How is Self Love related to Genetic Type in Human Design?
We often hear nowadays that we need to love ourselves. However, for each of us, this means different things because we are all here for different purposes.
Through understanding Human Design helps us open the door to self-love using practical tools offered as Strategy and Authority for each Genetic Type.
All people are divided into 4 Genetic Types. There are no bad or good types, no “unlucky” or unnecessary people. It’s simply that everything works differently within us, and we are here for different things. That’s why self-love is different for each of us (it manifests differently for each of us). And first and foremost, it is based on respecting how our bodies operate.
So, there are a total of 4 Genetic Types. And each of these Genetic Types has an inherent Strategy and Inner Authority, guiding them through life. And all these people are here for different purposes.
The first type is Manifestor. These individuals are here to transform the world through the impact of their aura on others. In other words, they carry a powerful energy, and due to the density of a Manifestor’s aura, it impacts other people. That’s why Manifestors excel at initiating and manifesting things. Energy manifests through them, and they have an impact even if they don’t say anything but simply remain nearby.
Certain states can indicate whether a person is living in alignment with their true nature or living a life that is not authentic to them.
These states are referred to as the “True Self” signature and “Not-Self” theme in Human Design.
The True Self signature for Manifestors is finding peace within themselves, with others, and with the world around them. However, when they are not living their life according to their strategy of informing (those who are impacted by their actions) before taking actions, or if they are not initiating things and instead waiting for a request or invitation from outside, they may experience anger and even rage. These emotions can build up within them, even if they are not always outwardly expressed.
The next type is Generator. And there is a subtype called Manifesting Generators. These individuals are here to generate, build and progress from one level to another, mastering the art of handling things.
They are here to simply be life energy and invest that life energy into the right things. Their strategy is to respond and to act out of response.
When Generators or Manifesting Generators respond and then invest their energy accordingly, they experience satisfaction. They either do something or they don’t, based on the response.
However, if Generators initiate, start doing things based on their mental agenda or go against their body’s response, then they experience frustration.
The next type is Projector. Projectors are here to penetrate with their awareness and guide energies. They penetrate with their awareness simply by being present.
Due to their penetrating and absorbing aura, they deeply read people and situations. They can skillfully and sensitively guide others when they are focused on others and when they are in the presence of the correct people.
Therefore, when Projectors follow their Strategy to wait for recognition-based invitations and rely on their Inner Authority (which is unique to each individual and can be discovered through a Foundation Reading) when they make decisions, they live a life that can be called successful. They then guide others toward success and experience success themselves.
However, if Projectors initiate, meaning they try to achieve what they think is necessary or best for them based on their mental agenda and if they chase after people they believe they need, they will experience bitterness and resentment due to being unrecognized and feeling not needed as they are.
The fourth type of individuals is Reflector. They are a very rare type, comprising only 1% of the population. These people are here to reflect the interactions of systems, reflect groups of people, and see who stands out, who handles energies in their body with awareness.
If Reflectors follow their Strategy of waiting for the lunar cycle, i.e. which is 28 days, before making decisions, then they can transcend their mind and truly experience what is called surprise.
However, if Reflectors focus on finding “who am I?” and on discovering themselves in relationships, they often experience disappointment from everything being the same as always.
Human Design, with its practical tools, helps us see how individual designs operate specifically in each case, how our body functions. It guides us on how to truly love ourselves, living our lives the way we came here to live them.
