Understanding Energy Alignment for Personal Growth
Throughout our lives, we build up an understanding of ourselves and the way we work internally. How we like to do things, what we’re good at and how we deal with pressures. But what if I told you that sometimes, the life scripts that we tell ourselves aren’t always true?
Those life scripts are a conditioned, manifested version of ourselves that plays out for so long that we begin to believe that there’s no other way that we can operate.
I find this to be particularly true with women who are driven to succeed in business and help others to change. More often than not, we end up working too hard, and we don’t realise it until we receive the burnout signal.
Yes, we are getting very good at pulling back now before that burnout feeling hits, but what if I told you that you are STILL probably working too hard and fighting against the natural flow of your energy?
What if it turns out that the drive to do more and make that ‘to do’ list disappear is actually you operating in your shadow energy?
Discovering Your Inner Truth with Human Design
I want to introduce you to a personality test for your soul: Human Design. This incredibly accurate system, based on your time and place of birth, brings science and spirituality together, creating a map of your energy, purpose and uniqueness.
Not only that, but Human Design also shows you where you are operating in your shadow energy – called the “not-self”. And when we look at the pressures that we put on ourselves to get our ‘to do’ list done, to do more work and to achieve more, this is the energy in your root chakra that may be out of alignment.
You see, Human Design is based on many systems; scientific and esoteric. One of the systems it uses is the Hindu Chakra system, and taking a look at how your unique energy flows through each chakra gives you an indication of whether you are in alignment with your unique energy or not.
Thriving on Stress and Pressure
Back in my corporate marketing career, I thought that I LOVED to be stressed. In marketing, there’s always something else to be done; another email to draft, or another social post to be created. There’s no limit to how much marketing you can do.
So there I was in my marketing career, constantly stressed that I couldn’t meet deadlines, or worried that I “should” be doing more and getting better results. I thrived off the energy though; that satisfaction of doing more and more.
Little did I know, I was creating my own stress from within. My deadlines were mostly perceived or internal deadlines, and coupled with my poor self-worth and inability to set healthy boundaries, I overworked myself in an underpaid job for zero recognition.
The Human Design Bodygraph
When my intuition pinged the very first time I saw my Human Design Bodygraph, I knew I had to dive in deeper. A year later, after an intensive coaching course, I emerged realising many things about myself; too many to list here, but one of them was that I didn’t need to put all that stress and pressure on myself. I could do everything in my own timing; in fact, the positive aspects of my life from then on have always happened in divine timing.
Having released the stress and pressure that I put on myself, I now live a life where I work 50% less than I did in my corporate marketing career, and earn three times more.
And whilst my awareness of the energy of my root chakra was paramount in my awakening, so was my understanding of how I operated in my not-self.
Align With Your True Self
Life is easy when you operate in alignment with your unique energy. There’s less resistance and more happiness in all aspects of business and leadership when you swim with the flow of your energy and not against it. When you make your own decisions rather than do what others tell you to do.
Human Design is just one of the many tools that you can use to align yourself with your inner truth; it’s my favourite, of course, it’s the one that has made the biggest difference in my energy levels, stress levels and abundance levels.
Take the time to find what works for you. Learning your strategy and authority in Human Design can be a good start for this; you’ll be able to tap into your genius, connect with your body and learn how you are designed to operate in life and make decisions that feel good for you.
My intuition led me into Human Design, will yours too?
