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 & use this part of the Gene Keys website to download and read the Shadow - Gift - Siddhi of each of your gates/ keys:
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.”
To transcend shadow entropy—the inner psychic stagnation, resistance to transformation, or unconscious descent into lower vibrational patterns—requires a deeply integrated, step-by-step shadow alchemy process that synthesizes:
-The Gene Keys (shadow, gift, siddhi)
-Map of Consciousness (Hawkins)
-Subconscious reprogramming
-Emotional release & somatic bodywork
Shadow work (integration, ownership, alchemy)
Here’s a step-by-step synthesis to transcend shadow entropy into vitality, coherence, and higher purpose:
🌑 1. Identify the Shadow Pattern (Entropy)
Tools: Gene Keys, Shadow Work
-Begin with contemplation of Gene Key 1 (Shadow: Entropy → Gift: Freshness → Siddhi: Beauty). Shadow Entropy manifests as creative suppression, inner dullness, numbness, or apathy.
-Journal inner signs of entropy: Where are you stuck, lifeless, uninspired, disconnected from your Source or vision?
“Entropy is not the end, but the chrysalis.”Gene Key 1
🧠 2. Map It in Consciousness
Tools: Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness
-Locate the vibration of your shadow state: entropy often calibrates around Apathy (50) or Grief (75).
-Notice where your core state lies (do you feel victimized, resigned, heavy, or hopeless?).
-Set an intention to rise to Courage (200) and above.
💡 3. Uncover Subconscious Beliefs & Contracts
Tools: Subconscious Reprogramming
-Use theta journaling, muscle testing, or inner inquiry:
“What unconscious belief keeps me from moving forward?”
“What do I gain by staying in entropy?”
-Common beliefs tied to entropy:
-“I don’t deserve to shine.”
-“If I express myself, I’ll be rejected.”
-“There’s no point.”
-Clear contracts like: “I agree to remain stuck so I won’t outshine others.” Release & reframe.
😢 4. Somatic & Emotional Release
Tools: Emotional Release Bodywork
-Entropy is held in the body as freeze/dormancy.
-Engage in practices that melt and stir the frozen energies:
-Shake therapy, breathwork, tremoring (TRE), vocal release
-Biodynamic craniosacral, deep tissue, trauma release
-Emotional processing sessions: cry, rage, shake, scream, moan—whatever your body needs to release density
“Shadow is stuck energy. Emotion is energy in motion.”
🔥 5. Activate the Gift (Freshness)
Tools: Gene Keys Contemplation, Creative Flow
-Practice daily contemplation of your shadow → gift transition (Entropy → Freshness).
-Ask: “What brings me aliveness?” “Where can I be creatively messy, spontaneous, raw?”
-Make space for:
-Spontaneous expression (dance, art, writing)
-Nature immersion
-Silence & solitude
-The gift of freshness comes from surrendering to the creative unknown.
💎 6. Embody New Frequencies
Tools: Map of Consciousness + Integration
Act from your new state, even in small ways. Shift into frequencies of Willingness (310), Acceptance (350), and Love (500).
-Speak truth.
-Share beauty.
-Follow impulses that carry the signature of life, joy, and expansion.
“Beauty arises when you risk your authentic self.”
🌟 7. Anchor Siddhi States through Presence
Tools: Shadow Alchemy, Deep Presence
-The Siddhi of Entropy is Beauty—the pure radiance of consciousness expressing itself without resistance.
-This is beyond doing—it’s being.
-Practice stillness, sacred presence, mystical attunement. Let life move through you.
-Contemplate beauty not as aesthetic but as a state of perceiving the divine in all things.
🧬 Recap: Alchemical Process to Transcend Shadow Entropy
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.”
