My Experiment into Human Design

My deep dive into the Human Design system this past year has been an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. It has given me insights into my cosmic blueprint that I never would have thought possible. The insight that I was already bringing myself into alignment and “living my design” without even realising was the most interesting part.
Humans have a natural inclination to be drawn to that which helps liberate them from their suffering, and this system offers a completely empowering and positive way to do so without having to delve too deeply into the heaviness and trauma. It helps take the pressure off, and lightens the load. It is funny though, as someone mentioned it to me two years ago, but I was not ready for it. Fast forward to 2021, and Human Design has proven to be the perfect tool for navigating difficult situations, creating boundaries and cultivating more self love. I just needed to wait for the right moment to explore my own soul’s blueprint!
So what is human design?
Human Design is a highly advanced and complex system that helps to develop an optimal way for an individual to use their energy on this planet. It celebrates our uniqueness. The system is scientific insofar as our DNA is encoded from birth and in utero by measurable and observable subatomic particles (neutrinos) in the atmosphere that give us our unique Human Design bodychart. Imagine Myers-Briggs and astrology on steroids, and that is Human Design in a nutshell. It draws from the spiritual to simply enhance physical life.
The amalgamation of cosmology, astrology, quantum physics, Kabbalah, IChing and the Hindu chakra system makes for a robust and grounded method for understanding your human genetic blueprint. After all, there is no denying that we are affected by the moon, tides and other planetary influences! Human Design works on this premise, that we are influenced by our surroundings, so must learn to use our energy appropriately in order to navigate this physical plane and understand our own human circuitry.
In this planet people fall into one of four categories as the builders and life force of the planet (generators, manifesting generators), the instigators and mavericks (manifestors), the angelic guides (projectors) and the mirrors for humanity (the reflector). These archetypal energetic roles are vital for healthy functioning of the Earth, but unfortunately we are heavily conditioned from birth to go against our own intuition and thus genetic blueprint, often falling into the trap of homogenisation and social programming. This “one way of doing things” mentality plagues society, keeping an individual confined to a box and never achieving their fullest potential. However, when each individual is living in accordance with their Human Design they can thrive, and in turn contribute energetically to the rich tapestry of life itself. This is why it is so important to ensure our energy is being used correctly based on a personal understanding of our own chart, and our own energy type. Human Design teaches you to trust your intuition and follow your inner guidance, as the answer can only ever lie within you. If we take responsibility for our own energy and use it correctly, we are unstoppable.
How does my chart gently guide my own decision making and life choices?
I take my chart with a pinch of salt, only utilising that which resonates with me. Although it has been spookily accurate so far in giving me a lot of useful wisdom and guidance! And something I cannot ignore. I have been so drawn to using this system to provide a “life hack” to using my energy wisely and with great impact!
Over the course of the years I have been working to decondition myself from negative stories and programming from society, so that I can really develop a deeper and stronger sense of self away from any external influence. This whole process has really helped me make friends with myself and love all aspects of myself, even those I used to consider my flaws.
Human design is so empowering and validating as it celebrates the unique mission each individual has on this planet based on themes from their charts and the way their energy interacts with other humans and the surrounding environment. It brings attention to subtle changes we may need to make in order to build the life of our dreams, so we can trust our own intuition and cultivate abundance from within, rather than letting ourselves be conditioned by the external and becoming a slave to the mind.
I now know how to trust my emotions, and really feel into them. My body is my new brain, and by not identifying with the mind, I can release all resistance and surrender to the process of integration and bring such a deep awareness to my triggers. Human Design has brought such a wonderful peace to my life that I never could have imagined.
