What is it? An Introduction to Human Design.
Human Design is a relatively new system of self-knowledge that is becoming more and more popular for a reason.
It offers a concrete map of your nature (how you are wired, coded, your strengths and weaknesses) and provides practical tools to make decisions that feel correct for you. Once you start making decisions that are aligned from an energetic point of view, you will feel more and more like yourself. Like who you came here to be. This is how you will progressively eliminate (or reduce) resistance in life.
It is a system that helps you make decisions that are correct for you instead of decisions that you should make, ought to make, would be right to make. Does it rings any bells?

Where does it come from?
Since it is an introduction to Human Design, this is the best place to give some context.
Human Design is not built on belief or faith but, as written before, it is a logical and practical system. It is, in fact, empirical – which makes sense, considering it is a way for human beings to make better decisions.
It uses your exact time, date and place of birth to calculate a design chart, or Bodygraph, and determine your Energy Type, Strategy, and Authority. They are some of the key components to experiment with, in order to live and discover your unique nature. No wonder Human Design is also called The Science of Differentiation!
Who created it?
It was created and developed by Alan Robert Krakower, who later adopted the pseudonym Ra Uru Hu.
He claimed to have received the transmissions with all this information by a voice, back in 1987 in Ibiza. The mystical experience lasted eight days and nights.
The transmissions formed the foundation of what is now known as the Human Design System, which he perfected over the course of the following 20 years or so.
An overview and introduction to Human Design ‘s influences.
Human Design is a transformative system that integrates:
-ancient wisdom traditions such as the I’Ching, Hindu Chakra system, Tree of Life (Kabbalah),
and
-Eastern/Western Astrology
with
–cutting-edge scientific disciplines like Neutrinos, Genetics, and Physics.
By blending these diverse sources of knowledge, Human Design creates a comprehensive genetic blueprint that illuminates the essence of an individual’s being. Your unique nature and energetic composition.
Such a holistic approach provides profound insights into:
-your gifts,
-decision-making processes,
-energy dynamics,
-overall well-being.
By embracing the wisdom of Human Design, you can embark on a journey of self-discovery to reconnect with who you came here to be at birth. It truly makes for a powerful tool to unlock your full potential.
From the moment you were born, you’ve been inundated with “shoulds” – how you “should” think and feel, what you “should” believe, how you “should” act, what you “should” wear, eat, do for a living – the list goes on.
WTF Is Human Design?: An Introduction to Human Design and Deconditioning by Elli Richter and Helen Hall.
Introduction to Human Design’s main components: Energy Type, Strategy, Authority.
An introduction to Human Design would not be complete without more information about its key components.
As said above, it uses your birth data (place, exact date and time of birth) to calculate a design chart (Bodygraph) and determine your Energy Type, Strategy, and Authority. These are the basics to experiment with, in order to discover and live your unique nature. We can explore your chart together with a foundational analysis here at Quietly Mary.

Energy Types.
If this is your very first introduction to Human Design, you might be surprised to learn that there are five distinct energy Types that determine the way you operate in the world.
-Manifestor
-Generator
-Manifesting Generator
-Projector
-Reflector
Each has a unique way of interacting with the world and making decisions.
Your Type is determined by your body, genetics, and aura, and it’s the key to understanding how you can harmonize with the world around you and align with your true nature.
The Human Design system offers a mechanical understanding of your infinitely perfect nature, providing a map of the codes and archetypes that make up the blueprint of the contract you made with divinity before your incarnation on earth.
By understanding your Type and its specific Strategy, you can recognize the inherent perfection in your expression and the gifts you bring, allowing you to be more deeply yourself and serve the whole in a way that only you can.
Strategy.
Before the end of our introduction to the system of Human Design, we must talk about Strategy and Authority, two key concepts that help you understand how to make decisions and take action in the world.
Your Strategy is the specific approach that your energy Type is designed to use in order to interact with the world and make decisions that are in alignment with your true nature. By following your Strategy, you can tap into your inner guidance and make decisions that are in alignment with your purpose and path in life.
Authority.
Your Authority, on the other hand, is the inner guidance system that helps you make decisions that are right for you. It’s the voice of your inner wisdom and intuition, and it’s the key to making decisions that are in alignment with your true nature and purpose. By learning to recognize and trust your Authority, you can make decisions that are in alignment with your highest good and the greater good of the world around you.
Together, Strategy and Authority are powerful tools for understanding your unique way of operating in the world and for making decisions that are in alignment with who you came here to be.
Final Considerations
I hope you have found this introduction to Human Design useful to get familiar with a system that is becoming more and more popular each day — clearly for a good reason!
Like any system of self-knowledge, please take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.
However, remember that it is a practical and empirical system: the more you experiment with it and live it out, the more wonder it will bring into your life!
