Akari (00:00):
There's a box of things
that I know that I don't know
Like I'm not a rocket scienceright, there's no way that I
will ever launch a rocket andthen there's a box of things
that I don't know, that I don'tknow, and it's in that box that
I really like the quantum fieldof it that I love to sit and
explore, because there's so manyfascinating things that who
would have known?
(00:20):
Right, one little biohack andit shifts your whole entire life
.
Camille (00:33):
So you want to make an
impact.
You're thinking about startinga business, sharing your voice.
How do women do it that handlemotherhood, family and still
chase after those dreams?
We'll listen each week as wedive into the stories of women
who know this is Call Me CEO.
Welcome back everyone to CallMe CEO.
(00:54):
This is your host, CamilleWalker, and here we celebrate
mothers building businesses ofall kinds and of all people and
of all places.
It's such a good place to be.
Thank you for being here andtuning in, being a part of this
community and sharing the show.
I appreciate your messages,your DMs and the inspiration
that you get here, because, samelike I, love it so much, and
(01:15):
today we are going to be so fedwith amazing inspiration, not
only for yourself and yourbusiness, but we're going to
talk about parenting and kids aswell.
When it comes to human design,using your energy the best to
your ability and also creatingspace for wellness too.
Akari Busto is an emotionalbiohacker who her specialty is
(01:39):
looking into health and how toreally get into the system of
your body so that you can growin all areas of your life.
So thank you, Akari, for beingon the show.
We've already had such a funpre-interview.
I'm so excited to hear whatcomes out with our conversation.
Akari (01:55):
Thank you so much for
having me.
Yes, it's so fun to share themagic, right?
I always say there are threeboxes in our world.
I always say there are threeboxes in our world the box of
things that I know, I know, or,like I know how to drive.
There's a box of things that Iknow, that I don't know.
I'm not a rocket science, right?
There's no way that I will everlaunch a rocket.
(02:17):
And then there's a box ofthings that I don't know, that I
don't know, and it's in thatbox that I really like the
quantum field of it that I loveto sit and explore, because
there's so many fascinatingthings that who would have known
?
Right?
One little biohack and itshifts your whole entire life.
Camille (02:37):
It's true, I feel like
there is so much information
available to us now aboutunderstanding more of our mental
health.
The way our bodies function,the way sleep affects our
ability to think the next day.
I mean, it all really is soconnected, so I love that we're
going to dive into this.
Please introduce yourself and alittle bit about you, your
(02:57):
business, your family, where youlive all of that good stuff.
Akari (03:02):
Thank you.
Yes, so my name is Akari and Icall myself an emotional
biohacker.
I live in the city of LongBeach, California, and I find
that my work has been veryfoundational, in the sense where
I work with the nervous systemand I carry it very, very gently
(03:22):
, because there's so much roomfor re-traumatization when we're
working with the nervous systemthat I really take that into
consideration.
I've seen it happen, I have hadit happen to me, and so for me
being very diligent with thefoundational work, which means
that my work is based off ofthree pillars, which is the mind
(03:43):
, the body and the soul.
And my favorite analogy is a lotof us get into the car, right,
we get into our car, we turn iton and we just drive, we go.
What happens with our vehicle,our body, is that if we don't
put the right gas in our body,we're not going to be able to
just flip the switch and go Like.
(04:04):
There's so many differentthings that you can do.
So I've applied a sciencebacked technology to.
It's almost like a bio feedbacksensor that you get to plug in
and you can actually see yournervous system live and
operating.
So when someone says hey, youknow, you just need to calm down
(04:25):
.
It's like, okay, what does thatfeel like, what does that look
like?
And I'm a data girl, so scienceis like my jam.
And so when the sensor, whenyou're playing with the sensor
and you start to see that youstart to recognize there's a new
awareness that comes in aroundwhat does calm really mean and
feel?
So my, my, my work is really, Ilike to say, foundational,
(04:49):
where, as you start to learnthese tools, you are going to be
able to apply it to any othercircumstance in your life,
because new level, new devil,right yeah, every, every Every
new challenge that we have.
We've never been there beforeand our nervous system doesn't
know what to do.
(05:10):
So I tried to prepare you sothat every time you come into a
new challenge, something elsecomes up.
You go back to basics, which isusing your biofeedback sensor
and starting that resilience.
You're building resilience.
It's a tool to help you buildresilience.
Camille (05:27):
I love that.
What was it that got youinterested in this field of work
?
Akari (05:35):
My daughter.
I worked corporate and just Iwas in.
Believe it or not, I was doinginternational banking and
traveling and coming and goingand doing, and that in and of
itself is very stressful,because being the only woman at
the table with a bunch of menisn't always what we think it's
(05:57):
going to be Right.
