Transcript
- 0:01Nicole Laino: Welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, the show dedicated
- 0:05to helping 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.
- 0:22Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody.
- 0:26I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
- 0:27And today we're here together, just you and me.
- 0:31And I wanted to focus this episode on kind of the problem that I see a lot
- 0:37of people face when I do readings, when I work with people, certainly when
- 0:40people get started with human design.
- 0:42Or if I even have friends out in the world who are like, I'm
- 0:46interested in this, but what do I do?
- 0:49What does this mean is the first question and then they get the answer
- 0:53to what it means and now they're like, okay, well now what can I do with this?
- 0:58And then when it comes to our business, I think that this really stumps people.
- 1:03Alright, well how does this become my offer?
- 1:05How does this become my business?
- 1:07How does this become my brand?
- 1:09And this is why understanding what things are isn't the final frontier with this.
- 1:16Because you probably already know.
- 1:18If you've been listening to this show for any length of
- 1:20time, I've told you all of it.
- 1:22Because really what it's about is starting to see how these things link
- 1:27together and how you actually use this?
- 1:30How do you, make use of it in your life is more, I think, a way that I want to say
- 1:34that rather than like, how do I use this?
- 1:35It's how do I make use of this in my life?
- 1:38How do I start to understand how I can take steps and change my behavior, change
- 1:45my awareness, change the way that I live so that I can be more in alignment
- 1:50with my design so that I can start to see how I build my business by design.
- 1:54So, of course, we have the typical answer.
- 1:57Which is, follow your strategy and authority.
- 2:00And you've probably heard that a million times from me and
- 2:02from other human design people.
- 2:05And you want to go deeper, so that's, it's okay, great, but how do I go deeper?
- 2:11And the first thing I'll say to that is, first make sure you're actually
- 2:14following strategy and authority.
- 2:15Most people are not.
- 2:17They want to go deeper, but they haven't actually started
- 2:20following strategy and authority.
- 2:22So that's honestly why a lot of people are stuck with it.
- 2:25Because they want more answers, and they're, they're kind of obsessed with
- 2:32looking to the chart for these answers.
- 2:34They want to go mining for gold rather than working with what they already have.
- 2:38This isn't going to be an episode where I'm preaching to you to
- 2:40follow your strategy and authority.
- 2:42I just want to mention it before we dive deeper, before I tell you how you
- 2:46can start to use one of my favorite pieces for helping people understand,
- 2:52how to understand their genius.
- 2:54How do I start to unearth my genius?
- 2:57How do I start to use it in my life?
- 3:00How do I step more into my gifts and start to really see
- 3:05how I use this in my business?
- 3:06How does that get clearer?
- 3:08How do we get clearer on what that message is?
- 3:11One of my favorite pieces is what I'm going to share with you here, but I
- 3:14would be remiss if I did not mention, strategy and authority is what guides you.
- 3:19It's going to be the when in doubt, follow strategy and authority,
- 3:22which most people aren't doing.
- 3:25Most people aren't following strategy and authority, or
- 3:29they're taking it too literally.
- 3:30And we have many episodes on that on this podcast, so I'm not
- 3:34going to go into depth in that.
- 3:37But I will say this.
- 3:39Is that looking for answers in the chart, looking to the chart for
- 3:43answers does not typically yield the results that we're looking for.
- 3:49if you're looking in there trying to answer something, what
- 3:53does my chart say about this?
- 3:54What does my chart say about that?
- 3:56I can, hear that now.
- 3:59That people are like, I need an answer and I want to find it in here.
- 4:02And that typically does not get you to where you want to go.
- 4:05And you've got to let go of that.
- 4:06And that's the first step in actually getting what you want out of the chart.
- 4:10Uh, However, I will say that looking to the chart for
- 4:14insight is where magic happens.
- 4:17If you use it, that's why I always say that my readings that I do with
- 4:21people, certainly the business readings are really like really set things off,
- 4:26but all of the readings that I do.
- 4:28They're like little sparks that we're lighting, it's seeds that we're planting,
- 4:33they're activations that are happening.