To transcend the shadow of inertia—that state of inner stagnation, resistance to change, or lack of movement—requires a synthesized alchemical approach involving shadow alchemy, the Gene Keys, the Map of Consciousness, subconscious reprogramming, emotional release bodywork, and shadow work. Below is a step-by-step integrated process:
🌀 1. Identify the Inertia (Shadow Awareness)
Shadow Alchemy & Gene Keys
-Gene Key 9 is often linked with inertia:
-Shadow: Inertia
-Gift: Determination
-Siddhi: Invincibility
-Ask: Where am I stuck in patterns of avoidance, procrastination, or resistance
-Journal or reflect on areas of life that feel heavy, repetitive, or uninspired.
🔎 Shadow Traits of Inertia:
-Avoidance
-Procrastination
-Dullness
-Mechanical living
-Energy collapse
-Repeating old unconscious cycles
🔍 2. Locate the Frequency Level (Map of Consciousness)
-Inertia often calibrates around Apathy (50), Grief (75), or Fear (100) on Hawkins’ Map.
-Ask yourself:
What emotional tone accompanies my inertia? Is it hopelessness (apathy)? Fear of change? Shame?
💡 Goal: Shift from low-frequency states to Willingness (310) and beyond.
🧠 3. Subconscious Reprogramming: Identify and Release Hidden Beliefs
-Inertia is often tied to hidden subconscious beliefs like:
-“It’s not safe to change.”
-“I always fail, so why try?”
-“I need to be perfect before I act.”
-“It’s easier to stay where I am.”
Steps:
-Use Theta healing, hypnosis, or affirmation reconditioning to shift beliefs.
-Use self-inquiry or techniques like The Work (Byron Katie):
-Is it true? Who would I be without this belief?
💠 4. Shadow Integration Process (Inner Alchemy)
-Name the emotional charge linked to inertia—fear, shame, doubt, etc.
-Dialogue with the part of you that feels stuck:
-Ask: What are you protecting me from? What do you need to feel safe to move?
🔄 Transmutation:
-Inertia is blocked movement. When seen and embraced, it turns into determination.
-Use loving presence, compassion, and awareness to meet the part of you that has frozen.
🌀 5. Emotional Release Bodywork (Somatic Unfreezing)
-Inertia lives in the nervous system and body tissues as suppressed life force.
-Techniques:
-TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)
-Shake therapy, bioenergetic breathing
-Spinal undulation, voice release
-Somatic experiencing: Feel where inertia lives in your body. Name the sensation. Stay with it lovingly.
🗝️ Allow trembling, movement, breath—this unlocks trapped energy.
🧬 6. Align with the Gift Frequency (Gene Key Activation)
-Gift of Gene Key 9 = Determination
Determination is not pushing—it’s focused momentum from within.
Practices:
-Micro-actions: Move energy with small, focused daily acts.
-Set clear, soul-aligned intentions.
-Use presence and breath to ground action in the now.
🛤️ The Shadow says: “It’s too much.”
🌟 The Gift says: “One small step at a time.”
🧘 7. Sustain Momentum (Daily Consciousness Elevation)
-Practices to hold frequency:
-Meditation: Cultivate presence, stillness.
-Gratitude journaling: Shift from scarcity to abundance.
-Movement: Dance, yoga, nature walks to flow energy.
-Affirmations: “I am safe to move forward. I am aligned with life’s momentum.”
🔑 8. Contract Clearing & Soul Agreements
-Inertia may be tied to soul-level contracts (e.g., “I must stay small to protect others”).
-Use tools like:
-Intuitive contract clearing
-Akashic work
-Energetic cord cutting and reclamation
☀️ Speak:
“I now release any contracts, agreements, or programs that bind me to stagnation or disempowerment. I choose flow, trust & movement.”
🕊️ 9. Compassion and Patience (Heart-Centered Integration)
-Inertia breaks not with force, but with inner love and gentle witnessing.
-The shadow melts in the warmth of conscious presence.
🧡 Ask daily:
How can I love the part of me that feels afraid to move?
