78. The beauty of Human Design - with Christina Ferschen (Part 2/2)

Send us Fan MailAs promised, here's part 2 of my conversation with Christina, a German expat here in New Jersey. Christina is a certified Embodicode® Mentor & Human Design Coach. She offers sessions both in German and English.What is Human Design?To sum it up, Human Design is a comprehensive and integrative system that combines elements from various ancient and modern disciplines to help individuals understand their unique personality, decision-making process, and life purpose.The Human Design System synthesizes aspects of two types of science: the ancient observational systems of Astrology, the Chinese I’Ching, the Hindu-Brhmin Chakras and The Tree of Life from Kabbala; and the contemporary disciplines of Quantum Mechanics, Astronomy, Genetics, and Biochemistry - this is according to its founder, Ra Uru Hu, in 1987. Human Design centers around the division of human beings into 5 "energy types": Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. Each type has its corresponding "strategy," a mode of behavior that is natural to the functioning of that particular type’s aura or energy system. Human Design focuses specifically on these aura dynamics, using this information to prescribe "self" and "not self" themes that are then used to evaluate how one should best live according to one’s type.Human Design maps 9 energy centers in the body. An individual's bodygraph reveals which of these centers are "defined", meaning that they are consistent and reliable in their functioning, and which ones are “undefined”, meaning the energy is more fluid and less consistent. These centers are connected by Channels and form Gates at the connecting points.There are also 7 Authorities, including splenic, emotional, sacral, or lunar, amongst others, and 12 different Profiles.And all of it can be calculated based on the date, time and location of birth.We mention the Gene Keys, a big component or rather complementary system, but we don't go into this during our conversation due to time constraints.Time stamps: 24:42 Manifestor, 31:55 Projector, 33:04 Generator, 38:09 Manifesting Generator, 42:33 Reflector.Here are some resources on Human Design, some of which are mentioned in the episode:Christina's website (in German, AI is your friend for translation)Jovian Archivehttps://humandesign.net/https://human.design/https://www.mybodygraph.com/Gene Keys (Richard Rudd)Interesting podcast episode: Rick Rubin (Tetragrammaton podcast) interviewing Richard RuddContact Christina via her website or on Instagram.
