living with cycles
Even before I discovered Human Design, I knew the power of living in harmony with cycles (both external in nature + internal). Yet there is so much of this wisdom steeped in the archetypes of the Bodygraph, in the Primary Health System (how we uniquely nourish), in the Gates + Channels.
“Life on this planet has been evolving and transforming itself since the beginning of time as we know it. It is not poetry, but science when I say this: We are descendants of fish that crawled out of the ocean. We breathe air exhaled from trees whose leaves are made of starlight. We have oxygen thanks to the primordial kelps that created this biosphere. The mushrooms we eat come from space; they strengthen both the communication networks in our brains as well as between the plants and the soil. We have stardust in our bones. Our veins echo the patterns of rivers, branches and root systems. The moon moves the blood in women’s wombs to the same rhythm as the tides of oceans.
We are not a part of Nature. We are Nature. ”
When we connect to our Design we are connecting with our unique cosmic imprint, inextricably woven into the fabric of our beings. As the planets travel certain energies are brought to the forefront in our lives, and we each have access to themes we may or may not have activated the rest of the year through the neutrino stream. Astrologically we have the opportunity to bring awareness + mindfulness to certain areas of our lives, to how we can utilize the energies rather than become a victim to potential expressed low vibrations.
In addition to our own unique innate archetypes and the language of our Design, our default settings, habits and patterns, which may or may not serve us, we are also influenced by the cycles of the moon, by how our chart has progressed + profected as well as through the transits, and to our immediate environment seasonally. There are many ways we can support ourselves in the season we are in both internally + externally. The more we are in alignment with what is, in this moment, the more we are in resonance, balance + harmony with our very well-being. This can be as simple as supporting yourself in the Autumn season with the corresponding recipes, tools + practices. This may also mean pulling tools from the Winter Support during the Summer season because you are in a Progressed Balsamic Moon Phase. You may need a little gentle detox support in winter after indulging for the holidays, in which case, see Spring. For folks who are menstruating you may pull tools from Spring during your Follicular phase, Summer while ovulating, Fall during Luteal and Winter when you’re bleeding. Utilize them to support you holistically for what you most need in the now.
These field guides have been a part of The Collective for awhile but I felt called recently to release them to all. It has been a tough couple of years and no political figure or country, that I know of, has utilized this time to help people to become more healthy, more sovereign, to teach how to deeply nourish, to advise us of the importance of getting out in nature and in the sunshine, etc... if anything, the opposite.
There are many simple, inexpensive, earth centered, and/or holistic tools at our disposal to come into greater overall health; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Living in alignment with the seasons (and our seasons), in big ways or small, is one of the simplest, yet profound, ways that we can lean into equilibrium. Enjoy!
