The Human Design Experiment is where the true magic of the system is revealed.

We are not meant to be static and unchanging. We are here to learn how to step into our true and authentic selves.

This is what the experiment reveals as it unfolds.

1. Your Human Design Experiment improves your experience of life.

The Human Design experiment has many positive results, although that’s not to say that it is either a quick or easy process. It’s not. It is a lifelong experience.

As you step into your experiment, you will begin to view yourself and your life in a different way.

When I first came to Human Design, I was living my life as though I was a Manifesting Generator. My undefined centres meant that I was taking in energy from others and storing it within myself – essentially hoarding it as my own! I had many days where I wondered why I felt entirely disconnected from myself.

I felt like a stranger in my own body.

When I started my experiment it wasn’t easy. In fact, it was, at times, quite confronting as I let go of years old patterns and stories. Even with all of this going, though, my experience of my life felt much better.

I knew who I was. My experiment allowed me to begin peeling back the layers and allowing my true self to appear more and more.

It felt empowering!

If you are ready to start your own Human Design experiment, I invite you to consider doing ‘Your Human Design Foundations’. It is a program I have designed to help people get started with their experiment using some of the tools and processes I used to begin my own experiment. It also allows you to explore the foundational aspects of your design at your own pace, while receiving support as needed.

2. You can find out the way things are designed to work for you when you engage with your HD Experiment.

Are you working in harmony with your aura?

Do you know how your Strategy works?

How connected to your Authority are you?

If you don’t feel like you are energetically balanced it is likely because of a number of things, including your aura, Strategy and Authority.

The Human Design experiment is about you discovering for yourself how you are designed to work.

Do you know how your energy impacts on others? OR How their energy impacts on you?

What can you do to deal with the energy of others?

There are so many aspects of you that are designed to work in a specific way. Your experiment allows you to be aware of them.

The Human Design experiment is a deep dive into yourself. You are both the experimenter and the observer in the process. The experiment doesn’t require a huge time commitment, just a commitment to yourself and an awareness of your own energy.

3. Your Human Design Experiment allows you to know yourself deeply, and to understand others at a deeper level, too.

Your Human Design experiment allows you to truly get to know yourself.

Over time, your self-awareness becomes greater and stronger.

When you come to know yourself truly, you can come to truly love yourself.

Ultimately, knowing and loving yourself is really our purpose in this life.

Yes, we will have other things that we will be drawn to do and that are quite purposeful, but what is more important than being able to love the true, authentic you?

When we know and love ourselves it opens up our capacity to understand and love others.

Your experiment reveals more and more how each of us is unique.

No-one else can be you. No-one else can act as the true you. No-one else can make decisions in the same way as you.

This is true for everyone!

When we live our lives from this perspective, we are empowering each other. We can encourage each other to be our own authorities and to trust in our own internal knowingness.

That is an amazing legacy to leave, isn’t it?

Conclusion

When you learn about your Human Design, you have three choices:

1. Don’t do anything, and nothing will change.
2. Learn some of the details and be happy to tell people what type you are and what that means.
3. Have a lived experience of Human Design by stepping into your experiment.

Sometimes, you might not be ready to step into the experiment immediately.

You can state your experiment whenever you are ready!

The post 3 Reasons to Begin Your Human Design Experiment appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

Why is it so powerful to use your Strategy and Authority?

This is the means through which you are able to become a confident decision-maker and live as your own authority.

Your Strategy and Authority, when you connect with them and use them every day, empower you to discover your own uniqueness.

There are many reasons why this is the case.

1. Your Strategy allows you to connect correctly with your aura and energise opportunities to come to you.

When you use your Strategy, you will be working with your aura and your energy. This makes you more magnetic to others. It brings you more opportunities to make a decision about.

Basically you begin to become more aligned.

Something that is often said and written in Human Design is that your Strategy and your Authority are all you need to follow to decondition.

I would agree with that.

I have worked with lots of different aspects of my design, but the framework that I use to do this is always my Strategy and Authority. The strategy is the starting point. It is so important that we have Not-Self themes that arise when we are not using this correctly.

Your Not-Self Theme (in my case, Bitterness) acts as your guidepost to deconditioning and alignment. In particular, it is flashing the red signal to say, “Hey, you’ve forgotten about your Strategy. Remember, this is about using your aura correctly.”

Would we be able to make changes if we didn’t have this signal to let us know what needs to change? Probably not.

I know that my Bitterness and my Success have helped me to have a better understanding of my Strategy.

2. Your Authority is a way to become more deeply embodied and aligned to your energetic self.

We are meant to use our innate body wisdom to make decisions. Our Authority is a way that we have been designed to essentially ‘know’ what our body is saying.

