In addition to your Human Design Energy Type , Strategy , and Decision Making Authority , you came into the world with a life purpose / life ’ s work and many skills and talents to support you in achieving your life ’ s purpose / life ’ s work . Those skills and talents are identified in the 64 Gates in Human Design , those little numbers inside of the shapes in your chart . The numbers that are highlighted are your natural skills and talents .
Each one of these energies is a behavioral archetype and has a light side and a shadow side . Where you are expressing yourself from the shadow side of an energy archetype , your energetic vibration is low , and you are blocked from expressing your full energetic potential .
People you encounter as clients , prospects , vendors , colleagues , in your business can feel your energy , and it impacts whether they feel positive about your dealings with them . If there is heavy shadow influence , it can create mistrust , suspicion , lack of confidence in you , an unwillingness to build a relationship or work with you , poor communication , even conflict in your dealings with others .
We have been conditioned to act and be a certain way in business and that conditioning can cause us to live in the shadow side of some of our energies when we are at work . We put on our business personas and hide our true selves .
It ’ s not about whether you have the skill or talent , but how you express it . For example , let ’ s take the skill Impact . Impact , which is Gate 6 in the Human Design Chart is about mastering your emotional energy to serve others with positive influence . If you are living in the light expression of this energy , you will use diplomacy and emotional intelligence to assess the needs of others and serve them unselfishly . But if you are operating out of the shadow side of this energy , you may be tackless , uncaring , and self-serving , still making an impact , but not a positive one .
MOVING FROM SHADOW ENERGY TO LIGHT ENERGY
So how do you become stuck in the shadow energy ? There are several reasons , past experiences , fear , feeling you don ’ t know enough or aren ’ t enough , some trauma you didn ’ t fully process , or even being told what to do and how to act .
Doing the inner work around each of your skills and talents in your highlighted gates will help you raise your emotional frequency and improve the possibilities for you in your business . The things to look at for each skill / talent / gate are :
• Do You Trust Yourself ?
• Do You Face Your Fears By Strengthening Your Courage ?
• Do You Have Heathy Self Worth ?
• How Well Do You Manage Your Emotions ?
• Do You Feel Empowered ?
• Are You Being Authentic ?
DO YOU TRUST YOURSELF ?
Only you know what is right for you . You must listen to yourself . Get in touch with your
BUSINESS , SUCCESS & MINDSET
