The fastest way to dis-ease in your energy and subsequently your body is by saying yes to things you don’t want to do. Here’s how that works.
Your body is an intricately created machine which you can understand much more by reading its energy of it in your Human Design chart. This shows where you have consistent access to energy, how energy flows and the path to sustainable energy. If we look at Human Design as being the science of your aura, we can understand the impact of your chart on what your energy holds, or doesn’t.
Think of your aura as a sphere of energy around you. Everything you say yes to is held energetically within your auric field. Your aura is the first layer of energy that interacts with the world. If it is open and expansive, you attract more of what you desire from this place of alignment. If it is closed and contracted, or full, there is less capacity to receive what you desire. When you recognise that everything you say yes to sets the tone of your experience and manifestation in life, you may start to say yes to less.
How do you know if it’s right for you?
Your Human Design strategy and authority are the first places to look at to make aligned decisions. This sometimes takes time to build up your connection with working with your strategy and authority. It can also take time to trust the decision-making that is so often conditioned within us to be logical, follow obligations and not upset people by saying no. The purity of your aura and your alignment, however, is much more beneficial to everyone you meet, and to yourself.
Often in the Human Design chart, there are key places that say yes when they mean no, mostly because of conditioning. Look at your chart and see if you have any of these centres undefined. Although this is a general rule, it’s a great place to start exploring if you say yes and then wish you hadn’t or get completely depleted by what you’ve said yes to:
Root Centre: feeling the pressure to move or get started is often the reason this centre leaps for yes when energetically it’s a no
Sacral: the empowered defined sacral knows instantly what they are responding to with a yes. The undefined or the disempowered sacral doesn’t have that energy so is more likely to say yes so it doesn’t miss out.
Solar Plexus: feeling the disappointment or hurt from others when you say no can be unbearable for this centre, so saying yes and people pleasing often feels like an easier, more comfortable way forward
Ego / Heart / Will Centre: the whole world told you that you have to be consistent, motivated and dedicated to be successful and of value, so of course this centre says yes to doing more, because that’s valuable, right?
How does this impact my health?
When you say yes, when really your energy is saying no, you are using energy you don’t have access to. Like a bank, if you take money you don’t have, eventually the bank will say “no more!”. Your body is the same. Especially if you are not replenishing your energy in the process. The easiest way is for you to get clear about what is a yes and what is a no, and follow your guidance with compassion and courage.
Remember, this is a journey. It is not something you are going to master instantly. Be kind to yourself and open to the experiment.
