You are listening to the mompreneur mindset podcast, a space where we empower you to build an aligned business. So you can spend less time on the things you think you should be doing in your business, and more time with the people you love. I am your host, Gianna Diggs, let’s get into it. 

Welcome back to the show. So today we are continuing the discussion around how to use human design in your business. So again, there are many ways that you can use him to design your business but we’re are just going to discuss your type your strategy and your authority. So in part one, we discussed the generator types. So if you haven’t listened, I would advise you to go check it out, especially if you are a generator or manifesting generator. And so part two, we’re going to talk about the non sacral types which are the projectors and manifestos and the reflectors. So I’m going to structure this episode by discussing your your typing your strategy first, and then I’ll go over the six authorities possible for the three types.

So let’s go ahead and kick it off with my projectors. So I don’t know if I mentioned this before but I am a projector as well. So I’m speaking from experience when I talk about the rejecters so projectors makeup 20% of the world population. And so you are known as the guide. And that’s because you have the capacity to see the big picture to recognize the talents and the gifts of others and also to bring people together. And so like I said, we’re discussing the non sacral types, which means that your sacral center is undefined and because the center is undefined, you tend to take in the sacral energy from the jet the generators and manifesting generators and amplify it I like to say like it fills it up like a balloon, and then do more than basically everyone else around you. And so the problem of course with that is that it’s not sustainable, and it causes burnout after a while. And so, because of all of that, because you don’t have that sustainable workforce energy. You’re not here to work a 10 hour workday for example, right? Even the nine to five, eight hour workday is not necessarily meant for you. You know, you’re you’re here mainly to work about three to four hours a day, of course that is based off of how you feel sometimes I can go five hours but I don’t do that too often. But it’s really your capacity, your work capacity, right only you know what that is and the main reason for that is again, because you don’t have that same energy, that same access to like lifeforce energy as the generator types. So now let’s talk about the strategy which is wait for recognition and invitation. So some people say as a projector, I definitely agree that this is kind of the hardest strategy to take into digest and actually implement. And it’s because you’re designed to wait for others to recognize requests and empower your special skills. And the invitations offer to you that they’re they offer you access to others initiating and generating energy resources. And this is how your genius is empowered. And so I want to mention that it’s very important for you to be selective about what invitations you actually accept. And just because someone invites you into something whether that they invite you into a program they invite you to coach them, you know, to be coached for you to coach them or for someone to coach you, right? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you should accept them. You know, your authority will guide you to the right energy exchange. And so I want to mention that of course waiting for invitation. It’s mainly for like major invitations. So that’s like you know, relationships whether it is a platonic you know, friendship or it is to be married or be in a relationship boyfriend or girlfriend with someone. Love Of course, career and business and moving great moving across the country or, you know, to another part of the world. And so for small invitations, you don’t necessarily need to, you know, have a cordial or formal or a personally addressed invitation like I invite you to, like that will be an example of a person in your dress. Invitation or formal. But you do need to feel energetically invited. So now

