How to Apply Human Design To Your Life
Human Design is here to teach us how to make decisions in a way that is right for who we uniquely are.
We are all different, and this is what the Human Design chart shows us - we all come into this world with our own individualized combination of active and dormant energies that translate into our strengths, weaknesses, experiences, and purpose. If you take the time to truly grasp the concept of Human Design, it will lead you to understanding and compassion for yourself, others, and the larger world. There are no accidents, there are no mistakes, we are all perfect as we are.
The mistake we can make, however, is to use our energy incorrectly and work against our individual design. We use our energy incorrectly when we don’t know ourselves, forget who we are, or we try to be someone we are not. When we relax into ourselves and understand how to tune into ourselves in order to make decisions that will lead us toward fulfillment, we will experience a life that unfolds with less struggle, inner turmoil, and confusion.
Here are some things to keep in mind as you learn about Human Design and integrate it into your life:
The important thing with this System, as with anything external to you, is that you take what elevates you and resonates with you, and leave the rest. Religion has sought to control spirituality and force us to place our power outside of ourselves - don’t turn Human Design into another thing you are trying to fit yourself into. It seeks to do the opposite of that and liberate you to live life as yourself!
Human Design doesn’t exist outside of the real world. We still live in a world with discrimination and prejudice of all kinds - racism, sexism, body type, LGBTQIA+, and systems, power structures, and hierarchies that affect all of us, but will have a bigger effect on you depending on who you are and what you look like. Even if we live our design “perfectly,” the outside can still get in our way. It’s important to give ourselves grace with that.
When in doubt, always focus on Type, Strategy, and Authority. I’m convinced that a person could study Human Design for decades and still learn something new every day. The intricacies are interesting, but if you follow your Strategy and Authority, the rest will take care of itself.
Remember to put what you learn into action! Human Design celebrates the experience of being a body moving through space. Knowing things is great, but experiencing them is the most important part.
Unless you were raised with no conditioning (almost impossible on this planet right now), expect to confront some discomfort as you begin to live from your Strategy and Authority. Living from internal guidance is not something we are exposed to very much, and it takes some practice.
Enjoy this process. Be curious about yourself. Be curious about those around you. Allow ease and expansive acceptance to enter your life as you understand more about yourself and others.

Conditioning societies to make decisions based on outside influences has only take us so far - it’s time to shift to following our internal authority! If you are willing to take the risk and live according to who you truly are, you are helping bring us into a new era of being human. Every person’s individual piece is important!
