Let’s talk about secrets.  More specifically, as an Energy Coach and Energy Healing Practitioner, I have been feeling called to talk about the potentially suppressive energy of secrets.

HOLDING ONTO A SECRET

When we hold onto a secret, whether positive or negative, we are essentially holding onto an energy.  Everything is a form of energy.  A secret is a form energy. Whether you think about it in terms of a series of thoughts, a series of beliefs, emotions, an experience, a memory – these are all forms of energy.

Rather than allowing the energy of the secret to naturally flow through us, I believe that when we keep certain secrets, it creates the potential to trap the energy of that secret in our energy body, perhaps creating an energetic block in our energy field.

DISRUPTING THE FLOW OF ENERGY

The premise of many energy healing modalities is that when the body’s energy field is in balance and energy is flowing in a natural way, our mind and body are much more capable of functioning effectively.  On the other hand, when we disrupt the natural flow of our body’s energy field, it creates the possibility for negative effects on our mind and body.  I believe that this happens when we hold onto certain secrets. 

CHECK FOR YOURSELF

A simple way to consider this concept is to recall a secret you once held.  For the purposes of this exploration, I recommend working with a secret you feel safe and ready to recall.  Maybe it’s a secret you are still holding onto.  Notice how the energy of holding this secret feels in your body.  Each secret may feel different, so keep that in mind as I share the different ways a secret may energetically feel in my own body.  Sometimes I notice tightness in different parts of my body, other times I notice an energy that feels like it’s “pushing down” into my sacral and/or solar plexus centers.  It can sometimes feel heavy and I sometimes notice a difference in my breathing.  Sometimes, I might describe the feeling as uncomfortable or restrictive.

Notice what it feels like for you. Again, your experience may be different than mine.

MY TOOLKIT

There are different ways to work with energy that becomes stuck in our energy body.  As an Energy Coach and Energy Healing Practitioner, the toolkit that I reach for when working with clients consists of various Energy Healing modalities, such as the Emotion Code, Theta Healing, Energy Healing within the Akashic Field and Human Design.

Within the Human Design system, there are five Human Design types:

1. Manifestors

2. Generators

3. Manifesting Generators

4. Projectors

5. Reflectors

Each type has a general role they are here to fulfill and a strategy that helps them to work with rather than against the natural flow of their energy.

Much of what you learn about yourself within the lens of Human Design has to do with your unique energetic blueprint. This blueprint shows you how your energy naturally flows within different areas of your life. When you learn to work with that natural flow, it opens up a more easeful way to move through life.

MANIFESTORS

Manifestors make up 9% of the population and are here to initiate. They are the trailblazers and change makers and have an ability to ignite others into action. They are the only type that can initiate projects and ideas without some sort of external cue because their inspiration comes directly from Source.

They have a strong energetic aura that can be felt by others around them. As such, their strategy is to inform others before they act. This doesn’t mean they need to ask for permission. In fact, because of their powerful initiating energy, they aren’t here to be told what to do or what not to do. However, by informing others before acting, it gives people around them a chance to move out of their way, to support them or to be inspired into acti0n.

GENERATORS

Generators make up 37% of the population and are here to build, to do the work and to become masterful at the art of building and working. Their role to build and work gives them access to the energy required to fulfill that role as long as they are using their strategy, which is to wait to respond.

They are designed to dance and continuously cultivate their relationship with the universe as they create. Before leaping into action by internal inspiration alone, they can find a more easeful path by waiting to respond to clues, cues, and signals that the universe sends them within their environment.

MANIFESTING GENERATORS

You can think of Manifesting Generators like a hybrid of Manifestors and Generators. They make up 33% of the population. They’re mostly known as a being a Generator type with Manifestor qualities. Like pure Generators, they are here to do the work, to build and to master the art of working and building. They have a non-linear approach to life, look for shortcuts to their mastery, a desire to sample #allofthethings and are here to remind us to be lit up by life.

They have a dual strategy of informing before acting (from their Manifestor side) and waiting to respond (from their Generator side).

PROJECTORS

Projectors make up 20% of the population. They are intuitively connected to what’s possible. Projectors are here to know and guide others towards that possibility. They hold within them the template for a new era in humanity and their role is to help the rest of us move into that new era.