🌱 10. Integration Ritual / Anchor the Shift
-Create a ritual to honor your choice to move:
-Light a candle for your new path.
-Write a letter to your past self.
-Plant a seed or bury a symbol of old identity.
-Dance to a song that embodies breakthrough.
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.”
Transcending shadow self-obsession—which often appears as egoic fixation on one’s image, importance, wounds, or superiority/inferiority—requires a deep multidimensional integration of inner alchemical tools. Here’s a step-by-step process using shadow alchemy, the Gene Keys, Map of Consciousness, subconscious reprogramming, Akashic work, emotional release bodywork, and shadow work:
🌑 1. Awareness & Acknowledgment (Initiation of Alchemy)
“What am I really obsessing over?
-Shadow Alchemy: Recognize self-obsession as a protective strategy, not your true self.
-Gene Keys: Identify the relevant shadow frequency in your profile (e.g., Vanity – Gene Key 20; Arrogance – 31; Intolerance – 4).
-Map of Consciousness: Acknowledge where you calibrate (e.g., Pride, Fear, Desire – common roots of self-obsession).
-Akashic Work: Ask your Akashic Records or guides: “Where did this self-obsession originate? Which soul wound is active?”
-Practice: Journal the origin points, emotional triggers, and patterns.
🔥 2. Emotional Integration & Body Awareness (Descent into the Body)
“Where is this obsession living in my body?”
-Emotional Release Bodywork: Locate where the ego tension is held (solar plexus, jaw, heart). Somatic breathwork, shaking, or deep tissue bodywork can release this.
-Shadow Work: Let suppressed feelings (shame, unworthiness, narcissistic wounds) surface without judgment.
-Practice: Use conscious breath, cathartic sound, or safe emotional release to discharge the stored intensity.
🧬 3. Subconscious Reprogramming (Rewiring Identity)
“What beliefs and contracts are feeding this shadow?”
-Subconscious Reprogramming: Identify and release beliefs like:
-“I must prove my worth.”
-“I am only lovable if I am exceptional.”
-“Being seen is being safe.”
-Replace with truth-based affirmations aligned with essence:
“I am inherently valuable.”
“I trust my presence is enough.”
-Practice: Use Theta state, EFT, or hypnosis to install the new beliefs.
🌀 4. Gene Keys Contemplation (From Shadow to Gift)
“What is the higher gift concealed within this obsession?”
-Use contemplation, not force. E.g., from Vanity (20) to Naturalness, or Arrogance (31) to Leadership.
-Recognize the Gift as a natural expression once the obsession is released.
-Practice daily presence with your key shadows, allowing the frequency to rise as awareness stabilizes.
🌟 5. Soul Retrieval & Akashic Clearing (Restoring Wholeness)
“What soul fragments or karmic imprints are still unresolved?”
-Akashic Records: Clear karmic contracts of needing to be worshipped, admired, or needed to survive.
-Invite the return of lost aspects of self hidden behind image, ego, or identity addiction.
-Practice: Guided soul retrieval or channeling from the Records to restore lost power.
💎 6. Embodiment & Conscious Service (Alchemy in Action)
“How can I express myself from presence, not obsession?”
-Map of Consciousness: Anchor your frequency in Acceptance, Love, or Peace—moving from ego to essence.
-Shift focus from “How am I seen?” to “What am I giving?”
-Shadow Work: Keep watching for “feedback addiction” or identity reinflation.
-Practice: Daily embodiment work—walk, speak, create, and relate from your higher self’s vibration.
🧘♀️ 7. Integration & Spiritual Devotion (Stabilizing the Transcendence)
“What spiritual truth dissolves the illusion of self-obsession?”
-Shadow Alchemy: All obsession dissolves in unity consciousness.
-Gene Keys Siddhis: Rest in the formless—e.g., from Arrogance → Humility → Humility’s Siddhi (often Silence or Divine Will).
