Hello everybody and welcome to the Awaken Together podcast.
I am Jen and today I'm having on a very special guest and she is going to share with us all
about human design.
I discovered her profile on TikTok, found her on Instagram, and I just immediately resonated
with her energy and wanted to hear so much more about human design from her.
So without further ado, welcome Michelle.
Hello, thank you so much for having me.
We are so pumped.
We have definitely referred to human design a couple of times so this episode has been
long awaited.
I'm so excited to dive in.
I could talk about human design all day long.
I feel the very same about astrology and it was really funny.
The first time I had ever even heard of the term human design, I had made a post on Instagram
when I first started my business account and I was sharing that I was a type 6 enneagram,
what my big three was in astrology, what my love language was, what my Myers-Briggs was,
and then a girl commented in my section.
She was like, oh, if you're really into this stuff, maybe you should check out this thing
called human design and I was like, oh, okay, let me look at it.
And that opened a whole door and I was like, I think I need to pause this because I'm going
to be so into this that I think I need to integrate in like small chunks.
Totally.
I agree.
Like if you're into astrology, I feel like human design is just kind of like the different
side to the same story.
It's very similar.
And I mean, human design incorporates astrology aspects into it.
So it's already like, ooh, this is going to be really interesting.
I love it.
Yeah.
Can you go ahead and tell us at the beginning of the episode for anyone that wants to follow
along just what human design is and maybe how you can look up a basic chart so that
if people want to follow along with the information we share, they can do it.
Yeah, of course.
So if you've never heard of human design before, like don't feel bad.
It is not nearly as mainstream as I feel like it is just because I talk about it every single
day, but when I go home or talk to any of my friends that are not into the online space,
they have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.
So human design, it ultimately is an understanding of your aura or your energy.
So it combines a lot of different modalities like quantum physics, the Kabbalah system,
feng shing, astrology to create this beautiful body graph.
And your body graph is really this blueprint to understanding the person, the soul, the
being that you were designed to be.
I'm a firm believer that the second you are born is when you are living as your most authentic
self and as we age, we kind of lose that because we start to condition or change who we are,
what we say, how we dress, what we eat, what we act like to fit into our family, to fit
into society.
And we get conditioned to believe that some things are good and some things are bad, all
depending on how you were raised, partially genetics as well.
So human design, I feel is this tool to kind of go back to who you were that second you
were born and see those qualities and work through the wounding and the generational
trauma that your body and your mind are holding onto so that you can get back to living a
satisfying, fulfilling life as your most authentic self.
Oh, so well said.
I love it.
So good.
Yeah.
So that's a little empowering to know that you already have all of those amazing qualities
within you because you've already been them, right?
So there's nothing in your human design that you've never been because usually as children,
we live out our human design very well because we have very little conditioning.
And as we get older, that's when we start to stray away from it.
So if you have never pulled your human design chart before, there are a few websites that
you can use.
I am not affiliated with any of them, but My Body Graph is a great resource.
And myhumandesign.com is another amazing resource.
You can go to either of those websites.
You can honestly just Google human design and there will likely be a free chart reader.
Do not pay.
Like if something is asking you to pay, like don't pay for it.
Like you can get your chart for free.
And all you need is your birthday, your birth time, and your birthplace.
So is it important to have an accurate birth time?
I would say yes.
Maybe not as important as in astrology.
Yeah, it's a big deal.
The degrees are a really big deal.
But as close as possible is just going to give you the most accurate information.
But overall, most people's charts don't change that much throughout the day depending on
the situation.
So if you don't have your birth time, you can just run a few times throughout the entire
day.
Or if you know you were born in the morning, run a few charts in the morning.
And then just really focus on your type, your strategy, and your authority.
Because those are the three most fundamental pieces of your design and everything else
is dependent that you're living according to those three things.
Thank you.
That is so helpful.
So yeah, if you want to pause and just pull it up, that could be kind of helpful to have
as we go through the episode.
When you first pull up your human design chart, it looks like a different language.
If you don't know it, I was like, whoa, this looks crazy.
But I love it.
And yeah, I immediately started opening like 10 tabs up and was searching all the little
things trying to piece my own little chart together when I first started.