We think of men as being likedirect, getting things done,
like go getters.
We have our preconceivednotions of what that looks like
and it's nothing like that.
There's a lot of emotions,there's a lot of threat, there's
a lot of competition happening.
So there was a point where mydaughter got sick and you know
(06:22):
you're pivoting, you're doingall the things that you can and
my nervous system just crashed.
It was just too much for mynervous system and there was
nothing right, there was nothingavailable.
The awareness wasn't even therearound building your resilience
and when I started getting intothis space was I needed to find
(06:43):
a way to meditate, because Iwould hear like you just need to
get into the zone.
So I tried transcendentalmeditation, which is 20 minutes
in the morning, 20 minutes atnight, but it was so boring.
My brain was like we're nothaving this, like we're so into
the chaos, like the quiet isn'tfeeling good.
(07:05):
So I did my first breathworkclass and I was sold.
I was like, where has this beenall of my life?
Yeah, it was the first timethat my body got to disconnect
from my brain and I knew thatthis was exactly what I wanted
to get into.
So I tapped into breathworkfirst and then it all slowly
(07:27):
started to.
You know, it was like a rippleeffect.
I started here and just startedto get more and more curious
about how deep I could go andunderstanding the nervous system
and understanding what itreally is doing.
Because you think, god, I feelso great when I do breath work,
but you don't understand the why.
And in my human design I have alittle gate that always asks
(07:52):
why, why, why, why, why.
I want to know why.
I'm very curious and, yeah, soit started to bring me through
all of this and through the work.
You know that inner work that Ihad to do all of this and
through the work, you know thatinner work that I had to do the
shadow work, the letting go, thereparenting of myself.
(08:16):
It just created so much morejoy, so much more of that innate
thing where we always say youcan't find happiness outside,
you have to find it within, andso I was able to build my bubble
I guess that's what I wouldcall it my, my safety bubble of
joy, that it doesn't matterwhere I go, other people's
emotions and feelings andwhatever is not going to affect
my bubble, because I'm incontrol of my bubble now.
Camille (08:37):
Ooh, that's powerful.
I feel like that's somethingthat, especially where we live
in such a go go, especiallywhere we live in such a go, go
go environment, especially beingin the United States and
wearing more and more hats andfeeling like we have to do
everything, that that's a verycommon feeling that a lot of
women have, especially wherewe're expected to keep quiet
(08:59):
about negative emotions, wemight have bubble up when we are
dealing with so much stress.
Negative emotions, we mighthave bubble up when we are
dealing with so much stress.
So I'm curious for someonewho's listening and maybe
thinking Ooh, I totally relatewith that.
I need to bring my, my nervoussystem back into a safe place
and breathwork love , by theway but what are some baby steps
(09:21):
of creating and understandingthat nervous system?
Akari (09:28):
I think my favorite thing
breathwork when do.
I always call it lazy man'syoga, right?
Because we're laying down andputting our little eye pillows
on and listening to the comfymusic.
It's not practical.
It's not practical when you'resitting, you know, at the bank
and someone's having a moment,or you're sitting in or you're
(09:49):
standing in line at the grocerystore.
It's not practical.
So what I have done is gonereally deep into the research
and I got myself into the heartmath institute.
Are you familiar?
So the heartath Institute isactually an institute that has
studied the heart for over 25years, and that is where this
(10:13):
biofeedback sensor comes from.
And what we learn about that isthat the heart has its own
brain and it is so much smarterthan the brain brain, right?
Because what is the number onejob of the brain, do you know?
Camille (10:29):
To keep the body doing
the functions I would guess.
Akari (10:34):
Partly.
Yes, you're not wrong, but thenumber one function is to keep
us safe.
So when we're driving andsomeone cuts us off or whatever,
you know we don't think, wejust stop immediately.
So, and it does it beautifully.
I'm really happy that it doesit.
But if the number one job ofthe brain is to keep you safe,
(10:55):
then what kind of choices anddecisions are you making?
Are they aligned with yourheart, or are they, like you
know, with your trauma goggleson where you want to keep
yourself safe, because if itdoesn't, your nervous system
goes crazy Right, and so we'relimiting ourselves from
experiences all of the timebecause we're afraid.
(11:17):
And so the one step that Ialways recommend for people, in
its basic, it's connect to yourheart, and connecting to your
heart means really justconnecting to it, feeling it and
breathing through it, imaginingthat your breath is flowing in
(11:39):
and out of your heart space, andthat'll immediately give you
that calm.
It is magic.