-Practice: Meditative devotion, silence, nature immersion, non-doing.
💠 Summary Flow:
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.”
Transcending the shadow of Obscurity through integrated Shadow Alchemy is a deep inner journey of bringing what is hidden, unclear, or unexpressed into divine clarity, radiant presence, and embodied purpose. Here’s a step-by-step approach, weaving together Gene Keys, Map of Consciousness, Subconscious Reprogramming, Akashic Work, Emotional Release Bodywork, and Shadow Work:
🌑 1. Recognize & Name the Shadow of Obscurity
-Shadow Theme: Hiding, fear of being seen, confusion, playing small, veiling your essence, unclear identity or purpose.
-Gene Key Tie-In: Often linked with Gene Key 64 (Confusion → Imagination → Illumination) or 36 (Turbulence → Humanity → Compassion).
-Map of Consciousness: Resides in frequencies below 200 — typically around Fear (100) or Apathy (50).
🔍 Practice: Journal what aspects of yourself feel unseen, suppressed, or vague. Where do you avoid clarity or fear visibility?
🧬 2. Witness the Origin (Subconscious + Akashic)
-Subconscious Roots: Childhood experiences of neglect, invalidation, or being ignored.
-Akashic Influences: Past lives involving persecution, betrayal, or rejection for standing in one’s truth or light.
🌀 Practice:
-Use subconscious belief inquiry: “What did I come to believe about being visible or understood?”
-In Akashic exploration, ask: “Where have I hidden or veiled my truth across lifetimes?”
-Use muscle testing or intuitive writing to uncover hidden contracts like: “I must not be seen to stay safe.”
🔥 3. Emotional Release & Somatic Integration
Obscurity lives in the body as contraction — in the throat, solar plexus, or heart.
💠 Practice:
-Use somatic tools like breathwork, bioenergetic shaking, or primal voice release.
-Focus on expressing withheld truth (scream, speak, shake, weep).
-Apply body mapping: where does confusion or fear of being seen live in your body?
🧠 4. Reprogram Core Beliefs
Transform subconscious programming keeping you in confusion or behind a veil.
🧾 Affirmation Shift:
-From: “It’s not safe to be seen.” → To: “My presence is safe, clear, and transformative.”-From: “I don’t know who I am.” → To: “I am the light I’ve been seeking.”
Use methods like:
-Hypnotherapy
-ThetaHealing
NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming)
-Visualization with inner child integration
🔑 5. Gene Key Contemplation
-Shadow of Obscurity often hides in the Gene Keys of mental fog or suppression.
-Example:
-64: Confusion → Imagination → Illumination
-12: Vanity → Discrimination → Purity
-33: Forgetting → Mindfulness → Revelation
🌠 Practice:
-Contemplate the shadow daily.
-Ask: “What is the gift hiding in this obscurity?”
-Use the pause, pivot, presence method:
1. Pause when confusion arises.
2. Pivot to observing instead of reacting.
3. Be present and let new insight emerge.
📈 6. Map of Consciousness Elevation
Transcend the vibrational density by anchoring into Courage (200+), Willingness (310), and Clarity (400).
⚡️ Practice:
-Daily devotional time in higher states (music, prayer, light transmission).
-Focus on acceptance of not knowing while holding the frequency of trust.
-Replace confusion with curiosity.
💎 7. Embody & Express the Gift
Once clarity emerges, live and embody the insights.
✨ Practice:
-Create something: write, teach, speak, mentor, paint.
-Show yourself: in community, in your purpose, in relationships.
-Ground your truth in action: act on the clarity that comes.
🕊️ 8. Anchor in the Siddhi: Radiance Beyond Obscurity
The final transcendence is a return to illumination, divine clarity, and spiritual transparency.
🧘 Practice:
-Practice deep stillness meditation to let divine intelligence arise.
-Use light-based visualizations: envision veils dissolving, your inner sun shining.
