What is Human Design
Human Design is a holistic system that integrates elements of astrology, the I Ching - a 5000-year-old Chinese system -, the Jewish Kabbalah, the Hindu chakra system, and modern science, such as genetics or quantum physics.
It is a logical system. It provides understanding about the human nature and serves as a method for observation and self-awareness . With the tools we can create a unique energetic map of your life in the form of a body graph with 9 energy centers. They are sometimes referred to as "Chakras" following the ancient Indian teaching of the 7 chakras.
This matrix allows insights into your personality, strengths, weaknesses, life role, and life purpose. Using special software, we can generate this graph based on your birth data and a time 90 days before birth. These two points in time reveal the conscious and unconscious aspects of your "blueprint." The colored areas in the matrix show you who you are and who you are not and can be conditioned by others..
Originally, the founder of the Human Design System, Ra Uru Hu, created such body graphs by hand, as you can see in the illustration below.
In the black and white photo from the 1980s, Ra is seen on the far left, just before he had his pivotal experience: an 8-day intense "download of cosmic knowledge". At that time, he was still living under his former name, Alan Robert Krakower, inmidst nature on the Mediterrenean island of Ibiza. He had previously left behind his safe but conformist life in Canada.
A Human Design Reading offers you the opportunity to discover your individual alignment and reduce resistance in life. This can lead to experiencing more harmony, authenticity, abundance, and ease. You can more fearlessly be truly you.
It also shows you how to make decisions more easily and cope better with challenges, as well as where your inner authority/inner voice is. This enables you to navigate consciously and rely on your inner wisdom to master important steps in life without being distracted by the doubting mind, fears, and doubts.
Human Design is completely objective and free from judgments. It supports us in recognizing how unique we are as individuals. Experimentation forms the cornerstone of Human Design. Every element of our chart serves as a suggested trial, and similar to various life scenarios, we shouldn't regard anything as absolute truth until we've personally tested its efficacy in our own experiences.
"We are here to learn and experience the self-realization of consciousness - while living in a body. Not after our death, but through this vehicle."
Leela Swann-Herbert, one of Ra Uru Hu's students of the first wave

Chakren
Traditional 7-Chakra System - currently 9 centers since 1781
-
Many Yoga practices still use the ancient wisdom of 7 Chakras (cakra in Sanskrit) meaning “wheels” , referring to certain energy points in the body.
-
Human Design is a 9-centered system
-
Centers correlate with specific organs and glands
-
New synthesis of old and modern knowledge creating a new paradigm
-
There are 64 gates protruding from the centers like antennas, forming energy channels when activated by planets during pregnancy until moment of birth
-
The 64 gates correspond to the 64 hexagrams/archetypes of the I Ching
-
36 channels connect the 9 centers, of which only those get avtivated in which 2 opposite gates connect
-
There are red (unconscious) and black (conscious) gates, our genetically inherent characteristics
-
There are six profile lines, depending on the degree of sun-activated gates on the Zodiac, forming a total of twelve profiles. Our profile is the role assigned to us in this life
According to the revelation through "the Voice", humanity developed a new energetic anatomy when astronomer Herschel discovered the planet Uranus in 1781. This marked a significant milestone in our evolutionary process, shaping our seven energy centers into nine.
This evolutionary process was also marked by an increased core body temperature and a gradual warming of the planet in general.
Self Love
When‘s the last time you ever trusted anything?
To trust in yourself, to trust that you can navigate this plane without your mind?
That‘s quite a stamp. It's the first step in beginning to discover that you can love yourself. It might have to start off with sort of, kind of, liking yourself. But it's on the way. You have to meet that being in order to love them. You have to see the perfection of what it is to be you.
You have to see what uniqueness really means. Not as a concept, but what it means as your life.
What I've noticed over many, many years now is that those who approach this the most radically are the ones who really get to see it.
You really have to take a hold of this. This is all you get. You think there's going to be another chance? No. This is it. Anyone who cares to discover can look deeply into this in relationship to themselves, to others, to whatever. You can plow your way through this trying to find some loophole but there is none.
There is only one thing to do and it‘s to radically surrender to an experiment. It‘s what it is. You‘re not sheep. I'm not here to be followed. You‘re here to have your own trip, your own movie, your own wonder, but you can only get that through the experiment of being you.