Camille (11:47):
I believe that I mean,
I've been to quite a few
trainings and things like thatwhere we've talked about nervous
system or how the brain worksand the fight, flight, fawn or
freeze, and it's so interestingthe way that the brain does
things.
I was actually speaking with awoman last week.
We met at a basketball game andshe was telling me about a
(12:11):
birth experience that she hadhad, giving she's only had one
baby and she is really thinkingshe's done because it was such a
traumatic experience for her.
And she said and the strangestthing was that I remembered the
birth experience so differentfrom what actually happened, and
that when she went back andwatched video footage of what
(12:33):
actually happened, she said thatis not the way my brain
remembered it at all.
Like it was so fascinating forher to look back and see what it
was that her brain changed orfiltered out without her even
realizing.
And I think that's sointeresting to imagine ourselves
in our day-to-day or goingthrough really rough experiences
(12:54):
or past trauma or whatever itis what actually happened and
what is your brain protectingyou from, and maybe rewriting or
omitting or covering somethingin the actual way that it turned
out Right.
It's just so interesting toconsider our human experience.
Akari (13:13):
I find it offensive.
You know, it's like my brainisn't giving me the benefit of
the doubt to even like how is itrerouting this?
You're telling me my brain istelling me you can't cope with
this, so let me just skip that.
Right Edit the track.
Crazy, it is crazy to thinkthat, right, I, I.
(13:36):
That's why I'm telling you.
I find it offensive.
I'm like I could have totallyhandled that information.
Yeah, that's.
That's great awareness, though,and it really helps us reframe
right, reframe how we are seeingthings and understand that
(13:56):
through my lens it may look thisway, but there are so many
lenses and it doesn'tnecessarily make it right or
wrong.
If we can just stay in aneutral space.
That is key.
If we can stay in a neutralspace when we're receiving
information from our kids, fromour partners, from the people we
(14:17):
work with, it allows us to notjump into conclusion.
It allows us to not jump intoconclusion.
Camille (14:24):
It allows us to hear,
and the difference between
hearing, right, hearing someoneand listening to someone, yeah,
and stop assuming yeah, I lovethat, and what I meant to say
and I skipped it, I apologize,my brain rerouted and I skipped
(14:47):
it, I apologize, my brainrerouted is that our breath is
the only thing we have controlover that will directly affect
our sympathetic nervous systemand the parasympathetic which
one is it that when we changeour breath, it's the only thing
that will change, right Like thenervous system and how it's
operating?
So it's empowering to me torealize that everyone has breath
(15:07):
.
You have breath within you.
Everyone has the ability to beable to box breathe, to focus on
breath, to connect and think ofthe heart.
I haven't done that exactlythinking of my heart as I
breathe.
So I really like thatperspective, to try to connect
that space with my breath.
Akari (15:27):
It's so beautiful too,
because one of the things that
science has found is that theheart has an electromagnetic
field that goes three to fivefeet outside of your body.
So if you think of like an auricfield, right, like it is all
out there.
And so one example thatfascinates me is that if you are
(15:47):
like, if your back is facingthe door and someone walks in,
you somehow know that there'ssomeone behind you and it's not
the brain, right, the brain isnot the one that's catching it,
it is your heart.
And when you think of howpowerful your heart has to be to
(16:08):
be able to intuitively knowexactly what is happening around
it, it's fascinating, sointeresting.
The more you practice thinkingor processing or making
decisions with your heart, right, it's like a muscle, it's like
going to the gym, you'redeveloping a new neural pathway
(16:30):
and you'll know things.
The heart is so amazing.
There's a reason why so manyold civilizations have always
revered the heart right, feelyour heart, go into your heart.
Like just so many differentspiritual, you know, practices
have led us to the heart.
So now, talking about it andallowing people to understand
(16:55):
the science behind it, yourealize that science has caught
up to the woo-woo.
Camille (17:02):
Yes, it's so true.
I actually one of the classes Iwent to about the nervous
system too suggested that if youare having a time of overwhelm
or stress, that you actuallylook behind yourself and affirm
that you're not being chased,which that is a very
neanderthalic beginnings of ourbrain of affirming that you are
(17:26):
safe and no one is chasing you.
And so to reset.
That's one of the ways that youcan do.
That is looking behind you andconfirming and I thought that is
so interesting so there's somany developments of that
intuition, but also our roots asa human species.
It's like pretty impressivethat we it's just such a huge
(17:51):
piece of mixed medias, mediumsthat we're working with of our
intuition, of our auras, of ourearly beginnings as a human
species.
It's just so fascinating to me.
I'm curious, as you're goingthrough this work and helping
people, specifically women,business owners what have been
some breakthrough moments thatyou've seen while connecting and
(18:14):
rerouting and biohacking, theway that you coach people to do.