We are not designed to use our Mind for decisions-making. Our Minds are too easily influenced and manipulated. This is a big part of the training that I have done as a master coach is to understand how our Minds can mislead us. Our Minds want to be the boss!

Our Minds are not reliable because of this. I believe because we have part of our Soul’s essence within us in the G Centre, it guides our bodies in making truly correct decisions.

This is powerful stuff, when we can get out of our Minds and truly connect to our body.

We become embodied learners. Our Authority guides up to align to our energetic blueprint.

The relationship with our Authority is something that gets stronger the more we use it. This means that it can be easier to recognise the voice of our Mind trying to be the boss.

When we get out of our heads and into our bodies, we begin to make decisions we can truly trust and are for our highest good.

3. When your Strategy and Authority work together, this allows you to align to your own unique design.

There is true magic when our Strategy and Authority (S & A) come together as we make decisions.

The more you use your Strategy & Authority, the stronger this response will become.

Every part of your design is meant to be utilised using your S & A.

What’s the best way to understand the energy of your Conscious Sun Gate? Use your S & A.

What’s the best way to tap into your incarnation cross? Use your S & A.

When will you know the best time to act? Use your S & A.

Hopefully, you get the idea!

Your S & A is your true guide. It allows you to be your own authority. You can make choices and decisions with confidence.

You will notice a shift in your energy as you feel more and more like your authentic self.

Is it easy? Not always and definitely not at first.

Is it worth it? YES! 

The best thing you can learn and experiment with is your Strategy and Authority.

Conclusion

If the only thing you learn about yourself through Human Design is your Strategy and Authority, you are on the way to creating impactful change in your life.

This is the most powerful part of your entire design because it is the lynch-pin to working with your entire design.

If you are not connected to your Strategy and Authority, you will find it very difficult to move beyond a knowledge-based perspective on your design.

When you are connected, all aspects of your design are accessible.

The post 3 Reasons Why Working With Your Strategy and Authority is SO Powerful appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

Line 3s are here to be truly experiential learners.

You will be changed by what you learn through your experiences.

Of course, this means that a Line 3 has to willingly step into life.

You cannot hide away and hope you never make a mistake.

1. Life can often feel quite messy for a Line 3.

If you sometimes feel as though life is messy, this is just the way it goes for a Line 3.

Remember that you are here to jump into life and explore how it works and what you can learn that makes life better.

This requires a Line 3 to be actively engaged and exploring how things work for you.

Exploring and experimenting naturally leads to times when things don’t go the way you expect.

When things go in unexpected directions this can feel messy. It can feel like you just don’t have your shit together! Maybe others actually tell you that’s the case.

Learn to ignore the judgement – from you and others.

The true magic of a Line 3 only happens when you are just trying this or that thing out.

That has been my way of truly finding out about life.

When I was young that was attributed to youth. That’s not really where it comes from.

Line 3s are here to embody their living in a way that no other profile line does.

So, accept the mess. Embrace the mess. See the beauty in the mess.

2. Line 3s are here to focus on themselves and their experiences of life first.

Line 3s are part of the lower trigram of the hexagram. In other words they are in the lower half of the hexagram of six lines. This is what the profile is created from – the different lines of the hexagram that refine the energy of each gate. (If you want to find out more, join in the next round of Your Human Design Foundations.)

These lower 3 lines have a focus of turning within the person for learning.

This is what a Line 3 needs to focus on as they do their trial-and-error process – what they are learning, how things are impacting them and how things can be improved for them.

When that understanding is gathered, then a Line 3 is ready to share their wisdom and their learnings with others.

They will understand how things work from a deeply personal perspective.

3. Hiding away and trying to avoid any chance of failure is not a positive choice.

Remember Line 3s that you are meant to go through ‘failures’.

Things are not always going to work in your favour as you really step deeply into the experience of life.

You bring your own special brand of magic when you continue to show up in life.

Life can feel messy and disorganised and scattered. Depending on the other line you are paired with, there may be a pull to try and avoid any chance of failure.

This is certainly the case with my other line, the Line 1. It loves to have a sense of stability and solidness. You just don’t get that when you have a Line 3!

I was conditioned as a child to believe that ‘failure’ was something to be avoided, so I tried to do that consciously. But, Line 3 was always going to keep on trying to drop me back in life.

When you change your perception around the Line 3 process and see it as something empowering and view ‘mistakes’ as opportunities for growth and learning, you can step into the magical energy of the Line 3.

Conclusion

Line 3s enjoy having that energy.

No matter how careful you are or how much you try to control or hide from life, the trial-and-error process will find you.

I know this for a fact – having tried to do both of these things.

The best thing for a Line 3 to remember is that you learn more about yourself and life when you embrace your true energy!

Go with the flow and see where it leads you.

