The collective energy that can be felt from June 24th to June 30th is the 52nd Gene Key—the shadow of stress, the gift of restraint, and the siddhi of stillness.
This week, journeying with this Gene Key has felt like a de-programming of systems and programs that have been automatically running in the background that I didn’t even fully notice until moving through the contemplation of this key.
This key is all about the natural timing of life and at the shadow level there is a deep distrust of the rhythms and flow of life.
In my own life I began to see this programming in the area of my daily planners. I have both a personal and a business planner and within each I was writing lists of what HAD to be done each day—judging myself and feeling like I didn’t do “good” enough unless everything had been checked off by the end of the day and sometimes when I’d reach the end of each day I would see what I had left and force myself through the tasks which ended up feeling like a chore.
The gift this key gave me this week is both the discovery and remembrance that I can “allow my life to unfold without urgent demand,” and that, “nature never rushes yet everything gets done.”
I am nature, you are nature, this is your reminder too.
There is an example of this within The Gene Keys book and it goes—
This Gift concerns your own trust in life. To begin anything, you must first have a clear intention. The more selfless your intention, the more power it will have. If you begin with the right intention, then everything will follow, but you must resist the temptation to interfere with the process out of fear.
The intention is the seed, and the seed contains all the necessary ingredients and properties that will be needed in the journey ahead. The seed even contains the specific fragrances that will attract the right allies at the right times. It is also true to say that the greater the power, the longer it takes to germinate.
The seed of a yew tree and the seed of a sunflower are similar in size. However, whilst the sunflower will grow to its full size within the space of a few months, the yew tree has depth and complexity and will begin at a different pace and follow its own timing.
It may take ten years just to reach the height of a sunflower, but it may live as long as five thousand years. So, it is with all human ideas and actions.
— Richard Rudd, The Gene Keys (pg. 404)
Through contemplating the gift of restraint, instead of writing a list of things I HAVE to do the next day (coming from the frequency of the shadow of stress) I’ve been experimenting with waking up and asking myself these two questions instead:
What do I need today?
What does my business need today?
I’ve created a list of practices I get to return to both personally and related to my business and have been choosing from those lists each day according to what my body tells me it needs.
This in itself has connected me with my body on a deeper level because I’m consciously checking and feeling into it to receive the answer of what it is I do need.
This practice comes from Getting to Center by Marlee Grace, whom is now Cody-Cook Parrot—they write the Substack, Monday Monday, and if you aren’t subscribed yet, you should as it is such a creative treat.
I have been reading their book slowly this week and it perfectly aligned with the practical medicine I needed to integrate this key on a deeper level through embodied practice.
Here is my personal list, so you can see what it looks like so far—
The siddhi of stillness reminds me of the nothingness in the everything and the everything in the nothingness—the ultimate paradox but a core source of beingness that we all collectively know and are encoded with on a deeper genetic level.
If you haven’t contemplated this Gene Key yet we do move into a new Gene Key tomorrow, July 1st but the collective energy can still be felt a day or two after.
I have shared videos on both my TikTok and Instagram of quotes from the shadow, gift, and siddhi if you’d like to go take a listen and feel into the energies of the frequency bands of this key for yourself.
I have pulled a card from my Runes of the Northern Light deck for the Substack collective who read this very entry and the card that came out was complementary of Gene Key 52; I love when things line up like this.
The rune that came out is Jera, and I’ll share the entry on this rune from The Book of Runes by Ralph Blum—
Harvest
Fertile Season
One YearA rune of beneficial outcomes, Jera applies to any activity or endeavor to which you are committed. Be aware, however, that no quick results can be expected. A span of time is always involved; hence the key words “one year,” symbolizing a full cycle before the reaping, the harvest or deliverance.
You have prepared the ground and planted the seed. Now you must cultivate with care. To those whose labor has a long season, a long coming to term, Jera offers encouragement of success. Know that the outcome is in the keeping of Providence and continue to persevere.
Remember the old story about the farmer who was so eager to assist his crops that he went out at night and tugged on the shoots. There is no way to push the river; equally you cannot hasten the harvest. Be mindful that patience is essential for the recognition of your own process which, in its season, leads to the harvest of the self.
— Ralph Blum, The Book of Runes
I’d love to know if any of this resonates with you, and if you’ve felt these energies yourself week whether or not you contemplated this key.