Akari (18:20):
One of the biggest things
is, when our nervous system is
not feeling grounded, we can'tget to the next level right, we
stay stuck in a baseline.
So how do you shift baselines?
And all it is.
Like I said earlier, it's likenew level, new devil, and unless
(18:40):
you're, you know, working onyour nervous system, that's
going to get ready, it's goingto get you ready to jump and
leap forward.
I think that's really thefoundational work of anything
and everything.
So, working with businesswomenwho are trying to go to the next
level, it is teaching themthese fundamental tools and
(19:00):
techniques that they can useeverywhere, because it's about
practicality and so, just as Idescribed earlier being in a
room full of men and the energybeing so different from them, to
us, to me and being able tohandle myself in a way that I
(19:22):
could stay in a neutral space,because sometimes they would
really trigger me.
They would really trigger meand my wild fighting warrior
would come out.
Right and it's like oh reallyyou want to go there.
So so thinking about how can Ishow up in a way that is
(19:46):
non-threatening, not just forthem but for my family, right,
it's as simple as thinking howcan I show up without having to
raise my voice?
Camille (19:57):

One mindful minute at a time.
(20:39):
Bonus if you are a YouTube fan,we can also be found there with
little videos that go alongwith our meditations as well.
I like that that you put itboth that way, because I think
in the boardroom or in thekitchen at dinnertime, like you,
are in a space of high emotionswhere people aren't their best
and they may be making demandsor whatever the scenario is.
(21:00):
So what are some tools that wecan use in moments like that?
Akari (21:05):
You know it's, it's all
basic connect to your heart,
like we don't have to doanything.
That's going to be so and Ithink that's what that's's what
this, the belief that we have,is that if it's not hard, then
it's not going to work or it'snot worth investing it.
What I have seen is and whatthe feedback that I get which I
(21:26):
think is so funny is that splitsecond when you are ready to
just say something and thefeedback is in my head.
I have a question Do I reallyneed to say this?
Is there value in what I'msaying?
Or do I just need to hearmyself say it and I and I get so
(21:50):
excited because I've been there, right, I've been there at that
moment where I'm so triggeredthat I just want to like shotgun
everything right, and that'sbeen the thought.
Is that, do I really need to?
Is there any value in what Ihave to say or do I just need,
do I have the need to say it andthen I can make a choice of oh
(22:12):
well, I just need to say it andI can say it.
What I also really appreciate isknowing that I can choose again
, right, that it's not alwaysgoing to be perfect.
These tools are not going tomake you superhuman and you're
never going to be triggered,ever again.
What it does, a special momentto create safety around you,
(22:37):
because I also contribute to thechaos, or I could also be
contributing to the peace, right?
Yeah, so it is beautiful tohave a choice, but when you
don't have a choice, you can'tmake the best out of it.
So I really appreciateconnecting to the heart as being
the way of anything andeverything, whether it's in the
(23:02):
kitchen or in the boardroom.
The nice thing is that you canuse them either or, and they're
still going to be effective.
Camille (23:08):
Right, let's talk about
human design.
I know that's a big part ofyour business and your coaching,
and that you also do that forwomen and children, that you
actually will bring in thechildren scenario, which I find
fascinating.
I would love to hear more aboutthat.
Akari (23:26):
Human design has been
such a blessing for me because,
being the oldest daughter offive kids and not understanding
so many of the different thingsthat happened growing up, now I
can connect the dots and go oh,so my parents are both
manifesting generators, which isa hybrid.
(23:48):
Right, there's manifestors andthen there's generators.
Well, my parents were a hybrid,which means constant busyness,
so many projects, projects thatwent unfinished.
That would drive me crazy,because I am a generator and my
generator type likes to getthings done Like I like
(24:10):
completion.
So my parents were also verydefined.
So the centers, the chakracenters, were very defined,
which meant that their energywas fixed.
And I have a lot of openness,like you do with your projector
self.
I have a lot of openness.
So, if you were to take mysacral away, I am a splenic
(24:32):
projector, which is like mindblowing to me because I attract
a lot of splenic projectors inmy life, so that sacral gives me
a lot of fuel, a lot of energy.
But that openness means thatI'm receiving and broadcasting a
lot of energy from outsideinfluence.
(24:52):
So growing up with twomanifesting generators
constantly on the go was crazyfor me and they would exhaust me
.
Multitasking, you know, it'snot healthy for anyone, but I
found myself operating in thesame way because that's what I
knew.
Now, because of human design,I've learned to slow down and
(25:14):
I've learned to.
Yeah, I get frustrated veryeasily, but instead of quitting,
I give myself a timeout.