-Surrender to Divine Will: let your clarity serve the Whole.
🌀 Summary Flow:
Obscurity → Awareness → Releasing → Reprogramming → Contemplating → Elevating → Expressing → Illuminating
This path isn’t linear — it spirals. Return to deeper layers with each pass.
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.”
Transcending the shadow of Dullness through integrated Shadow Alchemy requires a holistic, multidimensional synthesis of inner tools. Dullness, as a shadow, often reflects suppressed vitality, spiritual disconnection, and emotional numbness—usually stemming from avoidance of deeper truths or repressed creative energy.
Here’s a step-by-step integrated alchemical process using the Gene Keys, Map of Consciousness, subconscious reprogramming, Akashic work, emotional release bodywork, and shadow work:
🔹 Step 1: Recognize & Acknowledge the Shadow (Dullness)
-Gene Keys: Dullness is the Shadow of Gene Key 15 — the path from Dullness → Magnetism → Florescence.
-Essence of the Shadow: Resistance to presence, a disconnection from inner stillness, and stagnation of life force.
-Map of Consciousness (Dr. David Hawkins): Dullness correlates with Apathy (50) to Grief (75) — a low vibrational field of resignation, energy depletion, and suppression.
Practice: Journaling prompt — “Where in my life am I numbing, avoiding, or distracting from being fully present?”
🔹 Step 2: Emotional Awareness & Somatic Activation
-Emotional Release Bodywork: Dullness often masks unprocessed sadness, grief, or fear held in the nervous system.
-Practices:
-Breathwork to awaken suppressed vitality
-Somatic shaking or primal movement
-Vocal toning to awaken the vagus nerve
-Yin yoga or fascia release for frozen tension
Intent: Reawaken the body’s emotional aliveness and reconnect with embodied presence.
🔹 Step 3: Subconscious Reprogramming
-Identify Core Beliefs fueling the dullness:
-“It’s not safe to feel fully.”
-“If I slow down, I’ll be overwhelmed.”
-“Life is monotonous; there’s no purpose.”
-Tools:
-ThetaHealing, PSYCH-K®, or inner child dialogue
-NLP reframing techniques
-Mirror work affirmations: “I am safe to feel. I awaken into vibrant stillness.”
Reprogram beliefs blocking presence, stillness, and inner peace.
🔹 Step 4: Akashic Record Clearing
-Explore past life or ancestral contracts of spiritual shutdown, suppression, religious trauma, or collective programming of dullness as safety.
-Ask: “What karmic imprints are keeping me in stagnation?”
Clear soul contracts that bind you to spiritual numbness or unconscious resistance to stillness.
🔹 Step 5: Shadow Work & Integration
Meet the shadow directly: Create sacred space to dialog with the dullness. Ask:
-“What are you protecting me from?”
-“What would you become if you were fully loved?”
-Invite the shadow of dullness to transmute into the gift of Restraint — focused stillness and grounded presence without collapse.
Practice conscious presence-in-activity: cooking, walking, listening deeply without distraction.
🔹 Step 6: Anchor the Gift Frequency
-Gene Key 52 Gift: Restraint — the ability to stay still amidst chaos. It’s not inactivity, but alert stillness.
-Cultivate presence through mindfulness, nature, contemplative silence, or sacred service.
-Let presence become your living medicine.
Daily Practice: 10 minutes of stillness, eyes open, feeling breath, rooted in the body.
🔹 Step 7: Embody the Siddhi – Stillness
At its highest octave, dullness is the seed of divine stillness — the void of potential, the silence behind sound.
-When fully transcended, it becomes the gateway to illumination, inner peace, and spiritual clarity.
🌀 Final Integration Suggestion:
Create a “Vital Presence” Ritual:
-Set sacred space daily
-Movement → Emotional expression → Stillness
-Journal any downloads or resistances
-Close with heart coherence or gratitude
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.”