- 4:36And because of the way it's delivered, and because of the way
- 4:39we go into it, and if you're looking for insight, you get it, and then
- 4:43insight blooms into answers later.
- 4:46You walk the path and the answers start to show up.
- 4:50That's the beauty of this work, because that's how you change while
- 4:54you're getting results while you're working toward the results that
- 4:57you want to create in your life.
- 4:59And this work will unearth a lot as it's unearthing your genius, it's also going
- 5:05to illuminate your shadows and really show you why you're stuck where you're stuck.
- 5:10Why things are not working.
- 5:12So it is this holistic perspective, it's this holistic work where when
- 5:17you start working with your design and start to align your business with it,
- 5:22everything else starts to work better too.
- 5:25Everything else starts to come together too.
- 5:27So in today's episode, I'm going to be sharing the key, a key
- 5:30factor that helps with this.
- 5:32What do I do?
- 5:33How do I start to use my genius in my business?
- 5:36How do I start putting that front and center?
- 5:39How do I start to know, okay, I know what that means.
- 5:43Now, how do I embody it?
- 5:45I know what that means, but I don't really know how that applies to
- 5:50my business and the other things that maybe comes up in a reading.
- 5:54This is what typically sets off a lot of light bulbs, is when I point this
- 5:58out to people as they're going through and they're looking for an answer.
- 6:02This usually gives, starts to turn light bulbs on in the dark room.
- 6:08It starts to illuminate.
- 6:10Oh, Okay, that make sense now, And I was having a conversation with a client the
- 6:16other day, we had a private session and we were talking about this particular
- 6:23element and honestly, it helped her feel really good about some of the steps
- 6:28she's taken that maybe didn't get the ROI that she thought they would in the past.
- 6:34We all carry a lot of shame about that, we bought a program, it said
- 6:38we would make money, or we thought it would make us money, and it didn't
- 6:41make us the money we thought it would, so we see it as a big failure.
- 6:46And there's a certain group of people that it's really not true for, and
- 6:50hers actually, she fell into that category, and the illuminating
- 6:54factor was this that I'm going to talk about here, which is circuitry.
- 6:58Human design circuitry.
- 7:00it's what we're talking about is the network of channels within the body graph.
- 7:06We're looking at the channels in the body graph, but every gate is
- 7:10part of a circuit as well, even if you don't have the whole channel.
- 7:14So if you're looking at something like your conscious sun, knowing
- 7:17what circuit it's a part of is really a key in understanding how this
- 7:24particular energy will show up for you.
- 7:27How you fine tune it, and what its job is and part of what your destiny is.
- 7:32I understand that many of you will not know what circuitry your
- 7:38gates, your channels are part of.
- 7:40That's why I created a Gates Guide.
- 7:44So it's by Gates, it's not by Channel, but I did create a Gates and Gene Keys
- 7:48guide, which is, which will help you start to decode your design, and we added
- 7:52circuitry to it, so for each gate, we tell you what circuit it's a part of,
- 7:57and we don't go into all the sub circuits because we don't really want to confuse
- 8:01you, and I'm really going to stay with the high level of circuitry in here,
- 8:05because it'll get you what you need.
- 8:06Right?
- 8:07You're not gonna, you're not looking to be a reader or be a coach by
- 8:10human design and diving deep into this if you are, then you'll go
- 8:13into that in your, certification or whatever programs you're a part of.
- 8:17But for this, to use this just in, your own business and to get deeper insight
- 8:22into yourself, the three levels of circuitry that we give you will be enough.
- 8:27Okay?
- 8:28We have a guide that will point out that level of circuitry for you.
- 8:32It'll also give you the center that the gate is a part of.
- 8:34It'll give you the gene keys, frequency bands.
- 8:37It's a nice little quick, reference guide for all of the 64 gates.
- 8:42It's totally free.
- 8:43If you want it, just DM me the word gates.
- 8:46It's On Instagram, I'm at NicoleLainoOfficial, we'll send it to you.
