This week, gate 56 adds rich, juicy color, metaphor and emotional resonance into this cosmic mashup. Welcome to the traveling hypnotist podcast, the ultimate destination to elevate your life through the power of travel, modern hypnosis, neuroscience and time tested wellness practices. I'm Nicola Hernandez, the traveling hypnotist. All right, it's time to journey within and go beyond. This is the human design frequency forecast for gate 56 July 19 through the 24th 2025 it's your energetic guidance via human design, and yes, I always leave you some creative prompts here at the end to help you show up in flow according to gate 56 I'm Nicole Hernandez. I am a top clinical hypnotist as well as a success coach in New York City, and I'm really excited because I'm going to be headed to the lodge at Woodlock at the beginning of August, and hopefully you'll find the details somewhere here. I will be dropping them below, just so you have the links. But I'm ready to travel. I don't know about you, I'm ready to get away, and I cannot wait to share this experience where I'll be teaching you some human design master classes, you have a chance to be out in nature, to experience spa cuisine, to do stand up, paddle board, to do hikes, nature, yoga, all the things. And I think the spa is like 40,000 square feet. It's going to be an amazing weekend. So if you're looking for a way to combine mindfulness with your travels, especially before we head into the fall and back to that work mode. Then I would really encourage you to look into this again. I'll just link it here at the bottom so that you have it. And just a quick reminder the wait list for high frequency success VIP coaching, my 12 week intensive is now open. So just to give you a little heads up, I am going to start conducting some early calls in August, and then we're going to move into it, because I really want you to utilize this fall to make some big life changes, whether that is you're moving into your own business, or you just really want to up level Your mindset around money and what is available to you, or you're ready to dig into some of your relationship shadows, and you want someone to help you move through that and make those big changes. Okay, the frequency theme, the gate of stimulation, the sun is now moving through gate 56 the gate of stimulation in human design, also known as the wonderer in the I Ching. It's the second week we're actually waltzing with the throat center in this collective consciousness, the energetic center of communication, our visibility, our impact of manifestation, of all the things that come from speaking, writing and sharing. So this week, it's about storytelling from lived experience. You're being invited to speak up, not just for attention, but for the evolution of yourself and others. So last week, gate 62 if you remember, asked us to stay logical and precise and rooted in objective truth, right? It says, give me the facts and let me structure this and put it together and share it with you. But this week, gate 56 adds rich, juicy color, metaphor and emotional resonance into this cosmic mashup. Because the thing is that people don't transform from spreadsheets that make their eyes glaze over, right? How many times have you sat in a boardroom and you've had to watch this long PowerPoint with all the facts and figures when that person finally shares a real story, that's where we get it, and that's what we're learning here, is that people transform from real stories that make them say, oh shit, that's me, right. They feel a piece of that story in themselves. And they go, I can relate to that. And how does this go? And what do I need to learn from this? They lean in. Now, gate 56 asks you, what story are you telling yourself, and is it leading you closer to your power or further away from it? Because, as you know, stories heal, but they can also keep us trapped in a prison of our past. And we'll be looking a little further into that. Now, if gate 56 is defined in your chart, so you're looking at your human design body graph, and you see the 56 activated. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you don't have access to your human design chart. I'm going to leave the link to my own website so you can grab yours there. Now, in your highest frequency, you're all about the lived experience, the travel, the adventures and the hard earned wisdom that you gained from those experiences. You have the potential to be an enthralling Yes, I like. That word, enthralling storyteller with the power to reframe pain and offer real perspective and insight. When you speak or write from a place of heart led service, you become a mirror that helps people see new possibilities for themselves. Now I know if you're a writer, you're probably listening to this and thinking, This is amazing. I'm writing my memoir, and this is what it's meant to do. So as you write that memoir, I want you to really stay connected to this idea of being of service, of how your story is going to connect. So if you have this gate 56 you were born to teach uplift, spark curiosity. But here's the deal, showing up means bringing a little vulnerability, a little humor, and leaving that polished, performative, lackluster BS behind, because that stuff that I'm better than you, or this has to be perfect, or I'm going to be unaffected. That kind of energy is like emotional Teflon, right? It just creates some distance. And I want you to be in a place as you're speaking, as you're sharing in the vibe of I know where you are because I've lived it and I've gone through it, and I'm going to just share how you can do this better, like how to make it easier for you. So what this transit brings to the party, whether you RSVPed or not. So this energy is about collecting memories, experiences and meaning and sharing them in a way that enriches the collective. Gate 56 connects the throat center to the Ajna center, and that is an awareness center that's related to mechanical consciousness. So think about our beliefs, our thoughts. So when you think about this energy, I'd like you to imagine your favorite dinner party guest who sits down and announces, you'll never believe what happened to me last week, and in that telling as you're listening and as you're going through all the details, all