How Human Design Will Crack the Code to Optimise Your Energy

If you've been hearing whispers about human design lately, you're not alone. Human design seems to be on the tip of everyones tongue at the moment, captivating hearts and minds with its profound insights into our energetic makeup, and I, like so many others am hooked!

But what exactly is human design, and why is it causing such a buzz? Well, think of it as your personalised roadmap to understanding yourself on a level you've never imagined. Similar to the Myers-Briggs personality test, but with a twist—it delves into your unique energetic essence to unlock how you best work, rest and play.

So, why should you care? Because understanding your human design opens the door to a world of self-awareness and empowerment. It's like discovering a treasure map to your innermost being, guiding you to unlock your full potential and embrace your true self.

Today, we're focusing on one aspect of human design—energy types. From the fiery Manifestors to the magnetic Generators, the multi-passionate Manifesting Generators, the insightful Projectors, and the rare gems known as Reflectors, each energy type offers a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of your unique experience.

Understanding your energy type is to understand how your energy influences every aspect of your life—how you receive, store, and generate energy. Discovering your energy type isn't just about understanding yourself better; it's about fostering deeper connections with those around you, honouring each individual's unique needs and strengths.

So, before we dive in, if you don’t know your energy type already you can generate your Human Design Chart online by entering your birth time, date and location.

Unlike many personality tests, which can be influenced by your mood or mindset on the day you take them, leading to potentially varying results, human design offers a stable foundation. Your human design chart remains constant, unaffected by daily fluctuations. Drawing from chakra energy systems, astrology, and other modalities like the I Ching, human design provides a comprehensive framework for understanding your individual essence. Today, we'll delve into the fascinating realm of energy types, offering just a glimpse of the rich insights human design has to offer.


Understanding your energy type reveals how you receive, store, and generate energy—an essential key to unlocking deeper insights into yourself and those around you. Recognising that each individual possesses a unique energetic makeup underscores the importance of personalised self-care practices. For me, delving into human design has not only enhanced my understanding of others but also allowed me to extend greater compassion and grace, as I gain deeper insights into the energetic blueprint of those around me and what truly motivates them.


It's pretty fascinating—quantum physicists have shown that everything, from you and me to the screen you're staring at, is just a mix of energy and matter. Each little bit of it vibrates at its own unique energetic frequency. So, when we stroll into a room and go, "Wow, it's buzzing in here," we're talking about the room's vibe literally vibrating at a higher frequency than those downer moments when we feel low, like when we're sad, guilty, or disappointed. Those emotions are part of the low-vibe crew—they operate at a different, lower vibrational frequency. But then there's the good stuff, like love, gratitude, and pride—those are the high-vibe, vibrating at a higher frequency.

Here's where it gets interesting: we're not just our bodies. Nope, we're souls handing out in these bodies of ours. So, here I am, hanging out in this particular body, and there you are, rockin' your own unique soul-body combo.

This is where human design comes in, with its fascinating take on things. See, it's all about the energetic coordinates of when and where you were born. Your soul picked this specific body at that specific time for a reason—it's like a cosmic match-up, designed to help you fulfill your purpose, your destiny. And guess what? A ton of that purpose and destiny stuff is outlined in your human design. I mean, once you start diving into it, it's like a flood of "aha" moments. You're like, "Whoa, that totally explains why I'm like this!" It's all about feeling seen and validated. 'Cause we're all unique beings, and society's attempts to shove us into neat little boxes don't always cut it. That's where human design comes in, shining a light on our individual quirks and showing us that it's all good to be exactly who we are.

Alright, let's dive into your energy type. There are five main energy types: Manifestor, Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, and Reflector. Yep, just five types, but don't worry, there's a whole lot more to it. Your human design chart delves deep into the specifics, but for today, we're focusing on these five energy types.

