Live from your Nature

Your body already knows who you are.

It moves, breathes, and connects in a way that’s uniquely yours — a reflection of your Natural Number.

Find out how your body is naturally designed  – get your Natural Number Identified.

What is a Natural Number?

A Natural Number describes the way your body is naturally designed to move, perceive, and engage with the world.

In the Body of 9 system, there are nine distinct Natural Numbers — nine different physical presentations of the human body. Each one reflects a unique way of processing information, communicating, building relationships, and accessing strength.

Your Natural Number is not something you learn or develop over time.
It is part of your nature — present from birth.

Nature vs. Nurture

Your nature is your Natural Number — the core design of how your body functions and expresses itself.

Your nurture is how life shapes you:

  • your upbringing

  • family dynamics

  • culture

  • education

  • life experiences

While nurture influences how we adapt and respond to the world, it can sometimes cover over our natural design.

Understanding your Natural Number helps uncover that original design so you can reconnect with your authentic strengths and natural way of being.

Systems of Nine Have Long Been Part of Our Human Awareness

The numerological significance, the symmetry and symbolism of 1 through 9, have been reflected historically in cultures and systems around the world such as the Egyptian Ennead, the nine Norse Gods, the nine-pointed star used in both Christianity and the Bahai Faith.

Today the nine are seen in systems like the Enneagram, Human Design, and other personality models.

A Body-Based System for Human Understanding

Many personal growth systems focus only on the mind or personality.
The Body of 9 begins with the body itself.

Because your Natural Number is expressed physically, it provides a grounded way to understand human differences — not as flaws, but as natural variations in how we are designed to move through life.

When your Natural Number is activated, you gain access to your innate strength, clarity, and presence.

Body of 9’s Natural Number identification method is based on years of research, working hand-to-hand with over 9,000 people, carefully distilling the wisdom of each Natural Number. 

The physical aspect of our human expression we now call Body of 9 was first noticed using a combination of nine Enneagram groupings and Aikido Martial Arts exercises.

Systems of nine Body of 9

Susan and Martin Fisher, Co-founders of Body of 9, found a calling to research and understand the manifestation and implications of this recognition of our human experience.

Since then, both have dedicated their time, energy, and resources to:

  • Working with and talking to as many people as possible – their research has spanned 9,000 people, 50+ countries, all races, and dozens of ethnicities.
  • Cataloging and studying the physical and related personality characteristics.
  • Writing about and teaching others to understand the 9 Natural Numbers and to activate all nine regions in their bodies.

Everyone has a Natural Number.
