THE ENERGY TYPES
In Human Design, there are 5 different energy types which describe the nature of your aura, the way in which your energy is in continual collaboration with the universe and your ecosystem. Each energy type is informed by the energetic circuitry within your aura based on the energy expressed in the atmosphere the precise moment you were born and when your soul incarnated to the Earth.
The 5 different types are the Generator, Manifesting Generator, Manifestor, Projector, and the Reflector. The energy type is not a personality type, but rather the nature of how your aura relates to the outer world, other people, and how it co-creates with the universe. The Human Design chart, the Bodygraph, contains a multitude of key aspects and many nuances, but the energy type is the most important part to understand to begin to live according to your aura energetics.
ENERGY DYNAMICS
Each energy type has their own Strategy, which is the specific method for getting into alignment and living the truth of your energetic circuitry so you can find more grace and fulfillment in life. Inherent to the energy type is what we call the Signature, the state of being and feeling you will experience when you are living in accordance to your true nature, when you act according to your Strategy. Your Signature is a byproduct of living your Strategy. This sensation is the embodied marker that gauges your alignment and directs you to your life purpose. With awareness and acceptance, the Signature can be perceived as an embodied physical sensation that indicates that you are on your path to purpose and actualization of your innermost potential. The more you are able to experience your Signature in life, the more purpose and beauty you will experience. It’s not an end goal, but rather the internal vibe you want to embody as much as you can to live the truth of your essence.
The Not Self Theme is what comes when you fall off track from your Signature when you move away from your Strategy. Similar to the Signature, it can be felt in the body. When you act in a way that actively goes against your Strategy, you move further away from your Signature and enter your Not Self Theme which is an unpleasant state of awareness that informs you that you are moving away from your purpose, falling out of alignment, and losing connection with your soul essence. The Not Self Theme affects your lived experience as well as how others perceive you and the impact you have on them. So the more you fall out of alignment, the less you will be able to share your light with others, and the more you live according to your energetics, the more magnetic and radiant you become, creating value and beauty in the world. The more you live in accordance to your Strategy, the more fulfillment and purpose you will feel as you experience your Signature, living out your authentic gifts and radiate your unique essence.
Each energy type has a specific role in the evolution of consciousness and a unique purpose in the world. They are all inherently crucial for the function of society and work together in countless ways. I believe that we are all born with a specific purpose in the evolution of humanity, and that we are all born destined for greatness. The less we resist this and the more we live according to our true nature, the happier and more fulfilled we become. Human Design helps us to understand our own individuality so we can live our design, our inherent greatness to its fullest to maximize our potential and lead truly beautiful lives.
THE MANIFESTING GENERATOR
Manifesting generators are very quick and powerful people that have a visionary essence, making them capable of creating many valuable manifestations in one lifetime. They can jump between mastery of various things in one lifetime and create big impact in the world. They forge a new path forward in life and create something that’s never done before. Manifesting generators inspire others to follow their passions to find their purpose, and to go after the things you want to pursue. They ebb and flow harmonizing between the energy of the manifestor and generator. They are a hybrid of the two. Their generator aspect with the defined sacral center is here to generate life force for others and the manifestor aspect with the defined throat center is here to make things come to life, to actualize the fruits of their sacral creation into the world. It is vital for them to always need to listen to sacral response before using their throat to express themselves and bring their creations to their world. To successfully share what they love with the world, they must be present and respond, then use the voice to express and go forward.
Manifesting Generators can be conditioned into thinking they need to complete projects before moving on to something else, but that isn't true. They can flow between tasks and missions seamlessly and do better when they have many things going on at once. Manifesting generators may have many different projects going on at a time, run multiple businesses, have led a multitude of seemingly unrelated career paths, and lead deeply dynamic lives. They have the creative life force and power to pull it all off and then move on to the next thing as they wish. Oftentimes when they look back at the trajectory of their life and reflect on everything they’ve put into the world, it all makes sense in their evolution. This is all in alignment for the manifesting generator. So they must not be too critical of their unique process, knowing that they are here to pave their own way to fulfillment and success in life, whatever that means to them. Manifesting generators must be unafraid to move their life into uncharted territory and be revolutionary.
It is very important for the manifesting generator to be around people who support their own unique way of operating. They are meant to use their strategy of responding to the things in their orbit, and then also utilize their manifestor aspect by properly informing the people around them of what they are up to, what they are creating, and where they are headed so that the right people can rally for them, support them, and jump on board with their revolutionary ideas and manifestations.
The Strategy for the manifesting generator is to respond. They have a defined sacral center, which is the powerhouse of creativity, desire, life force, and creation. The sacral center responds to things in the orbit of the individual. When things come into the orbit of a manifesting generator, it is up to them to respond in order to decide whether they want to make the thing a part of their lived experience or not. They are meant to respond with a yes or a no to the things that enter their field of awareness. So when a manifesting generator is offered a piece of pie, their sacral will immediately light up and tell them instantly “mmm yes please!” or “uhhh no not right now I’m kind of nauseous but thank you!” or… if their best friend invites them to see a movie tonight their sacral may respond with “heck yea! see you then” or “no thanks I know my ex will be there and that’s not what I need right now.” It’s a gut reaction, physically felt in the body.
The sacral center only operates in the present moment, so it is very important for manifesting generators to consistently check in with themselves and ask their sacral if the opportunities and things being presented to them are aligned or not. If they are not, it is in their best interest to make changes swiftly without shame, fear, or regret, fully trusting their own process knowing that their own way of making decisions is the way they will connect to their purpose and true authentic self.
The Not Self Theme of the manifesting generator is frustration. They can become frustrated when they are not doing what lights them up, especially when they aren't flowing in the way that feels most natural to them. They have to honor their impulses and follow their excitement. Manifesting generators become frustrated when they aren't accessing their light because its been blocked by things keeping them from their passions and soul purpose. This happens when they neglect their Strategy of responding. When they say yes to too many things, yes to things that they knew weren’t meant for them, when they ignore their immediate sacral gut response, when they actively go against their gut response and follow that trajectory, frustration builds. When manifesting generators respond properly to their environment and the things in their orbit, acting on whats being shown to them, they can absorb whats meant for them and utilize it to generate more energy. It’s important for manifesting generators to differentiate what a mental reaction is versus a sacral gut response. They want to make sure they have an embodied sacral response, not a mental reaction. This comes with practice and faith.
The Signature of the manifesting generator is satisfaction. When they follow their Strategy and respond to life, they attract things into their orbit that bring them greater alignment and thus a sense of satisfaction. When a manifesting generator is satisfied, they aren’t desperately looking for new things to respond to or getting frustrated about their overcommitments or misunderstandings. They feel a deep sense of satisfaction with their life, purpose, and experiences.
Manifesting generators actually create new paths for others to follow and inspire others to function in their own unique way, following their excitement. They bring light and electricity to everyone they encounter when in alignment. They invigorate others to follow their creative impulses and sacral creative drive. When manifesting generators own their own path, they give others permission to do the same. They peel back layers of judgment and shame in doing things in a new way. They are fireballs of energy that can accomplish massive tasks and do big things, many in one lifetime.