But Michelle, can you tell me how you fell onto human design and just kind of what your
life looks like since you've incorporated a little bit of that and added it to your
path?
Yeah, totally.
So it's so easy to get into that human design rabbit hole.
That was me for a year.
I would just work and listen to human design YouTube videos and podcasts and I would read
all the books.
And that was long before I decided to even start spreading this message with other people.
Yeah.
But yeah, so my journey with human design is pretty, I would say, I want to say common,
maybe not.
So for the first 27 years of my life, I lived very normal, normal as can be.
Right.
I went to high school, graduated to college, graduated, went to graduate school, got a
master's degree in molecular biology.
So almost like the complete opposite degree as spiritual anything.
Then I got married, got a full time job, very following America's ladder of life.
And when I was 27, I was working my first salary full time job.
My husband got the opportunity to get a job in Florida.
So we had lived in Wisconsin at the time and we both were raised there our entire life.
Like we had most of our family, all of our friends.
And we decided to go for it.
We figured we could always move back if it didn't work out.
And life is worth taking risks for.
So we moved to Florida where we knew no one.
And I was starting to work remotely.
So this is before everything that happened in 2020.
It was actually in the middle of 2019.
So this was my first time working remotely.
And then moving away to a new city was like very isolating.
I was spending all day by myself.
I had no friends here outside of my husband who's gone at work all day.
And I was very busy back home.
Like I was a yoga instructor.
I taught group fitness.
So I was always like with my friends or I was at the studio.
So I was like fairly busy back home.
So then when I moved, I caught myself with all this free time.
And my clients back home were like, we still want to do classes with you.
So can you do some coaching online?
So I said, sure.
I started like doing my group fitness online for the studio.
And this kind of prompted me to want to go into the online coaching space.
Because I was like, I have all this free time.
Might as well go for it.
And as I was starting to build my business in 2019 is when I came across human design.
Because if any of you have started a business online, I feel like personal development is
like a huge aspect of that.
So naturally, as I was starting to learn more about becoming a better version of myself,
I stumbled across human design.
And I loved it and hated it at the same time.
So when I first pulled my chart and found out I was a projector, I was actually pretty
angry that I wanted to be a manifesting generator.
Because I read about all the types before I actually pulled mine.
Because I wanted to be like, oh, I want to be a manifesting generator.
And when I wasn't one, I was so mad.
So mad.
So I studied human design for a year after that.
And I was obsessed.
But do not follow in my footsteps.
Because what I did was I just studied, but I didn't apply anything.
So my life didn't really change for that first year, even though I had copious amounts of
human design knowledge.
Because I was too afraid to apply these practices into my real life.
And it takes a little bit like, I believe everyone's journey is on its path for a reason.
And for me personally, the reason that I found human design so hard to embody was because
I had to come to terms with the way that I've been living my life for 27 years was wrong.
And it's not easy to just be like, oh, yeah, everything I've been doing is wrong.
Let me just do it a brand new way.
So the past three years have really been breaking down all of the conditioning and the beliefs
that I had, especially around work and worth and output.
Because I'm an airy sun, Capricorn moon, let me tell you, I love to work.
I saw it.
And I saw your cancer rising.
I was looking at your stuff.
I was like, I love it.
Yeah, I'm a mess.
We're going to have to definitely nerd out on the links of human design and astrology.
But we'll put that on the slide.
Definitely.
But even in my human design, I have a right angle cross of service.
I have a lot of root pressure energy.
So it's just like there's a lot within my design that I am here to work.
But that looks so different.
So if you are reading about your human design and you feel like it doesn't resonate, it's
very likely that you're just really, really conditioned because that was exactly where
I was.
I was conditioned to be a manifesting generator.
I was raised by a single father who is a manifesting generator.
So I'm not surprised that that's how I was acting.
And society kind of pushes you to be a manifest, a manifest or manifesting generator as well.
So I was just overworking.
And when I pulled my chart, it said, you're meant to rest and only work like three to
four hours a day.
I was like, no, there's no way you can be successful doing that.
But I've been really pushing my limits within not only my full time career, but also in
my business by prioritizing myself, prioritizing my rest and actually working less.
And I've been prospering and getting more done and still seeing so much success.