- 8:50And then after you listen to this episode, you can come back to it
- 8:52and you can look at your gates, you can look at your channels and you
- 8:55can see what they are a part of.
- 8:57so it's a great tool to decode your design and it's totally free.
- 9:01Or you can go to NicoleLaino.
- 9:02com forward slash gates and you can download it right there.
- 9:04Okay.
- 9:05So, let's talk about it.
- 9:07So, With human design, there's lots of information.
- 9:09There's a ton, we've got, we have 36 channels, 64 gates, 9 centers.
- 9:15There's so much in there that it can be really overwhelming.
- 9:18And shortcuts to understanding what it all means can be really helpful.
- 9:24And circuitry is definitely one of those things.
- 9:27And I think one of the things that can make human design confusing
- 9:31sometimes, too, is that you've probably noticed that some gates sound like
- 9:36they have similar meaning, right?
- 9:38Some gates sound like they have similar meaning, or you might have two
- 9:43aspects of your design that seem like they are contradicting each other.
- 9:47Like I told someone the other day that she has an open ajna.
- 9:51So focus might be difficult for her.
- 9:54It's squirrel brain.
- 9:54What squirrel?
- 9:55It's ADHD brain.
- 9:57That focus might be more difficult for her, but then she also has
- 10:01the 952 channel of concentration.
- 10:04So how is it that concentration is one of her gifts?
- 10:07And potentials, but her ability to focus can be difficult.
- 10:12The answer to that lies in, understanding where these energies come from.
- 10:18It comes in understanding that the 952 channel is actually coming
- 10:23from the root center to the sacral.
- 10:25It's not about the focus of the mind.
- 10:27It's about a focus of energy.
- 10:29It's different.
- 10:30It behaves differently.
- 10:32And then we can go into the circuitry of that too, but really what I wanted to
- 10:36draw out is understanding some of these, sometimes we think we need to get super,
- 10:40super deep into things, and honestly, it's actually about zooming out and
- 10:45saying, Okay, well, I have that gate.
- 10:47It's like, well, what center is that a part of?
- 10:49That tells you something about it.
- 10:51You might be so caught up in the detailed description that you miss
- 10:55the big picture that this is a mind gate, or this is an identity gate.
- 11:01Oh, it's about direction.
- 11:03It's about, or It's about receiving.
- 11:05And it's like, it's part of your purpose.
- 11:07It's part of, you know, if you're gate two, that's part of the G center.
- 11:11So it has something to do with the direction of your life about
- 11:15who you are and where you're going and what your destiny is.
- 11:18that's a very different theme than a, gate in the sacral center.
- 11:24It's about doing.
- 11:25Right?
- 11:25So sometimes we need to zoom out rather than zoom in and
- 11:28get super, super detailed.
- 11:30There are lots of aspects that will help you do this.
- 11:33If you start looking at things by zooming out rather than zooming in, on, on helping
- 11:38you find what offers are aligned for you.
- 11:41Helping you understand what your messaging is.
- 11:44How you help people, who you help.
- 11:46Type, authority, centers are all very valuable.
- 11:50But knowing what to do with all of this, circuitry can really help you
- 11:55understand another layer of this.
- 11:58And can be kind of, if you've tried those other things and you're still a
- 12:01little confused, then this might be just the thing that you've been waiting for.
- 12:06So let's talk about circuitry.
- 12:08So like I said, every gate or channel falls under circuitry.
- 12:15It falls into one of those categories.
- 12:18Some of them technically play a little double duty, but we're not going to talk
- 12:21about that, but it falls into one of these three categories cleanly and the circuitry
- 12:27categories that I'm going to give you are individual, tribal, and collective.
- 12:33They behave differently.
- 12:35They care about different things.
- 12:37They are, their purpose is different.
- 12:40What they want to do, what they're here to do are very, very different.
- 12:45And I'm going to give you the keynotes for each of these that can help you go deeper
- 12:50into understanding what your process is.
- 12:54So, individual, tribal, and collective are the three that we're going to talk about.
- 12:58Now there is a fourth one called integration.
