Myth Busting Human Design Misconceptions
Next month, I am starting our next cohort in the Advanced Human Design Certification (last chance for early bird TOMORROW!). And it got me thinking about how important it is to receive your information from a reliable, empowering source (the internet can be a dark place!).
I am so passionate about sharing Human Design in an empowered, IN-DEPTH, highly personalised, intuitive way. If it feels constrictive & prohibitive - firstly, question where you are getting your information from. And secondly, leave it!!
Here are some big MYTHS I see people think and say that we need to BANISH:
MYTH: Manifestors are always extroverted
Many Manifestors don’t resonate with the “loud trailblazer” stereotype. Because they are here to initiate, it is often assumed they must be naturally extroverted & a ball-buster (based on patriarchal ways of leadership). But often Manifestors are introverted and prefer solitude or small, intimate gatherings over being in large groups or the center of attention. Being a Manifestor has nothing to do with their level of extroversion or introversion. Being authentically you is.
MYTH: Generators & MGs are the workhorses with endless energy
You are not a slave. I repeat. You are not designed to self sacrifice and just make someone else’s dreams or success come true. You have incredible access to life force energy but only when it is from a full gut yes. Otherwise, it will only drain & suppress you. You need rest and recovery time also - your body isn’t meant to go, go, go always.
Every human needs rest & open space - even lit up Generators or MGs. The most important thing is that you listen to your body and be mindful that the most satisfying rest comes when you’ve fully used up your energy doing things you love, whether it’s working, moving your body, or spending time with your favourite people.
MYTH: 4 profile lines like to network
Traditional networking is a 4 line worst nightmare. Being in a contrived place with a bunch of strangers that you need to work the room - no thank you! 4 lines are people persons but only to their people. They are the glue that holds their close community together - that may even just be a few people. Quality over quantity always. Never draining your energy on relationships that don’t serve or make you happy.
MYTH: 2 profile lines feel like a natural genius
Not usually the case on first-instance - but Human Design helps you see and value your inner genius. 2 lines are designed to lean into what feels most natural, because it is for a reason. Most of the time though (prior to finding HD), 2 profile lines have blindspots on what they are so naturally gifted at, or they don't think it's a big deal. It is often assumed that if it is “easy”, then it must be the same for everyone. NO! You are here to serve the world with exactly THAT. Let HD illuminate your strengths & PURPOSE.
MYTH: Projectors must passively wait for people to invite them into life
No!! This is the most disempowering narrative. You do not, I repeat, do NOT need an invite to start a business, do something new, follow your bliss in anyway. It is just a mechanism to ensure that you don’t waste your energy on sharing your gifts with people & places that don’t see or value you - because what’s the point! You will just feel bitter. You only need an invitation when it is giving guidance, going into business collaboration in their space & in relationship (so you know you’re valued as you). Otherwise, do your thing!
When it does come to receiving invites in work & life, it is not a passive process. People can’t invite you if they don’t know you exist or what you can offer them. Projectors attract invitations when they cultivate their gifts & mastery (mine is Human Design - best to choose a modality you are curious in), recognise their value & make themselves visible - letting the world know they exist & have powerful gifts to share. Never begging, just sharing value that invites people in to want more. Once that recognition is established - there will be no shortage of invites
MYTH: Reflectors can’t be around people because they are too sensitive.
The right people & places will not always take from you. You just need to be discerning of how much you can or want to take on. When you are connected & attuned to your body, and honour it’s responses - you will leave situations before it’s fully overwhelmed your system. You need to be your own advocate & are never powerless.
MYTH: MGs and Generators will always be sure when it’s 100% a gut yes
Most people have very overactive minds that talk us out of what our gut or intuition says. Your gut speaks & two seconds later your mind talks you out of it. Especially if you have an emotional authority, it can create indecision & doubt. So many wait for certainty but that doesn’t exist in intuitive living. Moving forward despite the doubt will help you create a stronger trusting relationship with your gut & create more of what you want.
ALWAYS use your strategy & authority when deciding what is true for you. Don’t just take anything for face value, it’s all meant to be your experimentation and embodiment of what feels best and right for you.
Love,