I can give myself some grace,knowing that this is who I am by
design, and it's okay.
And you know, generator typesand manifesting generators are
known to quit, and either wequit too soon or not soon enough
(25:36):
, and so it's really taught mehow to go about life, especially
if there's a project that I'mnot too excited about that maybe
I said yes too soon and knowingthat maybe that's not where I
need to be and it's okay, right,not over committing myself,
because I believe that a lot ofus who are in business, we tend
(26:00):
to over commit and overdo.
And that's when I look at thechart and I'm like, yeah, I need
to learn how to like value whatI do without needing to do more
, because that leads to burnout.
Oh yeah, definitely that leadsto burnout.
So bringing in this human designwith the children teaches you,
(26:23):
as a parent, what each childneeds individually, instead of
parenting either A the way wewere parented, or B the way we
needed to be parented right.
Those are like the two optionsthat we always kind of fall back
on.
It's the autopilot, but instead, as you're looking at your
(26:44):
children and you're learningwhat their energy levels are,
when you start to treat themaccording to their design, they
feel seen, they feel heard,right, and it's it's.
It's difficult when we havemany children.
You know, my mom always saidyou guys are all like my fingers
(27:05):
on my hand, you're alldifferent and you all have
different needs, but she didn'tknow how to like.
The overwhelm was real for herand she didn't really know how
to give us each what we needed,which is really interesting when
you look back, that we didn'thave the awareness and and we
knew as moms, intuitively, butwe didn't know.
(27:26):
And for me, applying this withmy daughter, who is a, her solar
plexus is defined, so she's an,an emotional person, meaning
she has emotional waves very intune with her emotions, and what
that means is that she jumpsfrom one emotion to the next
really quickly, because it's allvery easy.
And so one example that I haveis she was away in college and
(27:50):
she had had something happen.
So she calls me and she's justlike blah crying, and so of
course I'm in.
I'm you know she reeled me inwith the story I had bought in.
I'm like, ready to help.
And then all of a sudden shesays, oh, hold on, a minute, I'm
getting a text.
And she looks at her phone andshe says, oh, I got to go.
Someone's here, we're going tothe mall.
Camille (28:14):
Oh my gosh, you're like
wait, I'm invested, you got me
here.
What's happening?
Akari (28:18):
So invested, right, so
invested.
And before I would have takenit personal, I would have been
like you're so rude, why can't?
And so drama not needed.
I was able to dial my nervoussystem back in and be like all
right, sweetie, well, whenyou're ready to talk, call me
back.
And she went on with her lifeand I went on with my life.
(28:43):
But it was really a perfectmoment to have had this big,
explosive argument around.
What are you doing, like takingit personal instead of making
it about me, instead of givingher her moment.
Camille (28:56):
Right, that's a really
good example, because I think
that, as a parent, we absorb somuch of our children's needs and
emotions where we want to helpfix or or try to protect them
for any from hurt or ailment,when the majority of the time,
they simply want to be listenedto and to have a sounding board
(29:21):
with a uh-huh and tell me more,rather than let me fix this, you
know.
So that's.
That is a really, really goodexample of that.
Akari (29:31):
It's so powerful and and
I really give that credit to
human design, and so when I workwith women and I teach them
about their energetic blueprint,they understand how they need
support themselves.
Partner, the more you can givethem grace and the more you
don't take it personal.
Camille (29:48):
So, ironically, my
partner is a manifesting
generator, so of course hetriggers me, right, because he
reminds me of my mom.
Yes, that's really funny.
Akari (30:08):
And and so it's been
really fun.
Now, because I don't take itpersonal, it's by design, and so
he's got a bunch of projectsthat are unfinished, and so I
have learned to re-engage himinto the project, to be like hey
, together we can do this, andwhat ends up happening is he
just goes off and he does it.
So, learning to re-engage,learning to communicate in the
(30:32):
way that he understands, withoutfeeling threatened or feeling
like I'm judging him orcriticizing him about a project,
just re-engaging him.
Who would have known?
Camille (30:44):
I love that.
Yeah, that is a big, big deal.
This is making me reallycurious about my spouse and my
kids.
I'm like I need to look this upbecause I think it is
interesting thinking of projects.
There was one thing I did withmy husband recently where he
does not like DIY and I grew upin a family where we really bond
(31:06):
together through projects andconnections and fixing things
and making something better.
And he did not.
He's like we kicked it and itdidn't get better, and then we
went golfing or we went andplayed basketball or whatever.
Like that's just their lovelanguage.
So what I found and just thisis a new thing for us.
But I said, hey, what if onehour on a Saturday that is my
(31:29):
time to ask you to fix or do thething that is on my list and I
know it's not your list, butthat way it puts it in
parameters that is digestiblefor you and he agreed.
So I'm like I am curious,because that was something where
I kind of made it less of a.
If I ask you once, the asks keepcoming.
You know where I'm guilty ofthat, when I ask for something
(31:53):
and then he finally does thething.
And then I'm like, hey, andwhat about this, and what about
that, and what about this, whatabout that?
And so he can avoid that placejust by not getting into the
first place.
So putting the parameters ofthe one hour, and then we're
done.
But this is new.
So I'm like, huh, I wonder whatthe human design is of that
that made that other than justme thinking it's a fantastic
(32:16):
idea.
We'll see how that goes.
Akari (32:18):
But well, I think you you
nailed it right If, depending
on his design, and theconundrums on his chart,
sometimes overwhelm.
Camille (32:27):
Yeah.
Akari (32:27):
When we were, when we,
when we, when we did some work
in the house, the guys are likeokay, okay, so what colors do
you want to paint?
And I'm like, oh my god, thereare so many colors, can you give
me choices?
And they're like we're notdesigners.
And it's like oh my god, and soI just need three choices, and
(32:50):
if I don't like them, then youcan come back and give me three
more choices.
Otherwise I get into overwhelmand remember I will quit, right
Cause.
I'm a generator.
I'm like, I'm frustrated, Idon't want to deal with this.
So I think you asking a yes orno question and him being able
to go oh, I can do that, youknow it is it.
(33:11):
Is you understanding how to gethim to do things instead of
giving him the?
It's like it's too much?
No, yeah, Shutting down rightnow.
Yeah, that's really fascinating.
Camille (33:27):
Well, tell our audience
a little bit more about what it
is that you offer in way oflike connecting with you online
and, and if people want to diginto this more with you.
Akari (33:36):
Well, instagram is like
my place to hang out at.
I enjoy it and, uh, you know,it allows me to get creative
with my presentations and withwhat I want to do.
So Instagram is great.
Uh, my website is actuallygreat too.
There's a lot of informationthere that just kind of takes
you through what I offer.
(33:56):
I've resisted calling myself ahuman design reader because, to
me, like you do a tarot cardreading, and then what?
What do you do with thatinformation?
There's no structure, there'snothing there.
So, even though I refusecalling myself a human design
(34:16):
reader, I still offer readingsbecause I don't want to assume
that people actually want to dosomething about it.
People just want to know.
Camille (34:26):
They're curious to
understand and it is a different
language, because I I know thatonce you.
I feel like it's one of thosethings where if you understand
human design enough tounderstand there's a different
language to it.
You really have to get a bookor you have to have a coach or
you need someone who can kind ofbring you into the world of it.
Otherwise it is overwhelmingand there's just a lot to
(34:47):
understand about it.
So I think that that is veryrelatable.
Where it's like yeah, it's nota tarot card read.
Where it's like this and thatand see you later, like it
really is more involved.
Akari (34:59):
Well, and, and there's so
many layers of different onions
to peel.
Camille (35:06):
There's so many layers
to it, especially with
relationships and kids andunderstanding at home, business,
personal, professional like itcould go on so many layers yeah,
so many layers that you can gointo it's.
Akari (35:19):
It's.
It's great.
I think you have and, and andthe language thing is a thing
right.
So traditional human design wascreated in the eighties and it
was created to teach you who youare not.
So we refer to that not self asthe unconscious piece, as your
shadow space.
And then one of one of his, oneof his um teachers that he
(35:46):
taught, that he worked with whenhe passed away, when bra, who
created this canadian guy whocreated this, uh, in the 80s, he
passed away in 2011, and whenthat happened, she had a whole
download around.
What's next for human design andwhat was born from human design
(36:06):
, which is also very popular,are the gene keys, and richard
rd is still alive, so hecontinues to evolve with the
process.
She, karen Curry Parker,decided that she was going to
alter the work that she hadalready done and turn it into
the quantum space, so it's aninitiation from the traditional
(36:27):
to the quantum, and thebeautiful part of this is that
the language shifted.
So in traditional human design,you're a projector, and what he
meant by that is that youproject the energy of the room,
so you're absorbing all of thisenergy and you cannot make the
difference between your energyand the room's energy.
(36:49):
No-transcript point in the roomand you're like yeah, well, you
(37:19):
know it happens like, and sothat energy is so important to
understand because then you getto step away and know whether or
not you want to be a part of agroup or an event.
So in the quantum space we callthe projector the orchestrator,
(37:39):
and the orchestrator is the onethat organizes all of the
things based on the energy ofthe room.