the sensations and hearing it, it offers a window into a new way of viewing the world. When I reflect on this gate, I think about a story I used to tell myself for decades. You see, my mom was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was a child, and I often found myself playing her caretaker, especially after my parents got a divorce, and no one ever told me that I had to do that. I just kind of decided that I needed to be the one that kept everything from collapsing. I needed to be the strong one. I needed to be the responsible one. I needed to be the good kid, and maybe you have a story like that too. I talk to people so often who have had maybe a parent that was struggling with their mental health, whether they were diagnosed or not, and that story of being the good kid or the one that kept it all together or the caretaker, that story became my identity, but it also came at a cost. It cost my childhood. I didn't feel like I belonged in most circles. I had to keep the fact that my mother was going through this as a secret, because she didn't want the neighbors to think she was crazy. She didn't want that to get out into our town. And so you can imagine, I kept quiet about my personal life, and when I got to college, which felt like freedom to me, I found my escape, and that was alcohol. And honestly, it was magic. At first, I just went down these glasses, and then I would just finally let loose. I could finally laugh and play and say the thoughts that were running through my head and in those moments, I remember just feeling like I could let go of this pressure to have it all together, but that liquid escapism started to started leading to blackouts and risky behavior, like I fell asleep on the subway and woke up and it was 6am in the morning, and I was in Coney Island. All of that could have ended very badly for me, and I'm not going to go into it all now, because I think that's a story for another day. But I want you to know this alcohol wasn't the answer, and the use of alcohol is an example of the shadow of gate 56 we get lost in distractions, and we find ways to escape looking at ourselves and dealing with reality. And for some people, that is alcohol. For others, it's scrolling. For other people, it's shopping online, and for others, it's eating. There's so many ways that we escape ourselves or we try to anyway. But fast forward to 2019, and during my final weeks of hypnosis training, we conducted a walking hypnosis through the trees of the Hudson Valley. And it was in the session that I had just imagined this little girl, this little me, as someone who had been. Locked in a closet, and I imagine just opening that door for her and letting her out and and it was in that experience where I had this deep grieving, you know, deep grieving for like, 40 years of my life that I had felt heavy and I realized that even though I had had that experience for so long, and even though that was my own doing, of my own story, that I could also change a story in that moment, and I could start to play and laugh and Live in joy, and I was just so deeply healing in ways that I'll never be able to articulate. But what I also realized in the days and weeks and months that came afterward is that experience of being my mother's caretaker on those days when she was suicidal and life was really hard for her, and it was really hard to be in that energy with her. It actually made me the deeply attuned healer and coach that I am today, where I can be with someone in their deepest moments, in their vulnerability, and also hold a space for them. And this is a story that I now know that's the frequency of gay 56 it turns those painful years into meaningful life, elevating purpose, and that's when life really gets good. So the frequency spectrum of gay 56 so let's explore how this energy can actually play out in your life, because frequency can evolve on the daily, and it's really your awareness and your decision that makes the difference. So you can be aware of where you are in the frequency, and you can also decide to up level. So if you're in the low frequency. Here's a few things that you should be aware of. Number one, sharing from a place when you're still swimming in the hurt, instead of beyond it. So I think we have all seen this on social media time and time again, where someone is sharing while they're in the thick of it, and I understand people want to feel like they are being supported by others. The others can see we know what they're going through, or maybe it's a call out for help and and that's fine, but also knowing that this gate is inviting you to really move beyond that, to move beyond that hurt, to get the help you need before you share the story number two, becoming easily distracted or overstimulated as a way of escaping yourself. So is it that you are constantly scrolling? Is it that you are just not paying attention to where you are in life, in reality? Is it that you're ignoring your finances and you're still going out and traveling and buying things and without really facing what needs to be faced. Number three, are you holding back your truth out of fear? You know that feeling that you get when you swallow back what you really wanted to share, or you show up in that fake perfectionism instead of your rich humanity? So I urge you to please, if you feel it, if you've moved through it, if you have guidance to offer, please use your voice. Number four, getting stuck in old victim narratives. So that's the blaming, the shaming, the holding on to the lie that life is supposed to be fair. I can't tell you how many people get stuck in this idea that life is supposed to be fair, and because it wasn't fair, they can't move on. They can't become a responsible adult. It's quite amazing to me, of all the different circumstances that people are born into. Yet there's still this idea that we should all be born into equal circumstances. It's just not the reality of it. It's about being in what you were born into, right? And I think that's why so many of us appreciate those rags to riches stories, because it gives us the hope that we can move beyond the difficult circumstances that we were born into, number five, embellishing or manipulating stories to sell more material emptiness. So you'll see a lot of