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

🌀 Manifestor: Initiator
⚡ Generator: Builder
🚀 Manifesting Generator: Multi-faceted powerhouse
🔮 Projector: Guide
🌙 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:

Everything is energy.
When you master your energy, you master your life.

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

🌀 Manifestor: The Initiators!

Manifestors are the kings and queens of the world with a direct line to the universe. You are here to create, initiate, blaze trails, throw out the status quo, break cycles, and step into your divinely protected and regal essence.

Manifestors are the initiators. They get the ball rolling, and everyone else is inspired to follow along.

Core Manifestor Truths

They thrive when: They follow their urges without waiting for permission or invitations.
They manifest with ease by: Informing people of the dreams they are chasing and what they are up to so the right people will get on board and the wrong people will get out of the way. (Strategy)
They know they are aligned when: They feel peace. (Signature)
They know they are not aligned when: They feel anger. (Not-Self Theme)
The universe sees them as: Bestie on speed dial.
Superpower: Speaking their dreams into existence.
Fuel to their superpower: So so so so, and I cannot emphasize this enough, SO much rest, words of affirmation, really meaningful compliments, aligned acts of service/gifts, and clear boundaries.
Their deepest desire: To make their own rules, create a life they love, and enjoy it all in peace with the people they truly care about.

What Drains and Blocks Manifestors

Things they absolutely hate (loathing, unADULTERated LOATHING): Being controlled, blocked, micromanaged, or having authority figures try to design their life for them. They are also very selective about who they want in their orbit, and they should be.
What burns them out: Not being able to create on their own terms. Being forced to act like a Generator (one of the other energy types) and work on a 9-5 clock like a drone. Not enough me time. (And I’m telling you--they need and deserve A LOT of me time.)
What blocks their flow and manifestation power:
- The belief that they are bad at manifesting
- The belief that they are victims and the world happens to them
- Feeling reliant on others for success or wealth
- Feeling unworthy of their wildest dreams
- Believing they have to wait for permission to take action
- Holding back from speaking highly of themselves, their dreams, their desires, for fear of judgment
- Thinking they must maintain certain relationships to get ahead, (or even to have their basic needs met)

Healing for Manifestors

If you’re reading all of this and feeling like, wait, I am not powerful. I can’t manifest sh*t. I do all these things, I am a confident person but I just don’t feel good about life in general, you most likely were taught to shut off your Manifestor gifts at a young age.

Manifestors often need to heal their inner child. Many Manifestors learned early in life that playing small, staying quiet, or shrinking themselves provided safety and likeability. This is especially true if you started to use your independence, creativity and informing strategy early on and the adults around you felt like it was a threat to their own authority over you. Of course parents want to keep you safe, but maybe your caregivers exerted a lot of control (or even belittling) to you as a Manifestor child as a way to “keep you in line.”

Many Manifestors who do not feel powerful or carry limiting beliefs because they experienced resistance from others when they tried to play big. Growing up the core belief become "to be small is to be liked."

This belief of “BE SMALL” then got applied to every part of their humanity: voice, ideas, waistline, smile, suggestions, dreams, and decisions.

But their true gift is to shine so brightly that they absolutely repel some people but also attract the most beautiful souls on the planet. Their polarity is important because they aren’t meant to be liked by everyone. They are meant to inspire those you are kind and like-minded and who also want to play big!

Lesson for the Healing Manifestor

You are not a victim. Let the world misunderstand you and watch how it rearranges in your favor when you fully decide you don’t give a HOOT what anyone else thinks. There are far more people who will get you, embrace you, and cherish you once you turn your swag (energy) all the way on.
