Meet Elin, a mentor and guide within Human Design. She helps women who don’t know how to go from dream to actually living it, fully embodied on their own terms and conditions. Elin had a rough start in life and uses her experience together with her knowledge within Human Design, teaching others how they can embody another reality - one that just isn’t a far away vision, but an actual reality since this is what I have created and living for myself.

This week, we had the privilege to have Elin as a guest writer, she walks you through how Human Design can be a part of your Self Development journey.

My name is Elin and I work as a mentor and guide for women who don’t know how to go from dream to actually living it, fully embodied on their own terms and conditions. My practice is mainly based on a system called Human Design, alongside with my own experiences like going from a rough start in life with a father who passed away when I was 14 and a mother who suffered from physical and psychological problems which kept me in a rut of co-dependency for a long time not knowing my value. To today where I am helping and teaching others how they can embody another reality - one that just isn’t a far away vision, but an actual reality since this is what I have created and living for myself. So let's dig deeper in one of the most interesting subjects I know - Human Design.

Human Design is based on astrology as well as the cabalistic ”tree of life”, I ching and the chakra system and was created by a man named Ra Uru Hu. All together this creates what’s called ”a body graph”, which shows you your design and how you are designed to create flow, ease and a fulfilling life. Sounds too good to be true?

The thing is that from birth until somewhere around the age of 7, our subconscious picks up different programmings like ”I need to do this in order to get this” or ”I can only be loved in this setting” which aren’t true - or at least not the only truth there is. More so about what you believe to be true since your conscious mind only have limited knowledge based on previous experiences. This is what shapes your surroundings and the things that matches your frequency according to it. What we think (unconsciously), we match and recreate. So if the little version of you, your inner child, is wounded and has different kinds of programming, the grown up version of you will as well. But, if we already am programmed, there has to be ways to reprogram, right? This is when Human Design becomes handy. 

In my very own experience I have done it in several different ways, and getting to know my Human Design is by far one of the most effective ways of reprogramming (this added with hypnosis has been life changing for me). But not to say that it’s the same as a quick fix. Because it isn’t. Knowing your Human Design can help you unblock the different limiting beliefs you picked up on when you were little, since knowing your design will guide you back home. To you. Not the version your mother taught you to be. Not the version society expected you to be. Not the version your teacher teaches you to play. You. By knowing what isn’t you, you can start to explore what is according to your signature theme and your not self. This reminds you that you were never broken in the first place and how to reprogram the previous versions of you. The best part? It gives you the tools on how to do so.

Let's start with the basics; first things first, you need to know your exact time of birth, where you were born, which year, month and of course which day. This is important since the different aspects of a chart change during the entire day, even down to minutes. You can get your free chart here:  https://www.myhumandesign.com/ .

I know it easily can get overwhelming at a first glance of your chart, but trust the process and have fun with it. You don’t need to know everything right away. According to Ra himself the so-called deconditioning (relearning and getting to know the core of who you truly are and desire to be, do and create) takes about 7 years, so let it take time. It’s after all you, getting to know yourself again.

My best advice is to start with your energy type; what creates the feeling of flow for you, and how does it feel when it doesn’t flow; what brings you energy and what drains you of it? These are some things you can easily understand and explore about yourself due to your energy type.

Another part of your design that I would highly recommend to learn, explore and connect with is your authority. Your authority can feel like an inner knowing, physical response or maybe like an emotional wave etcetera and has the function of how we best take our decisions. There’s actually seven different authorities - seven different ways in which we make our decisions, yet we live like there’s one that goes for all; logical thinking. As humans we are not here to go with what the mind says, since the mind is like a databank gathering information out of past experiences and knowledge. Therefore you can never base your decisions according to what seems logic even not mental projectors, since their logic is individual and based on what they’ve picked up in all their open centers, not out of previous experiences. Note the difference. Your mind has a broader function, but it’s your authority that has the right answer to what is and what isn’t an aligned opportunity, dream or even more everyday things like dinner options, when to hang out with friends etcetera. When we base our decisions on what we think is right or expected of us, only do we not listen to our wisdom, in many cases some of you can’t according to your specific authority can’t take big decisions in the very moment. This is where it can get scary, and I get it. To take decisions out of a feeling or sense of what is right isn’t logic, because it just isn’t something we can predict like the mind would want. The solution? Build your trust muscle. How? Learn about your specific energy type, authority, and strategy. Explore and apply in your reality. This will help you get in tune with your body wisdom, and remember - relearning is all about exploring; like making mistakes. Your mistakes will actually help you learn how to make the right ones.

This isn’t a system that says that you’re never going to have anxiety again, never have any bad days or feel bad again; more so it is valuable knowledge that will help you understand where it comes from and why you feel or do the way you do so that you can start redirecting yourself into more aligned actions, with the understanding of your own design. Getting to know your design is like a map that will always guide you right back home, uncovering more authentic parts of yourself.

If you would like my experience and knowledge in this area I offer Human Design readings (please note that they’re only in Swedish) which are easy to understand and aesthetic if that's important to you as well as it’s for me. Together we explore your design, and I help you understand and embody the version of who you were born to be. You can find out more about me and my services at my instagram page @joysoul_.
