Hello and welcome to Unshakeable with Human Design, everybody. I’m your host, Nicole Laino, and today I want to talk about a really fundamental piece of human design that I think often gets overlooked. And I don’t think a lot of people talk about it necessarily, or not talk about it maybe in the way that I’m about to present it to you, but it really can hone your awareness into why some things happen for you.

And I think that’s one of the main benefits of human design is that we start to understand how we tick and why we do the things that we do. I think that’s what we’re all interested in. Why do I have this problem? Why do I always feel like it takes me a long time to process things? Why do I feel like I don’t really identify with some aspects of my definition? I ran my chart, it says I have a defined identity center, but I don’t really feel like I have a defined identity, or I don’t feel like I have a defined ego. I All of these things can be tied back a lot of times to this piece.

Human design opens us up to the possibilities for us, what our gifts are, where we might be held back, where we might be holding back. And it starts to illuminate a new way for us to look at ourselves with greater compassion, and with greater curiosity. And when we start to understand why some things happen, I was saying this in a group this week, I do think that understanding why, and it’s been my experience, that it does help people surrender more to what is.

And when we stop fighting ourselves, then things just get easier because so much of the resistance that comes up for people is us fighting the resistance that maybe is natural for us. That we’re just trying to run through the wall and we don’t see that there’s a door just around the corner. That’s the power of human design.

And I was teaching the

Unshakeable Human program, I did a Q& A for those people that were in that course, it’s a program that I did purely on human design, so none of the business stuff necessarily was in there, but this was about getting into alignment with your design.

That is available, by the way, if you just DM me Unshakeable Human, those two words on Instagram, we’ll send you the link for it if you’re interested in that. But the Unshakeable Human Program, I did a Q&A for these people. And this was something that came up over and over again.

Cause I taught some new modules for this round. And one of them was on this topic of the conscious side versus the unconscious side. And while I’m always fascinated with this stuff, it’s always interesting to me to see what people are lit up by when I teach this.

And people had their socks knocked off by this. They were just blown away by looking at their charts through this aspect. Through looking at it this way was a really eye opening thing for them. So, that’s what I wanna bring here. Because this can tell you everything that I was just talking about, maybe why you’re burned out, maybe why you’re feeling small, where you’re meant to play big, why some of this stuff, I know it to be true, but I don’t know why I can’t identify with it.

It doesn’t feel real to me. All of that can really be tied to this aspect. Which is conscious versus unconscious. So let me paint the picture here for you.

And if you don’t have your chart, please run one on our website. We give you an advanced chart. So we give you a lot of information that other charts will charge you for.

If you go to nicolelaino.com/chart, you can run it there. You can DM me the word chart on Instagram. I’m at Nicole Laino official, and we’ll send you the chart link right there. but run your chart. We also send you a little intro video as well to get you acquainted with your type if you run it from our site.

But when you look at the chart you’re going to see the body graph in the middle. And then on the right side, you’re going to see columns, usually it’s little squares. If you’re running it on our site, you’ll see squares running down the right side with numbers in them.

And then you’ll see squares running down the left side in a column with numbers in those. The right side is what we call the conscious or personality side of your design. This is what you identify with. And if you’re running that there and you see the color running down the side, it’ll be the color on the right side of the chart.

It’ll match with whatever gates are colored in on your chart. So if it’s green, you’ll notice that it’s the green lines on your chart. And if it’s purple, it’s purple lines on your chart for the other side. So there is some definition that is personality. That you identify with. That is more in alignment with how you see yourself. That’s the right side of the chart. That is going to be the stuff that when someone asks you about it and I tell you in a reading, you have this energy, you have these potential gifts, this probably shows up for you.

A lot of people are nodding their heads going, yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s me. I totally relate to that, I totally see that, that’s absolutely me. They identify with it. Now you go to the left side of the chart. That left side of the chart is actually what we call your unconscious design.

This is another calculation that we do. And this gives us unconscious, or the body side. This is the automatic parts of you. The energies that are just working without you necessarily doing anything. Now, We get mind and body together with these two pieces, but here’s the kicker Each side does not know the other one exists. So it’s not like internally your soul’s looking at the two sides and being like oh I’ve got gate 16 on the unconscious side. Maybe I’ll just talk to my unconscious design and get us to get on board together.

It doesn’t do that They don’t know they exist. So what that creates within us for some people, and everybody’s design is different, some people are going to be very defined on one side and maybe not defined at all on the other. Now, obviously there are gates defined, but they’re not going to have any centers.

We had this happen with quite a few people in the Unshakeable Human program, and they were just like, oh my god, my mind is blown by this whole thing. It explains so much why I feel so open. So some people have a very defined unconscious or body side, like myself. I have four channels in my design.

Three of those channels are unconscious design. They’re the left side of the chart. So I don’t actually identify with any of them. I don’t identify with being a manifesting generator because on my design side, if you take that away, if you just have my personality, I am an emotional generator and that’s it.

One channel. It’s all about the channel of mating. That’s the only thing that I identify with. So I identify with being emotional. I identify with being somebody who bonds with people. It’s how I went through most of my life, certainly up until the point of when I was in my 30s, where I was, really bonding with people and really trying to make connections.

That was my personality. But I had all this other stuff on the other side that I really couldn’t figure out how it all worked. If you have the design side that has more definition than the conscious side. If most of your centers are defined through the left side of the chart.

