When we are looking for love from a place of lack or trying to find wholeness, we get a honeymoon period of feel goodness (like a dopamine hit), but are often left feeling even emptier than we started.

What happens if we first cultivate this feeling of wholeness within ourselves?

“Step into your power,” this super sexy buzz phrase, is not something we do through the mind. We step into ourselves and express our inherent life force simply by allowing our bodies to tell us what is correct for us or not while the mind watches with fascination as the movie unfolds. We embody our power, we observe it, we allow it.

The first question I often hear from Generators and Projectors entering into the Human Design experiment is, ‘but if I’m waiting to respond or waiting to be invited, how am I going to make a living?’’

Our homogenized society has praised this idea of selflessness, but can we take care of anyone else if we are not taking care of ourselves? If our energy is being expended in ways that deplete instead of nourish, can the energy continue to give?

For as long as I allow my mind to control where I go based on trying to fill some kind of lack, this feeling of discomfort will stay.

We could call this the rise of the feminine, or the rebalancing of the yin or in Human Design, the awakening to the form. We are learning how to be in our bodies. How to move from a strategic, control & fear-based structure to a receptive, awake and aware openness to life.
