What is Human Design?
Unlocking Your Unique Self: The Power of Human Design
Delivered in 1987 by Ra Uru Hu, this intricate, multi-dimensional system weaves together the wisdom of Eastern and Western Astrology, the Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, the I’Ching, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, along with Quantum Physics and Biochemistry. Standing at the forefront of systems offering a practical approach to self-discovery, Human Design is a true synthesis which blends ancient observational wisdom with modern science. It provides simple mechanics to understanding your unique essence and the energetic blueprint of your soul's purpose.
Human Design is not a belief system, rather it is a key to unlocking higher levels of self-awareness, offering strategies for living in harmony with your innate design. At its heart, Human Design is a gateway to discovering your true self. It offers a glimpse into your essential nature and how you are intrinsically designed. This system provides more than just knowledge; it offers a path to embody the fullest, most authentic version of yourself. It's not just about understanding who you are; it's about living it, every single day.
This journey is an invitation to step into the shoes of your highest self, to recognize and embrace the unique and karmic energies that flow through you, both those you're conscious of and those that lie deeper underneath the surface.
This isn’t about mysticism or predicting the future. It’s a map that points you towards the essence of your being, highlighting the myriad potentials that exist within you. Human Design is about liberating your differentiated self. For me, it has been a tool of freedom, unlocking doors to self-understanding and allowing a life lived in true alignment with who I am meant to be.
In embracing your unique Design, you’re not just learning about yourself. You’re embarking on a transformative journey, one that illuminates your path to living as your most authentic self - through accepting and embracing yourself fully and trusting in the process that is uniquely your own. It’s a journey that I have found profoundly liberating, and I invite you to explore the possibilities it holds for you too.
The Transformative Journey of Discovering Human Design
My exploration into Human Design has been truly life-changing. As someone deeply fascinated by systems and cycles, over the past eight years I've studied systems such as Astrology, Numerology, the Gene Keys, the I’Ching in its myriad variations, to Enneagram, Kabbalah, and planetary cycles with particular focus on the Moon and her cycles. Each of these paths has offered me deep lessons and insights into myself and the world around me. Human Design resonated with me specifically because it came into my life at a time when I was struggling to experience any semblance of consistency.
The truth is that before understanding what it means to be a Reflector, or how to make healthy decisions for myself, I was barely holding on. You see, it wasn’t the idea of starting a business, coaching, or optimizing my life that caught my attention - none of that.The “faking it til’ you make it” strategy had finally tapped the well dry. For most of my life, I had tried to push the pressure down, do just about anything to get it off or escape from having to feel its weight…and it was so heavy - in the body, in the mind, and especially in the way I felt about myself. The idea of learning to love myself felt a bit out of reach even, but living comfortably in my own skin? That’s something I always wanted….to just feel like who I am is enough. It burned inside me like a fire that could not be put out.
In the beginning it took a lot of trust, it really did feel like a leap of faith. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done…stop believing in my mind’s protective measures that actually kept me living in fear. I was running on outdated programming, unhealthy patterns, and unsustainable belief systems. And living with TS meant that it had a direct impact on my hormones, on my attitude, on my relationships. On everything. If I could say one thing to anyone who may be questioning whether or not to take this leap, I can assure you that experimenting in the unknown is better than living the rest of your life creating unwanted results and attracting unnecessary resistance. So much of the resistance we create for ourselves we don’t even notice because we’re so busy trying to stay protected, to stay safe. The only crux is that it’s that very belief that keeps us constricted in a world of fear…if we could only shift the lens, revealing the gift within the shadow of our own doubt.
“You are exactly where you need to be to take your next step. You DO have the capacity to live your fullest potential in this life, starting right now. In letting go of everything that is not truly YOU, who you are will be revealed right before your eyes. Trust in your process. Good things takes time.”
Human Design has been a revolutionary journey, showing me what energy truly belongs to me and what doesn't. It has guided me in how to interact in the world and with those around me, in making decisions that honor my true self, in organizing my days, understanding my digestive processes and how to balance my hormones, manifesting my desires, and unleashing my innate power. It has illuminated truths that I always sensed within me, giving me the courage to live life on my own terms. The real magic of Human Design is that at the end of the day, it’s all up to you. This life boils down to what you make of it. If you have heard about any of these systems mentioned above, I invite you to explore their practical nature and how implementing the principles and wisdom of these different systems may bring you closer to understanding, honoring and living your true nature. If you’re anything like me, it could change your life.
And just remember, Human Design is but one tool in the grand tapestry of self-discovery. You don’t need anyone or any external system to understand who you are. All the answers are within you. Astrology, Human Design, The Gene Keys…all of these are systems for self-understanding, and Human Design serves a noble purpose: to empower you to fully embrace and embody your authentic self. Your Bodygraph provides a clear strategy to for you to respond that supports your holistic well-being and helps you navigate life in way that just FEELS right. It provides insights into the incredible depth and magnificence of your being. The magic, however, has lived within you all along.
