THE BODY KEYS: ORIGINS + PRINCIPLES

 


When the Body Keys first began to reveal themselves to me, they came as a complete surprise. I wasn’t looking for them. In fact, my attention was focused elsewhere entirely. I like to say that I was “minding my own business.”

This is significant because the Body Keys address questions that have been with me for most of my adult life. It is well worth noting that, in the end, they arrived only after I had relaxed enough to (finally) allow them to.

Interestingly, the Body Keys themselves are not so much a revelation of something-new as they are a quiet confirmation of things that I have basically always somehow known on a more practical, embodied level.

This, too, is significant, since all of life’s greatest answers seem to come to us in just this way: by surprise, as something simple + familiar (even obvious) - as pure extensions of our humanness.

Because of this, I cannot take full credit for the Body Keys. They are not a testament to personal intelligence; they created themselves (by some stroke of luck or benevolence) through me.

They came to me as a gift, and it is in that same spirit of humility + surprise that I am choosing to share them now, with you.

In this video, I intend to offer a peek into three primary systems that have contributed to the creation of these Body Keys: the Human Design System, the Gene Keys, and Wayfinding (a practice of my own design).

Like each of these three systems, the Body Keys is a synthesis: it stands on the shoulders of previous insights + greater wisdom. It hopes to reach beyond them by grounding them in practicality + simple terms.

Most of all, the Body Keys seeks to refine + soften our relationship to those (inevitable) moments of human stuckness in a language that is easy to understand + make real use of.


CONTINUED…

Pausing there, I'd like to invite you to stay tuned for more, since I intend to announce the official details of my offer very soon + hope to continue exploring the Body Keys in videos just like this one after that.
