Explore the five Human Design personality types—manifesto, generator, manifesting generator, projector, and reflector—and how their unique roles and strategies align when centers are defined or open.
The manifestor strategy requires informing anyone who could be affected before initiating action. Informing is a courtesy, not asking permission, and helps avoid resistance.
Explore the manifestor’s role as the initiator, nine percent of the population, who informs others before acting, and how not-self anger arises from skipping that warning.
Explore the not-self generator and why waiting to respond beats initiating actions. Follow a daughter following her strategy, waiting to respond, teaching massage therapy and yoga at Lifelong Learning Institute.
Learn how generators manage sacral energy by exhausting themselves before sleep and avoiding a second wind. Understand asking them yes-or-no questions, staying methodical, and waiting to respond.
Review the generator type, about 37 percent of people, who provide lifeforce energy and work by waiting to respond to outer reality, avoiding frustration, with examples of famous generators.
Manifesting generators are generators with a motor linked to the throat, delivering sustainable life-force energy from a defined sacral center, making them fast and efficient workers for physical labor.
Manifesting generators follow a two-step strategy: wait to respond and inform others before taking action, a practice shown to ease life and improve communication.
Discover the not-self theme of manifesting generators, where frustration and anger arise from pushing and not waiting to respond; learn to wait, inform others, and initiate only when appropriate.
Explore the energy blueprint of reflectors, the rarest human design type, with all white or open centers, making them highly sensitive to the environment and able to sense issues early.
Learn how reflectors mirror their environment without identifying with it, and why location location location, solitude, and choosing their friends wisely sustain their energy and awe.
Reflectors are sensitive mirrors needing safe retreat and solitude; not designed to operate under pressure, environment guides where they live and work, and who they live and work with.
Dealing with your own quirks and traits can be challenging by itself at times, but life generally gets a lot more challenging when you are dealing with other people. Why do people react so differently to similar situations? What makes each of us so unique?
Human Design identifies 5 distinct energy types and knowing your type is a starting point for making the right decisions in life. Knowing your partner's or friend's energy type can give you considerably greater insight into and empathy for their motivations and reactions.
This course explains each of the 5 types and describes:
