what is human design?
You’ve heard about Human Design; that’s why you’ve landed here.
You’ve got some curiosity about it, and some unanswered questions. I’m here to answer those questions in this article, but my aim is not to overwhelm you. What follows is a top-level view of what the heck Human Design is, why it’s beneficial to understand it, and how you can use it to your advantage.
What the heck is Human Design?
HD is a logical system bringing together the principles of The I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, and quantum physics.
It is also known as the Science Of Differentiation, the New Astrology, or the Science of The Aura.
But what is Human Design all about?
The purpose of Human Design is to support you with finding, establishing, and working within your own unique personal alignment.
When we are in alignment, we experience more abundance and harmony. We have less resistance. We live in a way that has more ease. Personal alignment in accordance with your HD means that you’re in alignment with the supportive flow of energy. Energy that helps you live your purposeful life – one with less effort and struggle - the one you were created to live.
Is there science behind Human Design?
The physics of Human Design, particularly its connections to quantum mechanics, offers an innovative perspective on human nature. However, it’s essential to recognize that these connections are metaphorical and theoretical rather than empirically validated.
Despite the lack of scientific substantiation, Human Design’s integration of physics provides a unique lens through which to explore oneself. It invites reflection and self-awareness, connecting individuals to broader concepts of the universe and human existence.
What are profiles in Human Design?
Every person falls into one of five different energy types/profiles. I’ve noted the percentage of the population each profile falls into:
Manifestor (9%)
Generator (36%)
Manifesting Generator (32%)
Projector (22%)
Reflector (1%)
These energy types describe how your energetic body (aura) is designed to function and the key role you are meant to play.
Manifestors are here to initiate new ideas and ways of doing things. They can impact and inspire others to make a change. Manifestors are bold; playing to their strengths involves being in roles of innovators, disruptors, and initiators.
Generators are here to use their ample creative energy to create, work on, or build what they love. As such, the role of generators is to be builders, creators, and doers.
Manifesting Generators are here to inspire others. They are able to use their vast creative energy to create, work on, or build what they love in a diverse and varied way. Manifesting generators are multi-passionate doers and creative forces.
Projectors are here to guide the energy use of others toward more efficiency and authenticity. Projectors thrive in the roles of advisors, guides, leaders, and visionaries.
Reflectors are the rarest of the HD types, and are here to provide a natural wisdom to the world. Reflectors are open to taking in the energy of others and can be highly sensitive to the people and spaces that surround them. Their role in life is to be evaluators, seers, and observers.
What does a Human Design reading do?
HD is somewhat similar to Western Astrology — it is based on the information of your birth, but HD also uses specific energy systems (chakras) as well as astrology at your time of birth.
Your Human Design chart is essentially the blueprint for your unique energetic makeup. Your owner’s manual, let’s say, on how to use your energy optimally.
Based on your birth information, your HD chart shows you how your energy is one of a kind, how you are designed to make decisions, what your special set of gifts are, what your life purpose is, and much, much more.
I’ll walk you through how a Human Design reading works with me as an example. Upon receiving or looking up your unique chart, I talk you through it during a video call. The call lasts roughly 90 minutes, and I show you your gifts, where to use them optimally, and how to preserve your valuable energy.
We discuss how to use the most aligned approach to create success for yourself, as well as how to lean on your greatest strengths to create the most impact and abundance. I also hold space for my clients to connect their life experiences so far with their learnings from their HD charts.
Why should I get a Human Design reading?
By knowing your HD design, you are able to pay more attention to your body and feel into your decision-making processes. A HD reading is a compassionate way to understand yourself and others in your life at a profound level.