The post 3 Things for Line 3s to Remember appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

Line 2 people are here to spend time alone exploring their genius.

Their genius lies within whatever they are naturally drawn to explore.

There are three key things to know about being a LIne 2.

1. Line 2 learns through their connection to themselves.

Line 2 people are here to go deep within themselves and learn about life and themselves by doing this.

To be able to do this, they need to have a lot of time alone.

The alone time is not for study or investigation as it is for a LIne 1. It is time for a Line 2 to just focus on what they want to do.

How do they know what to focus on? It comes naturally.

This line is the natural genius. They will be naturally drawn to things that they have a talent for.

Spending time alone allows them to really become an expert at their natural genius.

It is not necessary for them to do a lot of study, although this is not off the table!

The thing I find most interesting with being a hermit is that Line 2s truly cannot see their own natural talents! This is even when they are pointed out!

I remember having a conversation with a Line 2 (who is unaware of their design) and basically calling them out for something that they truly have a gift for. They entirely brushed me off.

Perhaps this is because I wasn’t the right person to call them out. It is more likely because he could not see his own giftedness.

The lesson to remember is that, while a Line 2 needs to be a hermit regularly, connecting with themselves does not usually allow them to see their own special magic. They need to allow others to do this form and be willing to accept it.

2. Line 2 has themes of shyness and aloneness across their life.

One thing that most Line 2s I have met or worked with struggle with is shyness.

It is this shyness that can sometimes keep them stuck in their hermit energy.

When someone recognises their natural genius, as they inevitably will, it can be sometimes feel easier for a Line 2 to reject their call out.

It can seem quite overwhelming to think about interacting with others around this area of genius that they have been recognised for. The level at which they remain stuck does depend on whether Line 2 is the conscious part of their profile (first number) and what other number it is paired with. For example, a 2/4 often has a push pull relationship between the two lines of their profile. The fact is that all Line 2s are paired with an interpersonal/transpersonal line.

Another aspect of life where this shyness and even loneliness can be difficult for them is in relationships. As with other parts of their life, a Line 2 has to be called out of their hermit time and into a relationship.

Once in a relationship, their desire for alone time can cause friction with their partner.

For those in a relationship with a Line 2, it is important to remember that the desire to be alone is no reflection on you! Accepting this is the only way forward. Find ways to embrace this!

Line 2s will always find time alone important, but it can also feel to them as though they lead a lonely life.

3. Line 2s are natural geniuses who are called out to share when this is seen.

The aspect of the Line 2s that is truly interesting is the way in which they need to be recognised and called out by others.

Line 2s are naturally able to do certain things.

For my father, he was naturally able to problem solve situations that would require him to make the solution. For others it will be something different.

A Line 2 is not able to truly see how unique their gifts are. This is why they are called out. Others desire to know how to do what comes naturally to a LIne 2.

There is a weird kind of energy at play here! A Line 2 will desire to engage with their genius alone. This is actually the only true way they can connect with this aspect of themselves.

They will have this feeling that they are unobserved.

There is a magic to the hermit energy that attracts the notice of others. Without being aware of it, hermit Line 2s are being seen. They are being seen by those who will benefit from their natural genius. But they will struggle to understand why people want to know about it!

Line 2s are here to benefit the world around them through their natural genius. If you are a LIne 2, follow your strategy and authority to decide when it is time to listen to others!

Conclusion

If you know a Line 2, you are lucky! They will enrich your life with their natural genius. Just remember to have patience with their desire to spend time away from everyone.

If you are a Line 2, know that it is important for you to spend time alone to renew yourself and connect with your essence. Then it is important to leave your aloneness at the right time for the right people. Do not get caught in the low energy of your line and stay hidden away and missing out on life!

The post 3 Things to Know About a Line 2 appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

The four profiles that have a Line 1 as part of them (1/3, 1/4, 4/1 or 5/1) all have Investigator energy. What does that mean?

It means you are here to investigate things that interest you or are important to you.

All of the LIne 1 profiles will be drawn to knowledge.

Perhaps they have even spent most of their lives as a learner.

Line 1s can hold a lot of knowledge about a lot of different topics, if that’s what they choose. Or they may choose to become the absolute master of one particular knowledge area.

No matter how they choose to embrace their Investigator persona, they will love information.

This is the key to this line.

1. Line 1s need to have a foundation of information so they can feel safe and secure.

For a Line 1 Investigator information is key.

We seek out information. We love information!

But information and knowledge can become an achilles heel as well.

Line 1s can find themselves getting caught in an information cycle.

It works a bit like this.

You are needing to find out some information so you dive right in.

The reason you were investigating was to feel certainty about something in your life – your next step.

This is where a Line 1 can end up becoming stuck.

How much information is needed to feel safe and secure?

