MINDFULNESS IN HUMAN DESIGN

Human Design teaches us to use our energy for the right things and avoid the wrong ones. We often decide with our minds and bypass our body’s unique intelligence. The mind can explore interesting ideas, and we enjoy reflecting on them. This is a correct use of the mind. However, our minds are not made to know what is right for us. In Human Design, mindfulness is not about the mind.

Mindfulness comes from the body’s intelligence. Human Design says the mind is like a car passenger. The mind’s proper role is to sit back, enjoy the ride, and not fight your body’s wisdom for the steering wheel. Human Design’s tools—Strategy and Authority—help the mind stay comfortable in the back seat.

Human Design doesn’t tell you your level of consciousness or awareness. It won’t define your moral compass, values, or politics. However, it will reveal what motivates you. It highlights the themes that run consistently through your life. These themes are the areas you’re compelled to explore because that’s where your gifts lie. Your Human Design chart is a map and blueprint of your true way of being. By following that map, you are practicing mindfulness; that is, you are being aware of who you are meant to be.  

In the practice of mindfulness, we purposely bring our attention to the present moment, without judgment. We see ourselves as we are. This is what Human Design does: it shows you your Design, and there is no judgment!

How Human Design Supports Mindfulness

The Human Design system – its very structure – reveals that we are designed to use our lives to serve the evolution of humanity. It shows that we are intended to honor the integrity of our bodies so that we can be more and give more. We are designed to care for each other and to make peaceful agreements that allow others to be more and give more.  We are designed to live in integrity with who we truly are and with one another.

This state of mindfulness about how to live as individuals and in community keeps us healthy and thriving. We are meant to experience a more beautiful world when we honor the power of well-being for ourselves and others.  

As has already been mentioned, we do not use our minds for decisions in Human Design. We rely on mindfulness, which means being present with the body’s wisdom.

How To Access Your Body’s Wisdom

The primary mindfulness tool is Strategy, or being present to body wisdom. Strategy is unique to your Type and matches your Type’s energy flow. It gives key information about the right choices for you. Each Type has a Strategy: Projectors wait to be Invited, Manifestors Inform, Generators and Manifesting Generators use their Sacral Response, and Reflectors wait at least one Lunar Cycle.

A secondary tool that supports mindfulness is Authority. It flavors the way you use your Strategy. There are seven kinds of authority:

      • Sacral
      • Splenic
      • Emotional Solar Plexus⠀
      • Ego (Will)⠀
      • Self-Projected⠀
      • Mental-Projected⠀
      • Lunar⠀

Your Authority is used in conjunction with your Strategy. Authority assists you with the timing of entering into a new commitment of your energy. Timing is directly related to waiting for an intuitive sense or feeling of the correct moment to move forward.

In Human Design, Mindfulness means that we remember to:

      • Love ourselves
      • Trust ourselves
      • Stand in our power
      • Stay deeply aligned with our authentic selves.
      • Make the choices that are correct for us.
      • Move forward with our true story, and not sit in old stories that aren’t worthy of us.
      • Take care of our bodies and our spirits so that we stay energetic and vital.
      • Work on our sense of value so that we can allow ourselves to receive what we need to fulfill our purpose and mission.
