Discovering how we are intuitively designed

Article BARBARA BRANGAN

Imagine knowing how you are energetically designed to thrive in this lifetime? Imagine if that longed-for manual to your strengths (and weaknesses) did exist, and it was super detailed? I have discovered how we can access this via our Human Design Energetics.

Human Design is a relatively new way to help us understand how unique we are. It combines profoundly esoteric and scientific systems, and it stands on the shoulders of giants. I found my way to Human Design after multiple energy burnouts and extreme frustration despite following ‘success formulas’ for life taught by Spiritual Teachers and Business Coaches. I surrendered and asked God/Universe/Spirit Guides (you name it, as I asked them all) to show me how to navigate this life with ease while also making a positive difference. Human Design is where they brought me, so I decided to experiment with it. My logical brain loves how our design is calculated using astrology, Chinese i-ching, Hindu Chakras, Kabbalah Tree of Life and more.

One of the biggest gifts of knowing and using our Human Design is how we each have a unique decision-making process that allows us to make decisions with ease. We can make decisions we can trust without feeling like we are sacrificing possible opportunities. We have a strategy that acts as a filter for choosing which options are right for us. If you don’t get a green light from your strategy, you don’t proceed, and therefore you don’t waste energy on stuff that won’t lead you to success.

The guiding principle for Human Design is that we are a collective of individuals on this planet, and when we collaborate and recognise each of our talents, we thrive collectively. It guides us away from competition and lack mindset towards knowing and trusting that there is enough for everyone. There is a consciousness guiding us to understand when to align with the right opportunity. To know which strategy is the perfect fit for you, we look at your Human Design Energy type. If you are unsure of your energy type, you can request a free report, all I need are your birth details. If you do already know your Human Design energy type, here are some insights to consider:

GENERATORS AND MANIFESTING GENERATORS

Your energetic aura is so powerful and magnetic that opportunities come to you all day, every day, only you may not realise this. Your job is to filter them out with your response strategy. To activate this, as soon as something new comes into your life, you pause and check-in to see how it made you feel. There are two options, you’ll immediately feel excited or satisfied, or the opposite which is frustration. The feeling will be instantaneous. You may even notice a sound emits from you which is like excitement, and you say “oooh” or for the wrong decision say “ugh”. Once you cultivate the trust to only continue with decisions that you get a yes or excited feeling about, you’ll notice more exciting opportunities show up. You’ll also have a deep sense of fulfilment and satisfaction.

PROJECTORS

You have an innate gift of reading and sensing the auras of other people around you. You can see deep into their Soul and are genuinely motivated to help them thrive, heal or flourish. However, for this information to be received and heard, you need to acknowledge that this is the sacred personal space belonging to another you observe, so it’s crucial that you ‘wait for the invitation’ before you disclose what you know or sense. If you proceed with giving insights or suggestions without being asked or recognised for your knowledge, it will be ignored. Being ignored is Soul-crushing for a Projector. However, when you know and trust that people are craving your wisdom, you can have faith that the right people will ask for it. Waiting helps you conserve your energy and lead you on the path to success.

MANIFESTORS

You truly are a pioneer for this world; you can see, sense, and know ways to improve our world and lives for the better. You are an explorer on the verge of new worlds. Your strategy to ensure you are heard and understood is to inform those around you before making significant changes or sharing profound insights. This strategy is, in fact, not for you; it’s more to warm those around you up to the juiciness of your wisdom. If you don’t drip-feed some small pieces first, it can feel to other energy human design types that your energy is coming at them too fast, and they won’t be able to take it in. When you give them an intro and feel their positive response, you will have the green light to keep sharing.

REFLECTORS

You are the wise Souls wrapped up in a young body; the knowledge you have access to has accumulated across many lifetimes. You absorb the thinking, feeling, pressure, sense of identity and survival instincts from those around you. This is a gift you have to walk in another’s shoes. However, the fact that you absorb and intuitively feel so much means you need time, oodles of time to ensure you are making the best choice for you individually; you hate being forced to make quick decisions. The theory for reflectors is to wait for an entire lunar cycle, which is 28 days, as you are in sync with the natural rhythms of the planets. Depending on the amount of energy you need to commit to an opportunity will vary on whether you’ll need to wait a full 28 days or not. You’ll know if you’ve made the right choice if you feel excited and surprised, and you’ll see if it’s perhaps the wrong choice if you feel disappointed or uneasy.

As soon as you begin trusting your strategy, you can unlock more about your design to support you to consciously evolve, communicate effectively and develop an energetic rhythm to thrive.

I have discovered that almost 90% of people who already know their Human Design may not have accurate Human Design information. Most websites that offer you free Human Design reports use tropical astrology as part of their calculations; however, I have seen profound alignment occur much faster when exploring your design using 13-sign sidereal astrology which is a direct reflection of the constellations on the day you were born, improving the accuracy of your design interpretation.
