Episode 5 - Generator Human Design Type

Generators are the most common type, making up about 37% of the population. They are still completely unique being based on other aspects of their design. Generators have a defined sacral center, which is a powerful sustainable motor center in the body. Their strategy is to respond to things in their life, and their aura draws things to them. It is important for Generators to set boundaries and follow their sacral response to avoid frustration.

Vanessa emphasizes the importance of learning to trust the body and follow the sacral strategy for Generators.

If you ask yourself,

Why am I here?

What's my purpose?

How can I fulfill my potential?

You're in the right place.

Welcome to the Lifestyle,

Relationships,

And Career Human Design series on Insight Timer.

I'm your host,

Vanessa Najah.

My mission is to help you be on purpose and fulfill your potential by aligning your body,

Mind,

And spirit so you can feel empowered,

Joyful,

Connected,

And free.

I am so excited to share with you how to do that through human design.

If it feels aligned,

I'd love it if you follow me on Insight Timer and share with your friends.

Now let's get to the episode.

It's always a good idea to have your human design chart with you when listening.

You can get yours for free by doing an internet search for free human design chart.

Hey everyone,

And welcome to episode 5 of the Lifestyle,

Career,

And Relationships Human Design podcast.

I'm your host,

Vanessa Najah,

And we are going to be talking about the human design type generators today.

I'm very excited about this because generators are actually the most common type.

I've heard different numbers around this,

But it's about 37% of the population.

Now don't let that deceive you.

Even though the type generator might be common,

Each generator is a completely unique being based on all the other aspects of their chart as well as their conditioning.

Generators are known in quantum human design as alchemists.

And in BG5,

Which is the business branch of the International Human Design School,

They are known as builders.

That tells you a little bit about what they do.

Generators are very much about actually doing work in the world,

And they are meant to find meaningful work that they absolutely love and become excellent at it.

So the generator name,

If you think of an actual diesel generator,

You fill it up with gas and it works and it works and it works.

And then eventually it runs out of gas.

And with the generators,

They are designed to wake up every morning when they're living in alignment with their gas tank absolutely full.

And then all day long,

They spend time engaging in things that they love to do using up that fuel.

And at night,

They go to bed exhausted,

But like a really good exhausted.

That kind of exhausted that you feel after a long day of really rewarding work.

And then overnight,

As they sleep,

Their gas tank refills.

And that is how they are meant to operate.

So,

In quantum human design,

They're known as alchemists and they're meant to turn inspiration into form.

They are doing the actual physical work of bringing things into the world.

And in BG5,

They are the builders.

And they really have this life force energy.

They have a defined sacral center,

Which is this powerful,

Sustainable motor center in the body.

And if you haven't listened to episode 3,

I go a little bit more into the centers.

But yeah,

This powerful,

Sustainable energy that they are meant to use up every single day.

And then they get to recharge overnight.

Generators have a very beautiful,

Open,

Developing aura.

And it can feel like an auric hug.

And it draws things to them.

They are magnetic.

It really pulls things into their life.

That is correct for them.

And so their response,

Which is the generator strategy,

Or their strategy is responding.

And the strategy is how they're meant to interact with life.

And they draw things in with their aura that they get to respond to.

And the response,

And this can be anything,

Like generator types are responding all the time.

They might be responding to listening to a bird outside.

And they get up and go to the window and look for it.

Or they are looking at a menu in a restaurant and they see something like,

Ooh,

Yes,

That's something I really want.

Or they see a job ad and they really feel drawn to it and they apply for the job.

So responding is their strategy.

And it's going to be different for different generator types.

But it is a yes,

No.

It's a very binary response.

And this can be felt in the actual body.

So they are driven by their bodies.

Their body is responding.

And the body might be pulling them towards something or it might be pushing them away for something,

For a no.

There are often guttural sounds associated with this.

And it could be something like,

Ooh,

For a yes,

Or uh,

For a no.

Even faces go with it.

Or an uh-huh for a yes or an uh-uh for a no.

But it's a very binary yes,

No response.

And the things that come into their lives,

People,

Places,

Situations are all things that they get to respond to.

And so when they follow their response,

They get to live in alignment and they get to interact with the things that are correct for them.

And when they get that yes response,

It really gives them the energy to do whatever it is that they are responding towards.

So if it's like,

Say,

A work project,

They will have the energy to complete that project and to engage with it in a way that feels really good to them.