What you end up getting is a feeling that you know some things to be true about you, but you just can’t quite touch them. You can’t quite figure out how to use them. When I first read my chart and I saw that the channel of talent and the channel of surrender, which is all about transmitting a message, it wasn’t until I saw them on the chart that I started to identify with it, and I’ll talk a little bit about the nuance there.

I still didn’t feel like it was me, but I looked at those aspects of myself and I said, oh, I do know that to be true. I just don’t know how to use it. I don’t know how to access my talent. It doesn’t feel like it’s not a natural thing for me to do, but here’s the thing. It’s actually very natural for us to do, but the personality gets in the way.

Cause the personality says, I don’t really identify with it. And the mind gets in the way, and this is part of where mind comes in and starts to mess with the way that we operate. The inevitable next question is, what do we do about this? How do I bring both sides of my design together?

Because, truthfully, we have personality, we have design. We have conscious, we have unconscious. Those are two synonymous things. Conscious and unconscious. But we are not just these pieces. We are the quantum. This is where if you’ve heard quantum human design, I believe this is where she got that term from.

But the quantum version of you is both sides of these actually operating in harmony. Getting access to all of your potential and not just part, not just what you can identify with. Some people have a very defined personality and they’ve got talents and gifts on the design side that are going completely unused or slipping into shadow because you don’t know how to connect with them.

Some people have the opposite where they have no definition on one side of the chart or the other. So they have one side that’s doing all the work. I had a client yesterday, did a reading with her, and I pointed out, well, your entire definition is unconscious. So that might mean that you don’t identify with all of the definition in your chart.

And on your personality, you might feel like a reflector. You might feel more open than you are. Now, I want to be very clear here. There is some confusion because I have heard people talk about this, in programs, and in podcasts, and online, where some people start to say, your personality determines your strategy and authority.

That’s not true. Your strategy and authority is the quantum, and here’s why. It doesn’t mean that you’re a reflector. If you’re like my client is, where she’s a reflector on her personality side, it does not mean that she operates like a reflector. That’s not the game. The game is to operate as all of you to bring those silent sides up from the unconscious side and give them a voice.

And how do we do that? That’s where strategy and authority comes in. Strategy and authority is listening to our body, not our mind. Giving our body its say. Telling us what our connection is to our intuition, to what is correct for us. Not just what the personality thinks it is. So this is why people like me are always beating the strategy and authority horse to death.

Where we’re telling you, you gotta wait for a response if you’re a generator. You have to be following your invitations and really digging into your invitations and your splenic hits if you’re [splenic] projector. There’s a reason that we come back to that all the time.

And one reason for it. Is that all of the questions about, is this the conditioning of this center, I’m wondering if this is my open root, or if this is my shadow of my unconscious mercury, there’s so many questions that just put you back in your mind. The one thing that will always take you back to the truth, without having to understand anything, is strategy and authority.

That’s one reason. The second reason that strategy and authority is so crucial to living in alignment and why we see such shifts in ourselves is because we’re finally giving our intuition a voice. We’re bringing our personality, our mind, together with our unconscious, our body, the instinctual parts of us. What feel like sleeping gifts,

[sometimes] .

We are bringing them together and we are allowing them to be used out in the world. This is how you are a greater potential than when you are trying to do it on your own, through thinking about things and doing what you feel you identify with, or trying to change your identity constantly to try to up level yourself, when really everybody’s design is different, But really what you have to do is be able to look at your chart and say, what parts of me need to be brought to the forefront?

For me, it was how do I see this gift as something that truly is part of me and not try to engineer it, not be like, how do I use this? There’s some of exercising it. Sure. A lot of that is just recognition, understanding, and awareness of it and saying, no, this is me.

Even if I can’t always feel it. Even if I don’t know what to do with it, maybe I don’t need to do anything. What happens if I follow strategy and authority? Suddenly those gifts that you didn’t know how to use before start showing up in your life very naturally, because that’s what the design side does.

And this can work for both sides of the chart. It really depends on your chart.

If you really want to dive in deep on your chart, book a reading with me. You can just DM me reading on Instagram. I’m @NicoleLainoOfficial. We’ll send you the link for that. And I’m giving you a lot of links in this one, but there’s a few that apply here.

If you want to go deep into your human design on your own journey,

Unshakeable Human Program is for you. It’s a very in depth program. People really loved this.

If you need to run your chart, DM me chart on Instagram or go to nicolelaino.com/chart.

And if you want a reading, if you want to dive in and have me personally walk you through your chart and what is the most important things for you to focus on as an individual, then book a reading with me.

The readings are awesome. These really in depth dives and I pull out exactly what is important for you to know. It’s not a cookie cutter strategy. So book that by DMing me the word reading on Instagram and I’ll send you the link for that. Okay? I hope you enjoyed this. I hope that this inspired you to become the quantum you, and see your hidden potentials.

And where it’s not even necessarily that you’re holding yourself back, it’s just ,you’re potentially not allowing parts of you to shine. And no amount of effort could do it, it’s just a shift that we have to make. And I hope it inspired you to follow your strategy and authority more, and show you exactly why we do that and how powerful it can be.

So thank you so much for being here. I appreciate you as always. Thank you for making it all the way to the end of this episode with me. And remember, in order to have an unshakeable business, you must first become an unshakeable human. So thanks for letting us help you become unshakeable with human design, everyone.

We’ll see you next time.
