I love Human Design. It’s a system that tells us who we are, what we came here to do and what our highest potential looks like. It is somewhat complicated to learn. It isn’t as mainstream (yet) as astrology. It incorporates astrology and iching systems. My focus is on the parts of the system where your understanding can lead to the biggest changes in your life and the way you show up in your life and relationships. It can get very deep, very quickly, but that information, while cool to know, can be more nuanced than you really need to make a difference in your every day life. I like to tell clients and friends that the world tells us all day long what is wrong about us and Human Design tells us what is right about us - what our gifts are.
On Thursdays each week, I will release a new post about an aspect of Human Design. I will continue through until I have exhausted my knowledge (or interest) in the topic.
You start out by getting your chart. There are a number of great Human Design chart calculators out there. Most of them are free. They are so plentiful I am not going to bother referring you to one. Search online and you’ll find a dozen.
The biggest part of your chart will be the Energy Type. There are 5 of them: Generators, Manifesting Generators, Manifestors, Reflectors and Projectors. I will write about each of them in separate posts because understanding even this piece can make life so much easier for you. What your energy type tells you is where you get your energy (self- generated or from others), it is your unique way of operating in the world through your energy levels, pattens and ways of resting and doing. This is an important section of your chart because society tells us we are successful by being forceful and “making things happen” but if you are a Projector, you are only going excel at making yourself feel bitter and resentful if you operate that way. If you are a Generator, you won’t be helping anyone if whatever you are doing isn’t exciting to you. It is in this section that you can do some heavy lifting in removing societal programs designed to keep us exhausted and always chasing.
Next up is our Strategy. This tells us how to make things happen for ourselves. I will get into this in more detail with the energy types because they are specific to the energy type.
Then we have our Authority. This tells us how to best make decisions. It is also tied to our energy type but there is overlap between the types. They are: Emotional Authority (how we feel about it), Sacral Authority (gut intuition), Splenic Authority (instinctive intuition), Ego Authority (your wanting is your intuition),G Center Authority (sounding board intuition), Mental Authority (what makes sense to you is your intuition), Lunar Authority (time will tell). I will explain more about these in future posts.
Your Profile - this is your personality. How you see yourself and how others see you. There are 12 different combinations. I won’t list them here but will get into each of them in a future post.
And, the last portion of the chart I work with is your Cross of Incarnation. This is a combination of your top four gifts and is considered to be your life purpose or your life theme.
The combination of just these parts of your chart can completely change the course of your life. In this series, I will get into all of this information and how they can help you. I am excited to share all of this information with you.
I do offer what I call Lite Human Design Reports that are 8 or 9 pages of information specific to you. I only offer them at various times of the year and only in limited availability. They are $35 and you get the report emailed to you. All you need is your date, time and place of birth. If you don’t have the time, we can still get you the bulk of the information that will be helpful to you. It is just the more nuanced and unique-to-you information that is dependent on having all of this information. In my reports I also include additional information such as your most dominant sense, your digestion and more. As a special gift for subscribing to this newsletter, I will open my availability up for 1 or 2 reports a week throughout this series. So, if you are curious about diving deeper into your own chart, you can claim one of these spots by sending me a message or email. This deal is only open to free or paid subscribers to the Mindyfulness Newsletter. (So, you will need to provide the email address you use to subscribe).
