how does energy type help me get what is meant for me?

“What is meant for you will find you.”

Have you heard this phrase? While its truth remains, we often journey a lifetime to be found.

Understanding your energy type in Human Design allows us to attract what is meant for us. We are each designed with a unique energy type. There are 5 different energy types in Human Design: Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector and Reflector. Your energy type is an overview of how your energy works in the world around you. Each energy type also has a specific strategy and authority that will help you make decisions based on this energy.

We are constantly exchanging energy with the world around us. Whether we are doing this with people we are in relationship with, in our jobs, in daily decisions or situations, this energy exchange will flow with clarity and less disruption when you are using your energy correctly. When you know your energy type and the authority and strategy that works best for your type, you will feel aligned to the path that is waiting for you. This discovery opens up a way of living that helps us let go of the conditioned beliefs we have based on the way you may have “thought” was the correct way to make decisions or interact in the world.

Here is an example from my own life . . .

All my life, I was told that I should stick with something to the end. “Don’t give up!” “Keep striving,!” I chose a career, and I have stuck with that same career for many, many years. However, within this career, I often found that I would be extra excited about a new activity, project or subject only to start the work and then months, weeks or even days later, I would lose interest and be excited about something else. I am also a lover of learning. However, I often start to read a book about a subject of interest only to get a few chapters in, and then start reading one or two additional books about different subjects I am also interested in. I can’t describe the pile of books in my home that have dogtagged pages or bookmarks halfway through. I fought the conditioned belief that I was a bit “flaky” or even “lazy" when it came to these examples in my life. However, when I discovered that my energy type was that of a Manifesting Generator, I came to realize that I am designed to follow my interests in multiple things. As I started to listen to my strategy of Responding to things that I could feel my Sacral Authority guiding me toward, the things that were meant for me to do, read, experience and share started to come to me with ease. I found myself energized by the life that was meant for me and I found less Frustration as a result.

Knowing your energy type is the first step in understanding your design. As you learn about your energy’s authority and strategy you will see that what is meant for you will find you!
