Practical Mysticism
The framework of Human Design is a sum of the core things I believe in and live by. The foundations of this system are rooted in mind body spirit integration, lifestyle optimization, differentiation within the individual human experience, having faith in the wisdom of the soul, trusting the intelligence of the universe, and living out our energetic blueprint to bring the most positive impact to the world and our collective evolution. The scope of this integrative practice is massive, and the reverberating effect of stepping into the truth of our essence is profound.
I keep thinking to myself over and over again that Human Design is at its core, practical mysticism. Somehow, this deeply esoteric framework rooted in astrology, Kabbalah, the I Ching, Vedic philosophy, and quantum mechanics is super logical and practical when you understand the dynamics of your chart.
These mystical spiritual frameworks downloaded and evolved over time by ancient mystics come together to form this system of self understanding that reveals to us not only the truth of who we are and who we came here to be, but also the exact way in which we are meant to apply ourselves. Human Design details individualized and highly specific ways for us to move forward and take action in daily life to obtain our spiritual and material goals. It’s seriously profound. This is all written in the DNA of our aura and depicted in the depth of our charts. The more I learn, the more humbled and amazed I am by the nuance and intelligence of the universe.
I am a firm believer that everything is energy. Only 5% of the universe is physical matter, so what’s all the rest made of and what’s it for?I firmly believe and sense that everything and everyone carries a specific frequency that oscillates in its own way, leaving an impact on everything it comes in contact with. This is the aura, a shapeshifting yet consistent field of potential that carries the blueprint of our energy and soul essence. This energetic blueprint defines the purpose of our lives and the karmic experiences we will go through to learn our life lessons and evolve. Our blueprint can be integrated deeper into our physical existence with intention, awareness, and understanding as we commit to living life to our highest potential.
The aura is the energetic body, the field of consciousness that we inhabit. The aura is informed by our soul journey, lived experience, astral body, physical body, emotional body, karma, past lives, our thoughts, and the mental programs we carry. It spans out at least two meters from the body and is perceived by all living things, informing our path and lived experience on a personal and transpersonal level.
The aura contains our energetic blueprint, the map of who we came here to be and the story we were born to live. When we honor and live out our natural blueprint, we are aligned with our aura. The aura informs how we relate to life, communicate with the universe, and how we can best actualize our innermost dreams and desires.
Our aura is our greatest asset, and will attract the right people and things to us. This is the energy others will pick up on and integrate into their perception, which will in turn define our relationship to others and our part in society. We attract what we are, so it is vital to choose wisely what we want to emit and bring into our orbit. So how can we refine and authentically tune in to our aura to live our truth & purpose?
First, we must understand the uniqueness & radiance of our own auric essence. Practices like meditation, movement, breath-work, grounding in nature, connecting to animals, being near natural bodies of water, creating from the heart, connecting to our innate intelligence, feeling sun and moon rays, experiencing joy & pleasure, working through the subconscious mind & creating meaning in life all enhance the frequency of the aura.
Human Design can help us to understand the dynamics of how our aura informs our lived experience as we learn what it means to be a conscious human here on Earth. Human Design is a spiritual yet highly practical framework for realization and self understanding. Applying this knowledge helps us become our best self, living our purpose. The system provides an understanding that we all have our own unique energy and that we are different from one another in the ways we operate in the world, make decisions, and tap into our potential.
Through understanding how we can embody our essence, we recognize how we move best in the world according to our design. When we live according to our design, we can leave the greatest positive impact on the world, making something evolutionary and beautiful out of our existence here on Earth. By understanding your chart, you are diving deep into your energetic blueprint, the truth of who you were born to be, what your greatest potential is, the best way for you to move through life, and how to best collaborate with the universe to manifest your highest potential.
Once we start to live in alignment with our design, taking actions based on our personal blueprint and hone in on our innate gifts, our lives unfold in a deeply aligned way that is almost beyond words, bigger than our biggest dreams. Human Design opens us up to a life illuminated by the magic and infinite potential of the universe, fully carried and supported by it. It's a way for us to understand how we can release the resistance for that which is not aligned for us and choose to live according to our authenticity. With this knowledge, we can use our energy in a way that we know works with our design to have the most profound, soul led life imaginable.
