Why Human Design is About Empowerment

I don’t like doing things I don’t feel like doing. I don’t like it when other people tell me what to do either. (Especially if I think I know better.) My idea of a perfect world is one where everyone has the ability to do the things they love and only need to listen to their inner guidance to direct them on where to go next. Sounds nice, right? And I truthfully don’t think this is that far out of the realm of possibility. We all have a wealth of knowledge right in our bodies and energy field that will show us exactly where we need to go, if we can learn to listen to it. Human Design is a tool that shows you how to dial into that personal frequency. It gives you permission to peel back all the layers of social conditioning, guilt, shame, and everything else that has led you to lose touch with that inner knowledge. What it should not do, is make you feel limited. 

I was recently scrolling through Instagram and saw a video from a prominent spiritual influencer (who I absolutely love!) discussing Human Design and the importance of following your heart no matter what your design is. I won’t get too deep into it but the general gist she shared was something like, “A lot of people think I’m [insert Type] because I’m so driven and make things happen but I’m really [this Type] which surprises people.” She so perfectly hit the misconceptions about Human Design right on the head (and gave me the perfect thing to respond to!), so here I am relieving some throat center pressure and expressing why we need to toss out these sorts of misconceptions. 

First and foremost, Human Design – or any other sort of archetypal tool – should never make you feel like you cannot do something. You can lead, you can initiate, you can work all day, you can ask that person out, you can follow your dreams, there is no such thing as a limitation in your chart. In fact, we all have the wisdom of every part of the Human Design chart and energy within each one of us, there are just some energies that we connect more strongly with at different times. This tool is here to show you the importance of being unique and not feeling like you have to do things like everyone else – and that stands for other people who have your same Type, Profile, Incarnation Cross, etc. There are over 2 billion possible configurations in the chart and we are all living a slightly different expression of each. 

The first big misconception I see all the time is people wanting to be Manifestors or Manifesting Generators because they think they don’t have permission to start things or create otherwise. (To that, I love to counter with the fact that Barack Obama is a Projector.) Generators can respond and jump into creation mode by scrolling through Instagram (this is not limited to responding to social media, of course)and seeing something that inspires them. Projectors just need to follow the things they love and showcase how much they know to be throttled into leading. Reflectors can look for places and people that make them feel delighted and really good to start whatever their hearts want. Manifestors and Manifesting Generators have to foster a space of peace to channel the right inspiration to start things (which, if you’ve ever met a Manifestor/Mani Gen, isn’t a piece of cake either!). 

But the bottom line here is if something lights you up and brings you a sense of deep fulfillment, know it is meant for you. Human Design can help you learn how to go about pursuing your dreams in an even more empowered way by cutting out a lot of the garbage that might slow you down. We’re all so strongly pulled by our inner purpose that it will find us no matter what. As a Human Design reader, I just want to help you save some time sifting through the clutter. I think most of the people who I speak to about their Human Design know EXACTLY what they want and how to go about it, they just have a some past trauma and fear holding them back. I tell people all the time after I read their chart and something shifts that it has absolutely nothing to do with ME, they finally gave THEMSELVES permission to get what they want. 

This all gets to the quantum magic embedded in Human Design, which isn’t really magic at all. You can access every possible experience you want for yourself, all it takes is some tweaking of your mindset and the willingness to accept the fact that you are an active creator of your world. That is what I hope to show you by reading your Human Design chart. Everything on it is yours and everything you do with it is yours as well. Knowing my design has helped me free up a lot of space, heal parts of me that were holding me back, and finally acknowledge that I’m a powerful creative being who CAN do what she wants – you know, as long as I’m not harming anything or one… 

So, what misconceptions do you have? And can I help you peel back those icky layers to help you see the truth of your power? Let me know!