So give it a chance, even if it doesn't feel right, it's going to feel challenging, but
it is so life changing.
So like now where I'm at today, three years later after finding out my human design, my
marriage, oh my gosh, it has completely transformed my marriage because I can understand my husband
at an energetic level, even though he doesn't understand human design, me understanding
mine and how his work together and how I can now see him so differently.
I have so much more compassion and so much more understanding.
And it completely just transforms the way that I communicate.
Understanding my authority.
So that's how you're meant to make decisions has been a game changer.
It helps me feel confident in who I am and what I want and what I'm doing.
And really for the first time, I think in my entire life, so I'm turning 30 in like
eight days, I finally feel the most confident in who I am and what I'm doing.
And I used to think that I was confident, but now I know that it was a false confidence.
And this is now knowing my human design.
This is a true grounding core stability that I can't really describe until you get here.
Oh my gosh.
I love it, Michelle.
So such a beautiful story.
I definitely want to hear really practically like what all of you honoring your authority
and what that looks like and even just honing in on what it looks like to know your partner's
energy body.
But I definitely want to kind of explain what those things are a little bit.
So if you're listening along, you have that reference.
But yeah, thank you for sharing that story.
And I feel like kind of similar when I fell onto astrology.
I think human design will come a lot easier as I continue to like learn it.
But it took a long time for me to embody any of the stuff because I also was very surprised
of the accuracy of it.
I think I kind of went into this like logical minded, like let me try to find air in this
like before I like believed in all of it.
You know, it's just really shocking to sign up for the belief system, even that we have
like kind of a soul blueprint and that there's this way we came into the world and honoring
that maybe you felt that way a little bit as you learned human design, but it takes
a while to embody because you're also so shocked that there's this.
Yeah, there's these systems that have kind of pointed that we have a soul blueprint that
blew my mind at the very beginning of my spiritual kind of journey.
Oh, yeah, same.
And I mean, so I'm kind of learning astrology in reverse because when I was younger, I wrote
off astrology so bad because of a pop mainstream astrology.
Yeah, I was an Aries and I did not resonate with like being hot tempered, wanting to fight
people.
I was like, I'm not an Aries.
Like this is so not real.
I'm like, this doesn't resonate, but then when I learned about my big three and then
I was like, oh, wait, like this is a way more in depth.
This is way more accurate.
So I feel like human design is very similar.
Like people learn about their type and they don't resonate with certain aspects.
So they might just write it off.
But your type is very similar to like your sun sign in astrology.
Like it's important for you to understand.
But there are other aspects, like once you get a little bit more in depth that can kind
of be what we call conundrum.
So like different parts of your design can kind of make you feel like they counter contradict
each other, but you just have to kind of like experiment with it and find that balance and
find it's a spectrum.
So I feel like that's what's so great about human design is we're pulling away from this
binary view of like, this is me, that's you.
It's like we can be on this spectrum of energy.
So like some projectors are going to have more energy than other projectors.
It doesn't mean every single projector has to work three hours.
Same with like managens, right?
Some are going to be way more energetically elevated than others, all depending on other
aspects of your chart.
So really starting to shift to this view of I'm a managens, so I'm hyper to, oh, this
is a spectrum.
Where does my energy fall on this energetic spectrum?
Yeah.
Yeah, it makes so much sense.
And yeah, so it's like piecing together a puzzle piece and it sounds very intricate.
And yeah, there's a lot of pieces that add up.
So I'll share a little bit.
When I first pulled up my chart, I'm a manifesting generator.
I read into my profile, which was like a 4.6.
I had a sacral authority and I was just kind of like Googling all of this stuff.
And yeah, it felt like it set really well with me.
And I definitely, yeah, it definitely piqued my interest.
But one of the more unique, I have a friend that's a manifester.
And when I read hers, I've always had like a unique time, like reading her energy.
She's felt like kind of a different energy body to me.
And piecing together, I got my workbook from Michelle, which will tell you how to do that
at the end of the episode.
But I have like some open centers and closed centers.
So when you look at your body graph, you're going to see your energy type and you're also
going to see some colored spots in your chart and then some open spots.
And I just found it very interesting that with my manifestor friend, I just had a harder
time picking up on her energy compared to some people.
