That Projector Life

In this episode, we attempt to tackle the age-old questions of "What am I here to do?" and "How do I find that info?" Not surprisingly, we're going to use Human Design to help us find a direction - and potentially some answers - for those questions.  I believe there are markers of your soul's purpose in your chart, and we'll talk about each of those markers and how you can use them in the episode. However, I don't think that your design necessarily locks you into a specific path or purpose. (Though I will admit that this is simply my interpretation of the Human Design system. I don't think that you HAVE to be in the teaching profession if you have the teaching channels.)  We'll explore the complexity and the layers that exist within the Human Design chart and how those layers can inform your quest to find your purpose and direction. And at the end of the episode, we'll look at two different charts with the same Incarnation Cross and talk about how that theme of direction is present in both charts - but in different ways.

We're looking at where, why, and how loneliness shows up in the Human Design Bodygraph and how we can move through it. Loneliness (or the realization that you're separate from a group) can be difficult to handle. We'll talk about things to look for in the Bodygraph that may help explain why we feel that loneliness sometimes. We'll also cover the different ways that aura mechanics work and what leaves us with that feelings of separation. Ultimately, it's not a bad thing to feel lonely (though that doesn't make it any easier to experience). If we're able to step back from our pain and allow ourselves to reflect on what we're going through, we'll uncover some deeper truths about ourselves as individuals - and about the tribe. And that's one of the beauties of loneliness. We're able to gain a new perspective - or uncover a deeper truth - when we allow ourselves to be. Listen in to explore loneliness and how we can use it for good (and how we can potentially make this experience easier on ourselves).   Show Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

  This episode welcomes our first ever Generator to the show! Kehla Guimond is a 6/2 Sacral Generator who's here to help us change the way we interact with the Human Design System and the Gene Keys. We have such a great and wide-ranging conversation in this show, and we flow between Human Design and the Gene Keys seamlessly. Kehla has some awesome suggestions on how to begin using the Gene Keys if you're brand new to them. And if you're more advanced (or just really want to hit the ground running), Kehla offers tons of different ways you can bring depth to your understanding of the Gene Keys system. We also talk about the similarities and differences between the Gene Keys and the Human Design Systems. And Kehla again comes through with great suggestions to make the Gene Keys a little more actionable. (This system is really contemplative, and my 3rd line profile struggled with that.) If you're looking to dive into the Gene Keys system and want some actionable support, check out Kehla's Gene Keys Business Guide.

It's that time of year when we start thinking about gifts and what to get for that weird distant relative you never talk to. (Or maybe, if you're like me with zero Tribal energy, you ARE that weird distant relative). Either way, I wanted the show to get into the spirit of the season by looking at 5 specific Projector gifts that both Projectors and everyone else should really appreciate more. Because so often, Projectors tend to feel bad that we can't keep up with everyone. Projector guilt is real, and it tends to lead us to question our value and our contributions to society (also, helloooo undefined willpower!). But because of Projectors' unique energy aura, there are gifts that only we can provide. The first gift, slowing down, lays the foundation for all the other gifts. And I think it's probably the most impactful one that Projectors have to offer. However it's important to understand that Projectors can really only access these gifts consistently through deconditioning and living in alignment. Moving through the deconditioning process allows us to see and experience these gifts for ourselves - giving us a taste of the value that we offer to others. Want to know what the other four gifts are? Listen to the episode!   Episode Links   Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped! (I've just moved platforms).

In this episode, we're looking at chart paradoxes - places where the Human Design chart creates internal tension. These areas are really interesting to look at because they help us understand where some of our internal conflicts can come from. In the case of someone with a Tribal channel and an Individual channel, the tension can come from both being an insider - part of the Tribe - but also from feeling like an outsider - being an Individual.  We'll look at other examples of chart paradoxes as well as some common places where you can find one in your own chart. The impact that you notice from these places of potential tension will vary based on the paradox itself as well as other layers in your chart (which we'll talk about in the episode).  Ultimately, it's up to you to explore your chart and find those paradoxes and watch them play out. That's really where this comes alive - as you watch it unfold in your own life. Developing an understanding of your unique internal paradox can help provide some relief and a better sense of how to work with your energy. (But be warned that there may not always be peaceful reconciliation between these areas of tension. And sometimes that's the point - no peaceful solution.)   Show Notes Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped! (I've just moved platforms).

