I guess it's best to start with the basics!
What is Human Design?
I wonder if you have been feeling anything like I had been for quite a few recent years:
anxious and overwhelmed?
burned out and exhausted?
disconnected from others and/or yourself?
confused as to how or where to move forward?
These past few years have caused many a lot of stress, anxiety, trauma, and countless other things.
At the same time, it has been a time for many of us to re-evaluate what is important, valuable, and a priority in life, and to rediscover who we are and what we are here to do.
We are told from so many gurus to be ourselves, be authentic, follow our instincts and intuition, be positive, set intentions, keep our vibrations high… easier said than done, right?
This has certainly been the case for me. I was finding it hard to see, much less decide, on which direction to go, and how to go about it. I almost felt lost at sea without a compass… that is, until I found Human Design!
For the first time in my life, I felt like I was ok the way I was, I didn’t have to pretend and spend so much energy being anything else other than me!
And I began to work on my energy blocks and false beliefs and conditioning so I could finally start to shift things in the direction that felt right for me.
What is Human Design?
Human Design is basically a map of you — your energy, your gifts and talents, your sources of wisdom. It shows you the story of who you truly are, what you are here to do, and how you can do it with the most ease and impact.
The Human Design system is based on Western astrology, the chakra system, the Kabbala, the I’Ching, genetics and quantum physics, and it is summarised in a picture like this:
What I love about Human Design is that it is very practical, and you can start applying your newfound wisdom about yourself right away. It will tell you what your strengths and weaknesses are, your challenges, how you relate to others, how best you make decisions, as well as your highest potential and life purpose.
It will give you the blueprint of how you can live with more ease, flow, and vitality – to be your incredible, powerful, unique authentic self.
Learning about your Human Design can be liberating and empowering. And there are so many ways nowadays you can go about learning it.
You could definitely start on your own, by getting your Human Design chart (you can get one here), and searching all around the internet for information, or buying books about it. This is certainly how I started, and it was initially fun, but then it got very confusing and overwhelming, as there is so much to it all.
In addition, we have all been conditioned so much through our lives to be something we are not, so changing the way we do things is not always easy or straightforward! If you throw in trauma to the mix, which most of us have, it’s even harder!
So the other way of learning about HD is getting a Human Design reading with a Human Design reader/coach. This is super valuable as they can tailor the reading to what you want to know or what you are currently struggling with or want guidance on. And not just that but, they can guide you on ways to start experimenting with your Human Design, help you find the best ways for you to decondition and to integrate the knowledge into practical steps and embodiment.
If you are curious, start with downloading your HD chart in my website, where you will also receive an Intro to Human Design PDF, so you can start digging into it. And if you are curious to get in deeper, or if you get too overwhelmed with what it all means, I’m happy to do a reading and some coaching, and I’m chat beforehand about what all this would look like before you commit!