Transcending Shadow of Co-Dependence through Integrated Shadow Alchemy
(using Gene Keys, Map of Consciousness, Subconscious Reprogramming, Akashic Work, Emotional Release Bodywork & Shadow Work)
Understanding the Shadow: Co-Dependence
Co-dependence is a shadow rooted in fear, insecurity, and the unconscious belief that one’s sense of self, safety, or value is dependent on another. It’s often tied to survival patterns, ancestral karma, and early emotional wounding, and it resonates around low-level vibrations like shame, guilt, or fear (Map of Consciousness: ~100–175).
Step-by-Step Transcendence Process
1. Awareness & Shadow Recognition (Shadow Work + Map of Consciousness)
-Locate Co-Dependence on the Map: Identify emotional signatures — fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, inability to set boundaries.
-Shadow Journaling: Ask: “Where am I giving my power away for approval, security, or love?”
-Map Calibration: Calibrate current behaviors (e.g., approval-seeking may vibrate at 125–175).
2. Gene Keys Shadow Integration
-Identify your Gene Keys that relate to Co-dependence (e.g., GK 19 – Shadow: Co-dependence → Gift: Sensitivity → Siddhi: Sacrifice).
-Contemplate the Shadow frequency: Notice where your love becomes attachment or emotional fusion.
-Use daily contemplation (pause–breathe–feel) to shift your frequency from unconscious reaction to conscious presence.
3. Subconscious Reprogramming
-Identify limiting beliefs:
“I need someone else to feel whole.”
“If I’m alone, I’m not worthy.”
-Use theta/alpha brainwave states, EFT tapping, or hypnosis to implant new beliefs:
“I am whole and sovereign.”
“Love flows from my essence, not from others.”
4. Akashic Record Clearing
-Go into the Akashic Field to:
-Identify karmic cords and soul contracts perpetuating co-dependence (past life vows, ancestral patterns).
-Revoke outdated contracts (e.g., vows of servitude, martyrdom).
-Reclaim soul fragments lost through emotional enmeshment.
5. Emotional Release Bodywork
-Co-dependence often stores in the solar plexus (identity/power) and sacral (emotional attachment).
Use:
-Somatic shaking or TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises).
-Breathwork to unbind emotional knots (especially grief and fear).
-Inner Child Work to meet unmet needs without projecting them onto others.
6. Integration & Sovereignty Embodiment
-Practice sovereign relating: cultivating relationships based on wholeness, not need.
-Embody higher states on the Map (e.g., Courage 200 → Acceptance 350 → Love 500).
-Daily embodiment practices:
-Grounding meditations to reclaim energetic boundaries.
-Mirror work affirming sovereignty and self-love.
Core Transformational Shift
From:
“I need you to complete me.”
To:
“I choose to love you from my fullness.”
Supporting Tools
-Gene Keys Daily Contemplation (especially those connected to emotional bonding and service)
-Hawkins Scale Check-ins: Feel your vibrational shift
-Voice Dialogue / Parts Work: Integrate the inner dependent, rescuer, or abandoned child
-Relationship Detox: Temporary separation or energetic clearing of enmeshed bonds
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.”

Gene Key 5
Impatience – Patience – Timelessness
“Patience is the way in which the Shadow transforms into the Gift, so it’s fundamental to every aspect of the Gene Keys. It’s the field – the spaciousness – the cauldron – in which dynamic change, the alchemy of life occurs.”
Gene Key 13
Discord – Discernment – Empathy
“Discernment. It’s about discerning the voice of the heart from the voice of the mind. Not that the mind is wrong, but that if it comes before the heart, we’ll again have Discord. We have to discern the heart first, then bring in the mind.”
Gene Key 14
Compromise – Competence – Bounteousness
“To live a life of genius, we have to start believing in ourselves again. We have to get in touch with our hearts and our dreams. We may also feel we’re trapped, if we’ve been living a very compromised life. But we’re never trapped.”