And when I read that their auras are a lot more controlled and they can almost like close
it off, is that correct, Michelle?
Yeah, yeah.
I thought that was so wild because I usually can pick up on people's energy really specific.
I have a lot of projector friends.
And so just to read that the auras are different person to person, I found that very fascinating,
especially with doing energy work.
So that really, really piqued my interest.
But let's go over, can you tell us what all the energy types are?
And yeah, just kind of a basic of that.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll do like a brief overview of each of the types.
So yeah, generator, so there's generators, manifesting generators, manifestors, projectors
and reflectors.
So there's five energy types.
Generators and manifesting generators are very similar.
They're like cousins.
Some human design experts categorize them as generators.
So if you're looking through material and you see any information about a generator
is also going to apply to a manifesting generator.
There just might be a couple nuances with being a manifesting generator.
So just think about it as like a different flavor.
Yeah.
But for generators and manifesting generators, y'all are the most popular types.
And I know that that's sometimes annoying.
I know when I was younger and I would take all these tests, I always wanted to be like
the most rare one, like no one gets.
But as now knowing that I'm part of like the 30%, 20% of the rest of the world, it's not
awesome because life isn't designed for the rest of us, but it is designed for you.
So know that really you're here on earth to do what you love, like and master the human
experience.
Like that's what you're here to do as a generator and a mani-gen.
So following your gut, like having a physical body response to the things that you do in
your life are key.
So if anything, like everything you do, just listen to your body.
And if your body's telling you like a full body, yes, like that's, that's your indicator.
Is there a difference in the aura for a manifesting generator and generator because it's supposed
to be, we have kind of more of an out like can take on the room, right?
A little bit more than others.
Yeah.
So when you look at the different auras of the different types, the generator mani-gen
aura is technically the same, but the way that it works can be a little differently.
So your aura is open and enveloping.
So when I think, when I was originally taught about an aura, right, it's like that energy
field that's like a bubble six feet around you.
That is the generator, the mani-gen aura.
It's very like circular.
It's open.
You, you kind of play ping pong with the universe.
Like you're meant to respond and to signs and things you see outside of you.
So that's why your aura is very magnetic because you're really here to attract exactly what
the universe wants to bring to you so that you can respond with your gut and decide if
it's for you or not.
So you can think of your life as literally you're sitting on a beautiful throne and people
are just bringing plates of options to you and you just get to sit back and listen to
your gut and look at it and say, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no, yes, no.
So it's like how beautiful of a life is that?
It sits well because I have always, since I was very young, just, I always am in conversation.
People just flock to me and it's very, very funny.
Like in public, my husband's a projector.
And when he, like we first started dating, he's like strangers really come up to you
a lot.
Like I've never seen anything like it.
And yeah, this has been a common thing for me.
And so I always, it's interesting though, with boundaries, you really have to like,
yeah, pay attention because when, yeah, your aura kind of sucks up a lot.
I have more of the energy for it, but it also is wild.
It's how many situations come up for me all the time that I have to decide what to do
with.
So fascinating.
I think of the generator mani gen aura almost as like a warm blanket.
Like it's just this comforting, attractive, juicy energy that people just want to be around,
right?
And that's why those strangers, they just come up to you and people just want to talk
to you because it's just like, Ooh, like that energy is just a very attractive, especially
when you're doing something that is lighting you up.
So when your energy is higher, when your frequency is higher, it's just going to attract even
more.
So that's really, if you want to increase your, your magnetism as a generator or a mani
gen, just do things that light you up, that make you really happy and boom, you're going
to, you're going to just see all these opportunities and these different things kind of popping
up into your world effortlessly.
Amazing.
All right.
Give us projectors.
Let's see it.
Yeah.
So projectors are very opposite.
We're usually not the people that people come flocking to when we walk into a room and we
can feel very overshadowed by our generator mani gen friends.
But as a projector, so we make up 20% of the population and our strategy.
So the way we navigate throughout this life is we're meant to wait for an invitation.
So what in tarnation does that mean?
So as projectors, we are here to provide wisdom through our perspective, not really through
what we do.
So that's why we're, we're really, I think about the projectors almost like, like the
shamans of a tribe, right?
