Name Numerology: Understand what it means and how to calculate your Number

Have you heard about Name Numerology? It can reveal a lot about you because from it we can discover our Expression Number, which is one of the most important numbers when we learn more about ourselves. This vibration speaks of our strengths, those abilities that we already bring from other lives.

I usually say that numbers linked to our full birth name speak of the "toolbox" we bring to face the challenges of destiny. They are our abilities, our most intimate potential, our deepest desires, those that many times not even the people around us can understand.

Name Numerology has so much influence on our lives that it shows us personality traits, way of thinking, and acting in the world. Therefore, when people read their personal numerological chart, they are scared by such a "coincidence".

The way we act, think, and feel is expressed in this vibration has a name that is expressed by a number. And that number is the essence of BEING.

What we believe, our belief system, and the way of perceiving life have a direct influence on our personal numbers and these reveal the tendencies and learning that we will have.

It is important to remember that a single number will not determine our personality. So, it's important to analyze all the numbers in the personal numerological map, thus making it possible to see the BEING in an integral way, deeply understanding everything that needs to be transformed and recognized.

The numbers are neutral, that is, they have characteristics and these can be manifested constructively or not, it all depends on how the person chooses to manifest them. We all have free will so knowing yourself is so important. In this way, we can understand our internal motivations and improve what needs to be improved. After all, it is only possible to change what we become aware of, right?!

The Expression Number is calculated from the person's full BIRTH name.

One should always use the birth name for this calculation, even when there are later name changes because, for numerology, numbers are vibrational frequencies, so what counts is the energy of the number generated by the name and not the name itself. So even if the person changes his name later, the vibration of his expression number will always be his birth registration name.
