I’ve always felt different from others but wasn’t sure why. Often, I felt misunderstood, like I was the only one seeing things a certain way. I have this knack for understanding people I don’t know and feeling deep compassion for unrelated situations. Plus, I have a strong desire to guide and support others.
Thinking about socializing often, engaging with many people, and working long hours just drains me. When I recently discovered my Human Design is a Projector, everything clicked. These feelings and perspectives now make perfect sense based on my Human Design.
Gaining a deeper understanding of my Human Design gave me amazing insight. It also helped me approach life effectively to experience flow and positive impact.
What is Human Design?
Human Design is considered ‘the new astrology.’ It combines astrology, I Ching, Kabbalah, and the Chakras. Human Design uses your birth date, time, and location to create a bodygraph. This bodygraph is a blueprint of who you are.
With Human Design, you discover what makes you unique. It offers profound insights into your psychology and provides strategies for making better decisions. This leads to a life of greater ease and fulfillment. Human Design also gives insights into body intelligence and supportive dietary regimens to help you attune to your best self.
Types of Human Design
I’m literally just starting to learn about human design and am beyond fascinated by it.
There are 4 types of Human Design Types:
- Manifestors
- Generators
- Projectors
- Reflectors
With the designs there are sub-designs, if you will, that get even more specific.
What I Learned About My Design:
There are endless insights and takeaways I’m learning about how living in line with my human design will help me live in the highest and best version of me! Here are a few.
Understanding Projectors
Projectors in general are the smallest percentage of the population, which is 22%. Understanding this was eye opening as it helped me gain insight into the fact that it’s not that “it feels like I see the world differently than others”, I DO see the world differently than others. It’s a FACT! Now I can be more compassionate to myself and others and also use that to my advantage when needed for fresh and new view points.
The Unique Ability to Guide
Projectors have an inherent ability to understand others. They are the masters of reading and managing energy efficiently and this gives them the unique ability to most effectively guide others. Learning that I have this unique wisdom and by design was created to help guide others, helped me have more confidence in the fact that I am both doing a great service to others, and also choosing a path in life that is of the most efficient use of my energy, gift and talents. What a great feeling to know you’re on the right path and doing what you were put on this earth to do, right?
Energy Absorption and Reflection
Projectors absorb other people’s energy, then amplify it and reflect it back. For example, if I’m zen and you come into my space with a hyped up and angry energy, I will absorb it, feel it at a heightened level and then feel I need to reflect it back out. So, when projectors are with large groups of people, we’re constantly taking in all this energy and managing it, so we can get extremely exhausted and burnt out easily. This explains why I get overwhelmed by the idea of coaching large groups of people – this will drain me completely. The idea of it drains me!
Managing Exhaustion
And because of this, we experience exhaustion at a level others don’t. We are not able to work at the same pace as the other design types and require lots of rest to recharge, or else we will experience a health breakdown. Already been there! Projectors need to take lots of breaks, pace themselves, go to bed earlier so as to decompress from other’s energy auras and ensure they give their body’s time to unwind, disconnect and relax, so they can maintain a healthy and balanced momentum in life.
