Energetic Integrity and Your Health
Energetic integrity is something that I have found to be the missing key to health. When you are in energetic integrity you are aligned with your authentic self, which is the highest form of self love. Your soul craves authenticity. In fact, according to the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE), which measures the frequency of emotions, authenticity is the highest frequency emitted by humans, even higher than love!
Throughout our lives we become conditioned by the people closest to us (family, friends, teachers, coworkers), societal pressure, as well as through religious or cultural beliefs. Conditioning influences all of the things we think we “should” and “shouldn’t” be doing which may or may not be in alignment with what is true and authentic for you. This is referred to as the “not-self”. We end up people pleasing and putting others feelings, needs, wants, or dreams first at the expense of, or to the detriment of, our own feelings, needs, wants, or dreams. Maybe we are lying to ourself or to others to avoid conflict. Not speaking your truth. Saying, “I’m fine” when you’re really not.
You are always communicating with your nervous system.
Energetic Mis-alignment
Take a moment to think about how you feel when you are in these situations. That is what it feels like to be out of energetic alignment. For some people it feels like anger. Others may feel frustrated or resentful. For many people this is complete exhaustion and burn out. How many people do you know who are dealing with depression and/or anxiety? Living this way is constantly activating your sympathetic nervous system, aka causing chronic stress.
When we are living in a state of chronic stress, anxiety, or depression this has a tremendous impact on our health. It affects our sleep, gut microbiome, hormones, metabolism, blood pressure, fertility, mitochondrial function, and much more. There is a lack of motivation to eat healthy, exercise, and prioritize self-care. Unfortunately, this has become “normal” in our society leading to a health crisis.
The more you live out of alignment with your design and energetic integrity, the greater the pain, suffering, and likelihood of physical illness.
Human Design and Authenticity
Human Design is a synthesis of ancient and modern sciences that provides a detailed blueprint of your unique energy signature based on your exact birth date, time, and place. Think of it like a self-assessment tool that gives you the keys to your energetic DNA. Each of us have our own unique imprint similar to a snowflake. We are an energetic soul having a human experience in this physical body.
Human design is the path back to your true self. It can help you identify where you have been living in the “not-self” so that you can start the deconditioning process and move towards the highest expression of your life purpose. The problem isn’t how hard you’re working, it’s that you aren’t working on things that are right for you. Your goals, passions, purpose, etc. aren’t aligned with your deepest truth, your true self. They likely came from outside sources such as fear/trauma OR social/cultural pressure/expectations.
Each of us has a strategy and authority and when we learn to follow it every aspect of our lives begins to feel easier. We start making decisions that are in alignment with our energetic integrity and stop trying to force things or constantly compromise when it comes to our wants and needs. We begin to follow our joy allowing God/the universe/source to bring synchronicities, new opportunities, and allow our body to not only heal, but thrive.