In the most practical way, Human Design is also a form of self led energy work. It is a method of living our truth & raising self awareness by understanding our purpose. We find understanding of who we are through the natural gifts woven into our aura.
Through understanding the mechanics of our aura, we can maintain energetic balance and enhance our radiance as we live with intention, experiencing fulfillment and connection to the things that are truly meant for us.Energetic alignment naturally occurs as we gain deeper awareness of our aura. This intuitive awareness leads to subtle energetic calibration of our true essence. In this way, understanding and living our design is a form of energy work. It’s like internal feng shui, as we intentionally activate our inner states of awareness for the most effective, supportive, and balanced flow of energy within our aura, the home of our soul. We calibrate our auric field to support our natural design to have optimal flow of energy in our lives. With the knowledge of our own mechanics, we can live the design of our energetic body based on intentional thought, action, emotion, and expression.
By applying Human Design to our lives, we harmonize our soul with the energy we were born to express. Awareness is the first step to change. When we lean into our unique gifts and essence, we calibrate our energy field with intention as we commit to evolving to our highest potential. With this enhanced level of self awareness, we are able to shift our energy to the things we instinctively sense are aligned for us.
This heightened self awareness leads to more harmonious relationship dynamics and deeper emotional intelligence. We stop comparing ourselves to others and evolve past mental loops rooted in limitation and lack. We stop judging ourselves for behaving differently than others and for being inconsistent sometimes, owning our innermost dreams and desires. We gain confidence in the honest expression of our individuality and purpose. We own our truth and step into our potential, taking back our power from the times we’ve made ourselves small or allowed others to tell us who we ought to be. When we understand our aura dynamics, we honor and amplify our natural talents, embracing our gifts fully as our greatest contribution to the world. When we recognize our gifts and purpose, we can refine our talents and hone in on our vision, stepping into our manifestations with full trust that the universe is supporting us.
Through this understanding, we can build a stronger sense of trust in our own intuition, developing a stronger bond to our inner compass. On a very practical level, we feel more drawn to the things that are healthy, safe, and nourishing for us. We are guided by our intuition to the activities and environments that bring us true vitality. When we embody this vitality available to us when we live our design, we move forward with our strength and radiance.
With the Human Design information, we can learn how to tap into our intuition to listen to our body, hear the signals it tells us for our wellbeing, and live a lifestyle that is genuinely suited to our energetic and physical needs. We become our own authority, knowing that we have our own way of making decisions that always leads to the best possible outcome. With this grounded confidence in our decision making, we are supported by our energetic code and the universe in everything we do.
Ever since I began using Human Design as a daily tool for guidance and growth, my life has transformed beyond belief. The moment I started to truly live my design, my intuition spoke louder than ever before and I felt so clear on what was meant for me, my vision, my path, and how to move forward in a way that I could fully trust would be successful. It is so empowering to know and understand that there is a unique way for me to do life that will always prevail, and it is up to me fully to live it and for that I am so thankful. To have this sense of direction, support, and guidance by my own design and the universe is beautiful and nourishing beyond measure. The Human Design information is specifically for you, so that you as an individual can feel more understanding and compassionate toward yourself and your unique path. It helps us to be more attuned to our truth and connected to our intuition, our inner knowing. It helps us to affirm and align with what we recognize as truth within ourselves, to empower us to move forward with courage and grace.
I believe that true success is birthed from the center of our energetic blueprint through aligned action, intuition, self awareness, radical self responsibility, and devotion to truth and honesty with ourselves at all times. Human Design was originally known as The Human Design Experiment, so I encourage you to gather the knowledge of your chart, sprinkle it throughout your life, integrate it in whichever way feels right, and see what it does, after all it is an experiment and it’s supposed to be a fun process. It’s important that we have fun with it!
