Unbecoming: A Return to Remembering
What if the journey isn’t about becoming anything at all?
What if the path isn’t upward or outward—but inward and downward—
into the soil of the soul,
into the heart of remembering?
Not a race toward some perfected version of self,
but a soft and sacred unraveling.
A peeling back.
A letting go.
A falling in.
Because the truth is:
You are not here to become something.
You are here to unbecome everything you are not.
Everything the world told you to be.
Everything you thought you had to be to feel safe, or loved, or enough.
The tight smiles.
The armor.
The striving.
The shrinking.
The pretending.
You were never meant to carry it all.
We come into this life as love—
pure and soft and knowing—
and then, slowly, we forget.
We forget our light.
We forget our wild.
We forget how to trust the quiet whispers within.
We forget the sacredness of simply being.
But unbecoming...
Unbecoming is remembering.
It’s remembering the way your body speaks in sensation and shiver.
It’s remembering the soul beneath the scars.
The breath beneath the story.
The You beneath the you you’ve been told to be.
Unbecoming is not a performance.
It is a prayer.
A gentle laying down of all that is no longer yours to carry.
A bow to the versions of you that helped you survive—
and an honoring release as you step into something more real.
Not new.
Just ancient.
Just you.
So how do we remember?
We sit in stillness.
We feel what we once ran from.
We let our tears do the sacred washing.
We soften our grip.
We follow the threads of truth that tug quietly at our chest.
We breathe.
We breathe again.
We walk barefoot back into our own hearts,
and we listen.
And we listen deeper.
Until one day…
we remember:
We are not broken.
We are not too much.
We are not behind.
We are not the masks we wear.
We are love, embodied.
We are ancient wisdom wrapped in skin.
We are divine remembering in motion.
May we all have the courage to unbecome.
To unwind.
To unravel.
To return.
And may that return feel like Home.
Ready to Remember?
If something in you is whispering yes... follow it.
Book your private yoga journey, schedule a bodywork session, or come sit with us in sacred circle.
This is the path of unbecoming—of returning to the truth beneath it all.
Let’s walk it together.
Let’s come home.
Unlocking Your True Potential: An Introduction to Human Design
Human Design isn’t just a tool for self-discovery—it's a transformative system that bridges ancient wisdom and modern science to reveal your unique energetic blueprint. By showing you how to live authentically, Human Design offers a pathway to greater alignment, self-acceptance, and liberation, empowering you to embrace who you truly are.
Unlike traditional personality systems that focus on behavior or psychology, Human Design focuses on energy—how you process it, interact with others, and navigate the world. Often referred to as a “roadmap for life,” it helps you make decisions that align with your deepest self.
The Origins of Human Design
Human Design was discovered in 1987 by Ra Uru Hu (born Robert Allan Krakower), a Canadian physicist and artist. While living on the island of Ibiza, Ra experienced a profound eight-day mystical event during which he received a transmission of knowledge. This information became the foundation of the Human Design system.
What sets Human Design apart is its integration of diverse systems, including:
The I Ching (an ancient Chinese divination system)
The Kabbalah (the Tree of Life)
The Chakra System (energy centers from Hinduism)
Astrology (planetary influences at the time of birth)
Quantum Physics (the science of subatomic particles, particularly neutrinos)
By synthesizing these traditions, Human Design offers a practical, comprehensive framework for understanding yourself and navigating life.
How Human Design Works
Your Human Design chart, called a BodyGraph, is created using your birth date, time, and location. This chart is a visual representation of your energetic makeup and includes several key components:
Types: There are five energy types: Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector—each with a unique role in the world.
Centers: These energy hubs, similar to chakras, reflect aspects of life like communication, emotions, and intuition.
Strategy: This is how each type is designed to approach decision-making and interaction.
Authority: Your inner compass that helps guide you toward aligned decisions.
Gates and Channels: These reveal your natural gifts, life themes, and how energy flows within you.
Together, these elements create a personalized blueprint, providing insights into your strengths, challenges, and purpose.
My Journey as a Mental Projector
As a Mental Projector, I discovered that I make decisions differently than most people. Without an inner authority, my decision-making process relies on speaking my thoughts aloud to trusted people—not for advice, but to hear my own truth reflected back to me. This understanding has been transformative, helping me navigate choices with clarity and confidence.
With mostly open energy centers, I’m deeply sensitive to the energy of others, making it crucial to discern what belongs to me and what I absorb from my environment. This awareness has helped me reclaim my energy and live more authentically.
Embracing My Profile: The Hermit Heretic (2/5)
My Human Design profile—Hermit Heretic—has been instrumental in helping me release long-held guilt and shame. As a Hermit (2), I thrive on solitude and need time alone to recharge and refine my gifts. For years, I viewed my reclusive tendencies as a flaw. However, through the lens of Human Design, I now see my need for solitude as a strength, not a weakness.
The Heretic (5) aspect of my profile revealed my natural role as a teacher and guide. I’ve always felt compelled to share knowledge, often unconsciously. I worried I was “too much,” but Human Design re-framed this. Teaching is a core part of who I am, and embracing this truth helped me shed the shame and fully step into my purpose.
How Human Design Liberates Us
Human Design is a powerful tool for radical self-acceptance, offering the freedom to break free from societal conditioning and step into our unique design. Here's how it can transform your life:
Clarity and Confidence: Understanding your design helps you make aligned decisions and trust yourself.
Self-Acceptance: Human Design empowers you to embrace your natural strengths and quirks, instead of trying to change who you are.
Freedom from Conditioning: Identifying where you've been conditioned to act out of alignment allows you to release old, unhelpful patterns.
Improved Relationships: Knowing your design—and the design of others—enhances communication, empathy, and connection.
Purpose and Fulfillment: By revealing your unique gifts, Human Design helps you share them with the world, leading to a more meaningful life.
Living in Alignment
In a world that often pressures us to conform, Human Design offers permission to simply be yourself. It’s not about fixing or improving yourself—it’s about realizing that you are already whole. When you live in alignment with your design, life flows more naturally, and resistance fades.
Getting Started with Human Design
If this resonates with you, the first step is to generate your BodyGraph chart using your birth details. There are plenty of online tools available, or you can work with a certified Human Design reader for deeper insights.
Most importantly, treat Human Design as an experiment. Try living by your type, strategy, and authority, and observe how it feels. Liberation comes not from memorizing your chart, but from embodying it.
Human Design has the potential to transform how you see yourself and your life. It’s an invitation to live authentically, embrace your gifts, and align with your unique purpose.
What would change for you if you truly embraced who you are?