Gene Key 17
Challenging opinion – Far-sightedness – Omniscience
“How can we harm another when we realise that they’re a part of us? How can we harm another when we’re feeling so good? The 17th Siddhi is part of the tradition of sudden awakening. When someone sees through their denial, it shatters them wide open to the core. This is St.Paul on the road to Damascus; this is a thunderbolt.”
Gene Keys 18
Judgment – Integrity – Perfection
“In this 18th Gene Key we’re really talking about mental Judgments. We can think about what our life would be like without our mind making these Judgments, when we’re just sunk into the inherent Perfection of it all. Perfection isn’t a Judgment – it’s a cellular knowing.”
Gene Key 22
Dishonor – Graciousness – Grace
“Graciousness isn’t just politeness or courtesy, although it may contain both of these qualities. It’s a whole cocktail of noble qualities. It’s also very refined and often very subtle. It’s an attitude carried in our aura, and it’s rooted in a deep reverence for all life.”
Gene Key 26
Pride – Artfulness – Invisibility
“This Siddhi of Invisibility creates vast ripples of awakening, which influence all life to thrive, without anyone even seeing us while we do it. That is Divine Pride. Only you and the gods know what you’ve done.”
Gene Key 30
Desire – Lightness – Rapture
“We rise and we fall in life. Sometimes we’re flying and sometimes we’re dragging. We have to see that Desire isn’t ‘unholy’. There is no holy and unholy. That’s what creates heaviness and guilt. Lightness is when we can look at Desire with equanimity.” Read more about “Why we are healing the Male/ Female balance on Earth?” and lust & seduction game here.
Gene Key 35
Hunger – Adventure – Boundlessness
“This Gene Key has driven us with its Hunger. Our deepest Hunger is to fly once again, to sail up into the sky and become one with the Divine, to be a bird in the skies of existence…”
Gene Key 38
Struggle – Perseverance – Honor
“What will we do with each precious day of our life? The 38th Gift tells us: find a fight worth fighting, and pour ourself into that. The human spirit is indomitable. It loves to reach and stretch and break new ground. We won’t be happy in life unless we too reach and stretch and break new ground. No matter who we are.”
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 48
Inadequacy – Resourcefulness – Wisdom
“Wisdom lies between the words, behind the concepts. It’s older than the mind. It may be reached through the mind, like sunlight through a prism, but it doesn’t attach itself anywhere. It emerges spontaneously, right from the heart of creation. Wisdom is alive.”
Gene Key 51
Agitation – Initiative – Awakening
“Awakening is really a series of softenings. Our awareness becomes more one-pointed, but our heart and mind become softer and more open. Whenever we’re confronted with harshness, the unexpected, noise, turbulence, the thunder of life, instead of tensing up, we can relax and open, soften and become milder. Mildness is an essential quality needed to allow spiritual initiation.”
Gene Key 53
Immaturity – Expansion – Superabundance
“Expansion comes without effort. It emerges naturally, slowly, quietly. It brings calm rather than excitement. It brings simplicity rather than complexity. It brings perspective rather than ambition. And it all comes through slowing down.”
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 57
Unease – Intuition – Clarity
“Clarity is a new world. With Clarity there is no I. Clarity can’t exist with a sense of identification. To get to the heart of the matter, we must let go of all that we’ve ever known. Our Intuition will take us finally to a precipice in consciousness.”
Gene Key 61
Psychosis – Inspiration – Sanctity
“If we have this Gene Key, our life is a contemplation of death. We must not turn away from this work. It will fill us with life. The answers will come. The memory of the beyond will return in time. We must listen inwardly for the music of life, and let it move us in creative work.”
Gene Key 62
Intellect – Precision – Impeccability
“Many people have been shocked to find that one of the Shadows in the Gene Keys is the Shadow of Intellect. The reason that Intellect is a Shadow is quite simply because it’s rooted in dualism.”
