Don’t believe a thing I tell you, try it for yourself.

What is Human Design?
Human Design is a system that combines ancient and modern science and offers a practical approach to re-connecting with our uniqueness through experimentation. Each person has a personal navigation tool (unique chart) which can be considered a ‘user manual’ for life. Since each manual is different, we’re on our own path – and the only way to determine its validity is to try it out. It is not a belief system. It’s a logical, experiential system in which we can experiment with its mechanics and discover if it works for us.
Using exact birth information, our unique chart (a blueprint/genetic design) is generated. It represents our talents, skills and potential, along with how we are designed to interact in the world. Environmental influences and conditioning are revealed – highlighting areas of challenge and potential suffering. Our chart offers insight into our psychology, as well as our conscious and unconscious aspects.
Education and experimentation assist in awakening our innate wisdom and power. Using our inner guidance system, we can apply practical techniques for decision-making that connect us with our truth. Making the correct decisions can enhance and improve the overall quality of our life.
Being true to who we are can result in overall health and well-being improvements, enhanced relationships, and fulfillment in professional life. Benefits of living correctly include: managing challenges without overwhelm; reducing or even eliminating confusion, stress and fears; decreasing resistance; and feeling more at ease.
The process is not easy in the beginning. It can be challenging to overcome lifelong habits. Commitment and courage are needed to de-condition and re-connect with our unique birthright.
There is a ‘checks and balance’ system to determine if we are living in accordance with our true nature. Similar to grades in school, we can evaluate our current status at any point in time. Are we experiencing one of the following – peace, satisfaction, success or surprise? It is the reward for living our uniqueness. On the other hand, are we meeting resistance and encountering anger, frustration, bitterness or disappointment? That is a signpost for not living true to ourselves. Our unique chart determines which one of the four reward/resistance checks is relevant to us: Peace/Anger, Satisfaction/Frustration, Success/Bitterness or Surprise/Disappointment.

Human Design Experimenters
For those who have been experimenting with Human Design, you may notice that most of the technical terms have not been used on my site. This is merely for simplicity, and in no way negates any of Ra Uru Hu’s work. Mary Ann Winiger created her version of ‘The Simple’ and I feel called to simplify that even further – making it easy for others to grasp this incredible and life-changing knowledge.
What you can rely on – you’ve never relied on in your life. What you can’t trust – you’ve been trying to trust all your life. What you’ve been trusting – has never been you. What you’ve been ignoring – has always been you. Try to trust what is really you and see what happens.