let’s talk about what that means for your business. So it looks like being what we call the lighthouse. And so think about what a lighthouse represents. It’s at the shore, right? Looking out at sea. It has a light that goes in a circle, and it’s basically hoping the ships and the boats to not run into land. So using that metaphor, as a person, you are basically allowing others to come to you instead. Of the other way around. And so you’re standing still, and you’re sharing the things that light you up, you’re sharing the things that you love. You know, if you’re very passionate about weight loss, right, you’re sharing how you lost weight, and why you love certain supplements and why you don’t think diets work or whatever, lights you up, and you’re allowing for people to find you instead of you going out and looking for people. And so social media, especially was made for projectors, because again, it allows you to shine your light so bright, that the people that need Your help will will find you eventually. And so it also looks like and I mentioned this a little earlier. It looks like working, you know three to four hours, even five hours like I said in your business instead of like a 10 hour workday. Right. And and then after you have sat down did your work you go about your business and do exactly whatever lights you up. So taking a nap. Perfect. Go do that. You want to go on Netflix or Hulu ambigious binge, your favorite show. Go and do that right? Do whatever brings you enjoyment right? Take the day to enjoy whatever your leisure whatever lights you up, but not sitting in working all day, right? Three to four hours. So that also looks like learning and mastering things that you know you wish to guide others on. So I don’t know about you. But when I learned something that really interests me, like like human design, I tend to kind of obsess about it. Right? I want to learn everything there is to learn so I’ll go out and buy all the books. I’ll research for hours. I’ll look it up on social media, right? I want to know as much information about this particular topic. And I think it’s because because we’re here to guide we master what we guide people on and so in mastering that right because we love it so much. We have to learn we have to learn all the different things that go along with it. And so that is really good for us as projected because it helps us be better guides. And lastly, being a projector in your business, it would look like consistently paying attention to the invitations that you want to get invited into. So let’s say that you know, you you’re thinking about 2022 Right? I just did a training on this. You’re thinking about next year and you are like okay, I know my business. I want to implement a mastermind and I want to start a group coaching program and I want to limit my one on ones right and you’re thinking about all these invitations. So you write them down, write, write down everything that you want. And then you think about the pathways that you can create to get there. So what I mean by these pathways is that being waiting for invitation and recognition doesn’t have to be passive. That’s why they say social media works for projectors. Because if I sat around and I’ve done this honest, you know, not being consistent with sharing the things that that I love. And when I sit around and do nothing, I personally have felt like the invitations haven’t came to me and that’s why I said it’s always a struggle because you start to feel bitterness, which is the not self theme because you’re wondering why like why am I not getting clients? And it’s because I’m looking at this waiting for invitation thing as passive. We’re gonna sit here and do nothing, but it doesn’t have to be passive. It literally is. Let me just not give unsolicited advice. Let me just not try to go out here and get whatever clients by sending DMS and doing all these things that don’t necessarily energetically align with being a projector. And let me just share the things like the podcasts that really sit in my chest in my heart that I really want to share and allowing for people to come to me, right so I know, going back to the mastermind example because that is something that I want to do. A pathway to it is sharing how I want to do a mastermind but also what is the mastermind about and really sitting there and creating the content that speaks to what will happen in this program. Right? And just being present in that way. And I’m creating that pathway because, you know, someone will sit there and they may pay attention to the content and say, Whoa, wow, you know, is there a program coming from this? I would love to learn more about it. And I can say well, yeah, I would love to do a mastermind I just, you know, need others to come in and then we can make it happen. Just an example. You know, or maybe you write down it you know you want five new clients next month. It’s the same thing. It’s really you just sharing your light. And you using the invitation that you have to share this information, whether it’s on social media, whether it’s former clients that you still have a relationship with, and telling people about this new program. That you really want to do, and allowing for people to say yes, I would love to be a part of this. And that gives you the invitation to do it because it’s now create that pathway to actually make it happen.

All right, so now let’s move on to Manchester’s so, so manifested make up about 9% of the world population, right and they have a direct defined channel from the throat center to one or more of the motor centers. Now a motor center just so your reference is the heart center or ego center, the emotional solar plexus, the sacral and the root center, those are the four motor centers, they give a little bit of off to the energy that it carries, right. And so, again, you have that undefined sacral center so you’re not able to work in a sustainable fashion just like the generator types. So that you know, working that 10 hour day again, not really something you should be doing. But you have the energy to start things unlike the most of us who have to wait for an opportunity to come or invitation. Right and so your gifts are your ability to act independently to initiate action and to impact others. So now your strategy is to inform. So you know, because you’re able to act independently initiate action and impact others like because that’s, that’s your gift. It can also be a curse. And the reason why is because you can be perceived as threatening or unpredictable, right because it can make the other three types feel really uncomfortable. And it can often lead to like their attempts to control you which in turn will make you feel angry, which is the not self thing for manifesting. So informing really, is the strategies to help you find that freedom from resistance that you need in order to properly manifest. So informing comes after you’ve made a decision but before you act on a decision, right? And it also comes up when you decide to not do something anymore to right then you still have to inform people that you’re no longer gonna do it. So for example, if you just decided that you want to start a programming and you give them information and people start signing up, and then you realize that maybe it’s not something you want to do. You also have to of course inform people before you actually shut the program down. Maybe no one’s actually signed up yet people are anticipating it. You actually inform them that hey, this program is actually not going to happen. So in informing before acting, it’s really about preparing people for how they might be affected by your actions, right, how they’re going to be affected by your decision.

