (sound) of Mata Ji Durga
Durgayei- The complete
Namaha- In your essence we bow to YOU.

I chose this mantra as it is used for protection and in chanting daily, asking the Divine Mother to eliminate all the mental, physical and economic problems in one’s life, or with my intention, the collective.

Since starting this chant, my dreams have been more intense, and a few obstacles in my own life came to the surface and sent me spiraling into an old pattern of mine, of distraction and lower energy vibrations. 
 
Or maybe it was conversations with two women (Monica and Liana) in my life last night, on what in those moments looked very unrelated and yet were related in so many ways I had never imagined.  They may have ignited this dream for me to find a way to break my own chaotic patterns and at the same time knowing full well, what I heal in me, I heal in the collective. All I know is, in this moment, I am full of gratitude.

It is time for women to come into the light.  To dive in and journey to the unconscious, leaving behind all that we have been taught in this male dominated world and meet the frightened, angry, scared, repressed female, who is in PAIN and feels suffering is part of her path.  We have it within all of us to RISE UP and heal all of these unacknowledged parts of us and emerge with consciousness of the divine feminine energy we all carry.  To face the repression of 3500 plus years and heal it, integrate it and learn to love all aspects of ourselves in body and spirit, unconditionally.  

We have lived for too long without the full embodiment of what it means to be feminine, to live where the feminine voice is not repressed, where our bodies are accepted fully in whatever state presented. They are not sold or controlled.  It is time to awaken to a space where all (both men and women) live with balance of their divine masculine and feminine.  Time to understand we need both, not a world where the left side (feminine energy) has been nearly paralyzed.  The divine feminine is needed for the days ahead.  I have seen the light beginning to brighten in many of the women and men I meet, but there is still so much more to bring forth.

Are you ready to dive into yourself and face the chaos and then free her to come to light and be a part of leading the way?

Upon waking up each day, we are given a beautiful gift.  This gift gives us the freedom to design our day.

How amazing is that!!!!

Every morning in prayer, I ask for guidance and clarity to release what no longer serves me.  Those attachments to mindsets that keep me enslaved (old habits, patterns, beliefs and behaviors) or stuck.  Dropping those mental bonds developed over a lifetime to things and objects that through observation, modeling, reading and learning led me to believe they were somehow important to becoming happy.  Truthfully, as I drop them, it is like watching the master puppeteer, lose their strings that tie.  Attachments are part of our consciousness.  They bind us to the sensory world and inhibit our vision, knowledge and awareness. They lead us to react, determine our action, control our sorrow and joy and our failures and successes.  Our attachments to things, become so powerful that they take control of our body, our life, our mind, our personality and our future.

Besides all that they limit our freedom, autonomy, and our ability to be aware.

Attachments come in many forms:

~ Physical- how are body looks, the color, shape, our physical fitness, our health or sexual desires.  It also includes, our clothes, money, pets, people in our lives, food and where we live.

~ Mental – attachment to emotions, identity, family names, status and background, race, gender, social status, hobbies, habits, rules, religion, opinions, judgments, beliefs and prejudices.

~ Spiritual – these are attachments to beliefs, God, gods and goddesses, places of worship, scriptures, saints, virtue, morality, afterlife, spiritual life, symbols, ways one worships, and spiritual practices.

From a spiritual perspective there are no good or bad attachments.  All attachments bind, create karma, and stand in the way of becoming free. Attachments prevent us from being who we are and what we can be.  They hold us back from being in the flow of life.  We cannot be authentic with attachments.  We allow ourselves to be guided by the years and years of conditioning put upon us by society, parents, teachers, educators, political systems, retail and so on.

Attachment can be resolved by cultivating non-attachment.  Being willing to let go of everything and embrace change without feeling threatened by it.  By becoming aware of our thoughts, actions, habits by being mindful.

Here are a few examples of how I work on releasing attachment

1.  I have realized I have preferences for the food I eat.  I added in one food four times throughout the week, that I have told myself I didn’t like.  I also juiced fasted on a day that an event with amazing foods was being held.