- 13:02And integration is different.
- 13:04, it is part of, it is similar to individual, although
- 13:08it's not exactly the same.
- 13:10Maybe I will talk about it.
- 13:11I, talk about integration.
- 13:13It's a little bit trickier to understand.
- 13:16Um, It's the, the funny channels that go from, so integration is the 10,
- 13:2320 channel, the , I'm doing this from memory, the 3420, the 5720, I believe,
- 13:32because some of these are individual and some of these are integration.
- 13:36But the key to understanding this is, is that there are keynotes
- 13:40for each of these circuits.
- 13:41So integration and individual circuitry, regardless of whatever
- 13:46they are, they're about you.
- 13:48They're about your process.
- 13:49There's about, they're about being an example.
- 13:52They are selfish in nature.
- 13:54Integration in particular is very selfish.
- 13:57And by selfish I mean it's concerned with its own process.
- 14:01This was the thing I was discussing with my client.
- 14:03She is mainly an integration circuit person.
- 14:06Most of her definition, all but one channel, is integration circuitry.
- 14:11And I told her that the self discovery journey You're actually, she kept,
- 14:18really obsessing over what to share and what to put out there and grappling
- 14:22with the fact that she didn't really feel called to do that in the way that
- 14:26she was trying to make that happen.
- 14:29And then what happens to your identity when you start to question
- 14:32the thing that you think you want?
- 14:34And I told her, I said, you are an integration person.
- 14:38You're learning more now by going through your process.
- 14:43Your process.
- 14:44You're here to be an example to others.
- 14:47It actually makes total sense that you don't really want to share
- 14:49anything at this moment or share it the way that you want, like coaching
- 14:53people because it's about you.
- 14:56It's not really about them.
- 14:57You'll share in a different way.
- 14:59You'll put something out there, but you're going to put out your story.
- 15:02You're going to put out your thing.
- 15:05I never tell you what it has to be.
- 15:07But I wanted to give her, and this is the big thing, is human
- 15:10design, give you permission.
- 15:12And it can tell you, don't feel bad about doing it your way.
- 15:16Because she was.
- 15:17Even though she's doing this work, even though I'm standing there
- 15:20with her, and I'm coaching her.
- 15:22She was still in her mind saying, it should be another way.
- 15:25Where are you doing that?
- 15:27Where are you catching yourself saying, it should be another
- 15:30way, or I have to do it this way?
- 15:32It's gotta be like this.
- 15:33I've gotta do this.
- 15:36This can give you a little understanding, a little window into, maybe you're
- 15:41just thinking about it wrong.
- 15:43What if you gave your permission to go full force into the thing that felt good?
- 15:48Now this is what I mean about strategy saving you every time.
- 15:52Cause if you're a projector, you're just gonna, you, wanna to
- 15:54dig into like, what's my wisdom?
- 15:55What am I recognized for?
- 15:57What do I love to be recognized for?
- 16:00Generators.
- 16:01If you were following your strategy and authority, you would be diving
- 16:05into whatever made you feel good, whatever you were responding to.
- 16:09Manifestors.
- 16:10You shouldn't be thinking about anything that should be, it's your way and
- 16:14whatever you want, whenever you want.
- 16:16That's the way.
- 16:17Right.
- 16:18But.
- 16:19If sometimes we need another window, sometimes we know all of that
- 16:22stuff, but the not self takes over.
- 16:24Trying to find an answer.
- 16:26We're trying to make something happen.
- 16:28So for her, it was a huge permission slip for her to be able to say,
- 16:33Oh, I get to just enjoy this thing that I'm really enjoying.
- 16:38I get to see where it's going and Oh, if I focus on My story, and on my journey,
- 16:48and on what I've done, and what I've learned, then maybe that will come.
- 16:56And it's already started to appear to her.
- 16:58It's already started to become clearer.
- 17:01And every time she gives herself permission to do what's right for
- 17:05her, what's truly right, it gets easier and another thing opens.
- 17:09The epiphany comes in.