This is the question a Line 1 will grapple with.

Often there will be this feeling that you still don’t know enough! This will even be when you know more about a topic than anyone else – except maybe a professor!

This is really where Line 1s need to use their Strategy and Authority.

But also be realistic.

You don’t have to know every last detail to have enough information.

Consider whether you really need more information to feel secure in that knowledge.

Because, ultimately all Line 1s have another line that needs some attention.

2. Investigating and learning is important before making a big change.

Line 1s need to investigate and learn before they make a big change.

That’s a good thing for them

Remember that knowledge is ‘safety’ for a Line 1.

Let me give you a personal example. My profile is a 1/3 Investigator Martyr. The Martyr is all about experiencing life, experimenting with what works and what doesn’t; experiential learning. Often there is the energy within me pushing me to experiment.

If I jumped into an experiment or experience without learning as much as I could about it, I would feel very out of balance. It is also likely that the trial and error would be mostly error!

This is where Line 1s need to be careful.

It is easy to feel almost fearful of creating any change in your life without spending a huge amount of time researching all the possibilities of the action.

The fact is – we’re not meant to know everything. We are not meant to control everything.

Line 1s need to trust themselves enough to say, “I know enough,” and step out into the other ‘identity’ you have as part of your profile.

Too often Line 1s will remain hidden away learning more and more but never leaving their library and never embracing all that they can be.

Trust your Strategy and Authority to know when it is time to bring the next step into your life.

3. Line 1s are here to be a knowledgeable resource for others as they have a deep well of understanding in areas of their focus.

Each of the different profile lines have a purpose.

Line 1 is here to be a deeply knowledgeable resource for others. They are meant to disseminate their knowledge for the good of others.

This can sometimes be forgotten.

Line 1s love information so much that they just delve into it for its own sake.

No other profile can take on the depth of knowledge that a Line 1 can.

If they are designed to be this amazing receptacle of knowledge, it makes sense that they are here to do something with that!

My experience as a Line 1 (and a Projector) is that people will recognise the deep knowledge you have about certain subjects. When they need to access some of that knowledge they will come to you.

Be ready to share!

Sharing information can take many forms – spoken, written, visual, kinesthetic and so on. You don’t need to teach to pass it on, but it may be correct for you to do that.

Find your correct way (using your Strategy & Authority) to pass on your knowledge.

Conclusion

Line 1s need to embrace who they are meant to be!

Don’t hide from your knowledge seeking. Embrace it! Dive in!

Become an expert.

Then share your expertise.

The post 3 Things to Know About a Line 1 appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

How can you connect to your Authority or why would you want to?

Your Authority is one of the cornerstones for aligning to your Human Design.

It helps you to make decisions that you can trust.

It allows you to be empowered to be your own authority.

Connecting with your authority can be life changing.

So, how do you do it?

1. Know how your Authority is meant to work.

The first step in connecting with your authority (and using it as a reliable decision-making tool) is to gain knowledge about it.

Do you know how your authority is meant to work?

For example, if you have an Emotional Authority, do you know if it’s individual, tribal or collective and how the wave works?

If it’s Sacral, do you know how to know your yeses and nos?

Gaining some knowledge is the place to start with connecting to your authority.

But, I would also say, use that information as a basis for understanding your authority. Once you start to work with your authority you may find that certain things that are described don’t entirely resonate.

This was certainly the case for me with my Self-Projected Authority. This is one of the less common authorities, only found in Projectors and about 2% of the population.

When I first received my Human Design I read a lot of the stock standard descriptions of the Self-Projected Authority and a lot of it didn’t resonate.

I thought it was just because I was such a newbie and was doing something ‘wrong’. As I got deeper into my HD experiment I realised that at certain turning points in my life I had just known what was the thing I had to do next. I didn’t need a sounding board. My G Centre (the centre of my authority) just led me forward in the correct direction.

This is why Human Design is your experiment. Don’t rely on others to describe your experience!

2. Connect to your Authority and learn what it feels like in your body.

After getting familiar with the knowledge piece about your authority, the next part is really about discovering how it feels in your body.

This could be a sensation, a knowing, a sense of yes or no, a feeling that something is correct for you.

There are many different ways your authority will resonate within your body.

I know for both Mental/Environmental Authority and Lunar Authority your authority is seen as being external rather than internal as all of the others are. Obviously, I don’t have one of those authorities but after hearing both Mental Projectors and Reflectors talk about their authority there seems to be a point of knowingness that you arrive at. This may change from experience to experience, but you will arrive at a point of unexplainable knowingness about your decision. (If this has not been your experience as a Mental Projector or Reflector, I’d love to hear what your experience has been as I am continually striving to understand this more and more.)

With my experiment into connecting more deeply with my authority, I brought into my daily practice a short silent meditation I would do each morning where I would basically ‘chat’ with my G Centre. Through doing this I have become very familiar with what my authority truly feels like.

This may not work for you with your different authority, or it may.

Find some way to feel connected to your authority on a regular basis.

If you don’t know what it feels like in your body, your Mind or other centres will try to override your authority.

Treat your authority like an old friend – because it is!

3. Have a go. Learn about your Authority by using it on minor decisions.

Once you have learnt what you can about your authority and have spent time getting to know what it feels like in your body it is time to build your trust in it.

The thing you really want to recognise is a ‘yes’. Some authorities will tend to work more on sensations that give this feedback, others may have very clear ‘no’ sensations as well.

My authority, Self-Projected, tends to have a clear ‘yes’ feeling, but the ‘no’ may not be quite as obvious. Sometimes if I feel no response in my body. It’s a ‘no’. At other times I will get a very strong push away from something. It varies.

This is what having a go will give you. A much clearer sense of the way your authority communicates with you.

It is best to do your experiment with fairly minor decisions – things related to food or daily activities. I spent a couple of months doing this. After I had done my morning meditation to connect to my authority, I would run through some different options for things to do that day and notice the response. If it had to do with food, I would check in with food I was buying or choices between different things I might eat for a meal or a snack.

Think of this as being like exercise. The more you do it, the stronger you become. With your authority, the more you connect the stronger your trust.

Conclusion

Want to make better decisions?

Get connected to your authority!

The post How can you connect with your Authority? appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

Projectors make up about 20% of the population and are the newest of all the types.

This still means that they are a few hundred years old, but they are still babies in terms of the existence of their type.

Projectors came into existence to support humans in their personal and collective evolution. They have a distinctly different purpose to the other types. They have a different way they are meant to live their life that is in opposition to the way that people are expected to live.

What makes a Projector so different?

There are many things, but three that are distinct are their strategy, their aura and their themes of bitterness and success.

1. Projector Strategy: wait for recognition and an invitation before giving your wisdom.

The Projector strategy is to wait for recognition (or receive recognition) and wait for an invitation. This can feel very restricting as a Projector hearing this for the first time.

Projectors I work with have two common questions:

1. Why do I have to wait? (usually asked with an undertone of bitterness)
2. What is an invitation?

These were probably my first two questions as I attempted to come to terms with what it meant to be a Projector.

It took me a while to realise that it’s not the invitation or recognition that is most important – it is the waiting.

What are you doing while you are waiting?

How are you growing your wisdom?

Are you diving into things that fascinate you?

Are you embracing life and having fun?

When Projectors just focus on being themselves and not trying to force their energy on to others, they become recognised, they become invited, they become magnetic!

2. Projector Aura: penetrating and focused – understanding others at a deep level.

The Projector aura is described as being penetrating and focused. This is both how it feels to others and how it helps Projectors to become wise.

The aura of a Projector is designed for them to be able to see deeply into the essence of another person. This is focused on one person. Unlike a Generator aura, which is able to focus on many, including themselves, a Projector aura is not designed to be like that.

Projectors have been designed to provide deep wisdom to another person because they can understand the other person and their struggles through their penetrating aura.

The Projector aura is the reason why they need invitations. If a Projector is seeing deeply into another person using their aura it can feel quite uncomfortable. If it is unexpected or uninvited it can feel like an energetic invasion. The response from the other person is resistance and rejection.

When someone issues a Projector with an invitation for them to guide them, they are accepting the energy of their aura and there is no resistance.

Even though I’m a Projector, I have experienced this same thing with other Projectors when they have been trying to guide me with their wisdom when it is unsought and unwanted! I will respond to them either by rejecting them or getting angry at them. (Often with a little time and space their wisdom will sink in and I’ll see some of the value in their words.)

Projectors wait for an invitation so others will welcome your wisdom in!

3. Projector Themes: Bitterness and Success. These are your alignment signposts.

Projectors are designed to experience success, whatever success means to them.

True success comes from alignment. Alignment results from the ongoing application of strategy and authority to decisions.

When Projectors are operating outside of their true alignment, they live their life from a place of bitterness. Bitterness is not nice! It is repelling to others and keeps a Projector trapped in victimhood.

Bitterness is something most Projectors have worn as a protective cloak for much of their lives. They have experienced rejection and invisibility over and over again. Each rejection, each time they are unseen by others, adds another layer of bitterness.

You can often identify a Projector living out of alignment. They’ll be the ones saying things like, “It’s not fair! Why did they succeed and I didn’t?” or “Why does that always happen to me?” or “Why does nobody ever listen to me?”

Bitterness is a signpost to a Projector that they are not working with their aura, and they are not using their strategy and authority. 

