Transcript
- 0:01Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated to
- 0:05helping entrepreneurs use human design to shift from hustle to
- 0:09flow without sacrificing results.
- 0:11Come here to become an unshakeable human and build an unshakeable business
- 0:15according to your human design.
- 0:17I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:21Hello, and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
- 0:26I'm your host, Nicole Laino, and we are going to talk about patterns today.
- 0:32Now, why are patterns important?
- 0:35Well I obviously, I have a program where I work with entrepreneurs
- 0:40who are building businesses according to their human design.
- 0:43And let's even just talk about the people that end up in that program.
- 0:46Usually, the people that are attracted to me, and this is my cosmic niche as well.
- 0:51Why?
- 0:52Because it's the story that I'm connected to these people.
- 0:56I speak to them in a way that feels really authentic to them.
- 1:00Where they say, I believe her, I believe that she understands this journey.
- 1:04And those people that end up in there, usually, what they fall into is, they're
- 1:08people who have, mostly women, not, it doesn't, it's not exclusive to women, but
- 1:13we have mostly women in there, in fact, we have all women in there at the moment.
- 1:17But they are people who are taking action, but they're not progressing as quickly
- 1:23as they, I'm gonna use the word should.
- 1:26Although there's no shoulds in our world, but you know what I mean.
- 1:30it feels like I'm doing a lot.
- 1:32I feel like I'm showing up a lot, but the results aren't there.
- 1:37I don't necessarily know what it is.
- 1:38I feel like I'm doing all the things.
- 1:42I feel like I'm doing the right things.
- 1:45But for some reason it seems harder for me than it does for other people.
- 1:49And somewhere on some level they know.
- 1:51That they're holding themselves back.
- 1:54But they also know that that's not all of it.
- 1:57It's not just, Oh, I'm stuck.
- 2:00They're plateaued.
- 2:02And they know that they've reached that inner glass ceiling.
- 2:05And they also probably know that there's some things in the things
- 2:08that they're choosing to do.
- 2:09The tasks that they're doing, the way that they're doing things, that
- 2:12there is some structure and there is some strategy that's needed
- 2:15beyond what they have at the moment.
- 2:18That there's something that they can't see There's something where they're
- 2:21like, okay, I've got all of this here, but I you know, I don't know
- 2:25if I can see what's wrong with it.
- 2:27I don't know if I'm able to see So they end up coming into my world.
- 2:31And sometimes I just have conversations with them.
- 2:33I have clarity calls with people who have this same problem.
- 2:38I'm doing all these things.
- 2:39I have a lot of balls in the air.
- 2:41I am taking action.
- 2:43I'm really trying to make something happen.
- 2:46I'm ambitious and I am putting in the work.
- 2:50But I don't feel like there's an equal exchange of the work that I'm putting
- 2:55in and the results that I'm getting back from the work that I put in.
- 2:59Sometimes the answer to that can be systems and getting better at
- 3:04some of the strategies that we use.
- 3:06Usually what it is, I see that as a separate thing, like that's
- 3:09how we amplify what we're doing.
- 3:11That's how we make it easier to do more, our systems.
- 3:15But no matter what you are doing, I don't care if you're a coach or if you're a
- 3:21real estate agent or if you're, but if you're an entrepreneur, if you're in
- 3:25this, business of making something happen from nothing, you create your results.
- 3:32If that's you, then you are the most crucial, You are the thing that
- 3:38will make or break your business.
- 3:40You are the thing that will make it grow super fast and have amazing results
- 3:46and you will most likely be the thing that holds it back at different stages.
- 3:51So we have to look at ourselves as entrepreneurs and usually the
- 3:55people who work with me know that.
- 3:57So they're game for this.
- 3:58They say, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's dig into my stuff.
- 4:01And what I wanted to talk about today is because I used to I've been doing this
- 4:06I've been coaching in some way since 2016.
- 4:10So for a long time.
- 4:11And since 2016, I haven't been doing human design since 2016.
- 4:16I've been doing human design since 2020.
- 4:19But what I was doing before I was a peak performance coach
- 4:22was what I called myself.
- 4:23I'm an NLP practitioner.
- 4:25I work with EFT.
- 4:27Everything was about overcoming the self.
- 4:31What are the limitations, the self imposed limitations that we put
- 4:35on ourselves that are holding us back from our ultimate potential?
- 4:40I've always been obsessed with it and the reason I've been obsessed
- 4:43with it is I have had big dreams.
- 4:46I've been ambitious.
- 4:48I have been, I've had my sights set on things.
- 4:50I've had my heart set on things that I couldn't make happen and
- 4:55it wasn't for lack of trying.
