Autumn Awakening
Slanted Autumn light
tumbles through my body
awakens me
to every fall that ever was.
Only a season
expressed in a moment
leaves me the golden peace
of a world full of color.

I have been thinking about this concept ever since listening to the audio book The Wisdom of Your Cells. One of life’s big mysteries is “from where does consciousness come?” and “who is the ‘I’ that is aware?” Over the past couple of months it is becoming clear to me that we are really just a radio receiver through which consciousness flows. The particular consciousness that we experience is based on the “energetic channel” to which we are attuned. If we want to experience something different, we need to change our energetic channel. There is no “I” that is separate. There is only the big consciousness soup being filtered by our individual receivers.
Truthfully, we are not just a single receiver, however. We are far to complex to experience only one thing. In fact, you could look at each of our individual cells as its own consciousness receiver. Each cell vibrates on a specific energy wave and attracts the consciousness that broadcasts on its frequency. The result of this is many different experiences and many different energetic patterns flowing through us. In fact, only some of these energetic receptions will be conscious.
The body does so many things without our conscious awareness. In fact, according to Dr. Hew Len “there are only 15 bits of information available to my conscious mind, while there are 15 million bits present at any one time.” A similar concept is echoed in The Wisdom of Your Cells. In other words, the majority of our energetic reception is unconscious. This leaves the possibility of our radios being tuned to a channel that we don’t like, but since it’s unconscious - we tend to blame others, thinking that it must be their radio that’s playing the themes we don’t like. The reality? If we would just change our own frequency, or channel, the song that we don’t like would stop playing. What makes this concept so difficult is the realization and acceptance that you manifested everything you have in your life based on your frequency - both the positive and the negative, whether it’s situations or people.
So, how do you change the channel when you are playing a frequency in your life that you don’t like? There is more than one way. The first and best way is to love yourself. Love is the optimal frequency to attune. Sometimes to get to love, you must forgive yourself for tuning to the wrong frequency. To take a page from the Hawaiian healing system Ho ‘Oponopono, take responsibility for everything in your life. Say to yourself - “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.” It works surprisingly well for being so simple. Another method is the clearing process that I coined “The Joy Process.” The Joy Process takes a current problem in your life and helps you see where the true source of the problem lies. It then helps you clear the unconscious energetic frequency of the problem and then attunes you to the new frequency of your conscious choice. Bottom line, changing the channel is all about clearing out the negative energy patterns and replacing them with positive vibes.
Refining your frequency is a process that takes time and commitment. When you remove the roadblocks and the negative frequencies, you begin to live in the state of inspiration and love. Old patterns and problems shift out of your life in a miraculous way. It’s all a matter of moving yourself from a state of self-judgement to a state of self-love. When you change the channel, you melt away the frustration and tune yourself to the state of peace and inspiration.
Coming to you live from WJOY, this is Heidi, signing off. Have a great night.
I love Human Design. When I first discovered Human Design, I got into it because it was fascinating brain candy. However, if you’ve been around Human Design for any period of time, you learn that it’s not about learning about your personality for the sake of knowing the interesting details. You learn Human Design so you can live its wisdom. When you learn your Human Design, you learn your unique life strategy and the place in your body where you make good decisions. Once you start experimenting with this new knowledge…well, that’s when the magic happens.
As of late, I have been witnessing so many wonderful things coming as a result of practicing Human Design. It’s not just me that is experiencing the benefits - I can see it all around me in the lives of those who have been open enough to experiment with their own Design. I personally have been “living my design” for 2 and a half years now. Before Human Design, I used to feel like I had to force everything in my life to happen. If I wanted something, I had to set a goal and make it happen. I was very stressed out and relatively miserable about certain aspects of my life.