So what does that look like in business as a manifestor so similar to the projectors, right? That looks like not working long hours, like I said before, right? That looks like I’ve actually not seen the hour limit like I’ve seen for projectors. I’ve often manifested I know, they say about like four to five hours feels good to them. So I would say because I can’t give you a timeframe. Experiment with it. You know, Human Design is an experiment, experiment with how your capacity, your work capacity. So maybe you start like a projector at three hours. And you say, Hey, I could do more. Then maybe you go to four can do more. Maybe you hit five. You’re like yeah, I’m starting to hit my max maybe I can try six and then six is your max right? So it’s really um, experimenting to find your your work, you know, our capacity. And also, you know, being a manifesting business looks like creating offers and content that speaks to your vision for how you want to serve your audience, and where you can plan to go in the future. So, you know, if you have a program that you want, like, that you want to bring to form, right, it’s letting your audience know that and telling them okay, it’s coming on this date, here’s how you can purchase and so also, you know, utilizing your strategy of informing right it let your audience know what is going on in your business so you can share your behind the scenes content, right, you can offer sneak peeks into some of your new projects that can really just share the things that’s going on on the inside of your business so that you’re informing your audience, all the things that’s happening.

So now I’m going to move on to my reflectors. And so reflectors you are the unicorns of the bunch, right you’re their various types, you make up only about 1% of the world population, and you actually have no defined center. So you know, reflect your chart when you see it because every single one of the nine centers are all white, right? That means they are completely open. You’re only definition is the dates that the planets are defining. And so because your design is completely open, you are experiencing the environment around you and taking in the energy of others and reflecting it back. Right. And so a happy environment is really the key to just live in a happy and exciting life. And so, your strategy is to wait a full lunar cycle. And so the moon travels through all 64 gates in about 28 days. So tracking the moon it’s going to help you understand that. Not understand your energy because there are three types of channels so of course you’ll see like a certain channel and then they they’ll either be a manifesting projecting or generating channel and of course these things are what kind of helps you to get these things are these channels are named based off of your types right manifesting channels. manifester projecting channels projector generating channels generator, you get the gist. So basically, you know your experience what it feels like to be the other types on a daily basis. So it will help you to really know the highs and the lows of your energy on a daily basis. And so journaling especially, and not just in your business but in life in general journaling your experience on a daily basis. You know, journaling about what gate the moon is in and you can definitely still find these online if you have genetic matrix. I mean I can link this in the shownotes they actually provide you a like a calendar. I’m on the paid plan which is like $9.25 a month. I’m not sure if the free one gives you calendars but if you are reflecting you really want to you know not have to search where to find where the moon is going to be at. Again, they provide like they provide calendars, and you can look to see which you know what gate the sun is in the earth is all the different planets. And then you can also click to say the lunar cycle and it’ll tell you based off of your chart, what’s being activated for you, right where the moon is, what type of channel it is, what kind of energy is going to give you. So that’s really helpful. And again, journaling on that daily is going to help you to know how you feel right? And will help you to know like how you’re experiencing the different energies throughout the day.

