What is Human Design?

I first heard the term Human Design whilst at a networking event for female entrepreneurs in London. It was March 2022 and although the name peeked my interest, it wasn’t until a few months later that I actually looked up my chart on myhumandesign.com

The chart told me I was a Projector with Splenic Authrotity, and that my strategy in life was to ‘wait for the invitation’….aaaaand cue the confusion.

I’ll be honest, the first time I laid eyes on my chart (also called a bodygraph) I had no idea what I was looking at. The shapes and lines on my screen made no sense to me and I didn’t know how I was going to decipher the meaning of what I was being told.

However, a few google searches later, I had well and truly fallen down a Human Design rabbit hole and I was hooked!

Reading about my human design, was like being described in the most intimate detail, by a complete stranger. My tendencies, natural abilities, desires and challenges, summarised in a way that fully resonated and that I had often struggled to clearly verbalise myself.

I had never felt so seen in my entire life!!

So many things both in life and business made SO MUCH SENSE, it was like being able to stretch and breathe fresh air after being stuck in a tiny box for far too long.

Bet you are, so, let’s dive into the detail.

SO, What is Human Design (HD)?

Human Design is a tool for self-awareness and self-acceptance. It combines ancient and modern wisdom such as Astrology, The Chinese I-Ching, the Kaballa, the Chakra System, Biochemistry, Genetics and Quantum Physics to create a brand new system that helps you understand who you are at your core and how to live your life in alignment with your truest most authentic self.

Think about it this way - Throughout life, we are inundated with guidance, opinions, expectations and even rules about who we ‘should’ be and what we ‘should’ do. We are conditioned to think and behave like the people around us and through that process, we quickly lose sight of who we are and who we are meant to be. Human Design helps you strip back those layers of conditioning, so that you can re-connect with, accept and embrace your uniqueness and authenticity.

How does human design work?

Similar to an astrological birth chart, your Human Design is determined using your exact Location, Time and Date of your birth. This information then paints a detailed picture of your energetic blueprint and how the energy present at your birth, influenced your genetic makeup, personality and predisposition.

HOW DO YOU GET STARTED WITH HUMAN DESIGN?

To get started, you can head over to a FREE website such as myhumandesign.com or mybodygraph.com and enter your Birth Location, Date and Time. This will pull up your unique chart.

What will the chart tell me?:

• Your energy type: The type of Aura you have, or essentially how your energy interacts with those of others and with the world. You can be 1 of 5 - Manifestor, Generator, Manifestor Generator, Projector, Reflector.

• Your profile: This represents your natural gifts, how you share them with the world and the role that you play. It is composed of 2 numbers i.e. 2/5. The first number represents how you tend to see yourself, and comes from your conscious personality and the second number represents how others tend to see you, which comes from your unconscious design.

• Your strategy: The path of least resistance, for you to embrace your uniqueness and individuality and experience life with more ease, effectiveness and enjoyment.

• Your authority: The most natural way for you to make decisions.

Some websites will provide you with additional information, but, when you are first getting started I would recommend keeping things simple and exploring these four aspects of your chart first.

How can you understand your HUMAN DESIGN chart?

If your chart looks like mambo-jumbo to you - don’t be alarmed, you are not alone! If you want to understand what you are looking at and what it actually means to you, your life, relationships and your business then you can:

• Do it the old fashioned way and study Human Design. Here is a book I would recommend Human Design by Chetan Parkyn.

• Subscribe to my Youtube Channel. I have created a Playlist dedicated to understanding Human Design, starting with the basics.

• Book a Human Design reading with a professional. If you would like to work with me you can enquire HERE.

Final notes:

As someone who has always adopted a practical and evidence based approach to life and business, I had my doubts as to the accuracy of this system (I had never even been into Astrology! So this was definitely new territory for me).

But, when it comes to Human Design, in my opinion the proof is in the pudding…reading my chart made me feel so understood and helped me relieve the pressure I had been putting on myself to keep up with everyone else in both business and life.

Ultimately, Human Design is a tool that can help you better understand yourself and others, uncover your potential and lean into your individuality.

In a world obsessed with comparison and universal definitions of success, I think we could all do with help learning to embrace and enjoy being ourselves and living life on our own terms, instead of wasting time and energy trying to be like everyone else.

Don’t you?
