✦ Human Design
Not “who to become.” Who you already are.
Human Design is a relatively new system, born in 1987, that synthesizes five ancient bodies of wisdom — astrology, I Ching, Kabbalah and the Indian chakra system — with modern insights from quantum physics. The result is a clear map of your energetic mechanics called the bodygraph.
Unlike astrology, Human Design does not describe “what kind of character you have” but how you are wired to function — how you make decisions, exchange energy with others, when you are in your flow and when you are not.
When you live by your design you feel relief, satisfaction, success or surprise — depending on your type. When you go against it, the familiar states of bitterness, frustration, anger or panic appear. Human Design is a practical tool for de-conditioning.
