As many of you may have seen on Instagram lately, I have been fascinated by The Human Design. So what exactly is Human Design? Think of it like a personality-testing-best-of-roundup: it's like an astrological natal chart, the I-Ching, a Myers-Briggs test, and an Enneagram all got freaky and gave birth to a new system of breaking down all the different aspects that make up our personalities. It is by far the most powerful self-help tool I have come across.
Of course, throughout one's journey and spiritual awakening, we become obsessed with many things as we first start to awaken. First, it may be the full moons, crystals, going to psychic readings, tarot cards. All tools meant to help one live a more intentional life. I also then believe that we get to a point of the simple, loving realization that there isn't anything anyone can tell you that you already don't know deep down inside. That we are all one, connected, that there is no point to labels, that we embody so much. That the good, bad, and the ugly that we see, or envy or are triggered by in others are simply because we see ourselves in them. That this beautiful journey is all just a game to enlightenment and that a lot of our answers and manifestations are on the other end of de-conditioning the parental and societal programming that we picked up on from the ages of 0-13.
In the midst of this beautiful human experience, we are all on and journey to become our most whole and authentic selves. I have found a few tools that really helped me understand my unique humanness. That really made sense to me and lit a light bulb, in the way to help me in navigating my life. The Human Design being one of the more profound and relatable ones. This science has helped me cope and accept myself, perfectly as I am.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DISCOVERING YOUR HUMAN DESIGN
Written by Alix Ortiz
Whether you are new to human design or have spent time immersed in the
subject, it is essential in order to sustain an understanding of the true self. Discovering your design is a process of reconnecting with your unique skills and purpose that unveils intuitive decision making in personal and professional relationships and overall well being. Frustration fades away and you are left with an awareness of how to claim your space and harness your potential, naturally and confidently.
There is a misconception in spiritual circles that higher living comes with the goal of self-mastery (Journey into Power, pg 190). Discovering your design reframes the spiritual journey by allowing your true nature to be your guide. The framework does not ask you to change who you are, rather the opposite. When you think of it as a surrender, it removes the idea that you need to “fix” yourself but rather enlightens you to who you are at your core and how you are meant to be in harmony with yourself and others. The tools open space in order to make the right decisions for what is meant for you and enables you to connect with others in meaningful ways.
Discouragement from feeling like you are your own worst enemy is universal. When you are no longer in opposition with yourself and those around you, you find yourself operating from a space of authenticity and freedom. Discovering your type and strategy empowers you to live in your design with the knowledge to remove barriers that facilitate negative energy in order to experience your signature, most authentic self.
What 3 things does my design type tell me?
Your type provides insight into how to uniquely approach decision making (your strategy), the interaction between your aura and those around you, and what it looks like living in thriving (signature) or “not self” themes. Your inner authority is the guide which answers how you naturally approach making healthy decisions.
With this knowledge, you will realize that you naturally begin to know:
- How to break cycles One reason we find ourselves operating in negative space can be because of years of conditioning and external expectations that are not meant for us. The deeper you dive into understanding your design, the quicker you can recognize what is meant for you. The ability to trace the source of conflict within yourself frees you to let your best self come forward.
- How to reframe perspectives and leverage your strength Instead of passively allowing situations to unfold and emotions to take over, you can identify perspectives that are not yours to hold. Aligning your outlook towards what is happening around you with your true self gives you the power to choose instead of react.
- How to observe and monitor sign posts. When you know the signs of your signature and not self, you can pause and reflect. As a Manifestor, have I been feeling angry? As a projector have I been walking in bitterness? Take a moment, and thank yourself for realizing that it does not define you. From there you can remove decisions and states of mind that are not yours and let your true self take the lead.

Benefits of understanding your human design
After digging into my human design type, I’ve been finding myself in a lot of aha moments. The light has come on in areas where I have been feeling like I am taking one step forward and three steps back. What is funny is that before looking into my design type, there was an underlying deep knowing all along about what I truly needed but ignored due to all of the “should be” reasoning I had been telling myself. This is why it is important to know your design, to dig up weeds that are preventing prosperity and allow yourself to “be”.
- Gain a more compassionate understanding of yourself and others
- Strengthen relationships and connect with others in meaningful ways
- Open space for what truly is meant for you