- 4:57And I became obsessed with, I know I'm in my own way, but how
- 5:01do I learn to navigate me?
- 5:03There's two different levels for this.
- 5:05and I'm going to get into both of them a little bit, but what
- 5:09helped me more than anything.
- 5:10So for years I use those other modalities and sometimes it would
- 5:13take me, if I worked with a client, it might take us a couple of months
- 5:17to even figure out what was in there.
- 5:18There'd be a lot of talking.
- 5:20There'd be a lot of sharing.
- 5:22There might be a lot of crying.
- 5:23And we would work through stuff.
- 5:25But in order for me to get to the heart of it, sometimes
- 5:29that would take several months.
- 5:31And that's just a slower process than I'm comfortable with.
- 5:34I like to move quickly.
- 5:36I want to see results fast.
- 5:38And that's what human design helps us do.
- 5:41Because human design, when you're using it as a map, as a way to
- 5:44decode your patterns, you can start to change your day to day behavior.
- 5:50You can start to bring awareness to behaviors that maybe you didn't even
- 5:55know that you had, but that are getting in your way because they're unconscious.
- 5:59I always assume sometimes that people know these things, but there's a very good
- 6:02chance that you're listening to this and maybe you don't, but if you've been in
- 6:06the mindset world for a while, it's not a new concept to say that our brain's job
- 6:10is not to make us rich, powerful, have all of our hopes and dreams come true.
- 6:16That's not its job.
- 6:17Its job is to keep us safe.
- 6:19And what it does is it has some sort of limit set and it's subconscious.
- 6:24We don't know what that limit is, but that limit says it is safe
- 6:27for us to have this much money, this much success, this much love.
- 6:31These are safe levels.
- 6:33Stay here.
- 6:34Don't go too far below them.
- 6:36Don't go too far above them because that would mean it's unknown to us.
- 6:41And if it's unknown equals danger.
- 6:44And danger equals death, so we don't want to go into the unknown, even if
- 6:48it sounds like it could be better.
- 6:50So I'm making 100, 000 a year.
- 6:52And you continually work harder, but for some reason you
- 6:56can't bump up past 100, 000.
- 6:58Somehow you magically end up at that number every single year.
- 7:01It's interesting, right?
- 7:03That's where your thermostat is set.
- 7:05There's a wonderful book called The Big Leap.
- 7:07Where Gay Hendricks takes you through that entire framework for what he calls
- 7:13your, it's a subconscious program.
- 7:15It's like a thermostat.
- 7:16It is your inner limit.
- 7:17It is your limit.
- 7:19And what he calls when you bump up against that limit, alarms start to go
- 7:23off and you're hitting your upper limit.
- 7:27It's like the warning bells go off and then what happens is subconsciously
- 7:31your mind says send out the troops.
- 7:34Distract them.
- 7:35Keep them from going in that direction that might get them to where they
- 7:38want to go, but is not safe to us.
- 7:40We have to keep the body safe.
- 7:43So what are we gonna do?
- 7:44Let's throw a crisis into play.
- 7:47Let's distract them over here.
- 7:49Let's make them feel like they have no time.
- 7:51Let's get them all worked up and freaked out about something
- 7:55that doesn't really matter.
- 7:57Just long enough, could be a couple of days, to take them out of the game
- 8:01to keep them at this comfortable pace.
- 8:04This will keep them at status quo.
- 8:06So when we start to understand that, when we start to understand that's
- 8:09how the brain operates, then , it doesn't matter what level you're
- 8:12at, you're dealing with this.
- 8:15The difference is between you and people at different levels is their limits are
- 8:19set at different levels than yours are.
- 8:22So how does human design help us?
- 8:24So what human design can do is it can start to tell you,
- 8:29what are your stuck strategies?
- 8:32What are the most common shadows that you might fall into that your
- 8:37subconscious is going to use as its go to behavior to keep you stuck?
- 8:43When I started to see this, now, obviously, there is, I want to
- 8:47acknowledge that there is trauma and deeper subconscious experiences that can
- 8:53exacerbate everything that I'm talking about, can exacerbate our shadows, that
- 8:59can make it harder to break the pattern.
- 9:02So this is where I'm going to talk about the magic of human
- 9:05design, but also the limitations of it, because it is a cognitive
- 9:10awareness program in a lot of ways.
- 9:12It's obviously beyond that, but the way that we work or we're taught to work
- 9:16with human design in its traditional frameworks is, Oh, just be aware that
- 9:21thing is there and then stop doing it.
- 9:22wouldn't it be wonderful if we all could just stop doing the
- 9:25things that didn't serve us?
- 9:28Of course we work to do that, but some of us find, and I count myself
- 9:32in this group as well, that just wasn't possible for me.
