1. What is Human Design?

In a nutshell, it is a self-discovery, self-help, and self-growth tool.

Human Design is:

an easy way to identify the role or character you were born to play
a way to identify your purpose
a way to learn how to 'do' your purpose
an easy way to get along with the people in your life

Generally speaking, Human Design is a mashup of ancient philosophies and archetypes. These archetypes, characters, or roles are easily recognized because they are part of our collective consciousness.

Unfortunately, the understanding and practice of these roles have NOT kept up with our modern, industrial, and technical world.

We no longer share a common understanding of the roles we play in society.

The result is that everyone has a “feeling” that they are here for a specific reason, but they don’t know what it is.

Human Design identifies your reason for being here. It eliminates the guesswork.

It clarifies your purpose and tells you how to work it into your life’s decisions and your relationships.

It answers the questions such as:

Who am I?
Why am I here?
What is my life’s purpose?
How do I start “doing” my purpose?

The answers to these questions are possible when you know your Human Design.

Your Human Design chart is beautiful to look at. - It is abstract and colorful.

But what does it mean?
What do you do with it?

Have a look at your chart and locate the major headings written on it.

These are your Keynotes. They are:

1. Type

For now, and for the rest of your life, the most important keynotes to focus on are your Type and Strategy. Knowing these two things inside and out is the key to hitting the ground running with Human Design. - Get a clear, simple, and actionable breakdown of the Human Design Types from our store.

Pro Tip:

For those of you who have the keynote Emotional Authority written on your chart, it’s important to know that you need to wait for some time to pass before making big decisions. This ensures that your decisions are accurate and solid before you make them.

What is a Human Design Reading?

A traditional Human Design reading involves sitting with a Human Design expert and having them explain your chart to you. You can ask questions and get some guidance about how to start using your Design. Every specialist has their unique spin on Human Design readings. It is important to find a good fit when scheduling a Human Design reading.

My two cents:

I have done many Human Design readings for clients. I have experimented with many different formats.

I have learned that some formats can be overwhelming for a beginner. They can get in the way of the “doing” of your Human Design... which is where the magic is!

You can come away believing your Design is too complicated and you'll never understand it.

More commonly, you can get stuck thinking you don’t know enough to begin using it... And instead continually fall down research rabbit holes.

Has any of this happened to you?

You’re convinced it won’t work unless you know everything about it?
You simply don’t know what to do with the information?

When I was a beginner to Human Design...

I had a reading by a very knowledgeable HD reader... but I came away feeling very overwhelmed.

To this day, I have not listened to the recording that was provided.

All I remembered was my type and strategy.

The best thing about that reading was that the reader gave me the space to cry with relief because now I understood why nothing ever worked out the way I planned.

I now knew that I wasn't some sort of freak. I was just uniquely me!

This lovely, caring person also gave me the room to vent about how hard my life had been up until I learned my Design. All important and good stuff.

What I didn’t get from that reading was the opportunity to follow up. - It wasn't a thing back then.

I didn’t get ongoing, specific, and practical advice about how to apply the information to my daily life.

I learned my design by taking a lot of classes, practicing on my own, and making a lot of mistakes. The trial and error method worked for me because it is a part of my design and it is how I learn best.

But, most people don't have the time for that type of learning. -- Do you?

Does your Design have a trial and error learning style?

If you don't know the answer to that question, then a Human Design reading or coaching session will clarify that for you. - Believe it or not, just that bit of knowledge can make a big difference to self-understanding and quality of life.

I learned my Human Design in 2006. I became a therapist in 2015.

I found being a therapist really frustrating. I knew if I could use Human Design in my work it would make a world of difference. - It would give my clients more control in their livew when they weren't with me. They could heal or fix what they came in for faster than with just talking.

This is why I’ve added Human Design to the counseling and coaching work that I do.

I teach people Human Design and I coach them to use it in their unique circumstances.
