How Human Design can change your life
For all of us - human beings - there is an innate desire to belong, actually it’s evolutionary. We’re hardwired to want to be a part of a group, a tribe, a community. Because back when we were all roaming tribes, being a part of a community meant safety and protection. Lone wolves probably didn’t fare very well.
In our modern world, this biological desire to belong to the dominant group sees us try to squeeze our selves into versions of us that we feel will be more accepted by other people - maybe we don’t say everything on our mind in case other people take it the wrong way, or we dress conservatively so we don’t stand out too much, or we live by the prescribed expectations of the society or culture in which we grow up in. We study, we work, we get married, we retire, we die. And following that course is not a bad thing, but sometimes in following what society/family/friends/work colleagues feel is the right path or way to do life, we lose our inner sense of who we are, perhaps of who we’ve always been.
Human Design can be the bridge that helps us return to who we’ve always been - under all the noise of who the world may have taught us to be.
Learning about my design wasn’t revelatory, it was reaffirming. It put into words what I’ve always known about myself - deep within - but didn’t know was a gift or strength to nurture. I did a reading for an existing client and he shared: “I feel so seen”. That’s exactly what I felt when I first learnt of my design. It’s what I hope to deliver to everyone in my consultations, all of which are now underpinned by Human Design.
While I believe in the power of this system and language wholeheartedly, it’s not a rulebook, not another label by which to judge or measure ourselves. Instead, at least in the way I see it, it can offer a roadmap back to who you are deep within - when all you’ve listened to for a long time is the noise of the outside world. It’s a cosmic blueprint to your most authentic self, giving you the language to see yourself in new ways and the permission to embrace all of your differences.
As Brene Brown so beautifully put it… we belong when we brave the wildness of being ourselves. When we accept and perhaps even celebrate our differences rather than try to eradicate or suppress them so we can be like everyone else. Rather than homogenisation, we need differentiation, and a celebration of difference in the world - in people, in cultures, in languages, in belief systems, in perceptions and thoughts and ways of being, seeing and doing.
Human Design offers a beautiful way to return to what makes us who we are, and different, and in doing so, how we are also universally the same - all perfect puzzle pieces in a larger jigsaw of the world.
