Human Design Is Your Energetic Cheat Code: Generator Edition

Introduction to Human Design

There are a million different ways to manage your energy, de-stress, and take your power back. But I want to share one of the most empowering tools that changed everything for me at a pivotal point in my transformation journey. ✨Human Design✨

Learning my Human Design hit me differently than enneagram, Myers Briggs, Strengths Finder, and all the VERY relatable, spot-on Libra Pinterest posts combined. 

What is Human Design?

Human Design is your energy blueprint. It’s part personality test, part spiritual science, and part permission slip to operate in a way that is completely unique to you. It combines astrology, the chakra system, Kabbalah, quantum physics, and the I Ching to map out how your energy works in the world.

When I learned my energy type, strategy, and not-self themes, I kid you not, I was shook to my core. Suddenly, I understood why my life had unfolded the way it did. And more importantly why I felt so STUCK!

I was in a never ending cycle of asking myself these questions:

• Why do I  need so much more rest than everyone else around me (👉🏻 normal for a Mani Gen)

• Why I can’t I just pick one path and stick to it (👉🏻 again, normal for a Mani Gen)

• Why is it so hard to articulate what I want (👉🏻 wasn't using my strategy "to respond")

• Why do certain things feel wrong, but all I can use to defend myself is it doesn’t make my tummy feel good (👉🏻 Sacral Authority is black and white and only speaks in "mhm!" or "uh-uh")

• Why I hated being told what to do or rarely sought people out for advice--despite feeling like I should (👉🏻 Single Definition peeps have access to all their gifts, they only people they need are folks with immaculate energy)

I finally saw how my environment, ubringing, corporate america and society convinced me that the way my brain, heart, body and SOUL worked was a weakness. In reality, I am a unicorn with actual magical superpowers.

And I want to give you that same gift.

What Are The Energy Types In Human Design

1. 🌀 Manifestor: Initiator

2. ⚡ Generator: Builder

3. 🚀 Manifesting Generator: Multi-faceted powerhouse

4. 🔮 Projector: Guide

5. 🌙 Reflector: Cosmic Mirror

Every person operates within one of these five energy types, each with its own strengths, challenges, and best way of moving through the world. If you want to stop just managing your emotions and energy and start owning your energy, Human Design is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed.

You can find your energy type simply by googling a Human Design body graph generator and inputting your birth details. Seriously, go look it up. And while it’s great to know your own type, I highly recommend learning a little about all of them because we are all unique, and what works for someone else will not necessarily work for you.

If you know nothing about Human Design, you are in the right place!! I will be sharing the alignment codes for each design type over the next few days. Definitely zone in on your type but take a gander at the others so you can feel VALIDATED that you aren’t supposed to operate like everyone.

We’re often taught that there is one way to manifest your dream life, accelerate your career, find your soulmate. The motto is: success comes to those who work hard and get after it. But it completely leaves out:

• HOW to work smarter and not harder

• HOW to decide what the dream is

• HOW to act in alignment so it comes to you with ease 

Learning your Human Design doesn’t mean life is never hard. Think of it as bringing awareness to your operating system and getting the manual for your internal iOS. Learning your design is just the cheat code to doing and manifesting whatever you want with more ease. 

With that in mind, remember these two key things about the universe before you proceed:

1. Everything is energy.

2. When you master your energy, you master your life. 

So let’s dive into one of the types: Generators! 

⚡ Generators: The Builders!

Generators, you are the builders, the creators, the life force, passion and backbone of the universe. You are meant to create energy and share it with everyone else. When you do what you love, everyone benefits. You are undeniably magnetic when you're in your power and flow! You're unstoppable and can build/create anything you want. When you're in that type of flow, people draw excitement and their own energy, motivation and inspiration from you! People can't help but to love you!

Generators are the creators. They light up the universe when they are doing full-body YES work.

Core Generator Truths

• They thrive when: They follow their passions and not the passions of others. 

• They manifest with ease by: Responding to the buffet of options the universe puts in front of them. They aren’t meant to decide what they want out of nowhere. They use the universe to decide what they love and what they don’t love. (Strategy)

• They know they are aligned when: they feel satisfaction. (Signature)

• They know they are NOT aligned when: they feel frustration. (Not Self Theme)

• The Universe would agree that: You get the People’s Choice Award for Most Passionate

• Superpower: Creating a dream life from repeated “hell yes” decisions and lighting up the world with their magic. 

• Fuel to their superpower: A glamorous and regular bedtime routine. People who encourage them to use their gut to make decisions instead of their mind. SO MUCH PLAY TIME. Ample time to play, sing, dance, exercise, move, giggle, create. Confident “no” to things they just really don’t wanna do. 

• Their deepest desire: permission to fill up their own cup before everyone else’s, have plenty of options that light them up, to do meaningful work they are OBSESSED with, to laugh and do exciting things 

What Drains and Blocks Generators 

Things they absolutely hate (loathing, unADULTERated LOATHING): A long to-do list of meaningless, “cog in the machine” tasks, using their energy to do what everyone else wants/needs, 

What burns them out: just going through the motions, rushing to accomplish a hundred things for a hundred people and doing nothing for themselves or their passions,  

What blocks their flow and manifestation power: 

• Putting to much weight on praise from people for doing things they actually don’t want to do

• Fear that if they say no to things, they won’t be busy enough to be worthy of good things

• Fear that if they are alone with their own thoughts for too long they won’t be able to face their true feelings or admit their desires.

• Fear that they can’t actually do what lights them up because it won’t make them money or they’ll be judged

• Making decisions based on their mind and not with their gut

• Overusing logic to talk themselves out of doing what they really want to do

• “Should-ing” themselves into a massive, never ending to do list

Healing for Generators:

Generators often need to heal: their inner child who learned that playing, singing, dancing and exciting things were frivolous and a waste of time. Generators who don’t feel excited about their life or the work they’re doing have limiting beliefs around what is possible for them if they follow their joy. They don’t trust that doing what is exciting will lead to success. They think they MUST do certain things and check certain boxes because that’s what the world tells them they need to do AND they are praised for doing it that way! So they have a core belief that praise, compliments, love, and worth are derived from doing crap for everyone else. But the truth is, the straightest path towards success, happiness, and satisfaction is doing more of what they love. 

Lesson for the Healing Generator

When you are lit up, you light up everyone around you without even trying. It benefits the whole world for you to follow your joy. It’s actually selfish NOT to do what you love and stay in the frequency of lackluster greyness. And the things that bring you the most excitement are not random. You can trust your bliss. You can trust that it is safe to say no to things that suck your soul and yes to things that feel like magic.