But when you start steppinginto the space of I'm the one
orchestrating instead ofprojecting, there is such a big
shift in how you feel.
If you're the orchestrator andyou are orchestrating the energy
of the room, you're owning thatenergy, you're not projecting
(38:04):
that energy.
And then things start to shift alittle different.
There's a reframe with all ofthis.
There's a change in thenarrative of your story, and
that you don't really see intraditional human design,
although we talk about thedeconditioning component of it,
where we want to let go of otherpeople's beliefs that we have
brought on.
Like I said earlier, we havethis belief that if it's not
(38:26):
hard, it's not going to work.
So deconditioning from that andunderstanding that it could be
very simple and very gentle andit could actually be really fun
to go through.
The process allows us to growin a way that doesn't feel heavy
, and so that's what I find withquantum human design.
So in traditional human design,I'm the generator, and the way
(38:50):
it was explained to me, whichwas so not sexy, was I am the
slave of the world.
Yeah right, no one wants tohear that.
So I'm the generator.
I'm here to generate energybecause of my sacral energy.
So in quantum human design, Iam the alchemist.
I create things.
You come to me and you say Ireally want to build this, and
(39:12):
I'll say okay, how soon do youwant it done?
And I get it done.
So I am here to master the workthat I love, which is so
different from being a slave ofthe world.
Camille (39:25):
Oh yeah, you get it
done.
Yeah, that's much moreempowering and and in lifting
with what you want to do and seehappen empowering and and in
lifting with what you want to doand see happen.
Akari (39:37):
Yeah, so each of them
have a place.
Right, the traditional I usebecause it's what's mainstream
now, what people understand, butthen, when we start to go into
the deeper work of it, isempowering you to want to be in
the highest expressions of whoyou are yourself.
Permission, their permissionslips, because you already knew
inside that you have these gifts.
(39:58):
But the shadow is so muchlouder and we see it even in our
lives every day.
Right, the news doesn't haveanything positive to say, ever
no.
So having having that noiselike calm down and allowing that
highest expression to take upspace allows us to be, allows us
(40:20):
to show up in a better way.
And understanding that, ifsomeone is having a moment and
they're not showing up in theirbest self, they're showing up in
their best self.
They're showing up messy.
It's understanding that, a it'sby design.
B their nervous system ispretty messed up and they need
some help.
(40:41):
Or C it's none of my business,I'm not going to even get
involved.
I'm going to be in my happybubble and I'm moving on with my
life.
Camille (40:51):
That's really
empowering.
I think that you are helpingwomen to see where their
strengths are and making it feeleasier because they're
simplifying it into not onlyaccepting the design quote or
quote flaws that we have thatit's okay to need the time to
take the space to protect whoyou are and to honor those
(41:14):
bursts of energy when they come,depending on you know whatever
it is that you have within you.
So I really appreciate that.
Akari (41:21):
Well, human design is a
tool that helps us in the
evolution of who we want to be,and you know my, my particular
life and sole purpose, which iscalled the Incarnation Cross, my
personal one, is to help peoplechange the narrative of their
life, move from victimhood intothat empowered self, and so I
(41:44):
think that's why it is so easyand so passionate for me to
shift that, because I was ableto shift my narrative right.
I come from a large family andI am the oldest of that family
but I'm also an only child.
So my mother and my dadseparated and then they both
(42:06):
remarried and so there was a lotof things that I went through
feeling detached from my dad,not feeling heard from my mom,
because then she started a wholeother family.
So there's a lot of things thatkind of kept.
Like you said earlier, it's thebrain had like this rerun of a
novel of being the victim, andso shifting from that victimhood
(42:30):
into the empowered woman that Iam because I was born Like,
that in and of itself is amiracle, and we don't see it as
that because our awarenesshasn't gotten to that space.
So having gone through it givesme a lot of passion to help
(42:51):
others get there, because we getstuck in our stories and we
continue to get into that habit.
But again, it's a loop.
It's a loop in our brainbecause of that neural pathway.
We continue to strengthen it,we continue to take it to the
gym right, it's a big muscle.
So it's about disrupting andreally hacking the brain right,
(43:14):
going into that brain and reallygoing.
Okay, we've got to changewhat's going on here because
it's not conducive.
It's not allowing me to be thehappy, joyful human being that I
am here to be, and that is mygoal.
My goal of transformation isabout transforming that trauma
story that you have intosomething more beautiful,
(43:36):
something more in line with whoyou are meant to be.
Camille (43:42):
I love that.
I love this conversation.
There's so much more we coulddig into.
I'm like okay, so quantum,you're talking past lives, right
?
Is that what you mean byquantum?
Or what do you mean by quantumthe?
