What is Human Design? And why should I care?

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 personal energy blueprint.

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 tells you how to listen to your intuition and how to turn up the volume

• It decodes your “vibe”— what other people feel when you walk into the room

• It explains why it feels like you’re excessively busy, exhausted, but have nothing to show for it…

  
  

...and most importantly, how to change that.

Spoiler: You’re not weird. You’re WIRED in a very specific way. And you’re not meant to chase your dreams like everyone else is.

It’s based on your birth details, rooted in quantum mechanics and energy science.

It combines astrology, the chakra system, Kabbalah, quantum physics, and the I Ching to map out how your energy works in the world.

Coming from a girl who believed in astrology but couldn’t figure it out because it was so complex…. Human Design gives those elements a structure that just makes sense.

It’s the “get unf*cked and unstuck” cheat code.

Human Design helped me 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:

• Why am I surrounded by people and sh*t that drives me nuts?

• Why am I chronically exhausted by work?

• Why is it so hard to articulate what I want?

• Why does it all feel so wrong but all I can use to defend myself is it doesn’t make my tummy feel good?

• I wonder what it’s like to not be tired all the time.

I finally saw how my environment, upbringing, corporate america and society convinced me to think and behave in a way that is unnatural to my true operating system.

Your Human Design is organized in a body graph chart with various energetic elements.

You can use my free body chart generator here to find out your design. It will look something like this:

Cray, right? Don't freak out. It looks more chaotic than it is. There are many elements of your chart that work together. But for the purposes of this discussion let’s talk about arguably the most important piece: your type.

Human Design Energy Type:

If Human Design is a phone… your energy type is the phone model. Each type is powered differently, has different battery life, and has a specific “way of working.” The iPhone Pro doesn’t work the same way an Android does or a Nokia. (This is not to say that any of the design types are as ancient and useless as the Noika…. Just go with the metaphor okkk?)

The main point to remember is that your Type is how your energy ebbs and flows.

There are five energy types in Human Design.

🌀 Manifestor aka the Initiator:

• Designed to start the fire, follow their urges, and trailblaze for the rest of us but only in bursts and not for extended periods of time. They are trains on a track or they are no where to be found and that’s the way it’s gotta be!

  
  

⚡ Generator aka the Builder:

• Designed to create life force energy and go-go-go but only if they find their tasks meaningful and enjoyable. Otherwise, they will drag themselves through life, chronically frustrated.

🚀 Manifesting Generator aka the Multi-faceted Powerhouse:

• Designed to move at warp speed and participate in many passions at once. They are a manifestor/generator combo and can burnout if they aren’t excited AF about life or they are force to be a uni-tasker.

  
  

🔮 Projector aka the Guide:

• Designed to be a guide for the rest of us, always flying above the trees, seeing the whole picture and the system that’s most effective for longevity and happiness. They need excessive amounts of rest and will whither away if they are forced to work a 40+ hour work week.

  
  

🌙 Reflector aka the Cosmic Mirror:

• Designed to reflect the health and wellness of their communities and improve our welfare. But if they are surrounded by the wrong people and the wrong things, they will live life in epic disappointment.

When you start living according to your design, life gets infinitely better. As they say, "don't trust it, try it."
