Hi, loves, welcome to the Journey to the Soul podcast. I am your host, jacinda Villa, a spiritual life coach and holistic health coach. Every week, we will be diving deep into all things purpose, wellness, spirituality and creating the life that you dream of. This space is meant to be safe and transformative for you to dive into the deepest parts of yourself. I will share what I have learned from my journey along this path years of research and mentors along the way. Having spent many years living life out of alignment and afraid to go after my dreams, I know firsthand what it means to take the first step down, living a life authentic to you. We are on this road of self-discovery together. It is time for you to live the life you imagined. Hello, everyone, welcome to this week's episode.
Speaker 1:
Today, I wanted to introduce to you a system that I absolutely love, that I have mentioned in a couple of other podcast episodes, and that is human design. This has been an obsession of mine for the last two or three years almost, and I have completely fallen in love with this system, and it came to my life at such a perfect time. It really helped me accept who I really came here to be, who I truly am. So I am so excited to be introducing it to you today, to actually share more about what human design is, how it was brought into this world and how it can help us on this journey of life. So we will be diving into just an introduction of what the system is. That way, if you have never heard about it before, you have a little bit of a backstory of how it came to be, but also just some very practical things that you can take away from this podcast episode. As a 1-3, which is my profile in human design, I have really been on a road of diving deeper and deeper into this system, and so much of what I have learned has been through self-study, and I have been just following that light of wanting to learn more and more about it and being in my process as a manifesting generator as well, which we're going to dive deeper into. It has allowed me to just gain such a deeper understanding of myself, and the fact that it can do something like this makes it something that I feel like more and more of us can really use and appreciate in our life.
Speaker 1:
So let's talk about human design and how it came to be into the world. It has gained a lot of popularity over the last couple of years in particular, but even then, it's still not as popular as other systems that we know, like astrology. But it has gained popularity in the last couple of years and I feel like so much of that has to do with it just being what the world needs more and more at this moment in time. But it was actually channeled in the 1980s by Rao Ruhu and, in the simplest terms, human design is really a system that determines your energy type and it teaches you really how to live in alignment with that so you can live a life with more flow and ease, and it's based off of principles from the systems of astrology of the Chinese I Ching, kabbalah and the chakra system, and it really is a science. For people who are tuning into this, who are familiar with human design, may already know that, but there is so much depth to this system, just like there is in astrology as well, but it is truly a science. So what we will be covering is really just the tip of the iceberg of what this system has to offer, but it's a tool that is meant to help us be more in harmony with every aspect of our life.
Speaker 1:
One of the fundamental principles of human design is the concept of differentiation, and what this means is essentially us detaching from what we were brought up to believe and think and coming back to ourselves, so honoring our individuality. So individuality is something that human design very much highlights and it can be seen in our chart when we do pull up a human design chart. And how? No, any one chart is the same kind of like astrology, but the teachings of human design are really here for us to be our individual selves. It honors that about each and every one of us, which I think is incredible, because we all know how different we are from one another. And this concept of differentiation, I feel, is the biggest thing, the biggest gift that human design offers so many people. It's that we are all different and function differently. We are all not built the same to do things in the same exact way, to eat in the same way, to process information in the same way, to manifest the life that we want in the same way. We know this, we recognize this. Even though some of us may try to do things the way another person may do, a lot of us may fail when we try to do that and this is really what the system can highlight for us is how we are meant to do these things in a way that is truly aligned for us and right for us and our energy.
Speaker 1:
Human design is something that is completely specific to you. When you do pull up your chart, you will see how intricate it is. It's absolutely amazing, and there are so many nuances. It's a map to your energy and how you came to be here in the world. This is something that you can study for so many years. It can take years of knowing and experimenting to really be able to tune into all of these parts of yourself and, like I mentioned today, we will really just be doing an introduction of the energy types, which I feel is a great place to begin. When you have never heard about human design before, it is such a great starting point because this is one of the biggest key pieces in your chart is what your energy type is. Before we go any further into this episode and I do dive into the energy types I really would love if you would pull up your chart. That way, if you have never pulled up your human design chart, you can do so now and be able to follow along with the rest of the podcast episode as I introduce the energy types.
Speaker 1:
The energy types the three things that you will need to pull up your chart are going to be your place of birth, your birthday and your time of birth. These do need to be specific and you do need to know your particular birth time because your chart can change every couple of minutes depending on the time you know. Every hour, every two hours, every 15 minutes. It depends for everyone. So the birth time is something that is important. However, if you don't know your exact birth time, something that you can do is starting at like 1 am on that morning of your birthday. You can mess around with the time a little bit and move it every two-hour increments and you can see what changes every two hours, because sometimes a few things will change, sometimes nothing will change. Sometimes your energy type will change, sometimes small nuances will change, like maybe the arrows by your head or something else. So it does change depending on the time that you were born. But mess around with the time. If you don't know the exact time that you were born, that is okay. You could probably do a good job of figuring it out once I go through this episode and we talk about the energy types, you might feel which one feels like it's you. So if the energy type changes from a generator at 10 am to a manifestor at2 pm in the afternoon and you feel like, based off of this episode, the manifestor energy resonates with you more, then that's probably what it is. So just play with that and see what feels good and right to you.
