Recently I started back on track of the Master Herbalist program I signed up for months ago.  Life got in the way and it kept getting pushed to the back of the pile.  I also feel like I wasn't quite in the state to move on with my studies.  More work needed to be done on myself before I could go onto the next class which was all about nutrition and "Eating to Live"

Food has been such a strong conditioning force in my life.  It has been what I've used to self sooth and deal with my undefined Solar Plexus center.  Hi, I'm Mallory and I'm an emotional eater.

Having worked on so much of my deconditioning especially around the Heart Center and releasing feelings of needing to prove myself and stop making promises has been huge for my mental health and also starting my journey of healing my relationship with food.

What I've come to realize is that I genuinely want to take care of my physical body for many reasons, but through my Human Design studies and following Strategy and Authority I've learned that this is the upmost importance.

Think about Human Design for a min and where your Authority lies. For most of us, with the exception of mental projectors and reflectors, our authority lies in an energy center located within the body.  Remember the Head or Ajna center is NEVER an authority.  

It is our physical form that makes the decisions for us. And our attraction field is held in the G center so this attracts to us what we receive in life through the 3D plane we live on.  

So after much pondering and contemplation it has made me realize how important it is to have a clean and healthy body.  If my body is not cleansed how can I possibly be receiving all of its signals correctly?

Now for my mental projectors and reflectors, even though your authority is environmental or follows the lunar cycle you still use your body's mechanics more than your mind to feel through the process to make your decisions. These are not mental decisions.  So I would venture to say it is even more important for you to have a clean physical form to really be able to "read" the energy field around you.

Ok so where do you start on your health journey.  There are so many places and sometimes food in not the place because soooooo much conditioning is held in this area of our lives.

But if you are in a space and your authority is telling you food is the place for you to start here are a couple of books I recommend... you can snag these form your local Library or get them on amazon (links provided and yes I do get a small commission)

First up "Eat to Live:"  you can click on the image to order from Amazon.  This book written for Americans but can be applied to just about any wealthy country today and breaks down why we are so chronically ill.  For me chronic illness comes in two forms... not taking care of our physical form and not operating in alignment with how we are energetically designed to.  Dr. Fuhrman does advocate for a mainly plant based diet and does a good job arguing why it is important for the body to operate correctly through eating primarily plants.

I will also include that with 2027 coming and the eventual breakdown of the 49th gate I do think that it is important for us to be adopting a more plant based diet, but this is a blog post for another day.  If there is a ton of interest in this please leave me a comment below and I may be able to bump it up on my priory list to talk about.

The next book that has been a huge help for me in connecting why taking care of the physical form is important is "Transfiguration Diet". I love that the tag line for this book is: "Your Genetic Characteristics CAN be reprogramed" I feel this on a deep level of my soul and Human Design also backs this up from an energetic standpoint.  This book also focuses on a more plant based diet of Whole Foods and also goes into how eating this way supports us at a genetic level.

From all of the research I've done and experiences I've received just because you have a genetic disposition from something does not mean that gene will be triggered and you will end up with that health aliment. Seriously a good read.  Click on the image below to order from amazon or check it our from your library.

All of this is just the starting point.  My intention is to offer more of my research, findings, obervations, and experiences around how being mindful of your physical health will benefit your Human Design experiment and vice versa.

Stay tuned and have a great rest of your day!

With light and love,

Happy Rave New Year Beautiful Soul! 🌟

The Human Design "New Year" starts on January 22nd when the Sun moves into the 41st gate.

Now, why does the 41st gate mark the new year in Human Design?  This is because the 41st gate correlates with the start codon in our biological genetic code.

The Genetic Code is made up of combinations of 4 letters: A, T, C, & G. These letters are called bases and are the building blocks of our own unique genetic code. It is the different combinations of these letters that lets the body know what to create when making new cells, replacing old cells, and to heal.

When the spefic letter sequence: ATG shows up in your genetic code the body knows that this is the start of instructions of what to do next.

This 41st gate is connected to this ATG letter sequence and operates like a front door key to open the rest of the code.

So depending on what frequency your "front door" is in will affect the frequency of the rest of the house (your body, mind, and consciousness).

To understand where you are at, let's talk a little about the 41st gate and the energy it holds.

The 41st Gate is the Gate of Decrease  or the Gate of contraction and what this mean is it hold the energy of basically learning to be resourceful with what you have.  When there is a limitation of resources this can maximize your potential depending on how you deal with your limitations.

There is a great pressure within this gate because it is located in the Root Center, which is a pressure center, and the 41st gate holds the pressure to feel or have new experiences.  To use this energy properly we must focus and be fully present on one experience at a time.  When we do this we have the capacity to maximize the potential of each experience fully and transcend to a higher frequency.

If you'd like to learn more about the 41st, Root Center, and how they affect your design stay tuned because I'm in the processes of creating a course where we take a deep dive into the power held in the Root Center.

You can signup for my newsletter to stay in the loop when that will be released and I'll also send you my "Beginner's Guide to Aligned Energy Centers" by clicking here.

Until then, be present in your day today.  Focus on each new experience you have, one at a time.  Check in with each feeling you have simply observing where you're energetically at as you move into this New Year in Human Design.

As always if you have questions or comments feel free to post them below!

With light and love,

this is the time that many of us have been conditioned to start thinking about the coming year and set "goals" for what we want to achieve and do.

those with a defined Heart/Ego center.  Now, why do I say 'maybe'? because even if you have a defined Heart Center, where you have consistent access to willpower, if you're not in true alignment and functioning in a healthy space in that center the goals you create may not truly be in alignment for you and you won't be using that energy you have correctly.

