Introduction to Human Design

Human design is a multidimensional construct that combines astrology, the I Ching, Kabbalah, the chakra system, and quantum physics. Within the human design system, there are primarily five basic types of people in the world, and each type is designed specifically for a specific purpose in life. It is based upon the key assumption that the universe is imparted with life, intelligence, and energy. This energy and intelligence are then radiated and expressed through the human body. Thus, the human design system provides an imperative framework for understanding the energy systems, transformation, and healing in the human body.

Early Inception—The Story of Human Design

The story began in 1983 when a man named Alan Krakower left Canada to travel and eventually found his way to the Spanish island of Ibizahad, where he spent years working as a school teacher. In January 1987, he had an unusual mystical experience followed by an encounter with “a Voice.” This encounter lasted for eight days and eight nights  during which he received a transmission of information—what is known today as the “Human Design System.”  This experience significantly transformed Krakower, and soon after, he changed his name to Ra Uru Hu. Ra became widely known as the reluctant mystic and dedicated the next 25 years of his life to the development and teaching of the System around the world,

Ra was told that the information on Human Design inherently belonged to everyone but was specifically valuable for parents to understand their children. Human Design considers humanity as a huge puzzle with all individuals as its  pieces. Every person is perfect and unique in this puzzle, and every piece is critical for its completion. Humans can add value to Human Design by striving to be the best version of themselves and fulfilling their life purpose.

What is Human Design all About?

Human Design is an art and science of self-discovery. It imparts a desire within us to travel through our inner selves and understand the inherent gifts bestowed upon us. It is based upon the understanding that all of us are unique, perfect, and gifted. We should not consider ourselves imperfect, broken, or as problems that need to be addressed. We are our own people first and ought not to live our lives on another person's design. If someone is living this way, they are not bringing much to the table, and eventually, humanity loses here.

Human Design calculates your customized Human Design chart based on the time and location of your birth. The positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets at the time of your birth are crucial in this computation. When we understand our design, we may employ the energy and pattern given to us at birth to transform and actualize it. We may move in the world unafraid, loving our abilities and having compassion for our flaws. Human Design is a simple and logical concept that does not necessitate any beliefs. It takes a novel approach to spirituality, discussing topics such as definition, inner authority, inner mechanics, accuracy, and differentiation. At first look, this terminology may appear to be a little technical, but underlying it lies the possibility of a profound life-changing experience that only gives you self-love and self-acceptance.

The Five Types of Human Design

There are 5 different Human Design Types in the Human Design system. The Manifestor makes up about 9% of the population. The Generator makes up about 37% of the population. The Manifesting Generator makes up about 33% of the population and the Projector makes up about 21% of the population. The Reflector is very rare and makes up less than 1% of the population.

It is imperative to know your type in order to truly understand your life choices, thinking patterns, and decision-making skills. It provides you with an insight into the way and why you act in a certain life scenario. Such an understanding may enable you to experience many ‘aha’ moments where you know exactly why you are a certain way.

How Can Human Design Help you?

The central message of Human Design is, “You are the only authority in your life”. When you know your type and start living up to it, your vibrations, your energy, and your aura dramatically changes. You will eventually feel empowered and capable enough to handle whatever life throws at you. Your inner capabilities, strength, wisdom, and natural gifts will begin to grow and emerge more strongly. You will first experience the journey of self-exploration and then gradually move towards self-acceptance and self-love.

Furthermore, it will not only help you in owning yourself but also others around you. You will realize that the people you meet and greet every day are a part of your growth process. They are your people and add significant value to your life.

The Human Design chart is akin to a life guidebook. It can assist you in comprehending the story of your life, as well as your accomplishments and mistakes. Your chart can help you figure out what your strengths are and how to use them to make sound judgments. It can be used to describe your unconscious behavioral habits and processes. It gives you the understanding as to what is holding you away from discovering and accepting yourself. After this realization, you stop trying to control everything and allow life to flow through its natural course. You slowly learn to bow and grow along the process. In this way, you allow yourself to experience peace and serenity by taking control of life away from your mind. Your life decisions are thus based upon deeper understanding, wisdom, and futuristic foresight.
