Lesson 2: Human Design Strategy for Self-Love and Empowerment

Let’s learn more about each Energy type’s Strategy!

Manifestor Strategy: To Inform

Manifestors possess the rare ability to set things in motion on their own. Unlike other types, they don't have to wait but can follow their inner drive and act. They need to recognize and trust this inner guidance and inform those around them of their plans.

Self-love and Empowerment Boost: To avoid anger and misunderstandings, Manifestors need to inform those around them of what they plan to do rather than rushing off and doing things, leaving others behind wondering what the heck just happened or where they just went. It’s all about cooperation. The more they let people know, the more understanding they get from others, and the more understanding they conjure up, the more freedom they receive. While Manifestors may not give a sh*t about being understood but simply want to get things done, keeping others in the loop makes life easier for everyone involved.

Generator & Manifesting Generator Strategy: To Respond

Generators and Manifesting Generators need to listen to their gut feeling. Their life energy pulsates and wants to be used meaningfully. Instead of acting hastily, they MUST wait for the right opportunities to present themselves and then react from within. When they follow this inner resonance, they will find an activity that fulfills them, allows them to use their energy optimally, and makes them feel empowered. It's about being in harmony with their true nature and engaging in activities out of a sense of joy.

Self-love and Empowerment Boost: As a Generator or Manifesting Generator, you may find it helpful to be given 'this or that' or 'yes or no' questions. This allows your gut to respond. Open-ended questions like "What do you want for dinner?" give you nothing to respond to. Ask those around you to try asking 'this or that' or 'yes or no' questions and see what happens.

P.S. You're ALWAYS responding to things. Walking past a bakery, it smells good, so you decide to go in = responding. Start dancing in your car to a new song you like = responding. On your first day at a new job, you feel a pull towards a specific co-worker = responding. See a cute dog and smile = responding.

Projector Strategy: To Wait for the Invitation

Projectors need to wait for the right invitation. Their energy functions optimally when it is recognized and valued. Instead of overexerting themselves or becoming impatient, they MUST trust that the right opportunities and people will come to them when the time is right. By waiting for this special recognition and invitation, they enable themselves to act and interact in a fulfilling and effective way. It's about recognizing their true worth and giving others the chance to do the same.

Self-love and Empowerment Boost: If you’re a Projector, for others to recognize your gifts, you must first recognize yourself and your gifts. It's not about doing or pushing. It's about being and seeing. Stand confident in who you are and what you see. You are here to guide and lead. Own it.

Reflector Strategy: To Wait a Lunar Cycle

The Reflector Strategy is to wait a lunar cycle to reflect on their true feelings and thoughts about a particular situation or opportunity. This period allows them to observe and understand the full range of their sensations and the influences of their environment. They should also be aware that the energy of others can easily influence their openness. Therefore, it's essential for them to regularly take time for themselves and distance themselves from overwhelming or negative influences.

Self-love and Empowerment Boost: You’re not meant to be rushed if you're a Reflector. Your decisions take time, and you need space to tune in to your feelings. Accept and honor this about yourself, and educate the people in your life about your unique process.
