Is it time to take the coat off?
My coat protects me from the cold, from the rain… I don’t just have my coat… I have other layers too… sometimes even my wellies.
But what if I’m not cold… what if it’s not raining…
What if I wore them indoors on a summers day. Is that still helping me… or is it doing me more harm than good?
I’m overheating… I keep whacking things with the brolly… my layers of protection are now working against me, not for me.
As we go through life we pick up these layers of protection, layers of conditioning.
They served a purpose at the time and kept us safe.
But what happens if we don’t need them anymore, what happens when they are holding us back?
Do we even realise we still have the coat on?
What if we aren’t even aware when we are in the wrong outfit?
This is a somewhat simplistic analogy… unfortunately the reality when it comes to ideas, beliefs and conditioning isn’t as simple as just taking the coat off.
First you have to understand what’s going on, and then start to work through it.
Awareness is the first stage
And for me Human Design helped give me insights into that first stage.
It helped me understand where I may be failing to put the right things on
And where I might need to take them off again.
I still needed to do the work, to implement and make changes. But I at least knew where to start.
How about you… does this analogy make sense to you?
Where do you sit with your layers of protection?
