When, if not now, should we start finding reliance within ourselves?
What we need most right now is a place within to rely on in order to make correct decisions even in the most turbulent times. The Human Design experiment is a journey of rediscovering ourselves. I’ve been experimenting with Human Design since 2009, what has it given to me?
First and foremost, it has given me relief, much less tension from no longer being in a race for the result imposed by someone else.
Furthermore, the key factor in achieving relief and reducing resistance is increased self-awareness and self-reliance.
When you make decisions based on your genetically embedded Strategy and Inner Authority, you are moving out of yourself. With each step on this path, you can sense this contact with yourself more and more.
I am often asked what Human Design gives or what Human Design has given me in my life. And here we need to distinguish two things: Human Design as information that we receive from this knowledge system, and Human Design experiment, i.e. applying this information in everyday life.
It’s important to distinguish that because if we take it only as information, it remains just a collection of words, a set of concepts, a prism through which we can view the world, but it does not change the quality of our lives, nor does it transform our state.
However, if this knowledge system is taken as a foundation for your own experiment, through practical tools that it offers, then there is indeed a chance for anyone who experiments to go on their own journey of uniqueness. And no one can predict or know how your experiment will unfold or where it will lead you.
Here I can talk about myself – what Human Design has given me over the years. First of all, it has given me much less stress, relief from the fact that I no longer need to compete, or fixate on results like I used to.
This relief has brought a lot of ease into my life, and removed much of the resistance I experienced. I attribute this relief and reduced resistance to a deeper connection with myself through regaining my inborn decision-making tools.
With each step on this path, you can sense this deeper contact with yourself. It gives a sense of rootedness, a sense of empowerment, a sense of support that exists within you. And a sense of presence in every “here and now,” in every moment.
Of course, when you are self-connected (relying on your Strategy and Inner Authority), self-fulfillment happens effortlessly, in a natural flow. This self-connection brings more satisfaction without requiring any additional effort. Now, it doesn’t come with a struggle like it used to be in my life before.
Yes, we all live in the world of people, and of course, we all interact. The experiment with Strategy and Authority changes the environment, the context in which we find ourselves. I can say that this experiment has transformed my relationships with others — the foundation of these relationships, the purpose behind them, what they are built upon. In general, I can say that there are fewer contacts in my life now, but they have become more fulfilling, nourishing, and profound for me. They contribute to the development of what I feel and who I am, as well as the other person involved.
The betterment of relationships stems from embracing oneself and others on a deeper level. However, this doesn’t necessarily entail better relationships with everyone. It simply means that at each stage of life, I find allies or I align myself with people who are correct for me at that moment and for whom I am correct.
Ultimately, it enables me to experience the feeling that we are all truly connected, that we are all bonded, and we exchange our gifts and what we came here to live. Thus, we are all teachers to each other, helpers on this infinite path of growth and Love.
This is what Human Design can offer through its tools. This is the knowledge that when applied in real life, can relax our mind and shift it to another level — from distracting us from ourselves to assisting in self-awareness, observing the ocean of consciousness, the universe that resides within us.
So, if you resonate with this tool, all you need to do is simply give it a try, experiment with it, and see how it specifically changes your life, your day-to-day experience.