And what does being what does that look like in your business? So, being in an environment that feels good to you is really important, right? Look at your most likely setup of where you’re working, right? Is it what you want? Like where’s your desk? Where are you doing your work if you’re working from home, even if you’re at at work where are you located in your office? Right and how can you create an environment that allows you to be in flow and in peace while enjoying the things that you that leave you excited and and surprised by life. And so another tip is just honoring your energy. So one day, you will feel like you can do it all right, that’s that generating great energy. And other days your energy may be non existent. That could come from a projecting you know, channel maybe the moon’s gonna projecting channel that day. So give yourself grace to really put work down and do nothing, right tracking the moment in which gate is going to be it’s going to help you to know when his energy might occur. And so understanding that you know, your business is going to look different from everyone else’s right? Because you are the unicorn of the bunch, you know of us all. And the way you take energy is going to be different from how the others other types take in energy, even with all your centers being open, something that I learned about reflectors, because I haven’t came across that many, you know, because 1% of the population, but something that I’ve learned is that because your centers are all open, you don’t you know, subscribe Doesn’t your conditioning is not the same as my conditioning for example, right? Because you’re constantly you’re constantly taking an energy and reflecting it back on other people. So knowing that it’s going to be reflected in your business.

And so now that we’ve gone through the types and the strategies, let’s move on to the authorities are seven authorities total right cluding the sacral authorities and so five of them are for projectors and or manifester, right. And then one authority is going to be the lunar authority which is only for reflector. So that’s what we’re going to go through because we already did the sacral when we talked about generator so if you want to know more about that again, check out part one of this series. So starting with my emotional authorities, so as a refresher from last week’s episode, as an emotional authority, you’re going to experience you know emotional waves that need to calm before you make a decision. And so a good mantra that you want to keep in mind is that there is no truth in the now. And so, it’s best to avoid making decisions from an emotionally charged high. So that’s like being excitement, warmth Glee, right? Or a low so that’s doubt, uncertainty, fear, right? Making decisions from either the high court or the low point of your wave as it can really create chaos in your life. Because you want to experience what’s called neutral confidence from making decision when making decision so you don’t want to be like super excited about something you don’t want to be like depressed about it. You want to really be what’s in a neutral space when you make a decision.

And so of course, these are all experienced differently based off your type because it’s for generators, projectors a manifester, as we already talked about Jen, how generators experiences so let’s talk about how experience as an emotional three, and I am emotional authority. So this is I’m speaking from experience. And so because you have to wait for invitations, as an emotional authority, you have a tendency to jump at the first invitation that you receive. And so unfortunately, what can appear to be something that feels great, right, like, Oh, that’s a good invitation. Right? When you are in the high of your emotional wave, it can actually turn to be like a horrible commitment or decision when you are low in your wave. And so this is why it’s really good for you to kind of wait, maybe discuss it journal, meditate, right? kind of sit with it when again, and meditate, discuss it journal on it again, right? And it’s because waiting by waiting, when are you going to get the clarity that you need? And you may also receive an even better invitation because you’ve gone through that process. And so, you need if you know, if there’s a decision that you need to make, right, you can just simply request a day or two to think it over so that you can again go move through your wave to see if it’s the best invitation for you to take.

So now my manifestors is that our emotional authorities it’s important that you observe your emotional wave and inform as you prepare to act. So as an emotionally defined manifester. If you don’t wait, right, if you don’t wait out your emotional wave you can be perceived as reactive or impulsive. So the timing of your actions is very important in order for you to not be met with resistance from others and also waiting out your emotional wave. It allows you need to determine by who’s going to be impacted by the decision that you’re about to meet.

