Start With the Small Stuff

As Generators, we are here to be satisfied.  We are here to learn what it means to enter into things correctly so we can use our life force energy towards things that make us feel good and naturally regenerate. 

But we’ve lost touch with what makes us happy.  Sometimes those things feel like distant echoes from the past.  Sometimes those things were never found, which feels like an added anchor to our sometimes melancholic states.

And layer upon layer of conditioning.  From relationships, family, society.  So how do you put fuel into your spaceship?

Sometimes, coming into the experiment can feel daunting.  How do you get out of certain situations you’ve found yourself in?  How do you know what an authentic sacral response feels like?  What does it really mean to live a life of satisfaction?  Is this waiting thing for real?

As part of your experiment, getting in touch with the sacral response can be with little things.  Start with the small stuff.  Start a project you can finish in a few hours or the same day.  Do something you never let yourself do.  Go sit at the bar and have a beer.  Pay the five bucks to download that movie.  Get extra blue cheese.  Stop at the bookstore on the way home.  Who knows, whatever it is.  We’ve conditioned ourselves to suffer.  We’ve conditioned ourselves to be so used to the state of stress that we think it’s normal.  Experiment with your satisfaction. 

It’s not that it’s about a temporary state of happiness.  It’s about being yourself and finding yourself again.  Especially when you’ve forced yourself to be comfortable in someone else’s box.  Experimenting is how you find what is true for you. 

Life won’t change in one day.  It changes one decision at a time.  When we make so many decisions that are more in alignment with our authentic nature, something changes inside of us, maybe some kind of quantum cellular regeneration.  All I really know is that this is the process, step by step, of creating the life you love.  One choice at a time.  One question and response at a time.  Less suffering and frustration.  And more happiness and satisfaction.

And if you’re not a Generator, it’s still the same.  It’s still one decision at a time.  It’s still one more choice to wait and take the pressure off yourself and your genetics. 

So, start with the small stuff.  Take the pressure off.  This is a path of self love.

Generators Need To Be Asked

I’ve been doing readings as a certified analyst for several years now.  Many times I will check in or hear from my clients a few months after their initial Foundation Reading.  One thing I hear from some Generators is that they are still feeling frustrated about many things.  There is still a stuck energy with work, with relationships, with how to move forward in life.  So where is the resistance happening in their experiment? After some inquiry, I am seeing a few of the missing links. 

Generators need to be asked.  You cannot ask yourself questions with your own mind.  There are no shortcuts to bypassing the mind.  The Sacral Center operates through response, not through initiating!  You cannot go on quietly trying to push forward, making daily decisions that you have not run past your Sacral Center.  So what steps can you take today to make these changes and start living out your Strategy?

 1)   Have allies.  Generators need their people around them who understand the experiment and the value of being asked.  An ally is probably not someone enmeshed in the outcome of your answer, but someone who can be neutral and non-moralistic towards whatever comes out of your mouth.  Really, they do not even need to know about Human Design, but if they can recognize the value of being an ally who evokes a correct decision making process, then they can be correct for you.

2)   Teach the people in your life to honor you as a Generator and ask you questions or give you options.  It sounds so simple, right?  It could be something like, “Hey (friend or loved one), I realize that I really get in touch with my truth when I can hear my response from being asked a question.  Can you ask me more questions?  Can you rephrase that as a question so I can hear what comes out?”  Something, anything like that, but it has to start with you being asked.  The age of being told what to do is over. The next time someone tells you what to do or demands an answer out of the blue, that is another opportunity to educate them that you need to be respected as a Generator, in your own words, of course.

3)   Respond to your responses.  When we are asked, we have a chance to hear our Sacral Response, but not all responses work that way. Sometimes it is not always 100% clear what is an authentic Sacral Response and what is a response from the mind.  Sometimes in life, we do just have to take a step in some direction.  What if you think it was an authentic response, but as you take action, you meet resistance and things feel off or do not flow?  Respond to your response! Change your course and take it as a learning experience to get to know and recognize the subtleties of the Response mechanism.  It is an experiment after all.  I love the idea of “responding to my responses” because it doesn’t leave me frozen in my tracks, but creates some movement and awareness to check out what happens and how I enter into any situation.  Since “response” is happening all the time and we aren’t always asked, this is a more subtle recognition where we can develop awareness.