Now,

Unfortunately,

So many of us are really conditioned to,

We're conditioned not to respond.

We're conditioned to just,

You know,

Create out of our heads or have an idea and just do it.

Or to use our minds to,

You know,

Justify if something is correct for us or not.

And that often leads to a lot of frustration,

Especially for generators.

So learning to really trust your body and let your body guide you is such an important thing for generators.

And reconnecting to that sacral strategy is so,

So important.

One thing that generators do want to watch out for,

Because they have all this energy to do and their sacral energy is very juicy magnetic energy and everybody wants some of it.

So generators do need to be careful about boundaries.

And this is where,

Again,

Following the sacral response is so important because a lot of times,

You know,

If we don't have healthy boundaries and somebody asks us for something and it's easy to ask generators for things because we have this open aura and somebody asks for something or asks the generator for something,

The generator might feel guilty saying no or feel obligated to do it or they want to avoid confrontation so they say yes.

And this generally doesn't lead to good outcomes so it's just super,

Super important to really honor that sacral strategy and let that guide you,

If you're a generator,

Into what is correct for you,

What the correct work is,

The correct people to be with,

The correct thing to eat for lunch.

Just following that sacral strategy is so,

So,

So important.

And the emotional themes of the generator.

So when they are living in alignment,

They're really going to feel satisfied.

And again,

It's that full body satisfaction of having really done an excellent job at something.

And this could be anything from like your actual job to some kind of a hobby that you absolutely love that you just engaged your energy with and it just feels so rewarding.

And when they are not living in alignment,

They are going to feel frustrated a lot.

And that frustration,

Oftentimes it can happen because not following strategy,

Not responding or saying yes to things you want to say no to,

Saying no to things that you want to say yes to.

So again,

Learning to really live by response is so important.

And for generators,

You don't necessarily have to wait very long to get something to respond to.

And the example that I like to use is,

If you wanted to learn something new,

For instance,

Say you decide you want to take a course,

Rather than just immediately diving into the course,

Just kind of wait and see what shows up in your world.

Maybe you see an ad on Facebook and you're like,

Ooh,

Okay,

That's a response.

Let's go and take the course.

Or you hear somebody talking about the subject and you're like,

Oh,

Okay,

That's a yes responses.

Yeah,

That means,

Okay,

Go ahead and sign up for the course.

After you've also followed your authority,

Which I will talk about in a separate podcast,

If you want to follow strategy and authority,

But usually like that first step.

And actually for half of generators,

Your strategy and your authority is the same.

So for half of generators,

If you're a SQL generator,

You can just go,

If you get a yes,

That's a yes for you.

Or you can just go with whatever you got a yes to.

Now this is in contrast to how we're conditioned,

Which is,

Oh,

I got an idea in my head.

I want to take this new course.

I'm just going to go sign up for it.

And then it turns out I don't like the course.

Or I don't know,

Like two weeks later,

I'm just no longer interested in the subject.

So really following your response on these types of things is super important.

So that is just a little,

A little bit about the human design generator types.

They are such amazing,

Incredible beings.

They're really here to build and create in the world,

To use that amazing SQL energy that they have,

To just commit to doing the right work and becoming absolutely awesome at it.

And the reason there are so many generators,

And there's also a lot of manifesting generators,

Which I'll talk about next week,

Is that this is how the world was built.

All of these amazing things,

Buildings,

The tangible things that we have in the world,

This is what generators build.

So it's that turning that inspiration into form.

And this is why in quantum human design,

They are called the alchemist.

They're taking things and turning them into actual,

Or things,

Ideas,

Inspirations,

And turning them into actual things.

So thank you so much for listening or watching,

Wherever you are seeing this,

That's it for today's episode.

I know your time is important,

And I'm so grateful you chose to spend it with me.

It would mean the world to me if you rate this episode,

And include a review on what landed for you.

You can also include any questions you have,

Or what else you'd like to learn about.

And the absolute best compliment is if you share it with someone you think will benefit.

It really helps me spread the message.

Love and blessings to you.

Reviews

Thank you. Loved it. Wrote some of it in my journal fir motivation.

I'm a generator according to the human design chart. Just getting started learning more about it overall.

Thank you for that amazing breakdown because I was so curious about this. And actually looking at something about it the other day. Now I have to listen to the others 🙏
