Myth busting: “Turn on or excitement always means you’re a YES”

Here’s one of the most harmful misconceptions I see in the trending conversation around embodiment: “Turn on or excitement always means you’re a YES”

This is a helpful teaching for people who want to take advantage of your high to sell you things and then send you deeper into a pattern of chasing after highs… But from a purely mechanical perspective, this is incorrect. It’s not ‘wrong’... it just isn’t what will consistently bring you your signature (Peace for Manifestors, Satisfaction for Generators, Surprise for Reflectors or Success for Projectors). It’s simply the inescapable energetic laws of being in a human body.

I will elaborate and provide examples:

Let’s say you have Emotional Authority. You make your best decisions by riding out your wave, feeling into things, and waiting for emotional clarity. You know the decision has been made in your body when there is no (or minimal) emotional charge anymore. If you are making decisions based on your highest high wave, you are making impulsive emotional decisions which is precisely what has been getting in the way of your sustainable pleasure and creating unnecessary chaos your entire life.

Perhaps you have Sacral Authority. You make decisions based on your sacral (gut) response… which is distinctly different from what we sometimes identify as turn-on. You can feel A LOT of excitement in your body, but on a more subtle level your sacral is whispering “no”. With an open emotional center, you may be amplifying somebody else’s passion and thinking it’s yours.

Maybe you’re Splenic, you’re designed to trust your intuition in each moment. Perhaps you also have an open head center, meaning you are easily inspired by things that don’t actually matter to you. Don’t confuse the sensation of inspiration for your intuitive ‘yes’. Maybe you also have an open ego, which means you can get hooked on the sensation of validation. Your ego high is not your ‘yes’.

This is what experimenting with embodying your design actually looks like- learning to differentiate between the different sensations in your body, so that you can detect what’s yours and what isn’t. What is your true YES, versus what is your conditioning. What is your no, versus what is resistance.