2. Practiced silence when I had an urged by the compulsion to speak in a recent conversation.  I chose to listen to learn. Consider other viewpoints and opinions with which you have been conditioned to believe.

3.  Let go of attachments with discipline and perfection.  I have been disciplined to a schedule for some time.  As I work for myself, some scheduling is needed. I have dropped the beliefs of what days, times, or even amount of days, I am supposed to work.  I know base it on balance in my life with what I have chosen to be priorities.  Forgiveness for self and others is included in this suggestion.

4. Releasing possessions.  This week, I cleaned out closets, removed clutter and made donations.  Give away the things you do not need or use or are holding onto because they were given to you and held value by the giver. 

The more I release attachments, I am finding I can be unconditional in what I want, do, love and experience.  I am more present, becoming free of the memories of the past or concerned about the future.  Fears are dropping, stories are dropping and all the old baggage I had been carrying for decades is being released.  I am slowing learning to stop the becoming and just be.

Have fun releasing!!!!

Blessings

How Human Design can change your life

How amazing would it be to?

·       Consistently make correct decisions

·       Stress-free decision making

·       Understand and enjoy your unique characteristics

·       Live the life you have always wanted but didn’t know how to achieve

·       Recognize and let-go of negative conditioning

·       Live your design, love without fear

Human Design changes the way you live your life. Once you begin living from your Type, Strategy and Authority, the most noticeable change you will experience is making correct decisions.

Human Design’s basis comes from Nuclear Physics and Genetics and then combines with elements from the ancient systems of Astrology, the I Ching, the Chakra energy centers and the Kabbalah.  It is a logical and empirical system that you are able to use in your life every day.

How often have you said or heard others say, if only there was a manual for life?   Actually, there it is called your Human Design Chart.

To figure out your Human Design, all I need is your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth.  With that information, I am able to produce your Bodygraph.  The bodygraph (see example) will tell you whether you are a Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor or Reflector.  Unlike how most of us have lived our lives, your Type is not a mental process.  It is how you are to function in the world.  It gives you a description of how to live your life.

The most amazing thing is your Type and your Design are unique to you.  In going over your chart, you will learn how to use your chart in practical ways and make your life the dream you always wanted.  What is better than learning to appreciate and use your uniqueness to uncover the you, that you were born to be.

Since learning about Human Design and incorporating it into my life, every facet has changed.  I am so much more at ease with decision making, being comfortable with my uniqueness, improving how I communicate and relate to others I am in relationship with and seeing for the first time, how to be the best me in work and in my spiritual life.

Human Design will change your life.

SCHEDULE A SESSION AT www.kaiaalline.com/schedule

After booking the consultation, I will prepare your chart and send to you before our consultation.  We will have 2 hours to go over the detail and cover the basics of what you need to know to begin living your Design immediately.  Your session will be recorded and sent to you after session and is yours to keep.

When you look at your human design chart for the first time, it may look a bit overwhelming and like many looking at their chart for the first time, they have no idea what is what. Once you know your type (Generator/Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor or Reflector), begin to understand your strategy and authority, then you can begin to look at open and closed centers, gates and channels and your profile.

Profile is just another way to look at yourself and where you are going and what your life is all about.  Each of us came into the world with a specific profile or purpose.  The more you are able to understand your profile, the easier it is to gain understanding on your purpose.  The more you live your design, the more your purpose becomes a reality.

There have been a couple of times lately where I have found myself in my not-self-strategy as I noticed I was pushing myself to be out and about more than I normally am.  As I was chatting with a client who has the same profile as I do, the light clicked on- that I had fallen back into ways I used to cope, ways of living that are not me, instead of being at peace and allowing who I am to just flow.  The conversation offered me reflection on how much of my life I had been fighting my true nature, attempting to be much more extroverted, being on the go, trying to be someone I am not or made simpler, wearing a costume that just didn’t fit.  It now makes so much sense as to why so much of my life felt so difficult.

