How to have Good Heart Health with Shadow Work

A soul client here has inspired me on this topic to discuss about high blood pressure and heart health. So if you have any health issues, please do drop me an email to inquire because it is going to help me gather more information so that I can dive deeper using the various tools, resources and knowledge to go directly into the root cause that can help you to address those issues.

Why do some people have heart problems including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, breathing problems etc? Our physical health has a direct connection with our emotional well-being. How balanced do we feel? Our diet is just one aspect that influenced our health. Our emotions play a major part influencing our physical and emotional health.

I realize a lot of people with defined heart center (in Human Design term) tend to develop heart issues or relating to high blood pressure. This is based on my study on people with known heart issues using Human Design.

My father had a defined heart center with gate 21 shadow frequency of Control. He had the tendency to want to control and fix things. He started with having diabetes followed by heart disease and then deteriorate into other health complications. My mother has a defined heart center with gate 40 shadow frequency of Exhaustion. She might have other gates as I don't have her exact birth time and birth place which can change her Human Design chart too. My Mother-in-law has defined heart center with gate 40 and she is known to have OCD, working herself to exhaustion to clean the house. They all have heart issues. My brothers and I have undefined heart centers and I do not think we have heart issues, at least for now.

So it seems that those with Defined Heart Center tend to develop heart issues. Defined Heart Center simply means having a consistent energy of will power and ego.

There are 4 gates in the Heart Center in the Human Design bodygraph.

• Gate 21

• Gate 51

• Gate 26

• Gate 40

Look at the shadow frequencies of the activated gates in the Heart Center.

The shadow of gate 40 is one the most deep-seated causes of cancerous diseases on our planet - Richard Rudd

The spiritual reason for high blood pressure is that these people tend to be very sensitive to the needs of others and put too much pressure onto themselves to make others happy; tendency to be people-pleasers without setting firm boundaries. Please take care of yourself first before you burn out. Fill your cup first before pouring your hearts out.

Shadow Work on the Activated Gates in the Heart Center:

1. Identify your shadow frequencies of the activated gate/s in your heart center.

2. Work on these shadows by contemplation. You can sit in meditation or simply allow your mind to wander. Ponder upon the key word of the shadow.

For example, exhaustion for gate 40. Allow your thoughts to linger around the word exhaustion. Perhaps wondering how you have exhausted yourself or overextended yourself.

Later, you can also explore the repressed and reactive expression of gate 40 that is lack of firm boundaries and contempt for people.

3. Allow any thoughts and emotions to arise during the process of contemplation.

4. Observe and be aware of any sensation, feelings and bodily reactions as you contemplate in the entire process.
