All of your life is a practice ground for for you to transform and transmute reactivity. When your husband leaves his clothes on the floor next to the hamper, instead of IN the hamper, or when he calls to ask, “where are you?” . . .
eeeevvvvven though you’ve told him 3 times AND sent him a google cal invite to tell him you had an appointment (all purely hypothetical examples, of course 😉), these are OPPORTUNITIES, gifted to you from life to sit in a seat of response, rather than reaction.
When you practice non-reactivity on the seemingly small things, you are preparing yourself to hold the energy of non-reactivity on the higher stakes situations life and business presents to you.
And, there’s no denying these situations are abundant.
That’s by design❤️.
The energy of Gate 49 (the Gate of Principles, an energy of Revolution), lives in your Solar Plexus - which is your emotional center. In Gene Keys, this energy moves from the shadow of reactivity, to the gift of revolution, to the siddhi, of rebirth.
The lens of Human Design teaches that emotions are meant to be witnessed, not to run your life. When you react, you allow the emotional impulse to take over your words & behaviors. With practice and a healthy dose of awareness, you can notice the emotion, and not act. This sounds simple, but it is actually quite revolutionary.
Your Turn to Reflect
If your reactions create the urge to cut someone or something off, shift directions, or make a major decision this week—PAUSE.
🔥 Most feelings that come with urgency are NOT a call for action.
🔥 They are a call for awareness.
Before you react, ask yourself:
✅ Am I responding from calm and trust, or am I reacting from fear?
✅ If I wait 24 hours, will I still feel this way?
✅ Am I making this choice because it is in alignment with my evolution, or is it to escape discomfort?
THIS ENERGY AT PLAY FOR EACH TYPE ⬇️
MANIFESTING GENERATORS
You are a Catalyst for Revolutionary Change
Your dynamic energy positions you as a natural catalyst for transformation. This week, observe where impulsive reactions may stem from a fear of not being in control. Recognize these patterns. When you do, you can channel your energy into initiating revolutionary changes that are rooted in your power, not your fears.
The next time you witness a reactionary pattern within you, PAUSE, and ask yourself: What would feel different if I could trust it is all working out for me?
GENERATORS
You are a Builder of Intentional Revolutions
Your steadfast energy is crucial for building lasting change. Your key to revolutionary leadership sits in your awareness of where you're responding to life and work's demands out of obligation or fear of not being, doing, or accomplishing enough, vs what’s actually expanding your life force. Identify your reactive tendencies to stay safe by fulfilling the never ending list of demands. This is your unconscious way of not facing the massive destiny that’s available for you - if you should simply choose to receive it.
The next time you witness a reactionary pattern within you, PAUSE, and ask yourself: How would I respond differently if I trusted my destiny could not miss me?
PROJECTORS
You are Being Guided Toward Alignment
Be mindful of situations where you over-effort to gain recognition or avoid rejection, as these actions are often rooted in the subconscious fear of being unseen, undervalued, or unworthy of love. This week is a perfect time to see if you can notice these reactive behaviors. When you do, you have a chance to remember your brilliance and to cultivate relationships that honor your true essence and gifts. Your conscious choice of alignment is what empowers you to offer you to experience reciprocity in work and life. You will now when you experience it because it feels like flow, not force.
The next time you witness a reactionary pattern within you, PAUSE, and ask yourself: How might I respond differently if I trusted that all of life is happening for me, not to me?
MANIFESTORS
You Are a Spark for Profound Transformation
Your capacity to initiate makes you a powerful force for change. The energy of this week, offers an opportune moment to reflect on instances where you act defensively due to a fear of losing control. These are the moments that you call into transforming your reactive desire for control, into a deliberate response to take action within the areas you do have influence. When you root yourself in integrity and trust, you can spearhead incredible shifts that not only redefine your path but also inspire societal rebirth (no pressure😉).
The next time you witness a reactionary pattern within you, PAUSE, and ask yourself: How might I respond differently if I trusted that my safety and freedom is guaranteed here?
REFLECTORS
You are a Messenger of Collective Harmony
As a mirror to the community, you sense the need for change before others. Observe if external pressures trigger reactive decisions stemming from a fear of instability. By embracing your unique perspective and allowing time for clarity, you can guide yourself and others through a transformative process that begins with choosing response instead of reaction. The simplicity of this shift alone, can lead to a profound sense of rebirth and harmony.
The next time you witness a reactionary pattern within you (or mirrored to you), PAUSE, and ask yourself: How might I respond differently if I trusted that everything is unfolding exactly as it is meant to, in each moment?
My Musings
What I am watching
There are so many treasures gifted to us from After Skool, but this one, featuring audio by Alan Watts, is one I have watched several times and each time, I take it in a little bit more. The title, “The False Idea of Who You Are” drew me in. For me, it didn’t disappoint - but remember that things can only meet where you are. If you watch and receive nothing, maybe you can come back to it another time.
Current “WOO” practice
A new ritual that I have been practicing, and will continue, for the upcoming future is to walk outside immediately upon waking. Most mornings, I am awake before it is light out. I put on my big blanket jacket (it’s kind of a fusion between the two), step in my front yard and sit in silence for 3 minutes. A lot can happen in 3 minutes if you are still enough to receive it all.
Current “WELL” obsession
Green juice is so 2010. I know because that is when I started one of the West Coast’s first juice cleanse companies. But here I am in 2025, and I still am obsessed. If you’re not - my guess is that you haven’t had truly amazing, organic, cold-pressed juice that is pressed minutes before you drank it. If you are local to me, visit my friend Shad, at Liquid for Life. Prepare to have your mind blown. Every cell of your body will thank you. He Mantras to the juice. Need I say anything more?
