Nicole Laino: I'm your host, Nicole Laino.
0:21
Nicole Laino: Hello, and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design.
0:24
Nicole Laino: Everyone, I am so happy to be here because this is our 400th episode.
0:31
Nicole Laino: So I'm going to do a little bit of a celebration here.
0:33
Nicole Laino: I am so, like, proud of what we've accomplished with this show.
0:38
Nicole Laino: I can't believe we've done 400 episodes and I've done so many of them solo.
0:43
Nicole Laino: So it's been a lot of you listening to me.
0:46
Nicole Laino: Whether you are a longtime listener, a loyal listener, where you listen to every episode, or if this is your first one, I just want you to know how grateful I am for this show.
0:57
Nicole Laino: I'm so grateful for every single person who gave me time in their day and allowed me to, you know, chug along with you in your earbuds.
1:05
Nicole Laino: And you gave me the gift of being able to share my gifts through this show.
1:10
Nicole Laino: I am forever grateful.
1:12
Nicole Laino: So thank you.
1:14
Nicole Laino: And I just want to say, like, this show has changed my business.
1:17
Nicole Laino: We have had 170,000 downloads for this show.
1:21
Nicole Laino: I looked it up before we hopped on, and I'm incredibly proud of that.
1:25
Nicole Laino: And I'm in awe of the fact that many people wanted to hear from me and cared about what I had to say.
1:32
Nicole Laino: And I hope that this show has touched your lives.
1:34
Nicole Laino: I hope that it's helped you live more in alignment with who you are, touch your potential, and start to peel back the layers.
1:42
Nicole Laino: That's really what human design is about.
1:44
Nicole Laino: And what we try to help you do on this show is to build that aligned and profitable business, but also to really, at the core of everything is trying to help you peel back the layers that are keeping you from your God given potential.
2:00
Nicole Laino: And so I wanted, you know, with this milestone episode, I wanted to make sure that we centered this episode around something that I love deeply and that was deeply connected to that mission and that purpose here.
2:15
Nicole Laino: So I chose to talk about the magic of the gene keys in this episode because the gene keys are something that is.
2:22
Nicole Laino: They are a system that is so near and dear to my heart.
2:26
Nicole Laino: They are at the center of everything that I do.
2:28
Nicole Laino: I know we talk about human design a lot on here.
2:31
Nicole Laino: That is the main thing.
2:33
Nicole Laino: However, gene keys are just as much a part of my everyday as human design is.
2:39
Nicole Laino: And for those of you who don't know, so I'm going to cover in the episode, I'm going to cover what gene keys are.
2:43
Nicole Laino: I'm going to talk to you about how I use them and how I work with them.
2:46
Nicole Laino: We'll talk about the sequences, the main sequences, and I'll get into just some of the ways that this has shifted things for me and for my clients.
2:56
Nicole Laino: So what are the gene keys?
2:57
Nicole Laino: First of all, for those of you who don't know, who aren't familiar with the gene keys are kind of like a sister program to human design.
3:05
Nicole Laino: They are very much connected.
3:07
Nicole Laino: Richard Rudd, who created the gene keys, he was a student of RA who was the founder of human design.
3:14
Nicole Laino: So he was a human design person first and then he got the kind of think he channeled the gene keys, he got some sort of, I calls them transmissions.
3:23
Nicole Laino: But the gene keys, there are 64 gene keys and gene keys are synonymous with gates.
3:29
Nicole Laino: So there are 64 gates in the human design chart.
3:32
Nicole Laino: You'll see when you look at your chart, there's all the numbers in all of the different centers.
3:36
Nicole Laino: They represent sub themes of the energetic theme of the center.
3:40
Nicole Laino: There are 64 of them.
3:42
Nicole Laino: The gates are the same.
3:44
Nicole Laino: So when you look at your chart and you see gate two in the G center, that's gene key two.
3:50
Nicole Laino: So they are exactly the same.
3:51
Nicole Laino: Some people are like, are they different?
3:52
Nicole Laino: They are not.
3:53
Nicole Laino: And I know this can be a little bit mysterious, so that's why I want to break this down.
3:57
Nicole Laino: So they are synonymous.
3:59
Nicole Laino: So why did I became a gene keys guide?
4:02
Nicole Laino: I am certified as a gene keys guide.
4:04
Nicole Laino: The reason that I think gene keys are so powerful is they really represent like the poetry of life and the poetry of our chart.
4:13
Nicole Laino: And just the whimsical nature of this human design can be very strategic.
4:19
Nicole Laino: I look at them as like human design is kind of the masculine energy behind living in alignment.
