Energy Weaving with the Wandering Shaman: Quantum Human Design & Shamanic Wisdom - March 13, 2025 - The Sun Enters the Gate of Exploration/The Earth Enters the Gate of Impact

Soooo….what do you do when you’re bored?  We are just diving right in here on March 13, 2025.  Do you eat when you’re bored?  Shop?  Doom scroll on social media?  Drink?  Veg out on Netflix?  Do something spontaneous that you later regret?  What’s your MO when you’re bored?  The sun is in Gate 36 this week, the Gate of Exploration, but is sometimes referred to as the gate of boredom.  So here we are jumping right into the deep end.  How does boredom affect you?  This can be a dangerous energy for some of us, in the sense that many of us are not meant to be spontaneous.  The overall energy of our chart encourages us to be certain about our actions and make sure they are in alignment with the right timing.  Many of us have numerous indications that it is in our best interest to wait for “right timing” before we jump into anything major.  So if we do spontaneous things when we are bored (ie:  get on Amazon and spend money that we don’t have, binge eat a ton of junk food, gossip, or start drama on social media, etc.) we may live to regret those decisions when the bored feeling leaves us. The challenge of this energy this week is to become aware of when that bored feeling hits and to not let it cause you to jump into some sort of chaos.  

We will talk about that more in a minute.  If you are new to this podcast, don’t worry about what you may have missed; you can just jump in where we are.  You are welcome to go back and listen to (or read) past episodes, but it’s not necessary.  I do recommend, however, that if you are new to human design and/or shamanism, you go back and listen to (or read) episode 1 of this podcast.  I give a brief introduction to both concepts there, with a lot of the "lingo" explained.

So…more on this Gate of Exploration.  Another challenge that this energy holds has to do with learning to stick with something long enough in order to become masterful at it, as opposed to jumping from opportunity to opportunity without waiting for the previous opportunities to play out.  You may have gotten caught up in this energy if you consider yourself a “jack of all trades, master of none.”  If you find yourself caught up in a lot of chaos in your life, maybe ask yourself what do you do when you’re bored.  So there’s the first of our contemplation questions this week:

• What do you do when you feel bored?

• How does boredom impact your life?

• What can you do to keep yourself aligned even when you are bored?

• This is yet another emotional gate, so what do you do to maintain and sustain emotional alignment?

Maybe the energy that the earth is highlighting will give us some ideas of what we can do to help those situations.  But first, I just have a quick announcement.  I will be back in Traverse City, Michigan at Higher Self Bookstore doing full and mini Quantum Human Design readings on March 22 and 23.  So if you are in that area and would like to learn more about your personal energetic blueprint, please book a session with me, or just show up with your birth information (date, time and place).  If you would like a full reading, you do need to book in advance so that I have time to write up the 5-7 page report that goes along with your hour-long reading.  You can just walk in for a mini-reading however.  The link to Higher Self Bookstore is https://www.higherselfbookstore.com/ so you can check that out if you’d like.  

The earth is in Gate 6 this week, the Gate of Impact.  Just the name of that gate seems to carry with it some potent power.  This is yet another emotional Gate and another gate about timing.  You have the power to make quite an impact on your surroundings, the people in your life and even the world, IF you are in emotional alignment and acting in accordance to Divine Timing.  You all are going to be sick of hearing me repeat those words week after week.  But I think many of us have experienced that when things are “meant to be,” they are “easy.”  Things just seem to flow and they are not a struggle.  When the timing is NOT right and things are out of alignment, or we’re trying to force things to happen, it IS a struggle and we seem to hit roadblock after roadblock.  This energy in Gate 6 again calls us to trust in Divine timing and to be aware of our emotional energies because when we speak from an emotionally aligned place and when the timing is right, our words have a strong impact and the potential to greatly influence and affect others who are ready to hear them.  Now the energy of this gate is meant to keep us grounded this week and to help us ground the energy brought by the sun in Gate 36.  So what are some practical applications we can introduce into our daily routine in order to maintain emotional alignment and trust Divine timing?  Let’s make that our next contemplation question.

• What things can you do to improve and maintain your emotional alignment and deepen your trust in Divine Timing?

• What do you need to do to prepare yourself to be seen and have influence?

• How do you feel about lack?  How do you feel about abundance?  What can you do to have more feelings of abundance in your life?

Let’s see if our Shamanic Oracle card has any further advice for us.  I bought a new Oracle deck and was kind of nudged to use that one this week.  It is the Mystical Shaman Oracle deck by Alberto Villoldo, Colette Baron-Reid and Marcela Lobos.  The link will be in the show notes and the picture will be on FB and Instagram.  I randomly drew the Luminous Warrior card, and here’s what it has to say:

The Luminous Warrior has no enemies in this world or the next.  He is impeccable in word and deed.  He focuses on his light rather than on what hides in the dark.  Since he casts no shadow, he is as radiant as the sun and can transform his most terrible enemy into his ally.  His power comes not from the sword but from speaking his truth at all costs.

The Luminous Warrior reminds you it is important to focus on your power, wisdom, and beauty.  Do not be seduced by what seems wrong with you or with the world.  Remember that intention follows attention, so focus on your positive traits; feed your light with more light, until you feel truly empowered.  Then there will be little need for action, as you resolve all situations from within.  

Are you being tempted by your emotions to follow your lower instincts?  Are you being invited to enter into a quarrel with someone?  Put your sword away; this is not the time for battle.  Your enemy is not who you think it is.  Do not act from a place of anger that will damage your relationships and hurt the ones you care for.  Find the truth hiding in your heart that will affirm your instinct for peace rather than for war.  

So I think there are a few parallels here, with that card and the energy and the contemplations earlier, about how can we improve and maintain our emotional alignment - how can we prepare ourselves to be seen. For some reason that question is really standing out to me. I feel like that needs to be the focus for this week - preparing yourself to be seen and have influence - and that's probably not something that is going to get resolved in the next 6 days before the energy shifts, but it's something to get started on. So what jumped out to me in the Luminous Warrior card was "he is impeccable in word and deed." I think practicing being impeccable in your word and deed - having high, high, high standards for yourself, will help to bring you into emotional alignment, to keep you in emotional alignment, and prepare you to be seen, and to have an influence in this world.

The other part that really stood out to me was focusing on the light. Focusing on the light and feeding the light with more light, until you feel truly empowered. Intention follows attention, so as it says, focus on your positive traits. Feed your light with more light. Not an easy task. One that takes a lot of practice. But again, it will help us to be seen in the world, following our visions, and it will help us stay in alignment. And those two questions that were asked - Are you being tempted by your emotions to follow your lower instincts? - I feel like that can happen when we're bored. We get bored, so we slip into those lower vibrational activities - binge eating, shopping, mindlessly scrolling, etc., etc. And also, the next question was - Are you being invited to enter a quarrel with someone? How often do we get on Facebook and start something with someone or put out a post that we know is going to stir up some controversy or get people riled up? It may be because we're bored. So staying away from those lower vibrational activities can definitely help keep us in the light, help keep us focused on the positive, help keep us in alignment, and prepare us to be seen for the powerful human beings that we are.

So with that, I will leave you here. That gives you a lot to look at and contemplate this week.

I’ll be back on March 19th when the sun is in Gate 25 - the Gate of Spirit and the Earth is in Gate 46, the Gate of Embodiment.  Until then, take good care and we’ll see you soon.