Gaining understanding that many of us are walking around in roles, that are not part of our design nor are they doing us much good.  Once you have your human design chart, ask yourself, do these “roles” fit me? Am I wearing the right costume? Do I feel free or restricted?

My profile is the 6/2 -  Role Model/Hermit.  I had fallen back into trying to live the 4/1 and the 5/1 outfits that were conditioned into me from childhood and while I have learned the hard way they do not fit, sometimes, I still fall back.  Thankfully, I caught it and put those old pieces back in the closet as they no longer are mine, nor do they fit well.

Being able to relax and live comfortably in the 6/2 profile is easier and brings a sense of contentment.  It feels right and brings a beautiful energy to my being.  As each of you learn your profiles, you will find another unique and powerful vibration to express yourself based on your time of birth.  Having the understanding of the lines will give you an opportunity to understand your individual gifts and of course to begin to understand others around you.

Profiles are determined by the position of your personality sun/earth and your design sun/earth in the bodygraph.  The personality is who you think you are and what you identify with, that is combined with your unconscious design that represents the physical body. Your profile impacts how we differentiate as unique human beings.  The same profile will be expressed quite differently through each Type, that means a 6/2 Generator experiences and manifests their profile differently than a 6/2 Projector.

Gaining understanding of my profile and learning to embrace the natural rhythm of the 6th line which is the role model has been quite freeing.  The role model has a three-part life process: the first 30 years of life is trial and error, moving into settling and healing until age 50, then finally walking in the world as a Role Model.  While I have had some deconditioning, and waking up to fully reach the third phase, I am beginning to embody her now and appreciate the wisdom, happiness and the purpose for being here I am seeing.  I am enjoying the process.

My 2nd line profile, the hermit has brought forth that I have many talents and have become comfortable when others encourage me to share my unique talents with the world.  I am so much more at peace with my need to be alone to nurture myself, my space, and my talents.  I love being comfortable with my alone time, setting boundaries that I am really okay in that aloneness. It is a gift to realize who you are and be at ease with it.

There are 6 lines.  Below I will give a brief description of each.

1st line – Investigator – person who studies and looks at things deeply, a strong foundation is needed to feel secure.

2nd line – Hermit – a natural talent, will need a lot of alone time, waits for the calling

3rd line – Martyr – trial and error, finds out how things work by going through what doesn’t first, may have many relationships, jobs, etc. to find what works

4th line – Opportunist – influential, very communicative, network of friends, acquaintances and associates

5th line- Heretic – seductive and attractive energy that attract projections and expectations from others

6th line – Role Model – acts as 3rd line in the first 30 years, then authority for others, detached from life (between 30th and 50th year) to finally become a role model (after 50th year).

There are 12 profiles: 1/3, 1/4, 2/5, 3/5, 4/6, 5/1, 5/2, 6/2 and 6/3.  The profile must be seen in relation to your type. 

There are 12 profiles: 1/3, 1/4, 2/5, 3/5, 4/6, 5/1, 5/2, 6/2 and 6/3.  The profile must be seen in relation to your type. 

From the moment you know you are becoming a parent, so many questions start going through your mind.  What will they be like? Will I know what to do? Do you know how wonderful a parenting manual would be?

The beautiful thing is, a Human Design chart has all the information you need whether you are an infant or an adult in your 50’s.  The beauty of having a chart for your children is that you can teach and encourage them from a very young age to live according to their true nature and how to navigate life with ease that most of us have never known.

Parenting can be stressful, yet with a Human Design Chart, it doesn’t have to be

In looking at your child’s human design chart, you will see their true nature and their strengths. 

Knowing your own Design and that of your child allows for unchangeable, genetically-driven family dynamics to be shown.  Being able to see what cannot be changed in the family dynamic, gives you freedom from trying to change the unchangeable and can help you focus on alternative ways to problem solve.