When you have a defined Heart center and you're operating in a healthy and aligned way, traditional goal setting can be super powerful for you because you have the will power to see those goals through as long as those goals are in alignment and initiated from your Strategy and Authority.

Well, I suggest first contemplating if traditional goal setting has ever really worked for you.  Does it resonate? Does it keep you motivated? Or has it done more harm than good? Does it stress you out? Have you wondered why, year after year you can't stick to your goals?

With an undefined Heart Center you do not have consistent access to operating from pure willpower, you are not designed to make promises to yourself, or anyone else for that matter.  That's conditioning that will just set you up for failure.  

So instead of taking the route of setting traditional goals this year, take a breath, release the pressure, and try setting an intention for 2023.  Reframe those goals into intentions then surrender to your Strategy and Authority, take inspired action, and see where the year takes you.

If you'd like to learn more about the operating in alignment within each of your energy centers and de-conditioning you can snag the "Beginners Guide to Aligned Energy Centers" and I'll walk you through the Not-Self themes of each energy center to watch out for and contemplations to help you work through your conditioning so you can live with more ease, flow, and trust in life.

I'm so excited to see what you release in 2023 so you can step into the person you are designed to be.

To you're freedom,

Happy Winter Solstice!  Here's what you need to know from a Human Design Perspective...

Today (Dec. 21st 2022) and every Winter Solstice the Sun moves into the 10th Gate line 2.  This is written out 10.2

Gate 10 resides in the G center of the body graph which is our center of love, identity, and direction.

The 10th gate is the true love and acceptance of yourself as you were designed to be, not the conditioned self.

Ra Uru Hu, the founder of the Human Design System, always said that when we don't love ourselves it is not our true self that we do not love, but the conditioned self.

So every Winter Solstice is a day to work through our de-conditioning  and feel the energy of truly loving and accepting who we are designed to be.  To do this you simply surrender to your Strategy and Authority.  In doing this you take the first steps in releasing what is not truly yours and embrace your process of becoming you again.  

For today I encourage you to experiment fully with your Strategy and Authority by honoring it.  If you a Manifestor inform and take action on the things that have been calling to you,  Generators and Manifesting Generator see what you respond to throughout the day and what your authority tells you about those things, Projectors see what invitations comes your way and listen to your Authority if those invitations are correct for you.  If you're a Reflector fully experience the day be open to what the day brings and observe how different experiences shift the energy within you.

With the Sun being in the 2nd line of the 10th gate (10.2) this is the line of the hermit and how the hermit is designed to deal with conditioning is by withdrawing.  So if you are feeling like someone is trying to condition you away from your true self today, give yourself permission to withdraw.  Set that boundary in place today because that energy is there for you to utilize.  This gives you the space to not take that conditioning on. Listen to and follow your Strategy and Authority.

Winter Solstice brings with it a strong energy that empowers your potential to live authentically as yourself, embracing and accepting the unique being that you are.

Release what is not you and fall into deep love and acceptance of who you are designed to be, when you do this you empower others to do the same.  This is one way you can shift the world into a higher frequency.

Love yourself,

Mallory

This holiday season has been a little off for my family, I am genuinely sending all of the good energy to you and your family that you've experienced a little more holiday magic than we have in the last few weeks.

As all of your gatherings approach I wanted to share with you a few tips I have around how experiment with how you're designed this Holiday season.

For many of us this is truly a time of good cheer but for other's not so much.  I've personally found that as I've embraced my design and followed my Strategy and Authority (S&A) it has helped me tremendously stay in alignment as I see family and friends, some whom I adore and some whom, well... not so much.

So let's break down what following your S&A looks like during your holiday gatherings.

Generators and Manifesting Generators...

Take a step back and observe what you respond to.  How is your sacral energy responding to different people and/or situations?  Start getting in touch with your sacral energy and see what it feels called to want more of and what it recoils from.  See what your open aura is pulling towards you.  Just observe, this will give you a good indication of where your energy is at.

Same with you, take a step back and observe. Instead of feeling obligated in initiating conversation wait for the other to engage with you.  Be at peace if you just want to talk to one person the whole event and really dive into that conversation. Do your best to focus on one person at a time, remember you have a very penetrating aura that is meant to hone in on and connect with one person at a time.  Wait to give/offer advice until you are invited to by the other, save your wisdom and energy for those that ask for it.

If you want to try a fun experiment with your aura, zero your focus in on someone and see how long it takes them to turn around.

Stand in your power and listen to that inner authority. If there is something that your authority is telling you listen to it and then as politely as possible inform those whom you need to about your decision, then take action.  Your true people will understand and follow if they're meant to.  You're designed to be an initiator so if there is a fun game or some other activity you've been wanting to do, set it up and invite the other's to join you and go do your thing!

Really observe the differences in your energy when you're around different groups of people.  How you're feeling your energy is a reflection of those people around you. Do you feel healthy and happy? Do you feel more uplifted?  Does your energy feel more pulled down to a lower frequency? You have so much wisdom in the healthy of other's physically. emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.  Start to tap into that because it's your super power.  Allow yourself to taste the energy of others, but remember to be a screen not a sponge.  You do not need to take on their energy, simply observe it. Then when you get some remember to tune into your energy centers and do a little clearing out of what is not your energy.

You are designed and worthy of being with people that bring more joy and loving energy into your life.  You are worthy of having other's lift your frequency up and not bring it down.  You are not here to people please.  You can be kind and Stand strong in who you are.  This is the perfect time to experiment with your Strategy and Authority, be light hearted in this experiment, look at is through the eyes of a child with curiosity.  Let go of the judgement and just observe.

Remember people's behavior says more about them then it does you.

Sending you all of the love this holiday season,
