What is Human Design?

AN INTRODUCTION

Human Design is like a guidebook that shows you a natural way to engage in life based on your personal energy. Your Human Design chart is formulated using the date, time and place of your birth.  This information tells the story of the energy that surrounded you at birth and gives specific information about how you were designed to: 

  • create in an empowering, exciting and successful way

  • make decisions with more ease and in alignment with who you are

  • experience energy in the world

  • exchange energy, or interact, with others

  • approach and navigate life

  • live a truly meaningful and authentic life.

Your Human Design chart is your energetic blueprint to help you understand who you came here to be and how to live out the highest expression of your potential and your authentic self.

SO, I’M NOT BROKEN?

Spoiler: No, you’re not.

For most of my life, I’ve always been intrigued by #allthethings. I’d get excited about something and want to go try out that thing.  I chased the things that felt exciting.  Because there were so many new things to check out that I was excited about, this often meant not finishing everything that I was exploring.  If I was done with it and it no longer felt exciting, I was onto the next thing.

There came a point in my life, that I started to feel self-conscious about that approach. After all, you’re “supposed to” finish things, right? And you’re “supposed to” stick to one thing.  And if it was related to a career, you’re “supposed to” pursue something stable and you’re “not supposed to” pursue something simply because you felt excited about it.

When I discovered Human Design, I felt so seen when I realized that all of this was “written” in my chart.  What I had started to think of as my flaws were actually a purposeful part of me.  Rather than feeling ashamed about what I was drawn to and how I was called to move through life, I started to honor these parts of me as my personal navigation system. This gave me so much peace and an ability to embrace myself for who I am.  

WHERE DID HUMAN DESIGN COME FROM? 

Human Design was founded by Ra Uru Hu. In 1987, Ra had a spiritual encounter that lasted 8 days, when he essentially channeled the information that later became the Human Design System. 

It’s a synthesis of:

  • Eastern and Western Astrology

  • The Hindu Chakra system

  • The Judaic Kaballah

  • The Chinese I Ching

  • Quantum Physics.

HOW DOES IT HELP ME FIND MY TRUTH?

It’s like a map that shows you your natural state of being. It shows you the pure essence of your energy, which is your energetic being underneath the external stories and conditioning that all of us experience.  When we return to and live from that original essence, we return to our truth, our nature.