4:26
Nicole Laino: Because I look at human design, there's a lot of like, if this, then do that.
4:29
Nicole Laino: Here's how you feel this.
4:31
Nicole Laino: If you feel this, then go.
4:33
Nicole Laino: If you feel this, then stop.
4:35
Nicole Laino: It can be a little bit more mental.
4:37
Nicole Laino: You can get pushed into your head a little bit, even though it's not meant to do that.
4:41
Nicole Laino: And it can make you feel a little bit like you need to get it right.
4:44
Nicole Laino: There's a right way and there's a wrong way.
4:47
Nicole Laino: I, I think that's how it's set up.
4:48
Nicole Laino: Of course that's not how it's meant to be.
4:50
Nicole Laino: But that's, I think, how people can feel.
4:52
Nicole Laino: But I think that the human design, one of the benefits is that it does kind of give you a clear process to follow, which I think is helpful.
5:01
Nicole Laino: So if you can get out of feeling like you're getting it wrong, and you can just experiment with like, okay, I get it.
5:07
Nicole Laino: This is how it works.
5:08
Nicole Laino: All right?
5:08
Nicole Laino: I didn't get it there, but now I know what to do.
5:11
Nicole Laino: I think human design gives us that.
5:13
Nicole Laino: Where I think human design falls short is in the gates, when they describe the gates.
5:19
Nicole Laino: So when Ra described the gates, if you've heard him lecture and you've heard him talk about them or you've seen them, you know, the definitions that he written anywhere, you probably had a similar experience, like I did, where you read a gate or two or three or all of them, and you were like, oh, shit, I'm doomed.
5:38
Nicole Laino: Like, this is going to be bad.
5:39
Nicole Laino: Because they do sound very negative.
5:41
Nicole Laino: His definitions in particular, I think they speak more to the conditioning of them than to the potential.
5:49
Nicole Laino: And then you have somebody like Karen Curry Parker, who's created Quantum human design, and she only talks about the positive side of things.
5:57
Nicole Laino: So she had the same reaction to Roz definitions.
6:00
Nicole Laino: And she's like, I'm going to write a whole new version.
6:03
Nicole Laino: I'm going to write my interpretations of these things, but I'm going to make it sound better.
6:06
Nicole Laino: I'm going to make it sound more in alignment with potential.
6:10
Nicole Laino: Wonderful intention behind that, but I think that sometimes get missed there too.
6:15
Nicole Laino: There were still some things when I read her definitions, I'm thinking about one channel.
6:21
Nicole Laino: I think it was in particular, it was either the channel or it was gate 48.
6:24
Nicole Laino: And she talked about the shadow and she talked about how people generally who have this channel feel really inadequate.
6:31
Nicole Laino: And that was true for me, but she didn't tell me anything about where else could go.
6:36
Nicole Laino: I think that they're usually incomplete.
6:38
Nicole Laino: They're either erring on this completely positive, or they only highlight the negative.
6:44
Nicole Laino: And what Richard Rudd does with the Gene Keys is one.
6:49
Nicole Laino: I think his contemplations are so rich around all of these gates, all of these keys that are like gates that we are unlocking that open us up to the potential that is us.
7:01
Nicole Laino: What are the 64 pieces of potential?
7:03
Nicole Laino: And which ones do you have?
7:05
Nicole Laino: Which ones do you have?
7:06
Nicole Laino: Maybe a lot of that might be a key you want to turn really early on.
7:10
Nicole Laino: You want to start working on that gate, because there's probably some real magic behind that.
7:15
Nicole Laino: Gate for you.
7:16
Nicole Laino: And the way that he describes them, he gives them a frequency band.
7:20
Nicole Laino: So for every gate, he gives the shadow expression, the gift expression, and then what we call the city, which is like the enlightened state for that gate.
7:29
Nicole Laino: So let's talk about what this looks like when we are in low expression, when we are living in the gift.
7:35
Nicole Laino: And then if we can even touch that, like, enlightened Buddha state of the city.
7:41
Nicole Laino: He gives a really rich description behind all three of them for every single gate.
7:47
Nicole Laino: And like I said, he's very poetic in the way that he talks about them.
7:51
Nicole Laino: And I think that this lends to the feminine side of exploring your design.
7:55
Nicole Laino: So we have the masculine side of, like, the structure and how we do it with human design.
8:00
Nicole Laino: And then gene keys come in and they say, well, how can we softly look at this stuff and just sort of swim in all of this possibility and all the ways that these things could go?
8:12
Nicole Laino: And I think that there is a richness that without the gene keys, I think that it would be difficult to really touch your potential with human design without diving into the gene keys.
8:22
Nicole Laino: I think that he's added something irreplaceable.