Speaker 1:
When you do have that information, you can go ahead and pull up your human design chart, and I will link in the description box where you can go do that. The site that I'm going to suggest is Jenna Zoe's website, which is myhumandesigncom, and you can get your chart on there and it'll tell you your energy type and other nuances as well. And Jenna Zoe is actually a human design expert as well. She has a wonderful app, a book and a podcast if you decide you want to listen to more things regarding human design, if this resonates with you. So we will be diving into the types today, and your type in human design is determined by which energy centers, which are the shapes you see in your chart. So if you have your chart pulled up now, you will see some squares, some colored in some not. Some triangles, some colored in, some not. So these are all called energy centers. So the way that these shapes are either colored in or not, and also how they are connected to one another, how they communicate with one another, determines your energy type in human design. And, like I mentioned, your energy type in human design is truly how your energy functions, and there are five energy types in human design. There are projectors, reflectors, generators, manifestors and manifesting generators. We will be starting off with projectors today. So if you are a projector, this is some of the key things regarding your energy type.
Speaker 1:
Projectors make up about 20% of the population and their major role is to see what other people don't see, so they're meant to be here to manage, guide and direct others. Projectors have this incredible bird's eye perspective and can see things that other people just can't. That is their gift to this world, and they're really here to be an expert on something that they like and really dive into it, gaining as much knowledge and wisdom as they can, and then be recognized by other people and invited to share their knowledge, and it's really important for projectors to be able to find that one thing to fully focus on and become an expert in. Projectors aren't really here to work eight hours a day as well. Their energy is very unique and for them it's really about working wisely with their time. They are one of the non-energy types in human design. Reflectors are the other non-energy types, so their energy can be quite inconsistent. Some famous projectors are Barack Obama, princess Diana, abraham Lincoln and Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 1:
Reflectors are the next energy type that we will be diving into, and reflectors are super, super rare. They make up about 1% of our population and they have a totally open type open type, so none of their centers are colored in. They're completely open. Reflectors are everything and nothing all at the same time, and they are really here to reflect the well-being of our community and family workplace and be an early warning signal for any problems. So they are mirrors for other people to help them find their truth. That can only happen when they take care of themselves. So reflectors are here to reflect back to us ourselves, back to ourselves, and because of that they're really here to be wise and to know so much about human potential and what it is to be in this human experience, they really need time to be creative and be alone. That way they can empty out energy that perhaps they've carried from other people and the people that they surround themselves with is so important as well, because their energy is so sensitive. Well, because their energy is so sensitive and they really just need time. If you are a reflector and you are listening to this, one of the biggest things that you can learn to give yourself is time is to allow yourself to be fluid and to not move in a specific way or a specific pace, because you are supposed to change constantly and that is okay. That is part of your nature. And one of the biggest things to honor about yourself as well is how unpredictable and inconsistent your energy is. And again, this is one of the biggest things that you could learn how to love about yourself, because it teaches you so much. So, just honoring that part of yourself and knowing that this is how you were meant to be, and not expecting yourself to be any other way.
Speaker 1:
Next up, we have generators. Generators make up about 35% of the population and they are really the life force of our planet, so they are here to build, to create and sustain humanity. Generators have a defined sacral center. This also goes for manifesting generators as well, which gives you an internal guidance on decisions and actions that are right for you. So it's whatever you feel like doing, essentially, and you are really here as a generator to respond to life and do what lights you up. Is this something that I like? Am I drawn to that? And your energy, your aura, fuels people around you. You energize people when you are really doing things that you love. You are really here to be the spreader of good vibes, and it's so, so important for generators.
Speaker 1:
If you are a generator and you are listening to this, one of the biggest things is to allow yourself to use your energy on what lights you up. Only do what you love, boldly, allow yourself to follow your passions. If you are doing something that you don't enjoy, your energy will become completely drained. If you are working a job you don't like, if you are forcing yourself to do exercises you don't like, it's super important, as a generator, to use your energy on what you truly enjoy, because using it on things that you don't enjoy will deplete your energy. On what you truly enjoy, because using it on things that you don't enjoy will deplete your energy, and it's really quite simple. It's really just supposed to be yes, I want to do this or no, I don't want to do this. If it excites you, there's a reason for that, and I just realized I forgot to give you some famous generators Oprah is a generator Albert Einstein, the Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra and I also forgot to give you some reflectors. So some reflectors are Teal Swan, sandra Bullock, hg Wells and Fyodor Dovetsky.
