What is Human Design?
Introduction to Human Design: Discovering Your Unique Blueprint for Thriving
Introduction
In a world filled with seemingly endless personality assessments and self-discovery tools, Human Design stands out as a system that provides deep insights into our individual nature. It's more than just a personality test; it's a holistic framework that combines esoteric practices and systems such as astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah and more to offer a comprehensive understanding of our true selves (as well as all the layers of conditioning on top, HIDING our true selves!) In this blog post, we'll embark on a journey to explore the fundamentals of Human Design and how it can equip you and the people in your life to live a more authentic and aligned life.
What is Human Design?
At its core, Human Design is a system that helps individuals understand their unique energetic makeup and how to make decisions in alignment with their true nature. It was channeled in the late 20th century by Ra Uru Hu, who synthesized ancient wisdom with modern sciences to create this transformative system.
Maybe you just heard about Human Design in passing, in a business/coaching course, or from that next door neighbour of yours who is always on about some new esoteric thing (me).
But what is it?
At its heart, Human Design is a system of differentiation. What that means is that it a system that ORGANISES the ways in which every single person on this planet is made (designed) differently.
It is not specifically looking at personality differences - but it is looking at our ENERGETIC DIFFERENCES.
Notice how Bob down the road can work in his garden all day and never get tired, but you - even though you LOVE gardening - can’t handle more than a couple of hours or so?
That is an energetic difference between you and Bob, and it is likely explained through your Human Design charts.
Human Design has the intention of ensuring that you are using your Energy (of all kinds) correctly, so that you can express the unique energetic signature that you are here to BE.
Human Design also has the intention of bringing your energy and awareness back into your BODY - out of your mind - so that your decisions are made from a deep, authentic place inside of you, and not influenced by external forces. Plus, that way your mind is free to do what it is built for. GENIUS. Not endless circling over pro and con lists. Decision making is meant to be simple and no-nonsense, to free your energy up to be used elsewhere. That’s a huge thing Human Design provides.
Human Design is the amalgamation of many difference esoteric and scientific practices. You will need you birth time, date and place of birth in order to find out your chart.
You can get your chart for free on many different chart generators online (I prefer Genetic Matrix), and then explore/learn/decondition from there!
Some Important Facets of Human Design
Type: Human Design recognizes five main types: Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector. Each type comes with its own decision-making strategy and energetic dynamics.
Strategy: Based on your type, Human Design provides a strategy for making decisions that are in harmony with your authentic self. For example, Generators and Manifesting Generators use the "wait to respond" strategy, while Projectors need to wait for an invitation.
Authority: Your authority is your internal decision-making guide. It's a deeply personal and intuitive process that helps you discern what is correct for you. There are various types of authority, such as Sacral Authority, Emotional Authority, and Splenic Authority.
Centers and Channels: The Human Design chart includes nine energy centers and multiple channels that represent different aspects of your personality and energy flow. Each center and channel has its unique qualities and can be either defined or undefined in your chart.
Profile: Your profile provides insights into your life path, roles, and how you interact with the world. It's a combination of two numbers (e.g., 4/6) that reflects your key characteristics and how you navigate life experiences.
Living in Alignment with Your Design
One of the most transformative aspects of Human Design is learning to live in accordance with your unique blueprint. This involves understanding your type, strategy, authority, and how to navigate your defined and undefined centers. By aligning your decisions and actions with your true nature, you can experience greater fulfillment, success, and authenticity in all areas of your life.
Embarking on a journey with Human Design is an invitation to explore the depths of your own being and discover the innate wisdom that lies within you. It's a tool that empowers you to make decisions, cultivate relationships, and live a life that resonates with your authentic self.
