Human Design Reveals Your Inner A Palace
A lack of flow and functionality is the indicator that you have inner clutter causing you chaos. Imagine that you’re a palace and each room contains ‘furniture.’ Each piece of ‘furniture’ was donated by someone around you when you were forming your sense of identity. Almost all of them arrived without your knowledge. None of it is truly correct for you and becomes inner clutter.
Now, because of this clutter, when you move through the outer world, you may find yourself tripping over the ‘furniture’ of your inner one.
This collection of ‘furniture’ is usually scattered about without rhyme or reason throughout these rooms in your palace. This inner clutter is composed of ugly ‘furniture.’ Much of it has pointy corners and sharp edges, or something pokey sticking out. There may be a significant piece blocking the doorway, making it difficult to get in or out. There may be something bulky and unattractive placed right in front of a window, blocking a view that you would love to see.
This ‘furniture’ has the power to either make your life easier and more fulfilling, or it can cause you scrapes and bruises as you bump into or trip over it. Unless you have the chance to clear it out or put it where it makes you happy, it will continue to block your way. Moving through your life with enjoyment and ease will remain difficult. Every visit to these rooms will be painful and confusing.
Unpacking Your Inner Furniture: What Is All This Stuff?
As you grew up and became who you are today, you collected an unlimited number of stories about yourself. The various ‘cupboards,’ ‘bookshelves,’ ‘dressers,’ ‘tables,’ and ‘armoires’ of your inner world are the stories you’ve collected, becoming the ‘furniture’ of your inner palace. They’re trying to help explain the kind of world you believe you live in and your place in it.
Some of these stories may be helpful, energizing, and loving. Many of them are not. Almost all of these stories have been given to you by family, culture, or education. They seem to have always been there, and you may not even be aware of them. Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop them from causing you stress and pain.
So, the question is, what do you do with all of this ‘furniture’?
Human Design: Your Blueprint to Spaciousness
Your Human Design Bodygraph reveals the empty rooms where you’re most likely to have accumulated this inner clutter. Your Open and Undefined Centers represent the empty rooms. Each Center has a unique quality of energy, focused on a particular aspect of life.
For example, the Undefined or Open Heart/Ego/Will Center houses themes such as worthiness, material success, making and keeping promises, and self-esteem. This room in your inner palace is where you’ll have collected and absorbed stories about yourself related to these themes.
When you take a look at what’s behind the door of this particular room, you’ll see that you’ve got a cluttered and chaotic space. With such a haphazard maze of inner ‘furniture,’ it’s no wonder you keep stumbling and bumping up against sharp corners and hard edges when it comes to thinking about or making decisions about your self-worth, success, and proving yourself. It will appear as though another person causes the emotional bumps and bruises you’re experiencing. This person can be whoever is in front of you at the moment, or someone in your past.
Clearing the Clutter: A Compassionate Process
The seemingly Herculean task of sorting through and clearing out all of your inner ‘furniture’ can appear overwhelming at first. That’s why it’s essential to allow yourself to be patient, compassionate, and loving toward yourself. You didn’t accumulate all of this ‘furniture’ overnight, and you won’t sort it all out in one go, either. You must begin with the awareness that this will be a process.
There are 3 steps you can take to make the work easier and also emotionally rewarding.
- Learn which of the Centers in your Bodygraph are Open and Undefined. Discover what themes those Centers carry.
- Recognize that your Human Design creates your receptivity in those areas and that the inner clutter you’ve accumulated was inevitable.
- Give yourself the grace to understand that it wasn’t your fault, and not even the fault of those around you. They were donating ‘furniture’ they’d come to believe was necessary or helpful.
The Unveiling: A Journey of Self-Discovery
This work can be profound, and you may find yourself experiencing emotions you haven’t felt in quite some time. It’s natural to reconnect to the original emotions that were present when that ‘furniture’ was delivered. The stories that you’re clearing out may be quite dusty and even moldy. Give yourself the support you need by practicing good self-care as you navigate this challenging time.
With each adjustment to the clutter and chaos of your inner palace, you’ll see increased flow and functionality inside and out. Be sure to celebrate your successes as you go, because that will enhance your energy and commitment to continue. Over time, you’ll notice that there’s genuine joy in the process, as well as the resulting spaciousness and clarity in your life.
