HUMAN DESIGN 101: WHAT IS THE NOT-SELF?

PERHAPS YOU’VE WORKED TOWARD A GOAL ONLY TO FIND IT WASN’T SO SATISFYING ONCE ACHIEVED?

Or just had that overwhelming feeling that you aren’t living YOUR life?

LIKELY YOU’RE WORKING OUT OF YOUR NOT-SELF.

THE NOT-SELF IS EXACTLY WHAT IS SOUNDS LIKE, IT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE LET OUR CONDITIONING TAKE OVER AND DRIVE OUR LIFE FORWARD INSTEAD OF ALLOWING OUR NATURAL AUTHORITY TO MAKE DECISIONS.

WE ALL HAVE A UNIQUE WAY OF MAKING DECISIONS AS OUR AUTHENTIC SELVES.

BY GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH OURSELVES, WE CAN BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH OUR LIFE AND OTHERS IN A NEW WAY. A FREEING WAY.

HUMAN DESIGN SHOWS US HOW TO GET IN OUR OWN CORRECT LANE. MOST OF US SPEND OUR LIFE OPERATING OUT OF THIS NOT-SELF SPACE WHERE WE ARE PUSHING TOO HARD AND USING OUR ENERGY INCORRECTLY. WE’RE ALL DRIVING AROUND IN FERRARIS, BUT HAVEN’T LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE. HUMAN DESIGN IS LIKE GETTING A DRIVING LESSON SO THAT WE CAN REALLY GET GOING.

Each energy type has its own theme that allows us to see when we’re out of our alignment - or driving in our NOT-SELF.

Generators + Manifesting Generators: when you are experiencing thematic frustration - it’s time to take a look at what you are spending your time on - has your energy stopped flowing and you’re trying to force it? Frustration is a sign you’re no longer using your energy efficiently.

Manifestors: When that anger bubbles up, you’re likely not speaking up or someone has tried to direct your action. When you’ve got that righteous anger flowing - PAY ATTENTION! You’re out of alignment.

Projectors: BITTERNESS, JEALOUSY, ENVY, COMPARISON - if any of these flavors are popping up - it’s time to regroup. With our deep ability to see into others, we often neglect ourselves. Bitterness (and it’s related cousins jealousy, etc) show up when we need to spend some time inside ourselves.

Reflectors: When you are just DISAPPOINTED, that’s the signpost from the universe that you need to take some time to release the energy you’ve collected along the way from society. You are in alignment when you’ve got that feeling of surprise and delight. If you’re overwhelmed with disappointment, time to spend some time alone recharging.

These energetic signposts are so helpful in telling us when it’s time to get out of our minds and into the body. If you’re finding that you’re living in your Not-Self more than alignment, that’s totally fine! No need to beat yourself up, just start getting curious. Journaling, yoga, movement, a conversation with a trusted friend can all be good places to begin to reconnect with your own authenticity.