Speaker 1:
Next up, we have manifestors, and they make up about 10% of the population, and manifestors are so powerful they are really here to make things happen and they are really the only type in human design that is here to initiate action directly from ideas. So the moment that they think about something and want to bring it to life, they have the energy and the power to do that is, to bring it into this three-dimensional earth right away. Essentially, and they're really not designed to live by anyone else's rules. They're here to live their own unique path and, essentially, create their own way. They're the trailblazers, truly, and they have very powerful energy that is just here to initiate and they really don't want to be controlled. They want to have full capacity to move in whatever direction they want, whenever they want, with nothing holding them back. Essentially, and it's important for manifestors to know how their energy and their choices and what they choose to do in this world really affects the people around them. Their energy is truly so powerful and it's crucial that, if you are a manifester, that you stand tall in your powerful expression, that you came here to be in this world and that you trust the path you are meant to pave, even if no one else has done it before. And some famous manifestors are Johnny Depp, maya Angelou, frida Kahlo and Jennifer Aniston.
Speaker 1:
The last energy type that we have is manifesting generators, and they make up about the other 35% of the generator group, but they are their own energy type, the generator group, but they are their own energy type, and they are really life force energy on this earth. They are here to build and create and sustain humanity. Manifesting generators are one of the fastest energy types in human design. Generators are one of the fastest energy types in human design, so they are a hybrid between generators and manifestors. They have a connection to their throat center, so they have the power to initiate like manifestors, like manifestors, and they really have the life force to get so much done when it comes to work, to family, to hobbies, to just about anything that they want to do.
Speaker 1:
And if you are a manifesting generator listening to this, know that you are not designed to live life in a linear form. This is one of the biggest things to let go of immediately when you find out that you are a manifesting generator is that you are also here to trailblaze and to be multifaceted, to change, to play, to allow yourself, to be free and to also have a career that lights you up. Out of all the energy types, this is going to be the busiest types because they are so multifaceted. They also may skip steps because they are in a hurry and they have the capacity to do things quicker than other energy types, but sometimes, because they move so quickly, they might have to come back a couple of steps. Manifesting generators are really going to be the type that are the busy bees and always up to new projects. You are really here to be a way shower and to push boundaries and, just like the generator, it is so important for you to be lit up by everything that you are doing. It is crucial because, like the generator, if you don't use your energy on things that you truly enjoy, it will deplete your energy, your incredible life force energy and some famous manifesting generators for you are Tony Robbins, beyonce, angelina Jolie and Martin Luther King Jr.
Speaker 1:
This is just a small drop in the ocean of what human design truly has to offer, but I wanted to give you all a small introduction to the energy types and in other podcast episodes to come I plan on introducing some of the other things in your human design chart, like your strategy, which is how you are here to make decisions as well in human design, and even your profile as well. I think these are great things to kind of have and consider when you are exploring your human design. But this is something where you can really learn so much about yourself and how you were really meant to move through the world. Human design really highlights where you can hold on to conditioning about many different things. So much of who we are sometimes is simply because of who we felt we needed to be, whether it was environmentally as we were growing up, people in our lives, teachers, family.
Speaker 1:
A lot of the times we take on conditioning perceptions from such a young age, from the world around us, and the deeper you dive into this, you will really see that not everyone is meant to be a morning person and wake up at 5 am. For some people, that may be depleting and not nurturing to them and their energy. Or be super specific when writing out goals. Some people may do better with just having a general idea of certain things that they want in life, but not every single part of their life actually planned out. Some people's minds are more methodical and can see more micro nuances, versus other people are meant to see the bigger picture and more macro things.
Speaker 1:
Everyone processes information differently. Everyone thrives differently, and this is what this system is really here to teach us. It really can teach you so much about yourself and how you were meant to be in this world, in every aspect of your life. Truly, we really are not all meant to be robots and do the same things in the same way at the same time. That is just not how we were meant to be in this world. We are all human and we are so unique and our needs and our gifts, what our paths are in this life, and it's really important now more than ever on this earth that we really honor that, because it is not by accident that we were born into a certain family or came into the world now, at this moment in time, with the gifts that we have and with the desires that we have, and with us wanting to bring light to this world in our own unique way, our own way of doing this is what is true and right for us, and this is the biggest gift that this offers.
Speaker 1:
And when many people come across their human design for the first time, it can really feel like an aha moment for them, or like they are finally being seen and understood, or now they understand Like, wow, I get it now. It doesn't happen with everyone, but with most people it does, and I know that when I came across the system, it really was that for me, especially when it came into my life. I was going through a big transition in my life of wanting to walk my path as authentically as possible and as true to me as possible, as possible and as true to me as possible, and I was rediscovering who I was again for the first time, and this really opened the door for me to explore that even deeper. I hope you guys enjoyed this introduction to human design, this wonderful system that is here for us to dive deeper into if we ever want to have a greater understanding of ourselves. I would love if you share with me what your energy type is and how that resonated with you, or perhaps not, and that's completely okay.
Speaker 1:
Some people that listen to this may read their energy type and not fully resonate with it, and that's completely okay too. With so many of the things that I talk about on this podcast, it's really just having an open mind about it, and if it resonates with you, wonderful, and if it doesn't, that's completely okay too. I do believe that maybe there was something else that you took away from this episode today, but if you did resonate with it, please share with me what you resonated most with and what your type is. I always love to know.
Speaker 1:
It's one of my favorite things to kind of find out about people. I do this with all my family, all my friends, everyone that I talk to. It's just such a fun way to know people at a deeper level.
