Deep dives

The Essence of Human Design

Human design is described as a synthesis of four ancient wisdom traditions: astrology, the I Ching, the Hindu chakra system, and the Kabbalah tree of life. This system provides an energetic blueprint of an individual at the moment of birth, incorporating influences from celestial bodies through particles known as neutrinos that imprint themes onto every person. Human design acts not just as a tool for introspection but as an experiential roadmap for understanding oneself. By examining various components, including types and centers, it allows individuals to uncover their true nature, strengths, and areas of potential growth.
