As a Soul Artist, your work in the world is to create. 
Not just in artistic mediums, you are here to create through vision–what does heaven on earth look like to YOU?
You might be very clear about this answer…or not yet. Either way, you are a creator in every thought and every action and you have the potential to create something beautiful and meaningful in this lifetime.  

Human Design is a system that shows you your unique potential. It is a blueprint of your soul’s gifts, challenges and opportunities. No chart is identical. As a soul in human form your life is filled with influences that can distract you from your highest potential–the truth of who you are.  Our lives are filled with moments that create stories about who we are and what is possible.  ​

As a Soul Artist, it is essential to be able to differentiate the false stories from our deepest truths. Your Human Design chart is a tool that can guide you back into alignment with the power, gifts and purpose that you came here to fulfill.  

Your Human Design chart is based on your birth date, time and location and it reveals the cosmic imprint on your incarnation.  
As a hybrid system, Human Design utilizes wisdom from the ancient esoteric systems of Astrology, the Hindu Chakras, the Kabbalah Tree of Life and the Chinese I’Ching.  It also incorporates the modern sciences of Quantum Physics and Genetics. Human Design is a map of how you uniquely interface with the world on an energetic level and provides information on how to most effectively use your energy and gifts to live out your highest potential as a creative force for love. For Soul Artists, Human Design can unlock aspects of your creative power that have been forgotten or hidden by the experience of being a soul incarnate into human form.  

I am honored to be bringing Human Design to the Soul Artist community. Join me for this exciting opportunity to deepen your understanding and appreciation of your Self. You will discover deeper connection with others. You will be guided to access and offer your unique purpose to the world.  Create and celebrate the gifts of your divine expression and honor the truth of who you really are.

Do You Feel Free? I mean really, truly FREE?
Try these Rebel Rules to discover unshakable creative freedom.
Or don’t. 
​
I am kind-of a rebel. For as long as I can remember, I have questioned authority and squirmed from the grasp of limiting “realities” to find my own way. Yesterday, one of my soul sisters reminded me: “Shakti, you are a dreamer."

I used to take offense to statements like that...​

​I grew up believing that to be a “dreamer” was a bad thing. That to get things done (and stay out of trouble) I had to be grounded like 💯. 
…but, then again, I am kind-of a rebel. After much experimentation (think hallucinogens, hitch-hiking, and homeless world travel…) I have learned to keep one foot solidly placed on the soils of the human experience, while the other foot hovers in infinite potential. I’m smiling as I realize that this image is the stance of Shiva’s dance.  ​

That is one reason I dig this image so much: It epitomizes the crossroads between manifesting and liberating power. It reminds me that creativity and freedom go together like, well, like Shiva/Shakti. 
I’m still learning how to freely express all the things that my heart is constantly creating; but these days I feel more balanced than ever: hovering in the grace of effort and surrender. 
To shake off limitation, I observe a few rebel rules on the daily. Here they are for you, just in case you need them. If not, no big deal.  

1. Set your expectation dial to 100%, your attachment dial to 0%. 
THIS IS KEY. Every day, when you wake up, expect that the day will greet you with unlimited blessings…that the entire universe is conspiring for your greatest good…that you will be propelled forward by abundant gratitude and absolute joy…and you will make all your dreams come true. 
Also, have 0 attachment to this. 
So that when shit happens (and it will, because it’s another day on planet Earth) you will remain completely open to the next amazing miracle. 
Attachment to outcomes is not sustainable. To stay in your full power, you must show up fully (every moment) just to let go completely (every moment). This is the dance of true freedom. 

2. Repeat after me: “I care, but I don’t mind.” 
It has taken me a long time to recognize the difference between caring for others and running myself into the ground trying to make everyone else happy. Here’s the truth: creative power is realized when you focus on service. Once you identify the people who benefit from your gifts, it sets the whole creative exchange in motion. HOWEVER! While I deeply desire to connect with all my fellow Earthlings, I really don’t mind when I don't. This is just another way of saying “I am not attached to the outcomes,” but it directly aims at the limiting story of “seeking approval.” Shake that right off. 
​
3. Let go ‘the baggage. 
We are all carrying unnecessary limitations like: 
“You are your ideas.” 
“You only get one shot, so don’t mess it up!” 
“Stay in your lane.” 
and the overall warning: “You can’t do that.” 
The most liberating rebel rule is to GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION. Don’t wait for other people to give it to you (because they can’t give you what they don’t have.) 

4. Give yourself permission to 

• experiment, 
• get messy, 
• try on someone else’s idea, 
• then do it differently, 
• then change your mind,
• all while making beautiful, informative; and therefore, powerful mistakes. 

…Oh! and while you’re at it, give everyone else permission to be creative rebels too! Just in case they need that (and if not, no big deal.) ​
