Discovering Your Unique Blueprint: An Introduction to Human Design

In our quest for self-discovery and understanding, we often seek tools and systems that can shed light on the intricate complexities of our personalities, behaviors, and life paths. Human Design has quickly become my favorite way to dive into this quest. Rooted in a synthesis of astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system, Human Design offers a unique perspective on our individuality and purpose in this world.

What is Human Design?

At its core, Human Design proposes that each of us is born with a specific blueprint or design that outlines our inherent strengths, challenges, and ultimate life trajectory. I like to think about this as our "coding" in this Earthly simulation we seem to be living in. This blueprint is represented by our BodyGraph, using the planetary alignments of astrology, the flow of the chakra system, the 64 hexagrams of the Chinese I'Ching, combined with modern psychology to provide a comprehensive map of our energetic coding.

To understand your Human Design Chart, it's essential to learn about its four fundamental components:

1. Aura Type & Strategy: There are five Human Design Types, each reflecting a different strategy for navigating life. These types include Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. Your Type determines how you interact with and impact the world around you.

2. Authority: Your Authority is your inner decision-making mechanism. It guides you in making choices aligned with your true nature, whether through emotions, intuition, logic, or other modalities.

3. Centers: The Centers in your Human Design Chart represent various aspects of your personality with each Center holds a different energy. When the center is open (white in your chart), you'll feel a wide variety of energy throughout your day as you interact with others and experience the planetary transits. When the center is closed (colored in your chart), you'll 

4. Profile: Your Profile offers insights into your role and purpose in life, highlighting your inherent strengths and how you can best fulfill your potential.

Understanding Your Human Design Chart (the BodyGraph)

When delving into your Human Design Chart, it's crucial to approach it with an open mind and a willingness to explore the intricacies of your being. Here are some steps to help you get started:

1. Generate Your Chart: Input your birth date, time (this is very important as sometimes your chart can change from one minute to the next), and location to generate your unique chart. 
This is my favorite website to use: mybodygraph.com

2. Identify Your Aura Type: Your Aura Type is the foundation of your Human Design. Take time to understand the characteristics and strategies associated with your specific Type, as this will inform many aspects of your life.
Are you a Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, or Reflector?

3. Embrace Your Authority: Pay attention to your Authority and how it guides your decision-making process. Learning to trust your inner wisdom (aka: intuition) can lead to greater alignment in life and manifestation of your desires.

4. Explore Your Centers: Examine each Center in your chart and reflect on how its activation or openness manifests in your life. Awareness of these Centers can provide profound insights into your strengths, areas for growth, and even how we connect with others (through the gates and channels that connect each center).

5. Connect with Your Profile: Your Profile offers a glimpse into your unique role in the world. Embrace the characteristics and traits outlined in your Profile as opportunities for self-expression and fulfillment.

Applying Human Design in Daily Life

Once you've familiarized yourself with your Human Design Chart, you can begin to integrate its insights into your daily life.

Here are some ways to apply Human Design principles:

1. Honoring Your Strategy: Each Human Design Type has a specific strategy for navigating life. Whether it's waiting to respond (Generators) or informing before taking action (Manifestors), honoring your strategy can lead to greater flow and satisfaction.

2. Listening to Your Authority: Your Authority serves as a compass for decision-making. Practice tuning into your inner guidance and honoring its wisdom in all aspects of your life.

3. Experimenting and Observing: Human Design is a journey of self-discovery and experimentation. Approach it with curiosity and openness, and observe how aligning with your design impacts your experiences and interactions.

4. Deconditioning with Guidance: Technically, this process is ongoing, as it takes at least 7 years to actually change our DNA. When becoming the person we were meant to be (rather than the person we were told to me) there are energetic upgrades / downloads one might experience. Finding a guide during this time, whether that be a Human Design specialist, a licensed therapist open to the world of energetics, find a group (online or irl) to share your experiences with.

After you've had your 1:1 session with me and we've dove into the specifics of your chart, you'll have the opportunity to join a private group with other humans who are on the same deconditioning journey!

Human Design offers a profound framework for understanding ourselves and our role here on Earth. Exploring our unique blueprint empowers us to live more authentic and fulfilling lives. Remember, your Human Design is not a limitation but a roadmap for self-discovery and personal evolution.

Embrace it with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to explore the depths of your being.
