Your energy type tells you how you're built to operate, and it's arguably the most critical aspect of your design.

You might have seen on Instagram that people are categorising themselves into things like “Generator” or “Projector”. These are the names of the 4/5 types of humans in Human Design (HD).

When you find your Type, you can scroll down and find what it means.

Make a note of the one you are from your design. When you read your Type, allow it to sink in. You’ll find it will resonate with you on a deep level.

If you are a Generator or a Manifesting Generator, ask yourself, "what lights me up"? Take inventory of each part of your life, e.g. Career, relationships, home life, hobbies, spending time in certain places. Get to know your response to each of them.

Learning this was a HUGE insight for me when I found this out. I started to tune into how I felt when I spent time with people. I had to gently move away from spending time with people who made me shut down and feel small. It takes practice, but you can feel either excitement or resentment after a while when they contact you. That's a signal to change things.

Multi-passionate, and you can move fast on new things.

You can bend time when you want to move fast to create things. You can hugely benefit from managing others to help you with creating. BUT can't keep up with you, so be careful about burning other people out with how fast you can pivot.

Manifesting Generators also have the superpower to master things with ease because you have staying power. You can reach plateaus that can feel like dead ends, but you have the energy to push through to the next level.

Natural entrepreneurs, innovators and leaders.

You can do a LOT in a short space of time which can almost look like magic. After which, you get to rest. In your times of rest, real deep rest, you begin connecting the dots and innovating.

You are incredibly powerful, and frequently you feel like you intimidate people with your energy and boldness. Your confidence must be cultivated to "go first". You are a natural-born leader and can change the world.

Having a Manifestor in your life means giving them space to roam and inform you of what's next. They love freedom and control, so be prepared for that; however, they get to inform you when they master their Manifestor energy.

It's how you use your energy. It comes and goes. Don't hang onto the idea that you're meant to be ON all the time. Projectors find it the hardest to live in the modern world because naps are frowned upon, and filling your day up with lots of activities and work is super tempting. Working when you are energised and surrendering to your downtime is what gets you ahead. Pushing through is not your style. Build the time and space into your day just to "be". Lay down, go for a walk.

You're best placed to be a guide, teacher, leader, advisor, coach etc. You're excellent at knowing how to ask the big questions in life and understanding people. You're great at one to one situations because you are comfortable being intimate with people. Your insight is your gift.

Projectors can feel unvalued. If you have a projector in your life, ensure that you take time to recognise their gifts. Words of affirmation can be helpful. Eg. "I love the way you see things". "I love your insight". "Come and tell me more".

Projectors in business are great at one to one interactions. Plus, as a Projector, you can succeed in business if you build systems to do the heavy lifting for you. Building assets like courses or employing others to do the work is super-valuable for Projectors, it ensures you continue to get paid while you take time for rest.

Super rare, sensitive, gifted at taking in other people's energy and energy from their environment. Therefore, Reflectors have to be very selective about who you spend your time around and where.

You are the mirror for who you are around, and you are incredibly talented at moving through the other energy types. So some days, you can feel like you're a Generator, and other days, you could be a Projector.

Taking time out is essential so you can reset and recalibrate. Taking too much energy on from others and from your environment will wear you out.

In business, you are like a consultant. You can absorb the feeling of the room, the people, the company and then amplify it. For example, you can read the room and the subtle energies, which give you insight into what needs to be fixed for a team.

If you have a Reflector in your life, then taking care of your energy is vital as they will pick up your energy when they are around you. Allow them lots of time and space to recalibrate.