Before they share their immense wisdom of what’s possible for an individual or for whatever they are involved in, the projector strategy is to wait to be invited. These invitations show them who they are here to guide.

REFLECTORS

Reflectors are our shiny unicorns and make up just 1% of the population. They have an important role to reflect how well the communities they are in are doing. They have the unique ability to hold up a mirror to others around them so they can see themselves reflected in the reflector’s experience.

Because they are constantly reflecting, sampling and amplifying the energy around them, they need time to tease out everyone else’s energy from their own. It’s important for them to take more time than others to feel into their decisions. As such, their strategy is to wait a full moon cycle to make big decisions in their lives.

AN INTRODUCTION

Human Design is like a guidebook that shows you a natural way to engage in life based on your personal energy. Your Human Design chart is formulated using the date, time and place of your birth.  This information tells the story of the energy that surrounded you at birth and gives specific information about how you were designed to: 

• create in an empowering, exciting and successful way

• make decisions with more ease and in alignment with who you are

• experience energy in the world

• exchange energy, or interact, with others

• approach and navigate life

• live a truly meaningful and authentic life.

Your Human Design chart is your energetic blueprint to help you understand who you came here to be and how to live out the highest expression of your potential and your authentic self.

SO, I’M NOT BROKEN?

Spoiler: No, you’re not.

For most of my life, I’ve always been intrigued by #allthethings. I’d get excited about something and want to go try out that thing.  I chased the things that felt exciting.  Because there were so many new things to check out that I was excited about, this often meant not finishing everything that I was exploring.  If I was done with it and it no longer felt exciting, I was onto the next thing.

There came a point in my life, that I started to feel self-conscious about that approach. After all, you’re “supposed to” finish things, right? And you’re “supposed to” stick to one thing.  And if it was related to a career, you’re “supposed to” pursue something stable and you’re “not supposed to” pursue something simply because you felt excited about it.

When I discovered Human Design, I felt so seen when I realized that all of this was “written” in my chart.  What I had started to think of as my flaws were actually a purposeful part of me.  Rather than feeling ashamed about what I was drawn to and how I was called to move through life, I started to honor these parts of me as my personal navigation system. This gave me so much peace and an ability to embrace myself for who I am.  

WHERE DID HUMAN DESIGN COME FROM? 

Human Design was founded by Ra Uru Hu. In 1987, Ra had a spiritual encounter that lasted 8 days, when he essentially channeled the information that later became the Human Design System. 

It’s a synthesis of:

• Eastern and Western Astrology

• The Hindu Chakra system

• The Judaic Kaballah

• The Chinese I Ching

• Quantum Physics.

HOW DOES IT HELP ME FIND MY TRUTH?

It’s like a map that shows you your natural state of being. It shows you the pure essence of your energy, which is your energetic being underneath the external stories and conditioning that all of us experience.  When we return to and live from that original essence, we return to our truth, our nature.

HOW DO I FIND OUT WHAT MY HUMAN DESIGN TYPE IS?

There are 5 Human Design types. You can learn more about what those are here. You can also request a copy of your free chart here. You’ll need your date, exact time and place of birth.

While we are practicing physical distancing these days, we are still energetically mingling.

How is that?

Energy is not limited by distance, so we’re energetically mingling with each other, even when apart. We’re also energetically mingling with the energy of situations, thoughts, emotions, stories, and literally anything and everything.

So, why am I bringing this up? I have found that, when addressing things that aren’t serving us, that working in the energetic space first makes everything so much easier.

For any of you experiencing any sort of emotions or energies that just aren’t serving you these days, like fear, anxiousness, frustration or uncertainty, that can feel super disempowering. To more quickly return to your personal power, you can invite yourself to create energetic distance when interacting with these emotions, energies and the situations that are triggering them.

Become an Observer

Becoming an observer is my favorite way to create energetic distance between me and rocky situations. Here are some tips to help you successfully step into the role of observer:

1. Observe from afar: picture yourself holding binoculars on one side of a field observing a situation on the other side of the field that would normally throw you off balance. This helps you mentally create energetic distance between you and the situation you’re observing.