They would just kind of hang out in their hut, do their own thing, always be walking
around and everyone's just like, what are they doing?
And they're like, oh, that's just our tribe shaman.
Like they're just, don't mind them.
They're going to talk to the birds and they're going to like dig in the dirt.
It's fine.
But whenever you have a problem, you go to them, like they're going to help you.
So that's kind of how I imagine this projector energy is like, we really are here to kind
of just explore what we love, do what we love, get really, really smart and good at it.
And by doing that, people are going to flock to us because then they recognize us as someone
who can help them with that particular thing.
And we provide them with our wisdom, our ways that they could do things better.
So this generator projector relationship is so important because for you as a generator,
as you're responding to the world, as you're navigating and mastering, right, your own
human experience, you're going to hit plateaus.
And that's when a projector can really see where you can manage your energy better in
a way that you would never be able to see by yourself.
So projectors, we're here to help you understand yourself better because we can just see you
in, it's almost like we can see you in high def and you can't really, you see yourself
in like 720.
So our perspective as projectors is what's important.
So don't get so focused on like your working output.
That's not what we were designed to do.
We were designed to really have the wisdom and waiting for the invitation is just waiting
for someone to ask for your advice or your wisdom before you give it to them.
There's nothing more repelling than a projector spewing out, I know everything.
And let me tell you, that was the first like 27 years of my life, telling everyone that
I knew what was best for them.
And I was right.
I mean, most of the time I was, but people aren't going to listen to you if they didn't
ask because that energy is just repelling.
So our aura as projectors is very focused.
So think of it as like almost a funnel forward.
So our aura goes like a hundred percent into the person that we're communicating with.
And if you're communicating with someone who maybe doesn't want your information or maybe
doesn't see you as someone that can help them, your advice, your wisdom is going to feel
like knives kind of like cutting their skin.
And that's when they get irritated, they get frustrated, they don't take your advice.
And then usually projectors turn that inward as, wow, I must not know what I'm talking
about because they didn't listen to me when that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
So projectors, I know that waiting for the invitation makes you feel like, well, I'm
never going to talk again.
No one's ever going to ask me for my advice.
I promise you that they will.
If and what you want to focus on instead of focusing on the invitation, focus on yourself,
focus on becoming an expert at the things that you like.
If you want people to come to you for relationship advice, improve your relationship.
And just by you doing that, they are going to observe and see you as someone who has
a beautiful flourishing relationship and naturally come to you for your advice.
Beautiful.
I know the projectors that are in our inner circle are going to love this information.
Give us a little breakdown of manifestors and then reflectors.
I'm loving this.
Yeah.
So manifestors then, so I don't know if I said, but projectors are 20% of the population.
So generators and managens are 70%.
And then now we're getting into the smaller groups.
And I know that these percentages sound smaller, but even with like manifestors, they make
up about nine to 10%.
But that's still like millions of people.
And then reflectors make up 1% of the population.
I've never found a reflector in the wild.
I told you.
Really?
I think I attract them for some reason because I have so many reflectors in my space.
Wild.
I think it's just because I go above and beyond to try and understand them because I feel
like they get left out so much because people don't talk about their type as much because
they feel like there's not as many.
But I love my reflector.
Love it.
Anyway, so manifestors make up about 10% of the population and manifestors are, you're
really here to kind of do whatever you want.
Like amazing.
Back in the day, manifestors were the king and queens of this world.
Like they were the ones who kind of ran the show.
But because of the way that society is changing, manifestors aren't needed as much in this
new society.
So now energetically, manifestors kind of just want to be left alone to like do their
own thing.
They don't want to lead people as much.
And they don't have to.
But what's so beautiful about the manifestor energy is that you are truly a catalyst for
innovation, for new things.
Like you are like this direct connection through source in a way that you don't need anything
externally to move through life.
So generators and managens, they're meant to respond.
So they need to wait for a sign before they move forward with something.
Projectors are meant to wait for an invitation before they share their wisdom with someone.
So you're really here to just let everyone know what you're doing so that they can get
out of your way.
If you get this really big urge to go create an app, you go do it.
If you have an urge to open a restaurant, you listen to your authority and you go do
it.
So you're really here to just create, but you're not always here to finish.
