Discovering Your Unique Human Design Type
Over the past few months, I’ve really been diving deep into self-discovery and I’m obsessed with learning about Human Design. I first learned about it through my fave entrepreneur to follow, Helen Leland! She founded Blender Bombs (use them all the time to give our smoothies a health boost!) and is so fun to follow for fashion, mom life, and health tips. Unless you’re like me and constantly listening to self-help podcasts you’re probably wondering what Human Design is! I am a Manifesting Generator and I’ve loved learning more about the best ways to optimize my strengths. I’ve summarized the five primary Human Design types and linked some places to find out your type!
Unveiling the Magic of Human Design
Human Design, often referred to as the "science of differentiation," is an amalgamation of various wisdom traditions, including astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, and modern science. It offers a unique perspective on our individuality and how we interact with the world. At its core, Human Design believes that each of us is born with a distinct design, a blueprint that holds the key to our life's purpose, strengths, weaknesses, and ideal life path.
The Fabulous Five Human Design Types
To embark on your journey of self-discovery, it's crucial to identify your specific Human Design type. These types represent the foundation of how you operate in the world. Here are the five primary types:
Manifestor: Manifestors are the catalysts of change. They're here to initiate and make things happen. These trailblazers have the power to transform the world through their actions.
Generator: Generators are the energy dynamos. They possess a vast well of life force energy and excel in responding to life's opportunities. Their strength lies in doing what lights them up.
Projector: Projectors are the wise observers. They are natural advisors and guides, with an uncanny ability to see the big picture. They thrive when invited to share their wisdom and insights.
Reflector: Reflectors are the rare gems. They are mirrors to the world, absorbing the energies around them. These adaptable individuals serve as a reflection of the collective mood, making them highly attuned to their environment.
Manifesting Generator: Manifesting Generators combine the traits of both Manifestors and Generators. They are the multi-talented, action-oriented individuals who respond to opportunities and initiate changes with zest.
How to Discover Your Human Design Type
Identifying your Human Design type is a profound step on your path to self-discovery. To uncover your type, you'll need your full Human Design chart, which is based on your birth date, time, and place. Don't worry; there are plenty of free resources available online that can generate your chart. Once you have it in hand, take the following steps:
Understand your Strategy: Each Human Design type has a unique strategy for decision-making. Manifestors should inform others before taking action; Generators should respond to life's cues; Projectors should wait for an invitation; Reflectors should give themselves a lunar month to make decisions; Manifesting Generators should respond, but also initiate when it feels right.
Know your Inner Authority: Your chart will reveal your inner authority, which could be your gut, heart, spleen, or another center. Listening to your inner authority is the key to making decisions that align with your true self.
Explore your Centers: Each center in your Human Design chart represents different facets of your personality. Understanding these centers will help you navigate life more effectively and tap into your innate strengths.
Embrace Your Authentic Self: Finally, it's all about being true to who you are. Your Human Design type is not about limiting yourself but about embracing your uniqueness and making choices that resonate with your core being.
Human Design is a another fun journey of self-discovery that can help you unlock your true potential and lead a more authentic, fulfilling life! I’m always on the search for ways I can be my most authentic self and human design is just one of many ways to do so!
