HOW TO DO YOUR SHADOW ALCHEMY WITH THE GENE KEYS
How to do your Shadow Alchemy with the Gene Keys.
You can use your Human Design chart or your Gene Keys profile and put all your numbers in chronological following and then work through your Gene keys or Human Design gates with all the Shadows - Gifts - Siddhis. here is the example of my Human Design and then all my gates or Gene Keys listed below:
Gene Key 1
Entropy – Freshness – Beauty
“To launch your life out of the cinders, to reach for the sky, to burn with love for the new. This is the 1st Gift of all – the very ground of human Genius.”
Gene Key 9
Inertia – Determination – Invincibility
“The Dilemma of this Gene Key is Perspective. If we’re looking up at the whole mountain, we’ll feel overwhelmed. If we decide just to look down at our feet, we’ll be captivated. The Taming Power of the Small teaches us to focus on small changes, rather than attempting great things.”
Gene Key 10
Self Obsession – Naturalness – Being
“The more spiritual we become, the more achingly serious we become, and the more we think we know. We have to admit at a certain point, however, that we know nothing, absolutely nothing.”
Gene Key 11
Obscurity – Idealism – Light
“If we have the 11th Gift, or are contemplating it, we can use the beautiful richness of the right brain visions and archetypes in our life to launch it onto a higher level. That is our greatest Gift – to catch others on fire with the Light that burns in our heart. Our Gift is our heart, our love, our devotion.”
Gene Key 15
Dullness – Magnetism – Florescence
“The ultimate modesty is to allow another to believe we’re weak or flawed, just as a means of loving them. This is a deeper meaning of the word Florescence. It means to use any and all behaviour to create illumination.”
Gene Key 19
Co-dependence – Sensitivity – Sacrifice
“We all do and say things that hurt others, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Sensitivity is an art we all need to learn. When we’ve learned it, we feel so strong, so connected to life, but we also feel so permeable and soft.”
Gene Key 24
Addiction – Invention – Silence
“Whether we feel our suffering as grief, numbness, boredom, angst, frustration, loneliness, or any other deeply uncomfortable state, we like to avoid it, so we find patterns of behaviour that temporarily suspend the discomfort.”
Gene Key 28
Purposelessness – Totality – Immortality
“It’s a great mystical chestnut, this question of the purpose of one’s life. We all, sooner or later, want to know what our purpose is. There are so many people out there selling life purpose! It may appear to an outsider that the Gene Keys and the Prime Gifts are all about Purpose, since they use that language. Yet anyone who’s moving deeper inside these teachings will tell us that wanting to know the purpose of our life is simply a phase.”
Gene Key 29
Half-Heartedness – Commitment – Devotion
“This Gene Key has a certain genius, and it’s a funny kind of genius. It’s about making luck. It’s true. When we aren’t drawn into emotional or desire decisions, then we create the conditions for good fortune.”
Gene key 33
Forgetting – Mindfulness – Revelation
“This Gift can turn the whole of our life into a blaze of presence and peacefulness. Retreat does not have to be something we do after we’ve been in action. The retreat can be in the action itself. That is a Gift from heaven.”
Gene Key 34
Force - Strength - Majesty
"The difference between the Shadow and the Gift is summed up in one of the sweetest pieces of wisdom ever uttered by any human being. This one is from a Chinese sage, Chuang Tzu, obviously an old friend of Yoda.
Take these words in deeply - Easy is Right. Wow, what do you think of that?"
Gene Key 37
Weakness - Equality - Tenderness
"When we look at the world, it doesn't seem that fair. It doesn't seem as though we're equal. Yet the Gene Keys are all about genius. This is where we're equal.
We're equal to the task we're given, but only if we don't cave in."
Gene Key 44
Interference – Teamwork – Synarchy
“Synarchy means we all lead together! It doesn’t mean that we’re all the same. Not at all. It means that our uniqueness has a place within the orchestra, and instead of just playing a nice tune and being oblivious to all those around us, we begin to play in harmony with everyone.”
Gene Key 45
Dominance – Synergy – Communion
“Synergy is a word we often apply to a group dynamic that’s functioning smoothly, that’s buzzing and creative. Once we realise that we no longer need to compete with each other to survive, the next stage is figuring out how to work together. This is a great challenge, and the 45th Gene Key is adept at this.”
Gene Key 50
Corruption – Equilibrium – Harmony
“Everything that happens to us is for our higher benefit. We’re here to learn to live with Equanimity. Even shock has the capacity to lift us with Grace to another level of consciousness. As our equanimity, our Equilibrium becomes truly stable, we become unshakeable. We become truly peaceful. Our life opens up to a higher reality – a Harmony that lies hidden from view, but that’s communicated continuously to us from every cell within our DNA. As this Harmony expands inside us, we begin to function through our higher bodies.”
Gene Key 52
Stress – Restraint – Stillness
“This Gift has a huge impact on the emotional body. It communicates and exudes calmness throughout the aura. There have always been people in the world who remain completely unflustered by external crises – such as emotional turmoil or human conflict and war. There have always been such people among us, and these are the people of the 52nd Gift.”
Gene Key 54
Greed – Aspiration – Ascension
“Our egotism is not a bad thing. We have to see it for what it is. It’s simply fuel. As fuel it has its use, but without awareness we don’t refine that fuel, so we don’t leave the trap of our urge to find fulfilment. The bottom line is that ego isn’t the enemy. It’s the booster rocket that one day will launch us into inner space.”
Gene Key 55
Victimisation – Freedom – Freedom
“We can’t chase Freedom. We can’t run out and sell everything, and drop our dreams and become a monk or hermit drifting about. We have no chance of dropping our dreams. We have to be so patient. Freedom will come on its own, without our doing anything. We have to live as a human, with all the trappings and trimmings, and from within that our Freedom will arise.”
Gene Key 58
Dissatisfaction – Vitality – Bliss
“The ancients named this Gene Key, this Hexagram – The Joyous. But how can we have joy without sadness. Loss is a part of human life. We all lose those we love. How we deal with loss is a deep, deep part of our learning within this Gene Key.”