Then I started the experiment of making decisions the Human Design way. I had to be very conscious of every decision I was making to see if it was coming from my mind or if I was using my intuition (which happens to be my decision making authority.) When I first started being true to my intuitive decision making process, my brain would go crazy and try to talk me out of it. But I stayed as strong as I could and made as many decisions as I could from my intuition. Now, 2.5 years later, a major shift has occurred in my life. I noticed it the other day. I am no longer pushing the current of my life. The current shifted and is now pushing me…
Life is now living and expressing through me.
I don’t have to force anything anymore. If I have a conflict, I just wait patiently until my intuition tells me how to move. I notice that most things resolve themselves. I have better relationships in my life than I have ever had - the kind that give back to me and keep on giving. My relationships used to be one-sided where I did all the giving and didn’t get much in return. My career seems to run itself as I’m in a position where my work is my natural strengths. My self expression feels clean and authentic. I attract positive experiences to my life and drama finds another sandbox in which to play.
This blog can in no way express the sense of wonder I experience when I reflect on all of this. It’s this feeling of lightness, thankfulness and gratitude in my heart. I have been blessed in this life, and as a result, I continue to be a blessing to those around me. Even when the world is down, I am still up. Human Design is the perpetual bull market that is always on an upward trend. There is no limit to the amount of joy you can feel as a result of it. If you haven’t had a Human Design reading yet, I encourage you to do so - it might just change your life if you let it.
Peace.
I was watching the TV series The 4400 yesterday, and one of the episodes contained several quotes from Benjamin Franklin. So, I decided to Google good ol’ Benny. I found a stack of great quotes, but these are my favorites:
Of these four, the one that struck me the most was “Many people die at twenty five and aren’t buried until they are seventy five.” In another seemingly unrelated event this morning, I was reading Cracking the Metabolic Code, and one statement struck me: “Cancer cells are those cells that have lost the ability to differentiate….” Wow, the cells that can no longer express their unique individuality are the ones that are cancerous.
When I read these quotes I begin to ponder how we are all conditioned by society to become homogenized (to make uniform or similar, as in composition or function). We’re conditioned to grow up, go to college, get married, buy a house, make babies…and then, and then…what? Most of these things can be accomplished by the age of 25. How many of us then shut down and stop growing once we realize that these things have not brought us true happiness? Some people deal by having a mid-life crisis where they ditch their first attempt to find the “ideal” that society formulated and go looking for it again in another person. We all know how that ends. Who came up with this system?
One thing I know for sure - following society’s recipe for happiness is a sure path to misery. The only path to joy is to live from your true differentiation, which is the authentic individual expression that only you can have. When you live authentically, the people, places and things that are meant for you come to you. Maybe that’s marriage…maybe it’s not. Maybe that’s children…maybe it’s not. Whatever it is, it is joy.
Neither path is easy - the standard, homogenized path, nor the individual, authentic path. However, one is worth it and one is not. One is joyful and one is not. One is full of life and the other is simply death at the age of 25. Which one do you choose?
As of late I have been observing my tendency to always be in a hurry. The hurry to see how something will turn out, in a hurry to know the answer, in a hurry to have a sense of completion, in a hurry to be sure. My conscious mind wants to be in control and know everything for sure. Human Design is helping me to slow down and teach my mind to just be an observer. I am learning to not have an attachment to one particular outcome or another, and to just be curious to see how it all turns out - in the natural timing of things and not in the forced timing my conscious mind tries to create, just so it can be sure about something.
Things have turned out “okay” by using my conscious mind to control the outcome. But only when I let go of the outcome and timing have things turned out truly “great.” It’s a matter of training my mind - do you want to have an “okay” outcome that you know for sure…right this second? Or would you rather have a great outcome that surprises you and over which you have absolutely no control? I’m slowly learning that the latter is the choice I want to make - it’s the choice that’s right for me. It’s the choice that leverages the energy of the universe to do the work instead of my own limited energy. When I slow down and enjoy the “movie,” I seem to experience more peace and happiness.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the hurry, hurry, hurry of our culture. I write this note to myself as a reminder of the payoff in slowing down and trusting in the wisdom and timing of my own subtle energy.