So your energy is very cyclical, so understand that you might start a lot of things and not
finish them, and that's okay.
That's not really your place.
You're here to let people know what you're doing, create when it feels good, and then
allow yourself to rest and pass it off to the generators, the managens, so that they
can then bring that to completion.
Awesome.
And I think it's good to hear it through the aura because manifestors can close off their
aura.
They're not taking on that uncomfortable energy of people's doubt.
I feel like when I go to do something, I'm picking up a lot of things and I have to decide
not to let people's opinions affect me.
I feel like manifestors are very good because they can't always receive the outside, maybe
the auras, they can charge at things with a lot more efficiency because they're not
taking on other people's shit.
Totally.
And I mean, I think every manifester knows that they've been different.
It's very apparent at a young age that people don't get them, and they really can take that
on and get very conditioned.
I think manifestors can be the most conditioned, even more so than projectors, because manifestors
can be difficult children.
They're children who are meant to do whatever they want, and parents don't typically let
their kids do whatever they want.
So they are taught at a very young age that they aren't meant to follow those inner urges,
and bringing that power back out can be tough.
The manifest aura is so unique that even other manifestors can't see where other manifestors
are coming from.
It's not like they have this inner language.
It's like, yeah, their aura is so individual, and it can be so close that even other manifestors
can't understand where they're coming from.
And that's why informing is so important.
It might seem annoying having to tell people all the time what you're doing and what you're
thinking, but it's really just for the sake of them not breaking your creative flow, not
getting in your way, because us projectors and generators, we just don't know what you're
doing.
We don't know what you're thinking.
And we're going to ask you a trillion questions, and we're going to try and get in the way,
and we're going to try and help where we might not be helpful.
So that's just why informing is so key for the manifestor.
Wild.
Yeah, that sits, and it's so wild as someone who just picks up on auras with my big magnetic
aura all the time.
Manifestors throw me.
I'm watching them, and I'm like, I'm not getting anything.
And I think I was around so many projectors that as I started having a few more manifesting
friends, projectors have such a strong energy exchange when they're focused on you that
I feel it.
And then to have someone where I just don't feel much of anything and having to figure
it out based on what they're saying, it was like, that was so crazy to read, to fit with
some of the friends that I have that are manifestors.
I was blown away by that.
I love it.
Yeah, give us reflectors as a final, and then we'll go into a little bit of what the profile
means.
Yeah.
So the reflector.
So you're going to hear you referred to as the unicorn and as the mirror.
But what's so amazing about the reflector is that you're really here to understand the
collective as a whole.
You're here to really understand the other very well.
So if you're a reflector, that means you have no centers defined.
So when you look at your body graph, it's going to be all white.
And I just want you to know that that's great.
There's nothing wrong with your body graph.
It's not broken.
There's not something wrong with you.
That's just you are able to take in wisdom from the planets and from all the people around
you.
And having undefined centers is actually where you gain your wisdom.
So you are the most wise of all the types.
And you get to experience what it feels like to be every single type.
So your energy is just so dynamic.
And getting comfortable and getting used to that is so important because that's the whole
point.
Your strategy is to wait a lunar cycle.
And this is because the moon is able to move through your body graph and it changes your
definition.
So some days you might feel like a projector.
Some days you might feel like a manifesting generator.
And the way that you show up in your everyday life is going to be very different, dependent
on the energy that you're feeling that day.
So you can follow along with the transits.
So that just means where the planets are in space is going to change the energy that's
being activated in your body graph.
But you can also just do this on a personal level.
Every morning when you wake up, just acknowledge where your energy is at for that day.
And then base your to-do list or your activities based off of that energy.
And I know so many reflectors want this consistency.
They want this routine.
And for some of you, that's going to be obtainable because of other parts of your design.
But for some of you, you may never feel that quote unquote routine that you're looking
for.
So give yourself grace to create a new definition of routine as a reflector.
And know that as you're making decisions, so you are moving through this lunar cycle,
talk things out with other people, journal it out throughout the whole month, and then
kind of come to those conclusions.
Because that's going to be really key.
Because your aura is sampling.
So what that means is that you're able to take bits and pieces from everyone around
you and get this really collective understanding.
So many gens and gens, they're kind of open and they're just attracting all.
