Peace family,
I'm Joy Lewis and in this talk I'm going to share how human design helped me understand my natural energy flow.
How I'm meant to move through life in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.
For many years of my life,
I believed that if I wanted success,
I had to go out and make something happen.
I thought that being noticed meant being the one to command the room,
Speaking first,
Pushing forward,
Initiating.
But that didn't ever truly feel natural to me.
It felt forced.
I spent years trying to operate in a way that didn't naturally align with my energy and it led to frustration,
Burnout,
And feeling like I was doing everything right but not getting the results I desired.
That's when human design entered my life.
It completely shifted how I understood myself.
If you're new to it,
Human design is a personality and assessment system that blends astrology,
The I Ching,
The chakra system,
And quantum physics to map out how our energy naturally operates.
It reveals how we're naturally optimized to interact with the world,
Make decisions,
And move through life with greater ease.
If that sounds like a lot,
Don't worry.
I'll be breaking it down further in future talks.
For now,
I'd like to focus on the biggest lesson I learned and how embracing this lesson shifted everything.
So one of the biggest shifts for me was realizing that there isn't one right way to be.
There's only the aligned way to be for each of us.
I used to believe that if I wanted success,
I had to go out and make it happen,
Hustle,
And grind it out.
If I wanted to be noticed,
I had to be the first one to speak,
I had to command the room,
And put myself out there.
That's messaging so many of us receive,
Right?
But learning about my human design,
Specifically that I'm a generator type with an open throat center,
Showed me that my energy isn't designed to initiate in that way.
Instead of initiating or forcing things,
I thrive when I respond to what's already happening around me.
Instead of speaking just to be heard,
My words land best when I wait for the right invitation.
That truth was so liberating.
It explained why so much of what I thought I had to do felt exhausting and ineffective.
It also showed me that when I move with my energy rather than against it,
Things start falling into place.
Every human design type has its own natural energy flow,
And when we honor it,
Life feels more easeful and fulfilling.
Here's a brief introduction to each type and how their energy is designed to move.
Generators and manifesting generators are designed to respond.
Their energy builds momentum when they engage with what excites them,
What lights them up,
What brings them joy.
Manifestors are here to initiate.
Their power is in starting things and moving independently.
They really are here to get the ball rolling.
Projectors are designed to wait for recognition and invitations to share their wisdom.
Their wisdom shines when they are invited into the right spaces.
Reflectors are highly adaptable and need time to process.
Their clarity comes over time,
Not in the moment.
When we are conditioned to act in ways that don't match our energy,
We end up feeling exhausted,
Frustrated,
Or even disconnected.
But when we move in alignment with how we're naturally wired,
Things flow more easily.
So how can you start aligning with your natural energy flow?
Here are a few simple ways to get started.
Start noticing your natural patterns.
Pay attention to how you feel when you move through life.
Do you feel energized or drained?
Are you forcing things or are you following what naturally engages you?
Observe how you make decisions.
Do you thrive when you take initiative or do things work out better when you respond to what's already happening?
Another way is to just experiment.
Try moving with your energy rather than against it.
So if you learn you're a generator type,
Notice what happens when you wait to respond instead of initiating.
And if you learn you're a projector type,
See what shifts when you wait for recognition.
And one more way is to release the conditioning.
If something doesn't feel good or natural,
Even if you've been doing it that way for a long time,
It's okay to unlearn it.
Learning about myself through human design allowed me to give myself permission to move through life in a way that actually works for me.
It showed me that success doesn't come from forcing myself into someone else's way of being.
It comes from understanding and honoring my own energy.
If you've ever felt like you're pushing and pushing but not getting anywhere or you're constantly exhausted from trying to do things the quote unquote right way,
I invite you to explore your own design.
There's so much freedom in realizing that you don't have to be like everyone else to thrive.
You just have to align with what's right for you.
I'll be going deeper into human design in upcoming talks,
Breaking down the different types,
How conditioning shapes our energy and how we can decondition from patterns that don't serve us.
So if this resonated with you,
Stay tuned.
There's so much more to explore.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I'm Joy Lewis and I'll see you next time.
Journey on.
