Why your Human Design insights can help you make better decisions for yourself

 

 

Human Design is a self awareness tool, it is here to help you understand yourself and your soul journey in this lifetime. Your Human Design chart is an energetic map and user guide of what your soul signed up to learn, as well as the gifts you are here to bring into the world within this lifetime. Your Human Design chart is imprinted in the moment that you are born, and your chart contains your genetic codes and energetic gifts. It tells the story of who you truly are and how you can live a life that is in alignment – giving you a map and user guide of your own nature.

Understanding your design gives you permission to embrace your own path, knowing that you are not here to compare your journey to anyone else’s, you are here to be your unique authentic self, giving you permission to let go of the conditioning you may have picked up along the way. It encourages you to lean into who you are designed to be, embrace your natural gifts and stop agonising about who or what you are not.

When you learn about your Human Design, you aren't going to learn anything shocking or anything you didn't know about yourself. The information will make sense and will likely make you feel at home. It is not here to say you need to change anything about yourself, it is here to show you your energy's highest potential, a remembrance of who you are before the world told you that you needed to be another way. It will spark a deep inner knowing and cultivate a relationship with yourself that you might not have had before.

Human Design is a lived experiment, solely focused on unlearning how you think you ‘should’ be and embodying who you came here to be.

 

 

One of the first things you will learn about your Human Design chart is what your Energy/Aura type is, you will either be a Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Manifesting Generator or a Reflector. Your aura type refers to how you energetically meet the world with the least amount of resistance. It tells you how you are built to use, express and exchange your energy with others.

Each type has a different ‘Strategy’ to let you know the best way to navigate any given situation. There are 5 different strategies in the Human Design system, and they all involve waiting. You won’t always get it right, your body knows what's best, and every moment is a chance to experiment.

In this life we are taught to often be available for every single opportunity, to go out there and make something of ourselves, to make it happen for ourselves, to put ourselves out there. While this advice can be correct for a few, if it is not for everyone, and not even on a practical level but on an energetic level.

 

 

 

Generators (approx. 70% of the population) are here to wait to respond (their aura is open, magnetising and enveloping, when they are doing what they love, they magnetise opportunities to respond to).

Manifesting Generators (approx. 35% of the population) are here to wait to respond AND inform (their aura is like that of the Generator but are designed to be efficient and work faster)

Manifestors (approx. 9% of the population) are here to inform and initiate (their aura is dense and protective, they will feel a creative urge and the desire to initiate it, as long as they inform others along the way, it is correct for them to start things).

Projectors (approx. 18% of the population) are here to wait for the invitation (their aura is focused and has a way of seeing deeply into another, a sense of appreciation and an invitation ensures they are saying yes to aligned opportunities with the people who want to receive their wisdom).

Reflectors (approx. 1% of the population) are here to wait a lunar cycle (they have a sampling aura, here to take in the energy of another and mirror it back, they need 28 days to feel through a decision as they will feel different each day).

The second most important thing you will learn about your chart is what is called your ‘Authority’. Your Human Design Authority is the way you are designed to make decisions. It is about trusting the wisdom of your body and moving away from making decisions with the mind (where we have been conditioned to make decisions from). There are 7 different types of Authorities in the Human Design system.

We often hear things like ‘trust your gut,’ ‘follow your heart,’ ‘don’t think with your emotions,’ but this advice isn’t actually meant for everyone. Not all of us are meant to trust our gut, some of us need to wait for emotional clarity, some of us need to speak and to hear ourselves, while others need to be in the right environment to tune in. We are all deeply unique and individual, and our Authority is how our body informs us of what is correct for us when making a decision.

If you’ve been following Human Design for a while, or even if you’re new, you will likely have heard people say “Follow your Strategy and Authority” over and over again and there is a good reason for this. The whole idea when you are working with your energy type, your strategy and your authority is that you are working with the energy of the universe. You end up being guided towards the people, places, opportunities and experiences that are meant for you.

Human Design can be very complex and deep, but if you’re following your strategy and authority, then the rest of your design, with all the nuanced and deep information, will simply flow because you are flowing with life and the way you are meant to engage and interact with it.

When you begin to implement these tools in your life, you begin to experience changes on an energetic, physical and spiritual level. You start to trust, surrender and live life the way your soul intended. But don't take my word for it. I encourage you to experiment for yourself, so that you can experience the transformation that it can bring you, as it has for myself and many others.