- 9:36And that was deeply troubling, frustrating, like beyond, beyond
- 9:42frustrating, like where I was tearing my hair out, just being like, I
- 9:45can't, why can't I overcome this?
- 9:48And there was subconscious trauma that I had to deal with, small T,
- 9:53big T trauma, I had small T, what I consider small T trauma, some people
- 9:57would consider it big T, but you know, I had issues with I had issues
- 10:00with feeling loved, feeling accepted.
- 10:03I did not feel those things growing up.
- 10:06That wasn't my truth.
- 10:07So walking around in a world just telling myself, that
- 10:10wasn't true, that wasn't true.
- 10:12You are loved, you are, that wasn't enough.
- 10:14I had to go deeper than that.
- 10:16But the day to day, and where we can figure out where that trauma
- 10:20might be, and how we find it, human design can really help you do that.
- 10:25I wanna to step away from the trauma piece because that's going to be, so much
- 10:29deeper and there's another path of work.
- 10:32But what it tells us is that if you're in the entrepreneurial game,
- 10:36this has to be part of your process.
- 10:38It has to be, or you will constantly just bump up against that glass ceiling
- 10:43that you have imposed on yourself.
- 10:47If you don't notice those limits, if you're not paying attention to that and
- 10:50starting to work with it to get past it.
- 10:53And there's two ways that we do that.
- 10:55We do that with the trauma work and then we do it with the awareness work.
- 10:59And we're going to talk more about the awareness part today.
- 11:02And how you can start to use that to get to the deeper trauma,
- 11:07subconscious work, subconscious reprogramming, the other ways.
- 11:11I will say this, finding out what was in my human design chart made me look
- 11:16at the challenges very differently.
- 11:18It wasn't something that was wrong with me.
- 11:21It was something that I had that could be very right with me, was
- 11:26actually a gift, but I was just in a lower expression of it.
- 11:30That suddenly made it seem more like a game that I could play, rather
- 11:34than something that was fundamentally wrong with me, that I couldn't fix.
- 11:38And when you get out of that business of trying to fix yourself, And you get into
- 11:43the business of playing with your energy to get it tuned just right to what you
- 11:48want to create and who you want to be.
- 11:50A much more empowering space to be in.
- 11:54And that's one of the things that human design did for me.
- 11:56It opened that up.
- 11:58And so today, , what I want to talk to you about is the two aspects, of human design.
- 12:02Because we can get into the whole chart.
- 12:04We can certainly go through all of our open centers and the shadows
- 12:10of our type, there's all of that, that is valid and the deeper work.
- 12:15And that's what I do with my clients.
- 12:16It's why my program is a year and, not two weeks.
- 12:20Because as we work, we find the different things.
- 12:24We start walking the path and you start finding the different shadows there.
- 12:27And you work on them and you're tuning each one.
- 12:30It can take some time.
- 12:31But it has such lasting, amazing results when you do it this way, when
- 12:36you pair it with the subconscious work and also the awareness work.
- 12:40But I want to share with you one of the areas that you can see a lot of bang for
- 12:45your buck in this shadow tuning business.
- 12:49In decoding your patterns, seeing them for what they are, and then starting
- 12:54to work with them and this is where Gene Keys really opened things up for
- 12:58me, because just the fact that Richard read the way that he, and for those of
- 13:02you who aren't familiar with the gene keys, they are 64 keys of the gene keys.
- 13:07They're 64 gene keys, and they are synonymous with gates and human design.
- 13:12Gene keys and gates are the same.
- 13:14The difference is, Gene Keys is a system that Richard Rudd created.
- 13:20And these are his, interpretation.
- 13:23So if you look at the Gene Keys book, if you buy the Gene Keys book,
- 13:26it might be very confusing because you're like, what do I do with this?
- 13:29It's like a big encyclopedia.
- 13:32It is his contemplations and his transmissions on what each of
- 13:40the Gates slash Gene Keys means.
- 13:43And what he did, which I think is what makes it so helpful.
- 13:47It gets you seeing how you can actually use this work as opposed to it
- 13:51feeling like, Oh, it's my lot in life.
- 13:54I should just accept this.
- 13:56Which is a little bit more in alignment with kind of the way
- 13:58that Ra talked about this stuff.
- 14:01That Richard Rudd, he gives you a frequency band for each gene key.
- 14:07There's a shadow frequency.
- 14:09There is a gift frequency.
- 14:11And then there is a city frequency, which is like the
- 14:13high gift, the enlightened state.
- 14:16And those are wonderful to cast your vision on a possibility.
- 14:23But we want to live in the gift.
- 14:24Like that's the goal is not to live in the city.
- 14:26Cause I'm not Buddha.