Akari (43:54):
quantum is the space of
possibility, it's just so much
possibility, right we can we cango into past lives and that's
like a whole other other item,right?
Because when we're talkingabout deconditioning, how do we
get conditioned?
We get conditioned by theimprint from our parents, we get
conditioned by genetics and nowwe understand epigenetics.
(44:17):
So, like you were saying,there's, there's, there's
reactions that we have that areso Neanderthal because it's in
our DNA.
Camille (44:27):
Yes, yes.
Akari (44:29):
So we're never going to
be able to fully let go of that.
We get conditioned by lifeexperiences and we get
conditioned by, you know, whatwe've grown up with like, what
did we watch when we were young?
We have this belief that it had.
The house has to be like thisyou have to have two dogs and
you have to have, like, two kids, a house, a man, like, like all
(44:49):
these different things.
But that's not even true.
We can have whatever it is thatfeels good for us.
We don't need to be fed what weneed to be doing.
We need to be allowed todiscover what feels good for us.
And that's the conditioningcomponent that we're trying to
get rid of, those beliefs thatcome passed down from generation
(45:12):
to generation.
And that's why I say my work isreally foundational, because we
work through all of that, andthe way we work through all of
that is through a.
There's an amazing modality thatwas created in Germany.
They're called familyconstellations.
Have you heard of them?
So family constellations goesinto your family system to put
(45:37):
things in order, because ifthere is an absent father, and
let's say there are fourchildren and maybe the youngest
is the boy, the mother willsometimes grab that boy and turn
him into the man of the house,the one responsible for the home
.
So all of a sudden he goes frombeing the youngest to taking
(46:02):
the spot of the father, whichdoes not belong to him, because
then he, instead of being abrother to siblings, he becomes
the father to siblings, and wesee that often.
So when he's out of his place,the energy in that dynamic
changes, and so we need to putthat energy back into place, and
(46:23):
so that's really.
That has really been the magicof the transformation that we go
through, because it's nervoussystem work.
But then it's also rearrangingthe energy and letting go of
these thoughts that I have to bethis for my mom.
Well, if you have to be thatfor your mom, then that means
that you are her, you are hermom, which means that you're
taking your grandmother's place,and that is not your place.
(46:46):
Your place is as a daughter,and all of that has been so
instrumental for me Because, asI was telling you earlier, it's
like there's I could be mydaughter's best friend.
She could never be my bestfriend.
It doesn't work that wayEnergetically.
It would be so much to put onher, and the same thing with
(47:08):
with the energy that we'retalking about.
As far as where do I belong?
So sometimes my mother willbecome a little codependent and
I just have to say you're themom, I'm the daughter, you're
the mom Because that isinteresting when it gets.
Camille (47:23):
I think when you get in
that sandwich generation of
aging parents and young kids andhaving to kind of I think in
the end, kids and having to kindof, I think in the end, as you
age out of this earth, you dobecome like a child where you
need help with eating andbathroom and and that's a very
interesting situation to be in,because but I think, but I think
(47:47):
when we, when we learn how torespect our spaces in the system
, learn how to respect ourspaces in the system, then you
get to choose out of your heartto be compassionate enough to
care, to be that caregiver.
Yes, it is a completelydifferent space.
It's not thrust upon you in theway of like obligation, it's
(48:07):
not obligation.
Akari (48:08):
It's like it really.
You know, my parents have beenso kind and so generous and so
loving that I want to give back,and what a privilege it is to
be able to caretake for myparents.
And so for me it's like.
I love having conversationswith my mom.
I went no contact with her forso many years and human design
helped me realize that she iswho she is by design.
(48:30):
It wasn't like she was tryingto do these things purposely,
that she is who she is by design.
It wasn't like she was trying todo these things purposely, so
it allowed me to.
It allowed me to step intoforgiveness in a way that I've
never been able to with all thework that I've done.
It is through human design thatI realized it's not personal.
This is who she is, and now,when I take her to the doctor,
(48:52):
when I help her arrange her meds, when I speak to her, it really
comes from a place of I want to, not because I have to, and
which is a much healthier placefor everyone, right?
Camille (49:06):
Well, this has been so
fascinating.
I really appreciate you sharingeverything and being here today

Camille (49:32):
More on.
Akari (49:32):
Instagram.
More on Instagram Breathwork.
You know I don't have a lot ofpeople that say, oh, I want to
do a session with Breathwork.
I think I use it with mycoaching because, again,
Breathwork is just so lifechanging if you have the support
and you have a framework behindit, versus just doing
(49:54):
breathwork as a one-off.
I think that the practice of it, the ritual of it, is what
really creates that expansion.
Camille (50:02):