embellishment manipulating of stories, especially with AI on the move. And people can take voices and video and manipulate everything, and are they doing it for a political agenda? Are they doing it to sell something? Are they doing it just to get more visibility on their posts? It's getting kind of gross, isn't it, and it's something to be aware of, especially as AI becomes more involved in our day to day. Yeah. And the last point here escaping into fantasy to avoid what's real kind of like when you're watching those style reels, or maybe I'm the only one who's watching those style reels, or the makeup reels, instead of having a real conversation with a partner who's also on their phone and sitting on the opposite end of the couch, right? So we are avoiding having these relationships, these real life IRL relationships, because we're so involved in living in the fantasy world or escaping our reality, because there are hard things we need to talk about. High frequency. All right, let's move into high frequency. Number one, emotionally uplifting others through your own story. Number two, teaching through metaphor, lived experience and humor. Yes, humor. I mean, we need more laughter and love in this world, so bring it on. Number three, seeing beauty and meaning and the unexpected. So fun story, I randomly spotted Natalie Portman across the street from my condo this week. I this really deep desire to go outside and take a little mini walk. And as I was walking back home, I see her in the distance and like, oh my gosh, is that Natalie Portman, so I climbed up these stairs, and I turned around, and I looked and I waited for her to walk by, and it was her, and she was talking on the phone. I didn't catch the words, but her bodyguard was like a hawk looking at everyone that was around to make sure that we weren't filming her, that we weren't trying to disturb her. It was just fun. Number four, helping people see the best in themselves, pointing out what makes them special and interesting in your eyes. Yes, this gate, 56 is stories, and it's uplifting, and it's experience and it's curiosity. So can you get curious about the people in your life, and sometimes just acknowledging people can help them tell a new story for themselves. And the last one here knowing the difference between distraction like that, mindless scrolling and enrichment, maybe traveling, but because you want to experience new cultures and a new way of seeing the world, so just noting the difference. All right, so let's move on to the energetic Tip of the Week. The theme here is going to be, what's the story that's ready to evolve? So this week, I'd like you to slow down and ask yourself, what is the one story that keeps holding me back? And as I ask you that, I'm going to give you a little moment here to allow that story to rise. So once you find it, I want you to ask yourself or journal it out, or voice note it the following questions. Number one, if this was my hero's journey, what did this character learn from going through those hardships? So if you've watched any movie, or if you understand the hero's journey, you know that we start off with a calling because there's a problem, and then we move through the ups and downs, right? Because that's life, and then we resolve something, usually internally and externally, but sometimes the internal shift is the thing that actually creates the external shift, and it's a lot of the work that I do with my clientele is actually helping them understand that we have to start with the internal shift first, because that allows the external to reflect that new energy that now we're moving through life With, and it creates a whole new set of opportunities. And so the second question I want you to ask yourself is, what does this character now own as a superpower or tool? So after you've gone through all of that, what did you take away? What is the learning from all of this? What is the learned, earned wisdom. And number three, how can I commit to owning the superpower or this tool? So like in the story I shared with you earlier, a couple of the things that came up for me were like owning my joy and owning my ability to be with the hard things too, right? I have that deeper capacity. So how do I commit to those superpowers or those tools now moving forward? And that'll be a question that you can ask yourself, and I wonder how all of these things will begin to change your life in such miraculous ways. All right, let's get visible gate 56 content prompts. So I want you to use this week's visibility prompts for storytelling that connects, converts and heals. So number one, you don't need a perfect beginning to share a powerful ending. So the reminder here is to tell your audience that sometimes the impact lives in their process, their journey or their experience, not that they had it all. All figure it out at the beginning, or that they had all the systems worked out from day one, because that's just not reality. Number two, if your life feels like a plot twist, you're probably the main character. So this is an opportunity to help your clients or your audience reframe uncertainty as an invitation to get curious, because when we have curiosity, that's where the real juiciness comes. That's where we have so many lessons that we learn. Number three, the secret to storytelling that connects is share the scar, not the wound. So educate on the difference between venting your pain and offering a lesson or a new perspective. Number four, hot take. All the distracted scrolling is killing relationships. Now this might be great if you're a relationship coach or maybe you're a therapist, so shine a light on the shadow of distraction, then offer way to interrupt the pattern. And number five, I used to think I needed a polished brand voice. Turns out, I just needed to stop editing my truth. Now this could be your opening line for a subset, post a note, a podcast intro or your LinkedIn article. And I have to tell you, this really is true for me. I found that when I stopped trying to examine what my brand voice is supposed to sound like and just started being more me. Then my brand voice came through, because it is just me. Oh, my goodness, I just saved you 1000s of dollars right there. Okay, don't fight the energy. Stay in flow.