As you work with these things, a Projector begins to be recognised and invited, becoming more and more magnetic the more they become aligned.

Conclusion

Projectors need to learn to live their life their way, free from the expectations of a society with the view that only hard work is of value. The wisdom that Projectors can provide is far more valuable to people than they expect.

However, those who have been on the end of their invited wisdom have a life that has changed for the better!

The post 3 Things to Know about the Projector Type appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

Manifesting Generators are the real powerhouses of the Human Design types, but they still need to work in alignment with their energy and their design. Things like their strategy and authority are really important to understand.

A Manifesting Generator will have one of two potential authorities – Sacral or Emotional.

When you know how your authority works combined with your strategy of waiting, you will become more and more aligned.

2. Manifesting Generator Strategy: wait to respond (then take action!)

The Manifesting Generator strategy is essentially the same as a Generator because it is connected to the defined Sacral Centre.

Manifesting Generators can struggle with their strategy because the motor they have going to their Throat Centre really gives them a push to just take action and bring something into the world.

Without doing this in response to something external to them, they can burn themselves out. The centre or centres bringing motorised energy to the Throat will provide consistent energy (even if it’s in the case of some motors) when action is in response to something.

If it is not in response, the Sacral will not be sparked and neither will the other motor/s so trying to force it will just wear you out.

The key for Manifesting Generators is to really come to understand when they are responding with a ‘yes’ to something in their environment.

This can often be difficult because Generator types are trained from childhood to ignore or not trust their gut response. 

When you recognise it, the gut response can become like your best friend.

2. Manifesting Generator Aura:  open and enveloping (and impactful), bringing you things to respond to.

The Sacral motor creates the Manifesting Generator aura because it is designed to bring to them things to respond to.

As someone who has an undefined Sacral Centre, I have a lot of experience with feeling the beautifully open and enveloping nature of the auras of Generator types.

The auras truly become magnetic when they are in alignment.

This magnetic quality draws many things towards a Manifesting Generator to respond to – including people and many different things.

It is also important for Manifesting Generators to have an awareness of their environment. If they travel through life with blinkers on, they will miss many opportunities.

So develop your awareness just like you need to develop your connection to your Sacral response.

3. Manifesting Generator Themes: Frustration and Anger moving to Satisfaction and Peace. These are your alignment signposts.

Manifesting Generators will resonate most strongly with the emotions of Frustration and Satisfaction as these are tied to the Sacral response. However, because they have Manifestor energy as part of their makeup, they will also experience the Manifestor themes of Anger and Peace.

Overall, a Manifesting Generator is seeking a life that leaves them feeling satisfied. Because this is tied to workforce energy it is that satisfaction from a job well done! 

When a Manifesting Generator is not following their Strategy and Authority they will feel deeply frustrated but this may also be expressed as anger.

Always remember that the themes are essentially signposts that tell you whether you are moving towards being more aligned with your true energetic self – or not!

When you have the Not-Self theme arising within you, it is a point of reflection. Where have I not been following my strategy and/or my authority?

When a Manifesting Generator feels deeply satisfied with life it gives them a sense of inner peace. This is the signpost that you are aligning with your energy.

Both sides of your emotional themes will come up across your life. There won’t ever be a point where you will be entirely satisfied or entirely without frustration. This is a good thing because it allows you to reflect and grow.

Conclusion

Manifesting Generators are here to be active and do multiple activities that really light them up. They need to ensure that they search for things to spark their interest and energy.

When Manifesting Generators are fully engaged with life and making the correct decisions, they impact all of those around them.

The post 3 Things to Know about the Manifesting Generator Type appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

Manifestors are one of the rarer Human Design types being represented in only about 9% of the population.

Even though they are rare, they have an important role to play in the way in which all the types are codependent on each other. It is important to remember that each type is here to do something important and we all work better when we are our authentic selves.

There are a number of key things to understand about Manifestors, three of which I will be covering here. Although these things are important and will help you to understand this type, it is by no means the complete picture!

1. Manifestor Strategy: inform. Reduce the roadblocks from others.

Manifestors are here to get things started, after receiving an internal signal that it is time to go!

They are great at doing this particularly if they are fully aligned to their design!

Wounded Manifestors may get caught up in mind chatter, or the opinions of others. This stops them from bringing their natural ability for doing into reality.

What Manifestors are not good at is informing! In fact, for a Manifestor this seems to be totally against their nature.

Why do they need to inform, anyway?

This goes back to the fact that all types have a strategy that suits their particular design.

A Manifestor’s aura is closed off to others, so people really can’t sense what they are about to do. When a Manifestor brings something through into the world it can sometimes feel quite shocking and/or confronting to those people who are a part of their life in some way.