They can just attract the energy that's around them.
Reflector we're very focused, so we really do well with one person, having a lot of energy
in a room can be overwhelming for a projector because we don't know where to focus.
Manifestors their aura is closed, so the other auras around them don't really have an impact.
But for you as a reflector, you're able to really take a little bit of everyone's aura
in a space.
And you can take on the characteristics of those auras.
So if your health or your energy is really low, you can look around the energies that
you've been surrounding yourself with and start to recognize, ooh, maybe because I'm
so fatigued, I have so much brain fog, I'm feeling so tired.
Maybe the people around me are also feeling this way.
And that's why I'm showing up this way.
And then that can really, again, help you kind of initiate conversation or maybe provide
insight or help to someone that hasn't communicated that they needed it because you just have
that innate wisdom.
I truly think that all reflectors are the true definition of empathic, whether they
believe it or not.
Wild.
So cool.
I got to find me a reflector.
So so so cool.
So you pull up your chart, you see your energy type, you see your strategy and authority,
and then there's like the profile and the gate.
Can you just give us a little overview of just what that means?
Yeah.
So the your type, your strategy.
So your strategy is type dependent.
So every projector is going to have the same strategy.
Every generator is going to have the same strategy.
But your authority, that's how you're meant to make decisions and your authority is going
to to change depending on your center definition.
So definitely make sure that before you start exploring your profile and your centers, like
these are kind of three fundamental pieces that you truly understand, because again,
everything else in your chart is dependent on you following your strategy and your authority.
And it's an experiment.
So you're never going to be 100% following your strategy and authority.
But as long as you are putting it into practice while you also are learning to understand
these other aspects, it can be really powerful.
So your profile is the first piece of your design that really makes you different.
So like I had said earlier, talking about things on a spectrum, every projector is not
going to be the same.
Every generator is not going to be the same.
So a lot of that information is just very general.
So your profile is the first piece that starts to bring a little bit more specificity to
you as an individual.
So the profile is kind of like your costume.
So you're going to and that's like the role you play as your energy type.
So you're going to really resonate with people who have the same profile as you.
Even if they have a different type, you're still going to kind of have this similar understanding
of the way that you navigate this world.
So for an example, like I'm a 3-5 profile and the way that I learn, the way that I interact
with other people, so the way that I learn to gain my wisdom as a projector to provide
my insight while I wait for the invitation is very different than say someone who is
a 2-4.
So even though our strategy is the same, like the way we gain our wisdom and the way that
we help people is going to be completely different.
So learning and understanding the lines in your profile can really kind of help you see
not only like this, the way that you move through the world, but also kind of your karma
and this like either you have personal karma or transpersonal karma.
So kind of like your life path, like everyone's life path is a little bit different and your
profile can give you insight on that.
One awesome great information.
I did not know that and I think it's very interesting that similar profiles will relate
to each other, super interesting.
Yeah, yeah.
And then the centers, right?
Yeah.
And then there's like, yeah, there's the defined and undefined centers that are, are they type
very varied?
Like is every single generator going to have same open centers or closed centers?
So no, yes and no is kind of the answer for that.
Every generator and every manifesting generator will always have their safe role defined.
So that's really the only center that will always be defined in those two types.
And then in manifestors, reflectors and projectors, they will always not have their safe role defined.
So that's like the only center that is guaranteed dependent on your type.
For manifesting generators and for manifestors, there is another quality.
So to be a manifesting generator, you have to have your safe role defined and you have
to have your throat center connected to a motor center.
So your motor centers are your emotional solar plexus, your heart, your will.
I think it's called your ego.
So that center has three names.
Yeah.
You have your safe role and then the root is also a motor.
So safe role defined throat to a root or throat to a motor is going to make you a mani-gen.
A manifester will always have their throat connected to a motor, but not have their safe
role defined.
Okay.
So that's kind of where your manifestor quality comes from by being a mani-gen.
And that is where it sounds like it gets so deep.
We need the help of Michelle to help explain our chart deeper.
I love it though.
It's so good to hear how intricate it can get with all the systems.
I love it.
One of the questions that popped into my head that I'm curious about as well, if this is
very high level, just an overview is fine.
