Purpose and Approach

Welcome to Human Design

Your Human Design chart maps your energy—how you’re designed to operate, connect, and make decisions. It combines ancient wisdom, such as the I Ching and astrology, with modern sciences like quantum physics and epigenetics, offering a unique blueprint for living in alignment.

Human Design centres explained

At the core, your chart shows:

  • Defined centres (Coloured) Defined centres are stable, consistent, and reliable. They generate energy or awareness that comes from within you. This is often experienced as an internal sense of knowing or feeling that is less influenced by the external environment or the people around you. These centres form the core aspects of your identity and the qualities you consistently express.

  • Undefined or open centres (white) are more fluid and receptive. They absorb, amplify, and sometimes reflect the energy, thoughts, and emotions of others. This openness creates areas of deep sensitivity, insight, and potential wisdom—but also areas where you are more susceptible to conditioning and feeling pressure to be what you are not.

    Each centre relates easiest to the main chakra and starting from the bottom of the chart are as follows.

    Centres & Their Corresponding Chakras

    Each centre in Human Design most easily relates to a primary chakra. Starting from the bottom of the chart, they are as follows:

    The Root Centre (Base Chakra) is associated with safety, security, survival instincts, and adrenaline. It functions as a pressure centre that drives action and momentum.

    The Sacral Centre (Sacral Chakra, Circulation Sex & Triple Warmer Meridians) governs vital life force, sexuality, creativity, and the capacity to sustain work. It functions as an energy centre that regulates hormonal balance, Chi energy, and reproductive vitality.

    The Splenic Centre (Spleen and Stomach Meridians) is linked to instinct, intuition, and the immune system. It provides moment-to-moment survival awareness and the sense of what is healthy or safe.

    The Solar Plexus Centre (Solar Plexus Chakra, Small Intestine Meridian) relates to emotions, feelings, and waves of mood. It functions as an awareness and motor centre that processes emotional energy.

    The G Centre (Major Heart Chakra) is the seat of self-love, self-esteem, identity, direction, and love. It acts as the magnetic centre guiding your sense of purpose and connection.

    The Will Centre (Minor Heart Chakra) represents ego, willpower, motivation, and material resources. It governs your drive to prove, achieve, and uphold commitments.

    The Throat Centre (Throat Chakra) is responsible for communication, expression, manifestation, and action. It functions as the primary centre translating energy into words, deeds, and frequency release.

    The Ajna Centre (Third Eye Chakra) supports mental processing, conceptualisation, analysis, and opinions. It is the centre for organising and structuring thoughts.

    The Head Centre (Crown Chakra) is connected to inspiration, mental pressure, and source consciousness. It generates questions, ideas, and higher inspiration.

Your chart is calculated from two moments:

  • Birth – your “nurture”: the environmental, sensory, and familial influences you grow up with. This is labelled your Personality the aqua colour on your chart

  • Approximately 3 months before birth – your “nature”: your deeper unconscious design. This is labelled the Design and is purplish on your chart.

Start Here: The First Essentials

Begin with these three keys:

  • Type – Your overall energy style (e.g., Generator, Projector). It sets the tone for how your energy flows best.

  • Strategy – Your natural way of engaging with life. Following this reduces resistance.

  • Authority – Your personal decision-making compass. It helps you make aligned choices beyond the mind.

These are the foundation. Mastering them shifts how you move through life, work, and relationships.


Understanding Your Centres

  • Defined centres are stable and reliable, where your energy is consistent.

  • Open centres are more fluid—they absorb energy and emotion from others. These are areas of deep sensitivity, wisdom, and potential conditioning.

Your chart shows what to lean into rather than something to “fix.” Understanding your openness helps you stop chasing what isn’t yours and reclaim your clarity.


Profiles & Channels

Your Profile adds important nuance to your design. It describes how you learn, relate, and grow. Think of it as your character’s role in the larger story of life—your personal archetype. Your Profile influences your learning style, the way you interact with others, how you approach challenges, and the role you are here to embody in the world.
Channels (the lines connecting centres) show the specific themes and energies that flow consistently through you.


Living the Experiment

Human Design isn’t just information—it’s a lived experience. The real transformation happens as you observe, reflect, and gently realign over time. Many practitioners refer to a seven-year cycle, echoing how our bodies regenerate and how change ripples through our nervous system, beliefs, and habits.


Gene Keys: Deepening the Journey

Where Human Design focuses on mechanics, the Gene Keys invite contemplation. Each Gene Key includes a Shadow, Gift, and Siddhi — helping you soften self-judgment and raise your frequency. They don’t tell you what to do, but how to shift your awareness.


Your Human Design Cheat sheet 

Your Human Design chart holds powerful clues about how your body and energy work best. These “cheat codes” help you avoid burnout, trust your intuition, and feel more like you, mainly when supported with kinesiology.

Profile Lines = Learning & Lifestyle
Each line in your Profile shows how you learn and move through life. Some thrive through trial-and-error, others through research, relationships, or rest. When you honour your natural rhythm, things start to feel easier.

Arrows = Digestion, Focus & Motivation
The four arrows at the top of your chart show how your body processes food, information, and pressure. They reveal your ideal environment, thinking style, and motivation. Knowing them helps you regulate your energy and reduce stress.

Senses = Intuition & Sensory Processing
Your dominant sense (taste, smell, sound, touch, or inner vision) is your compass. It shapes how you perceive truth, connect with others, and calm your system, which is especially helpful for those with sensory sensitivities.

Root Centre = Pressure & Burnout
Your Root Centre shows how you handle stress. If defined, you have steady pressure and thrive with challenges. If undefined, you can take on too much and burn out easily. Understanding this helps you pace yourself and stay grounded.

Sacral Energy = Hormones & Vitality
Generators and Manifesting Generators have strong life-force energy, but only when doing what they love. Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors don’t have this motor and need more rest and recovery to stay balanced.

You Are Not Fixed

Your chart is a blueprint, not a life sentence. Epigenetics shows that you can influence which parts of your potential are activated through the environment, awareness, and aligned choices. This is about self-remembering — not becoming someone else, but coming home to who you truly are.

The Kinesiology Advantage

In kinesiology, we don’t just look at what’s happening on the surface—we listen to the body’s wisdom. Using muscle testing and intuitive guidance, we can access the subconscious patterns stored in your energy field, nervous system, and cellular memory. This makes it the perfect modality for exploring your Human Design on a deeper, more embodied level.

Because here’s the truth: your Human Design chart isn’t just a set of interesting facts about you — it’s a living, breathing map of your potential.

This is where the magic happens.
When we combine kinesiology with Human Design, we’re not just analysing your chart — we’re clearing the energetic blocks that stop you from fully living it. That fear in your open centre? That stuckness around your Authority? That pressure you feel to be someone you’re not? We can gently shift, rewire, and support your body to integrate the change.

This is self-discovery at its most potent.
You’re not just
learning who you are — you’re becoming it.

Through this process, you reconnect with your innate gifts, release old programming, and move through life with clarity, ease, and alignment. Whether you're navigating emotional overwhelm, uncertainty around decision-making, or simply wanting to live a life that feels more you, this is where transformation begins.

You’re designed to thrive, and kinesiology is the bridge that helps you live your Human Design, not just understand it.
