Using Human Design to Unravel the Depths of Your Conscious and Subconscious Mind

Everyone is born with a set personality, traits, strengths and weaknesses. These factors make us who we are and differentiate us from others. Yet, what if there were insights into how we were created? Imagine the possibilities of knowing yourself wholeheartedly — who you are, how you are and what motivates you — so you always make the best decisions for the highest life satisfaction.

Human Design has taught people how to make better choices in recent years, paving a more direct path toward their purpose. Here’s how to use and interpret your Human Design chart to live your best life.

What Is Human Design?

Were you ever expected to follow in your parents’ footsteps growing up? It could be to play on the high school football team or enter the medical field. You may have followed through, even if it wasn’t the right move for you.

Human Design breaks down years of conditioning. It negates people’s and cultures’ perceptions of who or what we’re supposed to be or do, encouraging us to behold our newfound self-awareness and put it into action.

Ra Uru Hu developed the Human Design System in the 1980s — an integration of ancient and modern sciences for understanding the self. The concept is essentially an energy blueprint that draws from astrology, astronomy, biochemistry, Kabbalah, I Ching, the chakras, quantum mechanics and genetics. Yet, it is not religion-based and doesn’t utilize sacred rituals.

In fact, Human Design is comparable to Myers-Briggs, which delves into one’s personality and how they move through the world. Instead, Human Design teaches you how to live more authentically with your innate gifts.

Understanding the Mind With Human Design

There are numerous benefits of using a Human Design to understand the conscious and subconscious mind, including the following:

• Highlights the unique gifts you have to offer the world

• Deepens your compassion, non-judgement and forgiveness toward others

• Teaches you self-compassion

• Delivers insight into what you need to thrive

• Fosters more authentic relaciones with others

The self-awareness you gain from studying your Human Design makeup can save you from years of self-criticism, limiting beliefs and trauma. For instance, children with trauma are five times more likely to have alcoholism in adulthood. However, when they embrace Human Design, they learn to trust their decisions and their abilities to let go of their pain, anxieties and sense of danger or harm.

Others might use the Human Design System to match themselves with the perfect career. You can also refer to your chart to determine your compatibility with a partner or take your power back after heartbreak. Sadly, there’s a 39% chance of a marriage ending in divorce.

Human Design Chart Interpretation

Like astrology reports, the Human Design chart requires your birth date and year. You’ll also need to provide your birth hour, minute and location for the most accurate results.

Interpreting your Human Design chart is tricky if you’re new to the concept. You may need clarification on what each part of the report means. The first thing you will learn is what your Human Design type is:

• Manifestor: Autonomous individuals who develop ideas and set plans into motion

• Generator: Open and energetic individuals most excited to do things they enjoy

• Manifesting Generator: A jack-of-all-trades type with numerous interests and passions — excellent sharers of information and insight

• Projector: Values input, feedback and insights to put the right foot forward — not exactly hustlers but approach life with efficiency and consciousness

• Reflector: Intuitive, sensitive and open individuals using their empathy to determine areas of improvement.

Other Components of Your Human Design Chart

Each Human Design type teaches new ways of existing in the world. However, knowing your type is one of many things you must interpret. For instance, your “not-self” is how you feel when trying to be someone else.

For example, Manifestors get angry when caged in or restricted, while Reflectors tend to feel let down by others or stagnant in their surroundings. Additionally, the Projectors’ not-self is bitterness —a result of feeling underappreciated — while Generators and Manifesting Generators get frustrated.

Other components of your Human Design chart interpretation will include the following:

• Inner and Outer Authority: The foundation of decision-making and self-awareness based on listening internally and external expressions

• Definitions: How your energy centers communicate to make decisions and process information and the types of people we’re attracted to

• Profile: A deeper assessment of what makes us all different from each other, such as who you are and how you identify with the world around you

• Incarnation Cross: Your life’s purpose when aligned with your type and authority

• Variable: Provides a roadmap from self-awareness to living out life experiences

The “Nine” Centers: Various focal points inside the body transmit energy while influencing one’s behaviors

The Nine Centers of Human Design include traditional chakras. Of the 14% of Americans who practice meditation, chakra healing is one of the most popular forms.

Your Human Design chart is essential as you begin the deconditioning process. Consider that the last 100,000 years of evolution and 20,000 genes and mutations have helped our species survive. You’ll only continue living in fear and crisis as you do today unless you begin unraveling your thoughts and reactions.

Human Design Is a Tool to Know Yourself

There’s much to learn about your subconscious and conscious mind with Human Design. Those who believe they’re here for a reason can know more about their authentic selves and how to achieve optimal life satisfaction.