We're coming up on the time of year that's very tribal. It's a time when we gather with friends and family to celebrate and connect with each other. However, there's also something else that tends to show up around this time of year: loneliness, a feeling that we don't belong - even in our own family. This TPL episode is taking a look at the nature and energy of the Tribe in Human Design. We'll explore Tribal circuitry briefly and then talk about how the Tribe behaves in the real world (complete with examples). Then we'll talk about how we can navigate the Tribe - because that's the tricky part. Tribes are easy to spot, but they can be difficult to navigate. And this difficulty increases if you don't have Tribal circuitry (a.k.a. channels). So we'll talk about navigating the Tribe as someone with Tribal Circuitry and then as someone without Tribal Circuitry - because those two experiences can be vastly different. As we move into the holiday (and more Tribal) season, keep these things in mind - especially at your next family gathering.   Episode Links Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

In this episode, we're talking about some basic principles for running a household as a Projector. And we'll expand on those with some examples as we dive further into specific aspects of managing a home. This episode is meant for anyone who's in charge of a household, regardless of gender.  We'll walk through some suggestions I have for Projectors about running a household (please take them with a grain of salt), and I'll share how I've finally figured out the best way to manage my own household. (It's only taken me 5 years to find my current system, and I'm sure that will change when we move in the future).  The topics that we'll dive into more specifically are how to clean without losing steam halfway through - and leaving a bigger mess than when you started - and meal planning. Don't lose sight of the fact that running a household is a big job, and it takes a lot of time and energy. And be gentle with yourself. The world won't end if you don't clean the bathrooms (or vacuum).    Show Notes Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped! (I've just moved platforms).

This episode of That Projector Life dives into dormant gates and how you can work with them on your Human Design journey. We'll talk about what dormant gates are, where you can find them in your chart, and how they impact you. It's also important to note that you may not experience dormant gates in quite the same way you experience other gates, so be on the lookout for the theme of the gate, not so much the "textbook" definition of it.  Because real-world examples are always helpful, we'll look at two examples from my life where my dormant gates showed up - and how I was able to begin changing my reaction to and understanding of my energy. (And one of them is definitely still a work in progress, but I'm getting better at spotting this energy before it does major damage.) As always, remember that the process-oriented steps we cover in this episode aren't always going to lived in a linear way. Start where you need to and continue to experiment and observe your energy as you live your Projector magic.    Show Notes   Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

This week, we're looking under the hood of Human Design and taking a peak at how Ra blended some different systems to create Human Design. We'll also touch on the more "scientific" aspect of the system - things like neutrinos and how they impact us - and where the neutrino stream shows up in your chart. It was really neat to finally get into the foundations of the Human Design system and see the different pieces of the puzzle coming together in their own unique way. All of the information in this episode came from The Definitive Book of Human Design by Ra Uru Hu and Lynda Bunnell. And while I do meander through the foundational stuff, I also encourage you to question the system and to some extent, the messenger. And if you're looking for the article I mention in the episode about cultural appropriation in Human Design, you can find it here.   Show Notes Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!

Because we just talked about the layers of Human Design gates, I wanted to revisit the planets in Human Design. The planets play an important role in how we experience the energy of our gates and channels. They take the overall energy present and add a little extra flavor to it. This is why two people with the same gate can experience that energy in completely different ways. Understanding how the planets influence your gates and channels can help you reach even deeper understanding when it comes to your energy and how you can work with it. We'll go through each of the planets as they appear in the Human Design chart and talk about the influence they have on the gate they're in. We'll also touch on the Design and Personality aspects of the planets and gates so you can begin to explore that in this larger context.  This episode is meant to be more contemplative in nature. There isn't going to be a list or a process for you to follow. Simply listen to the description of the planets and how they can impact your gate. Then, reflect on how that planet shows up in your specific gate(s). It may take a while for that reflection to happen, though. I'm still working my way through some of my gates and planets.  (Hint: If your gate is off an undefined center, it may take a little longer to understand that energy and how it operates in you, especially if you're dealing with a gate in your Design - the red.)   Show Notes Note: My links have changed since this episode dropped!
