Human Design Shadow: A Tonic for Lunacy

Shadows. Charts. Shadows. Reports. Charts & Report & Shadows. OMG.

I am here to clear up the confusion for you and potentially create more. You're welcome. Even if you know all the chart/report things, don't skip this episode because I also share som...

The secret to manifesting is hidden in your Human Design bodygraph  But not in the way that you may think. We’re not looking at what TYPE of manifestor you are based on your variables  (because shhh that isn’t a real thing from Ra — someone made it up). Using this Human Design Shadow Chart, we are looking at the reasons WHY everything you have tried in the past hasn’t working.  And what EXACTLY is...

In episode 38, we take a deep look into Britney Spears’ Human Design shadow chart. What are some of her deepest conditionings and how can she begin to heal and bridge the gap between her not-self and her true-self? I show you how to read your own shadow chart and what to look for in terms of shadow consciousnesses, sabotage patterns, conditionings from others, and potential trauma responses. If yo...

In episode 37 I interview Lois Haycock the SHADOW DOMINATRIX and we chat about her perspective around shadow work and how we are constantly in sub/domme relationships (EVEN within ourselves).    Her insights are practical, easy to understand, as well as paradigm shifting!

I've been talking about this a lot on my Instagram stories, the process of unraveling. The process of coming face to face with your conditioning and choosing different. The mind f*ck of it all is that you have to challenge every part of yourself and who you've known yourself to be .... only to BEGIN to understand your conditionings. And then you let it all unravel. This is an account of my persona...

In episode 34 of a Tonic for Lunacy Danna & Whitney chat with Holistic Nutritionist Madalyn Hughes.

A truly fascinating episode about health, food, women’s hormones, Human Design, and more!  ...

In episode 33 of a tonic for lunacy we talk about the process of being conditioned and then de-conditioning.

I also share a short clip from a recent reading in which I describe the de-conditoning process from another perspe...

In this episode I talk about the need to REASSESS everything in our lives while we are deconditioning and after we’ve crossed that elusive line in the sand. Deconditioning can make you more sensitive (and I share some stories) but mostly it changes who you give yourself permission to be. There becomes no other choice. It’s too painful and energetically dense to go back.  I also go on several off t...

In episode 26 we dive into depression in the bodygraph and how to change the meaning that we give depression in order to live our design in the most aligned way.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one!   Lin...

In this episode we chat about the NEED for change and how it is a rejection of who we are at the core ... human. Change isn't all bad, of course but the constant need to be different, better, have more, be more is a deep inner wounding. We also chat about strategy and authority and why following it PERFECTLY doesn't actually make life perfect.   xo Danna  IG| @this.is.danna Check out my latest mas...
