The Shadow in Business Using Human Design (BG5)

Analyzing a chart like this would be done in my Alpha One Leadership Calls and Career Success Code Power Sessions.  A brief synthesis of my approach, in addressing the shadow (not self), to somebody in this kind of situation would be something along the lines of:

“There is so much wisdom available here and as someone with so much potential wisdom you have this shadow that hangs over you. You can't sit still. It drives you crazy. And it gets in the way for you. You can't sit still & don’t enjoy being stuck in one spot.  This tends to massively impact your work, and even your relationship in business (and life).

You hold onto things that just don't make sense, and you know that. And you know that you don't know when enough is enough until it blows up in your face, and it does because you've experienced that through burnout cycles that you have lived all your life. And it's only then when it blows up, only then when you go through the shock and the initiation of all that perhaps you can take another track.

At this point you often find that it is too late, because all of that has cost you. It has cost your reputation to be seen as somebody that is so attached to something that they're unable to see that it's not right. And this is always going to get in the way of your career as long as you are jumping to conclusions & allowing your ego to drive your decisions.”

This person would have had it tough, as a 5th line & people being able to see that they continually hold on to things that aren’t good for them then blow up, especially as a Manifestor.  In the shadow (not self) this chart is the epitome of a bull in a China shop, running others over & willing to die on hills that aren’t even correct for them, even though it will FEEL very correct for them.  Then we have, buried in their root the fantasy  of being able to start things, blowing things up & starting over.  Yet, as a 5th line that reputation follows them.

And of course, one of the most important shadows in this person's life is their dependence on detail, on facts (62 bridge) instead of trusting their feelings. They would rather trust anybody else's facts instead of their feelings. And you can see that it is not an easy thing for this being to get in touch with their feelings. It isn’t, not at all.  It is unconscious AND disconnected from their throat.  The ego is going to want to take over, and after having lived an entire life like this it will feel like “This is just what I think” (Again, shadow of 62).

And, as that unconscious 1st line, they can become totally obsessed with fact-finding, that fact-finding is going to be the answer for them & give them the right direction.

Why I am obsessed with combining Human Design (BG5) & Positive Psychology is helping someone move out from under that shadow & retrieve the gift from it, the wisdom from it.  It isn’t only the potential for scaling their business but the liberation that happens when they finally live their true authentic self which is, in my opinion, a critical aspect to living a fulfilling life of flow & freedom.

This being is not only going to feel like the world was lifted off their shoulder but finally be able to be the leader they were designed to be while making the impact they are meant to make.

Various BG5 sessions are now available for individuals, teams, & small businesses (3-5 staff).