Imagine if you worked for a Manifestor boss. It is going to be quite unsettling to go into work one day and all of the sudden have your boss wanting you to do something totally different so you can support them in bringing their new vision into reality.

Imagine how unsettling it would feel if this happened over and over again.

You would at least feel quite unsettled by this. At worst, you might feel so stressed by the constant uncertainty that you would decide to hunt for a new job!

The Manifestor Strategy of informing is essentially there for others.

A Manifestor knows what they want to do and how they want to do it but if they don’t inform others before creating change they will face great resistance or even rebellion from those around them.

If a Manifestor is going to feel peace in their life, they need to ensure those around them know what they are up to. This is not about asking permission, though. This is about giving someone information ahead of time so they will be more supportive of the Manifestor.

2. Manifestor Aura: feels closed and impactful. This quality is about self-preservation.

Let’s talk a little about the Manifestor aura.

When I first started to study Human Design, the Manifestor aura was described as closed and repelling. On reading that, I thought to myself “Thank goodness my aura is not like that. The Projector one is challenging enough.”

As I began to study more and work with Manifestors, I realised that their aura actually works a bit like a protective coat. A Manifestor has no defined Sacral Centre, giving consistent life force or workforce energy. Although they have a motor connection going to their Throat (which is the aspect of their design that allows them to initiate action into the world), they are often fairly open in their designs.

Having a closed aura helps them to resist some of the energy coming from other types. This makes them less susceptible to being swayed by the auras of others. It is almost like there is a cloak that wards off the impact of others.

A Manifestor needs to focus on what they know within themselves. If they had a more open aura they would be constantly bombarded by the energetic impact from others’ auras. This would result in them not being able to truly initiate from within.

Whether it is called repelling or impactful, the second attribute has a similar impact on others. Remember that Manifestors are here to be the spark that sets all of the types into appropriate action. Their aura allows them to have a very blinkered approach, where they are not in need of the opinions and thoughts of others. Their aura is impactful, though, because everyone needs to be aware of and watching Manifestors.

It is not unusual for everyone in a room to be very aware of a Manifestor, and to notice when their impactful aura has arrived or left the room.

3. Manifestor Themes: Peace and Anger. These are your alignment signposts.

Manifestors are designed to live a life of peace.

What does this actually mean?

When a Manifestor has learnt to inform others of their plans and decisions, they will find that there will be less friction and resistance.

This will result in a Manifestor being able to do what they are here to do.

When they are able to initiate things into being and be the spark that sets things in motion, they will feel a deep sense of peace, a sense of rightness about their life.

They won’t feel as though people are trying to control them or manage them or suppress them.. Instead they will experience the freedom that we all desire – to be themselves and for that to be ok. That is the peace Manifestors seek.

On the other hand, if a Manifestor is not informing others or if they are feeling controlled and unable to act in the ways they know they need to, they will experience a very deep well of anger. This anger has often accumulated over many years, starting in childhood.

Remember that the themes of each type act as signposts.

When you are experiencing the more positive feeling, this is a signpost that you are aligning with your energy and using your strategy.

When you are experiencing the Not-Self emotion, this is a sign that you have made some choices that are out of alignment with your type. In the case of the Manifestor, when they feel anger this is showing that they have not been informing others and they are feeling constricted in some way by those around them.

The anger is their signpost and reminder to keep following their strategy. 

Conclusion

If you are a Manifestor, embrace your uniqueness and just be you! But remember to let people know what you are up to – even if that feels uncomfortable. You’re not asking for advice, you are just expressing your decision.

If you are supporting a Manifestor, give them space to bring forth their creations but encourage them to inform you of what they are up to. One way to do this is by setting a positive example by informing them of what you are up to. Positive communication is a two way street, after all!

The post 3 Things to Know about the Manifestor Type appeared first on The Synergy of Us.

Human Design Generators may be the most common type in the population, but they are anything but common!

They are here to bring their unique lifeforce and workforce  energy to the world. Although they are designed to work, that is not the complete story!

The world as a whole is happiest when Generators are making aligned decisions and choosing the work that is correct for them. This brings them deep satisfaction and an energy that contributes to everyone else.

Generators are the true builders of the world and we would be lost without them!

Let’s explore just a few of the things that make them so fascinating and important.

1. Generator Strategy: to wait to respond. Look out for all the opportunities life is bringing you!

A Generator has a defined Sacral Centre and no motors going to the Throat Centre.

The Sacral Centre is meant to operate within the immediate physical environment. It gives off an aura that helps your Strategy to work.

The Generator Strategy is to Wait to Respond.

The idea of waiting can seem quite restricting but that is not the case for Generators. The world will bring you many different things to respond to – you just need to be aware of the things that are coming into your awareness.

What is it you are responding to?