- 17:10I was saying to somebody else this week, I was like, yeah, well, the, business
- 17:13readings are sort of like, it's like we're planting an epiphany garden.
- 17:17I go and I plant all of these seeds and then you go off and you start doing
- 17:20your work and we, because everyone in my business by design mentorship
- 17:24gets these business readings with me.
- 17:26And they get other one on ones with me as well.
- 17:28But the business reading, I'm like, it's the epiphany garden we are planting.
- 17:33And throughout our time together, you're going to go off, you're going
- 17:35to do your thing, you're going to dive into the other work, and then you're
- 17:38going to have these little epiphanies, these light bulbs that go off.
- 17:41And then you're going to come back and you're going to talk to me about them,
- 17:44and I'm going to help you work it out.
- 17:46How this is showing up, how can you use this, and we start to carve out what is
- 17:53the correct and aligned business for you.
- 17:55It's really fun.
- 17:57So.
- 17:58It is about, opening yourself up when every time she relaxes
- 18:02into, what feels right for her, into what truly feels aligned for her.
- 18:08Like when I told her that this was her way and not the other
- 18:11way, it's like the sigh of relief.
- 18:13Oh wow.
- 18:14She's like, I felt that.
- 18:16That feels really good.
- 18:17And now when it feels really good, now your nervous system is, at
- 18:21ease, it is relaxed, it is open.
- 18:25Now your mind isn't racing.
- 18:26You are able to create something very, very different from
- 18:30that state and that space.
- 18:33Then you can, when your mind is racing, when you're trying to figure
- 18:36it out, when you are increasing your heart rate and going into fight or
- 18:41flight because you're wondering, is this going to work this time?
- 18:44I don't really want to do that.
- 18:46So you start to protect yourself from actually doing the thing
- 18:48that you don't want to do.
- 18:49This is how we get in our own way, and this is how human design can start
- 18:53to open up those narrow passages to something you can actually pass through.
- 18:59So that's individual circuitry.
- 19:01Individual and integration circuitry are selfish in nature.
- 19:05They are here to be the example, not necessarily be the one
- 19:09that's helping everybody.
- 19:10It doesn't mean you can't help people.
- 19:13But if it doesn't feel right for you to do that, and you are largely an
- 19:17individual circuitry person, if your channels are all individual circuitry,
- 19:22your conscious sun is individual, all of that stuff is individual, you have
- 19:25strong individual traits, then yeah, that probably makes a lot of sense
- 19:29that you don't want to work like that.
- 19:31That doesn't feel right to you.
- 19:33You want to make an impact?
- 19:34Sure.
- 19:34You do it differently.
- 19:36You do it through your work, so things like going into your human design,
- 19:40diving into your process, diving into what makes you tick, doing the things
- 19:44that feel right to you, tapping your creativity, that will lead you further
- 19:49than trying to figure out how you build this thing for other people, right?
- 19:53Second circuitry is tribal.
- 19:56Tribal, the keynotes for tribal are, the keynote is support.
- 20:00This is about community, governance, the material way, money.
- 20:05These are all themes that have to do with those things.
- 20:09They have to do with the business side of things.
- 20:11They have to do with usually about making something happen, creating something,
- 20:16but really doing it from like almost a sales perspective, especially the
- 20:21ego circuit within the tribal circuit.
- 20:24it's concerned with the needs of others, which is why we
- 20:27get the sales thing in there.
- 20:29So if you have the 2644 channel and people tell you like, Oh, it's the
- 20:32channel of the entrepreneur, the salesman.
- 20:34You're like, it doesn't really feel that way to me.
- 20:36It's about tapping into the needs of others.
- 20:39Being able to put language to it that you can transmit in a way that's authentic
- 20:43and strong and hopefully an integrity and people will buy it from you.
- 20:47I am largely a tribal person.
- 20:51That's why when I've tried to focus my business in other areas where I left that
- 20:57part out, it didn't really feel right.
- 21:00It doesn't, it feels like I'm leaving part of me out, which is why I do human design
- 21:05for business, not just human design.
- 21:08Okay.