Alright, let's kick things off with the Manifestor energy type. Now, if you're a Manifestor, you're in a unique 9% of the population. From a young age, Manifestors just know what's up—they're the go-getters, ready to charge ahead with their goals. But sometimes, they might feel a bit held back, by their perants when they are, well, parenting. It's like they're bursting with ideas, but there's this invisible leash holding them back. Manifestors are like those fire-starters—they ignite the spark to rally others around a cause. Picture them as the bus driver, steering the direction while others hop on board, trusting them to lead the way. So, if you're a Manifestor, you've got that fire within you to kickstart things, but, remember to take breaks to recharge too. That's just how your energy rolls—bursting into action and then taking a breather to refuel.


Now, let's talk about the Generators. They make up a hefty 36% of the population, so you're in good company if you're one of them. Generators? Well, they're like these little powerhouses, constantly generating energy. When they stumble upon something that truly excites them, they're practically overflowing with energy, ready to share it with the world. But here's the kicker—Generators need to listen to their gut. They've got to chase after what lights them up because that's what keeps their energy flowing. It's like a cycle—the more they pursue their passions, the more energised they become, and the more they can spread that positivity to those around them. You see, Generators are magnetic when they're doing what they love. But they've got to watch out for falling into the trap of doing things that don't ignite their fire. That just drains them. So, if you're a Generator, remember to prioritise what truly lights you up, and don't hesitate to say no to the things that don't. After all, your energy is precious, and you've got to keep that generator running smoothly.

Now, let's dive into the Manifesting Generators. They're a fascinating blend of Manifestors and Generators, making up 32% of the population. Yep, they're pretty popular, falling right in between Generators and Manifestors. So, if you're a Manifesting Generator, you're basically a jack-of-all-trades—a multi-passionate individual with a zest for life. You've got your fingers in many pies, and that's not a bad thing at all. It's just how you're wired. You see, each of your interests and passions is like a stepping stone, propelling you forward on your journey. You're not one to stick to the same old routine or career path forever. No, you're here to explore, to experiment, and to show us all the myriad of possibilities life has to offer. You embody both the energy of Generators and Manifestors, generating enthusiasm and drive in multiple areas of your life, while also possessing that spontaneous, go-getter spirit of Manifestors. So, embrace your diverse interests and forge those exciting new paths—you're here to inspire us all with your boundless energy and creativity.

Now, let's chat about Projectors. They make up about 22% of the population. Being a Projector myself, I've got some insights to share. Projectors are often referred to as seers. They have this unique ability to take a step back, like a bird soaring overhead, and observe how things unfold. They excel at strategising and understanding processes because they can foresee the ripple effects of actions and how they'll impact various aspects. Picture a Projector as that bird, perched up high, guiding others on their paths. They're great at teaching or strategising, seeing threads that others might miss. But here's the thing: Projectors are more about guiding than doing. They can formulate plans and strategies but might not be the ones to execute them. They have a shorter battery life, so needing frequent breaks to recharge. If your a projector don’t forget to give yourself some grace to recharge after all that seeing.

And lastly, we have Reflectors, the rarest gems, comprising just 1% of the population. I recently had the pleasure of meeting a Reflector, and she was truly captivating—everything I anticipated and more. Reflectors, as the name suggests, mirror our energy. Interacting with a Reflector is like gazing into a mirror; they have this remarkable ability to reflect our own energy back to us. However, this also means they can easily absorb others' energy, especially in crowded spaces. Consequently, they must be diligent about protecting their energy and taking time to recharge, as they absorb the vibes of everyone around them. Reflectors are highly attuned to their environments and the people within them, feeling into the energy of those they encounter. They're the sensitive souls who deeply perceive and reflect the energy they encounter, offering profound insights into our own selves.

We're all incredibly unique, and that's our superpower. Understanding your human design offers a peek into your individual superpowers. If you're ready to uncover more, check out our next Human Design workshop . During the workshop, I'll create your unique Human Design chart, and together we'll explore each component. We'll also discuss overlaps with others in the room and how these aspects manifest in our lives. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with yourself on a deeper level and gain insight into how human design influences you and those around you.

Sending lots of love and gratitude your way.
