My name is Astrid and I am the founder of palmtreemoments.com. I invite you to join me to dive into the personal development system called Human Design. Let’s talk about Travel, Business, Mindset, Self love and Stress reduction.
And how to translate the insights of the Human Design System into your travel and work life.
Good morning, good afternoon or good evening. Wherever you are listening from. Welcome to this new episode of Travel and Work with Human Design a podcast dedicated to creating a stress free life.
In this episode we dive into the Human Design System. What is the Human Design System and why use it?
The science of Differentiation
Human Design is called the science of differentiation and it is celebrating our unique energy.
It is a personal development tool that is part science and part esoteric wisdom that is mixed together to create a whole new system with the aim to help you reduce friction in your life. It’s about energy and if energy cannot flow because of barriers it causes friction. If you know how to become aware of those barriers and you learn how to break them down, you will experience more flow.
In my introduction episode I told you already a little bit about how I discovered Human Design and how it benefited me.
Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science
Human Design is a mix of old wisdom and new science. It has elements of astrology in it, the Hindu Brahman Chakra system, the Tree of Life system of the Kaballa and the Chinese I-Ching. But is also is based on neutrino energy and kwantum physics.
In short, it is a mix of a lot of knowledge poured into a new mechanical system to create a logical “manual” to rediscover the person you where born to be.
It is not a dogmatic or religieus system and the men who created the system in 1987 said “do not believe me, but experiment with it for yourself. About 25 million people all across the world are using Human Design as a tool in their personal development journey.
It is a holistic but logical and mechanical system based on 2 data points. Your birthday, birth time & birth place and approximately 88 days before you where born.
The Role of Human Design in Personal Development
If you would compare this personal development system with other systems like insights and disk the main difference is that is is based on data and not just a mental exercise with a questionnaire. If you would fill in an insights questionnaire at the beginning of your career and a few year later, you might get a completely different profile as a result.
But with Human Design your chart is fixed because it is based solely on your birth data.
Nature vs. Nurture: Uncovering Authenticity
It is a system that can help you distinguish what is nurture and what is nature. Because we are conditioned to behave a certain way from a very early age.
I was in a plane back to Amsterdam the other day and I am sure you have had the same experience once. A very loudly crying baby being not very happy to be in that plane. When a baby isn’t happy, or is hungry or needs attention you will hear it. The message is pretty clear even though they don’t have words yet to communicate what they need. But their cries that they need something are loud and clear.
And then as we get older we learn to “behave” to mimic our environment, to mirror the behavior of our parents. To be quiet and to adapt to what other people want from us. As humans we grow in cycles of 7 years and in those first 7 years you develop all lot of “survival mechanisms” to fit into your environment and within your tribe, namely the family that you grew up in.
When we go to school we learn to behave like everyone else to fit in. Even though we recognize that we all have different personalities and learn in different ways. We are conditioned and treated to behave as one.
And after school you most likely end up in the work place and there we learn to behave like the company culture desires from us and from their workers force.
As young kids we where for a brief time celebrated for our uniqueness, but that uniqueness is replaced by a lot of mental beliefs about how we think we should be, how we should act and how we should feel. But we kind of lost a little bit of ourselves in that process.
The Instruction Manual for Your Unique Journey
And later in life there comes a time in your life that you perhaps what to go back to “your authentic self”. Maybe you had a burn out. Maybe there was a big live event that spiraled you into a proces of rediscovering who you are and what you want to do in life. Maybe you want to learn more about what is your purpose is. Maybe you just want to have fun with it. It is all good.
And this is where personal development comes in.
Embracing Your Unique Energy
Human Design also reveals how we are energetically wired. How we connect with others around us. How our vibes affect others and where we are affected by the vibes of those who are around us.
We all felt the need for “space” in the times of our pandemic so even though you cannot see energy, we all now we have a certain spark or “energy that we bring to the table”.
Human Design: A Tool for Self-Discovery
😤 Human Design reveals how we experience emotions. Aka “energy in motion”.
🧬 It’s about our core qualities and about the 64 themes in life that we all have access to just like there are 64 codons of your DNA.
🗺️ It’s about what environment we thrive in.
🥘 How we digest food.
ℹ️ It’s about how we take in information and how we digest information.
🛣️ What drives our perspective and motivation.
🙈 What senses are most active.
🤔 How to make choices based on your inner authority.
❤️ And how to distinguish the mental game versus what your body truly want. It’s the heart vs the head choices.
Your personal chart reveals a lot about the role we play in life and gives us a hint at our purpose in life.
Navigating Life's Challenges with Human Design
I like to use this metaphor if I describe what your Human Design Chart is to my coaching clients. 🚢 ⚓
🌊 “ We are all drifting on the ocean of life with our ship, our vehicle of our soul, the body that we got from the genes of our ancestors. Sometimes we catch a good wave and sometimes dark clouds create a storm that we have to navigate through. You just never know what comes next in life.
📖 Your Human Design chart can act as an instruction manual for how your boat “works” and how to steer your ship by making choices that keeps your inner compass aligned. You may not exactly know where you going to, but you will feel when you drifted off course.”
Human Design as a Source of Inspiration for your location independent business
But enough of the symbolism.
And if this was already to woowhoo for you, that is ok. There is even a business language developed based on Human Design. It is called BG5 and your Human Design chart is called a Career chart and the focus lies more on group dynamics, leadership qualities and working with your pitfalls.
Because the creator of this system did recognize that if you would say “based on the position of the planets” that a lot of people would discard the information immediately. But if you would rephrase it to how we unconsciously communicate with each other and how we can be better leaders. There where more people interested into diving into this fascinating knowledge.
I am a pretty practical girl so let’s start breaking down what you actually see when you download a chart in the next episode of Travel and Work with Human Design podcast.