How amazing would it be from birth to truly know your child, to understand each stage of development and what to expect, to have a method of being able to teach your child how to be self-empowered and to always feel loveable?  How wonderful as the parent to also be clearing your patterns and personal conditioning that may be influencing your parenting style as you are working with your chart.

When we are gifted with these little beings, our role is to guide and show them how to navigate the world we live in by helping them find appropriate ways to love, be empowered, authentic and to become comfortable expressing their true self.  Being able to parent them in a way that encourages and supports their growth, yet, still know how teach them, to feed their bodies correctly, make good choices with friends, education and garner all the skills to get from childhood to adulthood.

Utilizing your child’s human design chart, mentoring your child in a safe environment to become themselves is the greatest gift we can give them.  Their chart shows you as the parent what your child is here for, what roads in their life are going to be their strengths and capabilities.  How amazing it is to be able to see your child for what and who they are?

To Fully Embrace Your Child by their DESIGN: If my child is a:

Generator: They need to be asked yes/no questions and respect their response.  They are naturally responsive and need to be encouraged to pay attention to their response.  Generator children make non-verbal sounds that will let you know a positive, negative, or neutral response to everything they encounter.  When a generator child is taught to act only in response to be asked or presented with something, and to act only when the response is clearly positive or negative.  As a parent, understanding sound is vital and not to force a generator child to say the words “yes” or “no” in place of their sounds (grunts/groans).  Once a child learns their natural response then teaching the way society expects politeness in words will be easy.  It just isn’t a process to rush.  As a parent becoming comfortable and willing to take “no” for an answer when you have asked your generator child a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer is important.  It is very healthy for a generator child to be able to say “no”.

Projector: invite them into things and encourage them to study, what you as the parent recognizes, “turns them on”, or excites them.  Projector children need to be recognized and appreciated for who they are.  They need to be invited to experiment, to explore and to experience all that life has to offer.  Some projector children will not accept many of the invitations being offered.  They will say “no”.  An invitation is an invitation and no a command and so accepting that ‘no’ or negotiating that ‘no’ is dependent on how well you the parent knows your child’s full human design chart to appreciate your child’s talents, strengths and vulnerabilities.  This will help you to guide your child in knowing which invitations are ‘good’ for them and which ones are not.

Manifestor: teaching them manners (to ask permission as polite informing).  Manifestor children can be difficult for many parents.  They are not naturally controllable because they know intuitively that they can “just do it” themselves without help from anyone.  Teaching a manifestor child to ask for permission is extremely important.  The parents need to not unreasonable deny the child’s requests so that the child and parent build trust in their relationship.  Manifestor children need to be treated politely so that they can learn to treat others politely.  It is important to help the manifestor child to understand that their action have a strong impact on others.  Learning this early on, will help them to understand the importance of informing others who will be impacted by their actions, which will keep all their relationships running smoother.

Reflector: observing them as they are the barometer of how the family operates and knowing that they cannot be rushed as they need the full lunar cycle (28.5 days) to make major decisions.

If the reflector child is laughing, jumping around, those around this child are feeling good.  If your reflector child is crying, someone in their environment is having a difficult time, emotionally.  The reflector child reflects everything in the environment around them.  In social settings, they will want to be near the middle or center of the action.  This is their natural place as they read the environment around them to gather information to make decisions from.  It is vital to not RUSH a reflector child in any type of decision.  They need a lot of time and for major decisions, a whole month, before they will know if it is right or not for them.  As a parent of a reflector, learning patience so as to allow the child the time they need to reflect on things.

The beautiful things is that as a parent, the more you know your own design and our living it, parenting your child by their design, the easier life will be.  Each of you will know your truths and values and the roads to travel.  In working with a few families, children over 8 have a much easier time grasping their designs and beginning to live them, than most of the adults.

Give yourself and your child the gift of knowing who they are.  To have a human design chart done, contact me for details at www.sangeetram.com or sangeet@sangeetram.com

In the past few weeks we have looked at all the different Human Design types and their characteristics, strategy and authority and how open and closed centers affect our lives.

