An Introduction to Human Design for High...

Marya Choby
About this episode

At Happy Highly Sensitive Life, you’ve seen me cover living as an HSP from a lot of different angles. As a multi-passionate person, I'm always following my intuition to discover and explore from a variety of perspectives. 

If you’re wondering what’s on the horizon for Happy Highly Sensitive Life in 2022, this space will be evolving to explore living as an HSP through the lens of Human Design.  

You may be wondering why Human Design is relevant for HSPs. 

I know you come here for ideas, strategies and tips for living a life of greater ease that lights you up. You’re seeking answers and solutions for your life. 

And if you’re feeling stuck and you’re not sure why a strategy works for someone else, but not for you, here’s why. 

You are unique and you need solutions that are personalized, not one size fits all. 

That’s where Human Design comes in. 

Human Design is a personality assessment tool that synthesizes the ancient systems of astrology, the Hindu Chakra System, the Chinese I Ching, and the Kabbalah with genetics, biochemistry, quantum mechanics and astronomy. Your Human Design chart is based on your birth information and creates an image of your unique personality makeup. 

Human Design is especially useful for HSPs. 

We often struggle with fatigue.  Human Design shows you how you can tap into sustainable energy and how you’re meant to work and rest to create a life that allows you to thrive. 

We often question and second-guess ourselves. Human Design shows you how to tap into your inner knowing and wisdom to make decisions that are aligned for you. And that living in alignment expands your energy. 

We take in the energy of other people. I’m often asked to talk about how to set boundaries and to share strategies for living as an empath or for dealing with difficult relationships. 

Human Design provides insight into how you absorb energy from others, why conflict feels magnified, and how you experience pressure that can lead you to say yes when you want to say no. 

Once you know how you take in the energy of others, you can learn to work with the energy in a new and different way. 

I’ll explore these subjects in depth in the new year, through the lens of Human Design.

Seeing yourself through the lens of Human Design is so confirming. And, as I’ve studied to become a Human Design practitioner, I’ve repeatedly had moments of deeply seeing myself that have allowed me to develop more self-compassion for who I am and for how my life has progressed. 

I have come home to myself with a level of self-trust I’ve never known before. 

As an HSP, I know first hand that questioning and second-guessing yourself can be consuming. And that’s why I want other HSPs to have a chance to learn about their Human Design. 

In the latest episode of the podcast, I’m talking about how to get started with learning about your Human Design.

You will discover…

  • How to run your free Human Design chart and the basic components of the chart.
  • The 5 Types, their unique purpose, energy configuration, and their corresponding Strategy for navigating life in an aligned way.
  • An overview of personal Authorities, and how to tap into your inner wisdom to make decisions that are aligned. 
  • How to get started with living by your Design. 

If your intuition says it’s a fit, I hope you’ll join me for the next evolution of Happy Highly Sensitive Life and the podcast.