2. Be neutral: as you make observations, gather neutral facts, free from stories or emotions.

3. Notice what’s not yours: remain an observer as you notice other people’s emotions and stories that may show up in the situation you’re observing. This helps reinforce the distance between you and those energies.

4. Stay present: traveling by thought into the past or the future can often create false narratives.

Words and names carry energy.

That energy can be positive. It can be negative. Or it can also be a combination of both.

The Toxic Energy Attached to the C-Name

The ‘new’ virus, which is behind the current volatile environment, was assigned a name. Oftentimes, this name has been used by the media and other sharers of information, in a very manipulative way. It’s been shared in a way to create and amplify negative emotions of fear and panic.

Manipulation, fear and panic are very toxic energies. Fear and panic are among the lowest emotions on the emotional scale. Then, there’s all of the other toxic energies being associated with the name as well.

When a large number of people are using a name in a manipulative way, whether intentionally or unintentionally, to assign fear and panic, all of that toxic energy attaches to that name.

This is similar to what happens with names given to natural disasters that receive a lot of media coverage and attention. Another example, we know too well in the United States, is the toxic energy that gets associated with the names of schools who have suffered through a mass shooting. In these types of examples, something similar occurs in that a lot of negative thoughts, emotions and beliefs attach to a name.

Read this previous blog post for a perspective on Toxic Collective Energy.

Macro’s

A macro (or macroinstruction), in computer programming language, “is a programmable pattern which translates a certain sequence of input into a preset sequence of output.” (www.computerhope.com/jargon)

Basically, it’s a shortcut. It’s an abbreviated input that prompts a more sophisticated output. A pattern is programmed into a shortcut to prompt a subsequent set of actions.

Positive Macro’s in Energy Healing

In energy healing circles, we sometimes create macros (shortcuts) for energy healing intentions that are lengthy. They come in handy for intentions that are used frequently. It allows for a more efficient way to prompt energy healing. An abbreviated positive intention (the macro) is programmed to have the same effect as a more elaborate (i.e. longer) positive intention.

The C-Name as a Negative Macro

The C-Name for the virus has become a macro that automatically programs fear, panic and other negative energy. This is simply what happens on an energetic level. Remember, words and names carry energy. That energy comes from the meaning associated with the word/name as well as any emotions, thoughts and beliefs attached to it.

When a word/name is first used, it doesn’t yet have the collective energy that it eventually will. It’s more neutral in the beginning. Over time, and according to how it’s used, the intentions behind its use and the agreement by others regarding those intentions all contribute to the eventual collective energy behind it.

When emotions, thoughts and beliefs are directed at a name, it starts to carry the cumulative vibration of those emotions, thoughts and beliefs. We eventually reached a point with the C-Name that simply using/hearing the name will often automatically create the response of fear and panic.

My Alternate Name

In my previous blog post, I shared that I’m using the word “distraction” to identify the virus and everything that’s happening as a result of it.

So, why the word “distraction?” I’m practicing surrender with what’s happening. Complying with shelter in place orders mandated by the city, county, and state. Going with the flow of homeschooling the kids. Shifting, pivoting, adjusting day by day and hour by hour according to what’s being presented to me with this situation. Basically, digging deep and not dwelling on what I can’t control.

What I can control is my own internal state. My goal is to remain as energetically clear as possible. It’s tested often and sometimes I stumble, but I try to return to my path. My journey for a long time has been to return to the truth of who I am, unlayering untruths and releasing negative energies that don’t belong to me.

What’s happening right now, is a huge distraction to that work, to that journey. Calling it a distraction reminds me of that. It helps me stay focused on my journey.

Find your Alternate Name

If the word I choose doesn’t resonate for you, that’s okay too. If the rest of this is stirring up some truth for you, may I suggest finding a word that rings truer for you, a word that helps you stay out of the spiral. For some, it may feel good to choose a word that sparks humor. Obviously, don’t be a jerk about it, but you get the point. Let’s encourage ourselves to stay above the toxic energy and not get pulled into an automatic response based on the energies being assigned to names and issues going on out there.