To create a Human Design Chart, you only need to provide your birth date, time and place.  Your birth date is used to calculate your Astrological Chart that is then converted into the Human Design Body Graph (64 Gates).  The Body Graph also gives us the information to understand our Type (Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor or Reflector).  Type explains a Strategy and operates in all layers of consciousness changing with you and that leads to recognizing inner authority, and profiles. 

Your birth date, time and place, is used to create your ‘Personality’ graph (black row of numbers), these represent the I-Ching hexagrams associated with waking consciousness.  The red column of numbers is calculated by using the date 88 Solar degrees (roughly 88 days) before your birth to create your ‘Design’ graph; these red numbers represent the I-Ching hexagrams associated with your Unconscious, i.e., what is beneath your awareness.  The red numbers translate t red lines in the body graph while the black numbers translate as black lines. 

Each number in the body graph is called a Gate and represents one of the 64 I-Ching hexagrams.  Each number in the two columns of you birth data translates to Gates in the Body Graph- these Gates are now activated.  Two Gates that connect two centers are a called a channel.  If you have two activated Gates that create one Channel, e.g., Gate 17 and Gate 62 (see chart above) you have a Defined Channel – both sides of the gates are filled with color.  Each Gate and Each Channel carry a different energy.

These energies determine who you are, how you connect, react, communicate, how you are in life.  For example, Gate 17 carries an energy that is called “Gate of Opinions “, Gate 62 is called “Gate of Details”, and the channel from Gate 17 to Gate 62 is called, “Channel of Acceptance”. Depending on a Channel being Defined or not, these energies have different effects.

The Human Design System is an intelligent designed system grounding it as human science.  As human being we are highly evolved and complex energetic fields layered in strata.  The 9 centers, 64 gates and 36 channels as designed in the Body Graph – is our matrix.  There are so many configurations for each human and explains our uniqueness.  With our colored closed centers that show where we are stable and reliable to our open white centers that highlight for us aspects that are vulnerable as we take in and amplify surrounding energies- which for that moment change you into someone you are not.

The 64 Gates

A Gate is a door belonging to a center.  There are 64 Gates, each relating their corresponding Hexagram in the I-Ching system as well as to a specific codon of your 64 codons DNA.  Gates are potentials, energies, intelligences, resources.  

While we have 64 Gates, only a maximum of 26 may be activated.  When you look at your chart, see if there are some Gates colored red and black; if so, your aura has less than 26 activated Gates.  This isn’t bad or something being wrong.  It just shows that these potentials have been activated twice, 88 days before birth and at birth and may have received multiple imprints from various planets of our solar system. 

When activated, colored red and/or black, Gates are stable, reliable, and important to our uniqueness.  If a Gate is undefined, - colored white- it is open, as such it mirrors what’s around; it is a vulnerability point, open to the corresponding energies that we may take in.  In Human Design, this is called “conditioning”.

36 Channels

Channels are linking the Centers; made of 2 Gates from 2 different Centers, they allow energy from Center A to flow to Center B, but only when each of the 2 Gates are activated.  You can see in your Human Design Chart Channels are full black/red colored, others half colored or completely white.  In a full colored Channel, energies flow from the 2 centers on each side of it.

A fully colored Channel is named “Definition”.  A red/black or red and black Definition is a transforming agent of your aura, as it defines the 2 centers at each of its sides.  You are permanently impacted by its presence when you see it in your Human Design Chart; you may also be conditioned by its punctual appearance when someone having it comes close to you.  As long as that encounter lasts, your aura is transformed into another field.

A definition is also a life-force field that deeply influences you and the others around you which alike- channel is undefined, open, white in their own aura.  When colored red, you are unconscious of its influence both on yourself and others- though they can feel its impact on them.  This could explain why others perceive you so differently than you do.  There is a huge difference between a fully and a half define Channel: with the former, you feel self-sufficient; with the later one, that Gate activated is searching for its completion, the potential on the other end of the Channel.
