In this episode of the Esoteric Alkhemy Podcast, I sit down once again with Griffin for a spontaneous and authentic conversation exploring the mechanics of Human Design, conditioning, nervous system regulation, and the ongoing experiment of becoming yourself. Together, we unpack the challenges of living by splenic authority, the pressure of the not-self mind, emotional conditioning through the transits, and the illusion of control; especially during uncertain periods of life. Griffin shares his recent journey through Thailand and Vietnam while working with the sensory design intensives at the Archive, blending nervous system work, biomechanics, and Human Design into a deeply embodied practice. The conversation explores how conditioning shows up physically in the body, the relationship between pressure and authenticity, and why slowing down may be one of the deepest lessons for projectors. We also dive into: * Transits and the gate of control * Undefined centers and emotional conditioning * Human Design, Gene Keys, and Shadow Work * The relationship between the energy body and physical body * Deconditioning through awareness and embodiment *Fear, self-consciousness, and authentic expression * Sensory Design, pressure work, and nervous system regulation This episode is less of an interview and more of an open-ended exploration between two friends deeply immersed in the Human Design experiment. ䷳ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Introduction & Griffin Returns 01:30 – Life in Thailand, Vietnam & Sensory Design 06:20 – Splenic Authority & Losing Control 11:30 – Human Design Transits Explained 17:00 – Emotional Conditioning & Awareness 18:00 – Saturn in Gate 21: The Illusion of Control 25:00 – Money, Resources & Projector Challenges 34:30 – Business, Burnout & The Not-Self Mind 49:00 – Sensory Design & Nervous System Regulation 1:03:00 – Gene Keys Shadow Work & Authentic Expression 1:15:00 – Final Reflections & Closing Thoughts Connect with Griffin: Website: https://griffincoombs.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griffin_coombs ☯ If something in this conversation resonated with you… don’t just let it pass through. ☯ Subscribe to keep walking this path with us.