8:26
Nicole Laino: And, I mean, perhaps I'm biased.
8:27
Nicole Laino: Richard Rhett and I actually have the same conscious sun.
8:31
Nicole Laino: So this gate 64 is both our life's work for both of us.
8:36
Nicole Laino: So we speak the same language, so to speak.
8:39
Nicole Laino: I think that I'm very receptive to his way of approaching this.
8:42
Nicole Laino: Because our city state is illumination.
8:45
Nicole Laino: We have the ability to illuminate a new path.
8:48
Nicole Laino: And I think that is exactly what he's done with these keys.
8:52
Nicole Laino: The explanations that he gives open you up to kind of a new world behind this.
8:57
Nicole Laino: Rather than just thinking about how it's operating in your world and whether it's good or bad, he gives you this kind of mystical depth.
9:06
Nicole Laino: Walk through all of your potentials, and it's beautiful.
9:11
Nicole Laino: I think that it's similar to me as, like, the depth of and the mysticism of, like, astrology.
9:16
Nicole Laino: But I think it's simpler to follow.
9:18
Nicole Laino: I think you need to learn astrology.
9:21
Nicole Laino: Whereas the gene keys, you could open the gene keys book, you have gate 22 in your conscious sun, can open the gene keys book, open it to 22 and read it and get something from that.
9:31
Nicole Laino: With astrology, I think it's a little bit more intimidating for people that they don't understand how it all works.
9:37
Nicole Laino: And with this, I think it's a little bit of a simpler path for people to understand.
9:42
Nicole Laino: I'm not Saying it's better.
9:43
Nicole Laino: I'm just saying it's simpler.
9:45
Nicole Laino: It was simpler for me.
9:46
Nicole Laino: So within the gene keys there are three main sequences or paths.
9:51
Nicole Laino: There are more.
9:52
Nicole Laino: Richard Red has continued to create more paths and they're wonderful.
9:57
Nicole Laino: But the three main ones that I work with are the activation sequence, which is about unlocking your genius.
10:05
Nicole Laino: Then there is the Venus sequence, which is about your emotional path and relationships.
10:10
Nicole Laino: That is the longest of the paths.
10:13
Nicole Laino: It is the most in depth.
10:16
Nicole Laino: I think that there is a lot of richness there if you are somebody who had relationship issues or.
10:23
Nicole Laino: I think the Venus sequence can be really beautiful for deconditioning work.
10:27
Nicole Laino: You want to know where you have deep dark stuff going on and have a greater understanding of it.
10:32
Nicole Laino: The Venus sequence is a really beautiful path to walk.
10:36
Nicole Laino: And then you have the prosperity sequence.
10:40
Nicole Laino: This is the pearl sequence.
10:41
Nicole Laino: And this is.
10:43
Nicole Laino: I use a lot of this.
10:44
Nicole Laino: I use the activation sequence and the pearl sequence the most in my authority matrix and in my program.
10:51
Nicole Laino: Inside Business by design is mostly those two.
10:55
Nicole Laino: But when I'm working with people, I don't discriminate.
10:57
Nicole Laino: I'm not like, oh well, I don't really use that one.
11:00
Nicole Laino: Whatever.
11:00
Nicole Laino: Somebody, if I'm coaching someone, if they're sitting in front of me and they're talking about a problem, I have their chart up and I'm looking at their chart and if I notice something that is about relationships, I might go look at one of their spheres from one of their gene keys from the Venus sequence.
11:18
Nicole Laino: And I may or may not share that with them, but it's how I might come up with the questions that I ask them would be around the energy behind that gate, the over experience.
11:26
Nicole Laino: This.
11:26
Nicole Laino: What does this mean to you?
11:27
Nicole Laino: Can I ask you this?
11:28
Nicole Laino: And I'm getting those questions.
11:30
Nicole Laino: I'm able to ask people better questions because I understand the intricacies of these gates through the gene keys.
11:38
Nicole Laino: So each of the sequences is a distinct path of evolution in these areas.
11:45
Nicole Laino: The activation sequence is the first one.
11:47
Nicole Laino: That's the one that kind of activates your genius and the main gifts of your incarnation.
11:52
Nicole Laino: Cross.
11:53
Nicole Laino: The Venus sequence is going to evolve you really as a human.
11:57
Nicole Laino: It's very human.
11:59
Nicole Laino: And then the pearl sequence evolves you in your business, in your prosperity.
12:05
Nicole Laino: So the reason I became a gene keys guide was because I don't know how to do this work without it.
12:12
Nicole Laino: And I really wanted to have the depth of knowledge and understanding of these if I was going to incorporate it into my business.