- 21:09And then collective circuitry is the last one.
- 21:11Collective circuitry, the keynote for this is sharing.
- 21:15It is reflective in nature.
- 21:18It's looking backwards or it's looking to figure out a pattern
- 21:24or a formula to try to figure out how we can make everything better.
- 21:30Collective circuitry is looking at the outside world and having opinions
- 21:35and having thoughts about What's going wrong and how we can make it better,
- 21:40how we can contribute to the whole.
- 21:43These are the sharers.
- 21:45I am tribal and I am collective.
- 21:47I don't have any individual circuitry.
- 21:50In my channels anyway, I have gates that are in the individual, but I am
- 21:53largely a tribal, collective person.
- 21:58I can't help but share.
- 22:00It's part of me.
- 22:02And when I make that the focus, so if I say, I think an interesting
- 22:08one for this is like the 1858 channel, channel of judgment.
- 22:12It is about judging and critiquing things that you see going wrong.
- 22:19Now, a lot of these people who have this can also be perfectionists and
- 22:22can be really hard on themselves.
- 22:26They can be perfectionists with themselves.
- 22:29Knowing that it's collective energy.
- 22:31Helps me explain to them, this is collective.
- 22:35It's not for you.
- 22:37Your criticism, your judgments are not about you.
- 22:41And they're not necessarily, they're not judgment for judgment's sake.
- 22:44They are judgment to make everything better for other people.
- 22:48I was looking at, the time of recording this, yesterday was February
- 22:524th, was Rosa Park's birthday.
- 22:55Rosa Parks was, of course, the civil rights hero in 1955, she refused to
- 23:01give up her seat on the bus for a white person, and she kicked off the bus
- 23:07boycotts, and this was a huge moment in the civil rights movement, and she's a
- 23:11huge, tremendous figure and American hero for what she did, and her, one of her
- 23:17channels, she has a really fascinating chart, I said she'd do a reading about
- 23:21her, But she, she has the 1858 channel.
- 23:25She saw something wrong with the way things were, and she made a choice
- 23:31in that moment to take her action, to play her part in calling out what
- 23:36she thought was wrong, in calling out what she would not stand for anymore.
- 23:431858 is also just very damn the man, it is just like, you are not taking
- 23:48care of the people, authority can be bad, it was also, it's all over her
- 23:53chart, it's a really fascinating chart, but that 1858 channel, that channel of
- 23:58correction, that channel of judgment, said no, not today, I will be part of
- 24:03that correction today, so her behavior was in alignment with her sharing her
- 24:08view through her behavior, changing what she thought was wrong by saying no.
- 24:14So when we start to understand these bigger themes, sometimes
- 24:18that can help us understand how the details really come through for us.
- 24:22I use this in helping people decide how to structure their offers for sure.
- 24:29Like I said, if you are an individual, you may really not want to have a lot of like,
- 24:35one on one, structured, long term programs that might feel really suffocating to you.
- 24:41And if it feels suffocating to you, then you're gonna hold yourself
- 24:43back from selling that thing.
- 24:46Even if it could make you all the money in the world.
- 24:48Humans are funny creatures.
- 24:50We want something, but if our subconscious says that's not safe, we
- 24:54don't really want that because if we do, we're going to have to like really
- 24:58be holding a lot of people and we're not going to be really in charge of our
- 25:04time and individuals don't like that.
- 25:08They don't like anybody telling them what to do.
- 25:11They don't like authority.
- 25:12They don't trust it and they really don't like people demanding on their time.
- 25:17And they're also moody, so they don't know, they don't necessarily know if
- 25:22they're going to feel like, showing up to coach people at that time.
- 25:26It's not what they're designed to do.
- 25:28So we find other ways to do that.
- 25:29And when we find the right offer, then suddenly it becomes
- 25:34easier for them to sell.
- 25:35Isn't that funny?
- 25:37So I hope you found this helpful.
- 25:39If you want that Jean Keys and Gates guide that I've created with
- 25:42the circuitry so you can find your circuitry as well and you can start