- 14:27I think those are states that we, and the way he explains it is the city state
- 14:31is something that we touch, maybe, but we don't live in it 24 7 because, quite
- 14:38frankly, none of us are going to be that enlightened all the time, probably,
- 14:43because we're normal people, maybe you are, I have not gotten to the point
- 14:47where I'm living in the civic state of any of my gates, but how we use this
- 14:54and how you use this to decode your patterns and how this can be so amazingly
- 14:58helpful is if you look at the gates of your incarnation cross, and this is
- 15:04why incarnation cross is so powerful to work with, that your incarnation
- 15:08cross is, it's your greater life theme.
- 15:10It's the 70 percent of your energy is going to be in these gates.
- 15:14So it's a very powerful piece of you that you're working with.
- 15:17Now, if we're looking at understanding ourselves helps us to be better.
- 15:22If we are being better than we get to create different results, and if
- 15:26we create different results, then our businesses are getting more
- 15:29successful and our lives are getting better and we're living in abundance.
- 15:32You see how this works, right?
- 15:34So this is such a key.
- 15:36to unlocking whatever it is that you want to create in your business.
- 15:40It all comes back to you on some level.
- 15:42And then of course you have to do stuff.
- 15:44I never want to leave that out.
- 15:45You have to take some action.
- 15:47You do have to have systems.
- 15:48You have to have strategies.
- 15:49It's why I don't teach just one piece.
- 15:51But this is the part that makes it sustainable or not.
- 15:55You don't have all the strategy in the world, but if you, the operator, are
- 15:59operating, constantly battling your shadow, and constantly battling this
- 16:05difficulty, this challenge you're always facing, and you're always losing, at
- 16:10least for a few days, that is where you are going to constantly suffer,
- 16:15and you'll find that you're doing all the things, you're trying really
- 16:19hard, but the results aren't there.
- 16:21I had a client in a call this week.
- 16:23One of the best compliments I could get was she had a really, she has a corporate
- 16:27job and she had a really hard time.
- 16:29She had a really difficult, challenge that she's facing in her job.
- 16:33And she said on our call, she said, I have to say, I want to call this out that, a
- 16:38year ago, this would have taken me out.
- 16:40I wouldn't have been able to do anything, it would have been like
- 16:43weeks of like just battling this thing.
- 16:47But the work we do in here, I'm like, you know, , I dealt with it, I went into it,
- 16:52I processed it, and I'm like, okay, fine.
- 16:55And that's the difference between somebody who's able to create a new
- 16:58experience and a new result in their life versus somebody who is trapped
- 17:02in an old way of being who's going to attract and create the old results
- 17:07that they constantly keep getting.
- 17:09We break the pattern, you break the pattern of being yourself.
- 17:13That is how you get something new.
- 17:15And your incarnation cross.
- 17:17You get four gates in your incarnation cross.
- 17:19Each one of them has a shadow, a gift, and a city state.
- 17:23If you start to look at the shadows of those gates, those four gates, and
- 17:29you start to become aware of those shadows showing up in your life.
- 17:34And you start to get curious about them.
- 17:37Remember, my line is curiosity over criticism every day, all the time.
- 17:44Curious, not critical.
- 17:46We don't want to be critical of ourselves, but when you see a shadow
- 17:49come up, go, huh, wonder why I did that.
- 17:52That's interesting.
- 17:53Oh, there it is again.
- 17:55Hmm.
- 17:56What are we doing there?
- 17:57I wonder if there's something I could do to change that.
- 18:01I wonder if there's something I could shift in me.
- 18:05Maybe I'm doing it right now just by looking at it differently.
- 18:08You can start to change that pattern by having that line of questioning.
- 18:13And when you start to not live in the shadow and start to live in the gift,
- 18:18you will start to see your life change.
- 18:20Now, fun exercise that you can do.
- 18:22Look at the shadows of the gates of your incarnation cross.
- 18:26Get the Jean Keys book, look up the shadows, read the shadow,
- 18:30and then think about how has that shadow been present my whole life?
- 18:34How have I been battling that shadow in some way, shape, or form my whole life?
- 18:40Look at it.
- 18:41It's right there in front of you.
- 18:43And you can start to decode all the challenges that you've
- 18:46had through that exercise.
- 18:49You're welcome.
- 18:52I can't tell you the level of growth I had just going through this and I work
- 18:59with my clients on this all the time.
- 19:01This is the shadow pattern and if you can break it, if you can see it, if you
- 19:04can be aware of it, then you can change it and if you can change it, then you're
- 19:08living in your gifts and then you're attracting people with your gifts.
- 19:12That's how we work with this.
- 19:14So I hope you found this helpful.
