Why I am giving readings again (A new fire is alight in me)

In October 2019 I decided, after seven years of giving readings, to stop sharing my knowledge of Human Design in the form of one on one sessions. The decision came very suddenly, but it was quite definitive. I cancelled the standing appointments I had and wrote to those who had just sent in a request that I would not be able to meet them. My timing was rather interesting. Just the day before, the interview I did for a Dutch language podcast had been published. The response was very enthusiastic and my planner would have been full for the coming…

Reflectors and the Learning Curve of Open Centers

This article has been a long time coming. When I was writing up articles about every type three years ago, I decided to hold off on writing about Reflectors until I felt like I really had a solid grasp on what a Reflector actually is and how energy flows within and around them.  It ended up taking a while.  Reflectors are mysterious creatures and elusive at that. Furthermore, to get into Reflectors means to dive into the intricate workings of energy within the body. We will be talking about experiencing the subtleties and nuances that come with openness, rather than…

Human Design Insights #14: Step 1 for Living your Design

, , , ,
►►► click to share

Living your Human Design has nothing to do with changing, improving or helping yourself. If you try to “do better,” “become your true self” or “learn a new way of life” you will only keep running around in circles. Simply because if you have any idea of who you are or who you should be, you are probably wrong. The mind is such an artist and can conjure amazing pictures of the future, the past and what we should be doing right now in order to get the most out of it. None of what it can think of has…

Human Design Insights #13: Gate 33 “Retreat”

►►► click to share

The Sun is currently moving through the 33th gate. This is last gate of what is called the Quarter of Civilisation. Each year is divided into 4 quarters, with each a specific energetic theme. The Quarter of Civilisation is the quarter of building. It is all about form and the feminine. On August 5th the Sun moves into gate 7, the gate of The Army and the first gate of the Quarter of Duality, which is the quarter of bonding and interaction. This week being a week in the energy of gate 33 means that we are retreating from what…

Human Design Insights #12: Interconnection

►►► click to share

What I love most about reading a chart is revealing the beauty of how all the different components fit together as a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Human Design shows the many levels on which we operate. From the primary binary of yin and yang to the 64 gates to 69.120 bases, each level containing essential information as to what it means to exist. It shows us how we can endlessly find fractals inside fractals inside fractals – the universe is infinite. We need to take that information and condense it into something that is…

Human Design Insights #11: The Ajna center

, , , ,
►►► click to share

The Ajna center is the archive of our mind. All facts, stories, ideas, beliefs that we carry around are stored here. The Ajna filters the information/vibration that enters our consciousness through the Head center and selects what it retains based on whether the information is in any way significant. This is not a process that we have control over, but it is the process that creates the world we live in.   We do not consciously decide which information is important to us and which is not. In the Head center we are conscious of which information comes in or…

Human Design Insights #10: the Head center

, , , ,
►►► click to share

Understanding the nature of the Head center has been one of the most important insights Human Design has given me. When the mind can understand itself, it can stop trying to be something other than it is. This creates peace and freedom in the mind, which translates to peace and freedom everywhere. The Head Center is a RADIO. The comparison goes so far that I attached an image of a radio here, so you can see exactly what I mean. In the bodygraph, you can see how the head center is visualised as coming out of the head. That is…

Human Design Insights #9: The Throat center, Words and Truth

, , ,
►►► click to share

The throat center is a gateway, it doesn’t have energy of its own. It defines the energy passing through, but it has no influence over the content. Nothing said is ever written in stone. I have personally come into the habit of never holding anyone to their word. I trust deeply that there is more truth behind words than in words. Because minds change, emotions change, intentions change, energy changes. The moment of now disappears and appears constantly. Words convey what is there is the moment. And every moment is new and different from the previous one. Truth is the…