12:19
Nicole Laino: And plus I find it fun.
12:21
Nicole Laino: So I was Happy to do the program.
12:23
Nicole Laino: And for me, the way that I work, when I talk about Gates, I'm talking about the gene Keys.
12:28
Nicole Laino: And what Gene Keys has done for me is allowed me to read those definitions or to get other people's perspectives, other experts, perspectives on the different Gates and hear those.
12:40
Nicole Laino: And because I understand them through the Gene Keys, those other explanations become a whole lot clearer, become a whole lot richer.
12:48
Nicole Laino: And I understand the essence of them so much more because I understand that entire breath.
12:54
Nicole Laino: We're not just talking about, you know, the gift or just the shadow.
12:58
Nicole Laino: Here's the reason why this is always going to be a problem for you.
13:00
Nicole Laino: That's how a lot of Ra's stuff would come across, at least to me.
13:05
Nicole Laino: I see it differently now because I understand it more.
13:08
Nicole Laino: But in the beginning, when it's the first thing that you encounter, it's not welcoming.
13:12
Nicole Laino: It doesn't make you feel great about where you're going.
13:15
Nicole Laino: My conscious sun is the gate of confusion.
13:18
Nicole Laino: My unconscious Mars and my Mercury gate are the 29th gate.
13:22
Nicole Laino: The gate of the abysmal is what it's called.
13:25
Nicole Laino: They don't sound encouraging.
13:28
Nicole Laino: They sound like a death sentence.
13:31
Nicole Laino: And it's the gene keys that made me see.
13:33
Nicole Laino: Oh, okay, I get how I might fall into the shadow, but the gift is still present.
13:39
Nicole Laino: And that leads me to, I think one of the most profound things I've ever heard comes from Richard Redd and the gene Keys.
13:45
Nicole Laino: He says, every shadow contains a gift.
13:48
Nicole Laino: Oh, my heart, what hope that gave me.
13:51
Nicole Laino: And it changed how I looked at personal development.
13:54
Nicole Laino: It changed how I looked at this system.
13:56
Nicole Laino: So by giving us that frequency band of shadow, gift and city, showing us that our potential can.
14:03
Nicole Laino: And this is where I talk about all the time, how I see everything on the chart as a dial that is either turned low to a low frequency or turned all the way up to a GIF or a city.
14:15
Nicole Laino: It's Richard Rudd that gave me the ability to see things that way, rather just feeling like something I would battle forever.
14:22
Nicole Laino: And that we have the ability to.
14:24
Nicole Laino: To touch all of those frequencies.
14:27
Nicole Laino: With enough love, compassion, attention, awareness, and contemplation, we can find our magic in those places and we can turn that dial.
14:37
Nicole Laino: And that's how we become the best version of ourselves.
14:40
Nicole Laino: That's how we start to show up more in our gifts than in our shadows.
14:44
Nicole Laino: Because it can be very difficult to be self aware of everything, right?
14:47
Nicole Laino: So a lot of people will tell you, like, oh, self awareness is important.
14:51
Nicole Laino: Self awareness is important.
14:52
Nicole Laino: I think self awareness is One of the most important things, self awareness, though, when you're trying to be aware of everything that you've ever read in a book, was it that was an undesirable behavior or something?
15:04
Nicole Laino: Self awareness can really turn into self criticism very easily.
15:08
Nicole Laino: We become aware of something and we think we're wrong.
15:11
Nicole Laino: What Gene Keys taught me was that if I could become aware of very specific things, these are my specific low frequency things, these are my low frequency energies, these are my tendencies.
15:25
Nicole Laino: Probably my habits are going to be associated with these.
15:27
Nicole Laino: Can I become aware of them?
15:29
Nicole Laino: And then if I become aware of them, can I graduate to understanding?
15:33
Nicole Laino: Well, what's the flip side of this?
15:34
Nicole Laino: If tails is low frequency, heads is a gift.
15:37
Nicole Laino: Okay, same coin.
15:39
Nicole Laino: What's the other side of this?
15:41
Nicole Laino: I no longer looked at myself with criticism.
15:44
Nicole Laino: I started to look at myself with curiosity.
15:46
Nicole Laino: And that's what we open up inside my containers.
15:49
Nicole Laino: And, and that is completely because of the Gene Keys.
15:52
Nicole Laino: That is the inspiration behind all of it.
15:54
Nicole Laino: So I encourage you to go and dive into your Gene Keys if you buy the Gene Keys books.
16:00
Nicole Laino: They are very helpful.
16:02
Nicole Laino: If you're looking for help with that is what we do inside of all three tiers of Business by Design.