Is there different responses you'll have with someone?
So say you have the same, you both have an undefined center, the same.
Is there like a connection when you're with someone with the same open centers versus
if you find someone that has maybe a closed center, whether yours is open, is there like
an energy exchange that's unique there?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
So when you have a center that's white, so it's not colored in, that means you have it
undefined and that just means you don't have that energy consistently.
And then if you have it colored in, that means you have that energy defined and you have
it consistently.
So you have that energy all the time and that's actually the energy you put out into the world.
So when you say that like I'm around someone right now, I'm interacting with Jen, who is
a Manny Jen.
So she has her sacral defined, I do not.
So I am taking in her sacral energy through this conversation and I'm going to feel a
little hyper after this probably.
I'm going to feel energized.
I'm going to probably want to work and like do things, but I have to remember that this
is an energy I have consistently.
So it's going to eventually go away and I need to recognize that I need to rest once
it's gone.
That problem with conditioning is that we think that we still have that energy even
when it's gone.
So we try and act like we have that energy when we don't.
And what's so beautiful too is that there is an aura created when you're actually communicating
with someone.
So there's connection charts and two people can have centers that are undefined.
So say Jen and I both had our throats.
Well, I know she doesn't have her throat.
So we'll say the spleen.
We both have our spleen undefined, but we each have one gate like coming from different
centers.
So we can create connections that could define that center when we're together.
That normally it wouldn't be defined for either of us.
So that's a really high level of human design.
I would totally recommend to get a connection chart with someone that you love, just kind
of like see where it's at.
But it is just, it's so powerful that once you get an understanding of the different
qualities of each of the centers, the centers are like chakras.
So they each hold their own energy ports.
You can really start to feel and pick up on the different energies of people you're around
where you can kind of tell, oh, I bet you they're a defined head center or I bet you
they're a defined sake roll when you have that center undefined because you can feel
a shift within yourself.
Like I know I mean, mind blowing.
Oh my gosh.
So, so cool.
Yeah, and it really shows the connect, like the reason we all need each other.
I mean, I think that's should be an obvious, but how cool is it that each person kind of
brings out a different side of us?
And I think, you know, there's kind of a negative light to, I think, I think in society growing
up of like mimicking people or copying and there's kind of this, yeah, it's just, I guess
it shows the bigger picture of how each person is going to bring out a little different side
of us and that's okay.
And that's what makes it really beautiful.
Just connection in general.
Oh yeah, I agree.
I feel like we all were designed to create, to be a very specific role in the collective
and it can be difficult when potentially your role isn't what society deems as worthy.
So just always knowing that like when you align with who you really are internally,
regardless of the things that you may have to do for work or whatever, like when you
create that core stability within you, like you can't be shaken regardless of what people
say, what people do because you have such strong faith within yourself.
And that's what human design has done for me.
Like as a small example, I still work a corporate job and I used to get so triggered by emails
from coworkers if they were accusing me of like being lazy or not getting something done
in time and it used to like make my chest tight and I would get hot and I'd be like
writing this passive aggressive email back.
And since doing this work, like their emails literally have no physical response anymore.
Like I'm just, I always respond in love.
I don't even let it get to me.
And like that's just one small change that embodying my human design has given me is
so much more peace and happiness.
Even in situations that other people are triggered, I can still show up in that peace and that
happiness and that calm.
And it's so nice no longer feeling out of control with my body and my nervous system.
Oh my gosh.
Beautiful growth.
This is sounds like such an essential piece to a spiritual journey.
So tell our listeners how they can connect with you, what your handle is and yeah, just
what you offer.
Yeah.
So my handle, I hang out mostly on Instagram and Tik Tok.
So my handle on Instagram is your human design coach.
And then my handle on Tik Tok is MT Smith with three H's.
So you can find me on either of those places and there's plenty of information there.
And yeah, I would love to connect.
Send me your charts and me your, your design and I would love to help you understand it
and how you can begin to put it into practice.
Oh my gosh.
We so appreciate your information.
I learned so much just from this conversation.
And yes, I appreciate you.
I appreciate your knowledge, giving you those projector compliments.
I love it.
I'm digging it all in.
Thank you so much, Michelle.
We will talk soon.
Thank you.