The short answer is – anything! Once you become more aware and attuned to your environment, you will find people, things and environments to respond to. A response is simply something that creates a reaction in your Sacral Centre, pulling you towards a certain action or not.

How do you know whether the response is a ‘yes’ or ‘no’?

The Sacral Centre is very vibrational, so your response should arise from your gut as a vibration. As a young child you probably expressed your yes/no as a vocal vibration. This is often described as ah-ha or uh-uh, but it is particular to you. 

Often you will have lost the connection to this vibration because as children grow they are told they need to use their words. This can have the effect of disconnecting you from your Sacral Response.

People around you may hear it in your voice, particularly when you are saying words that are the opposite to your Sacral response. For example, if you tell a friend that you would love to meet for coffee but you really, deep down, don’t feel in the mood.

Your Sacral provides a binary response – either a yes or a no, so when you have questions that are open-ended it can be difficult to know what your response is. It could be that people get annoyed with you if they say, “What do you want to do?” and you honestly have no idea! If they asked you, “Do you want to eat out?” you would get a much clearer idea of a yes/no.

When you are just learning to connect with your Strategy, it can help if you can ask a trusted person to ask you some yes/no questions so you can have an opportunity to recognise what each one feels like within your body.

2. Generator Aura: feels large and enveloping. This quality attracts many things for you to respond to.

A Generator has an aura that feels almost like an enveloping hug. This is how I experience it as someone who is not a Generator! The feeling of the aura does feel more welcoming in a Generator who is living in a higher vibe state, but it is still there.

The more you follow your Strategy by responding to the things that are right for you, the more magnetic your aura becomes. This brings into your awareness many more things to respond to. 

This almost becomes a cycle – the more you respond, the more you have to respond to – and so on.

You also need to cultivate your own awareness, though. It is entirely possible that life has been sending you things to respond to over and over but you have not noticed!

Your large and enveloping aura is designed to bring you things for your Strategy to respond to. People will be attracted to your energy and will bring you more opportunities.

Always remember that just because there is something to respond to, it doesn’t mean that your response is a ‘yes’. You have a binary response system – yes or no.

Also be aware that ignoring a no response and doing something anyway depletes the huge lifeforce and workforce energy that comes from your Sacral Centre. This centre is a motor which gives you the energy to do the things you are meant to do. If you consistently agree to do things that your Sacral is telling you a ‘no’ for, you will be working against this motorised energy. Essentially, you will be burning your motor out.

If you are struggling with your energy, it’s time to check back in with the things you’ve been saying yes to!

Learn to know your correct response. This will keep expanding your opportunities and keeping your aura magnetic.

3. Generator Themes: Satisfaction and Frustration. These are your alignment signposts.

Every Human Design Type has two themes – they represent the feelings of being your true self and not being your true self – in Human Design termed the Not Self.

These themes work like signposts or signals that help you to see if you are aligning with your Strategy and Authority or not.

The Generator’s themes are satisfaction and frustration. 

Satisfaction comes from you making decisions that are aligned for you, bringing you closer to your true self. This feeling of satisfaction has a vibrational aspect. It is like the “aaahh!” you might say after completing a task that you have found both challenging and interesting. It represents the deep satisfaction you feel after engaging with something that you have been naturally drawn to do. 

When you feel satisfaction, this is a sign that you have made some decisions that are truly correct for you, in alignment with your Strategy and Authority.

Satisfaction is basically positive feedback.

Frustration is the Not Self theme. In other words, it shows when you have tried to force your Sacral energy to engage with a task or job that is not aligned for you. When you do this, you will find it difficult to have access to the consistent energy needed to complete the task. The difficulty may show itself as you constantly making mistakes, or finding that the task takes much longer than expected, or some other obstacles might come through.

These difficulties and obstacles create the emotional reaction of frustration.

Frustration often feels like it needs a physical outlet. Often children feeling frustration will lash out physically, and so can some adults!

When you are feeling this way it is giving you a sign that you have been either saying no to things you should be saying yes to or saying yes to things that are a no from your Sacral. The second option tends to be more draining to your energy.

Check in with yourself when you are feeling frustration. Ask yourself some questions or, even better, get a trusted person to ask you some yes/no questions about some of the choices you have been making. This will give you some clarity around this.

It’s not always possible to change a decision you’ve made, but understanding and reflecting on what happened can help you in the future.

Conclusion

Anyone who has a Generator in their life is deeply blessed!

Honour them and encourage them.

Help them out by asking them yes/no questions.

Enjoy being in their amazing aura.

If you are a Generator, really become best friends with your Sacral Centre.

Learn what a ‘yes’ response is for you and follow it!

Above all, remember that being a Generator is only one facet of all of the aspects of your design that make you uniquely you.
