IN MY MANIFESTING GENERATOR ERA
I recently attended a meetup to learn about Human Design hosted by the wonderful Elyse Preston. If you're not following her already, you definitely should!
Human Design is a new concept that has gained popularity among people who seek a better understanding of themselves and others. It is a unique system that combines principles from various fields, such as astrology, the I Ching, Judaic Kabbalah, Vedic philosophy, modern physics, and the Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, to create a personalized profile for each individual.
There are five types of Human Design: Manifestor, Generator, Projector, Reflector, and Manifesting Generator. Each type has a distinct role to play in the world. You can learn more about your type and the characteristics of each type by entering your birth info here.
In theory, knowing your Human Design type can help you make better choices and lead a more fulfilling life. For example, since I'm a Manifesting Generator, I've discovered I do best when I pursue my passions and react to possibilities that come my way.
This year, I had the opportunity to co-found Allelo Coffee Co. and started planning wellness retreats to the farm in Brazil. (Launching next month!)
Before I learned about Human Design, I hesitated to share my many other passion projects. I was worried people might think I was scatterbrained, not good at running my digital marketing business, and all over the place. But the truth is, I enjoy learning new things and building new projects. I've immersed myself in the world of coffee and travel. It makes me feel fulfilled, alive, and happy.
I’m still skeptical regarding systems like astrology, tarot, and human design. But I’m starting to care less about the black-and-white scientific proof of these tools. If learning about Human Design can help me better accept parts of myself that I hid from, isn’t that enough?
