Practical Awakening - Human Design & Spirituality

In this episode I’m joined by Allyson, a 5/1 emotional Projector, to discuss the 4 Transformations, more often called the “Variables”. We get pretty passionate in this episode about “shiny object syndrome” of the variables and the “pop HD” content you can find on social media, if you want to skip our rant (but I suggest you don’t) you can skip to 27:08.We go on to discuss the variable arrows at the color level and talk through the 4 transformations of determination, environment (the independent variables), & view and motivation (the dependent variables). Allyson shares what the colour variables are and what they are not! We discuss the popular “manifestation arrow” and if it even exists! Allyson shares her incredible 1st line knowledge of how the color variable arrows can change your life and what you need to ensure you have done first before you dive into variables!Allyson shares practical and tangible examples of how the variables and their transference show up in real life.Throughout this episode I mention a course I took (& paid in full) with Allyson Forseth in 2022. “HD is color” is enrolling RIGHT NOW and I couldn’t recommend it more.