So now, let’s move on. I still want to my splenic authorities and so only projected manifested can be explaining authorities. And this is when your spleen extender is defined. And of course your sacral or your solar plexus there. It has no definition. So that’s what makes you unique authority and it can be experienced as an instantaneous recognition with something or someone and an inner knowing as to whether it is healthy for you or not. And it will alert you to which environment direction people opportunities are safe for you to engage in and which ones aren’t. So this of course is experienced differently by different people. You know, it’s really a an intuitive, I think it’s an intuitive hit. Um, and so it can be experienced, you know, you only you know how you experience it. But from what I’ve seen and heard and talk to other spring authorities, it can generally be experienced as a subtle, yes. Right then followed by a rush of fear or adrenaline. And because energy is for basic survival, the answer can come and go in an instant. And you will know instinctively if something is correct and safe for you in the moment. And I want to mention that it’s not going to repeat itself. It’s going to be a yes and then it’s going to go away. So you have to act because it’s in the moment.

And so I want to note something for specifically for manifesting that the action and initiating have a manifested with explaining authority flows out instinctively and naturally in the moment. So it’s important for you to really be in tune with your body as clinical authorities because you know, you may have to inform about something when you only have like an inkling of the impact that that immediate decision or action is going to have.

And so now moving on to my heart center or ego authorities, and again, this is only for projectors and manifestos. And so this authority is going to come from definition from the heart center or ego center that is going to connect to the identity center for projectors and the throat center for manifesting.

For projectors, this is called the ego projected authority. And again, this is a this is a rare form for a projector. And it’s because I your authority is going to come from the heart center or the ego connecting to the G center through the channel of initiation. And so because the heart center is a motor, you will either have the energy to do something or you won’t, right. And so when making a decision, be selfish and actually self what do I want and or what is in it for me.

And so if your ego or ego authority, right for a manifester, it’s called ego manifests in authority, and that comes from your heart center, connecting to your throat center through the channel of money. And so essentially authorities expressed to the throat center verbally is important for you to listen to what you say, in order to know your truth rather than what your mind is saying. So you’re informing as a manifester needs to be verbalized in the moment. And so the key for you is going to be to surrender to the truth of your voice.

And so now moving on to the self projected projectors, right and this is a projector only authority. And your authority comes from your G center connecting to the throat center to one of the four channels and of course no overriding energy such as your spleen, or your solar plexus. So the key with this authority is to listen to what you say. So you need to hear yourself talking to other people and see their reaction to not whether it’s correct for you or not. And so now moving on to my environmental or mental authority, and so you have no definition below the throat center. And so your authority comes from either the Ajna center connecting to the head center, the Ajna Center connected to the throat center, or the head, Ajna and throat centers all connected to each other and you tap into your environment and you read its energies through all of your undefined centers. So your surrounding can have an influence on your decisions, your decision making process. So it’s very important for you to get a sense of how the environment is affecting you. And you also have to talk to other people to get clarity about which invitation Are you allowed.

Last but not least, we have my Luna authorities which again is a reflector only authority. And so with you having no defined standards you it’s more of a personal authority, right it’s established by the cycle of the of the it connects you with the so with no defined centers your personal authority is established by the way you connect to the lunar cycle. So before making an important decision, you need to spend time so before you make an important decision you need to spend at least one lunar cycle contemplating and discussing the issue. Right. So as I said before, your environment is very important as you mirror it. So having trustworthy people around you to act as a sounding board is essential to discuss any potential decisions, right like this is really important because as you hear yourself, talk, talk, I can’t talk today. So having trustworthy people around you to act as a sounding board to discuss any decision that you need to make is important. Because as you hear yourself talk over as you hear yourself talk over time. You will just intuitively, intuitively, for having transported the people around you to act as a sounding board to discuss any potential decisions you need to make is very important. Because as you hear yourself talk over time, you will just intuitively arrive at the decision that you need to make.

So what does that look like in your business? How can you use your authority in your business? So for my emotional authorities, it’s really understanding your emotional wave. You can journal you can meditate. Now I want to give you an example as an emotional authority. I don’t know if I mentioned that either. So when I first learned how to use him to design with clients, and I decided that I wanted to do readings but I wanted to do specialized reading so you know if you want to know your purpose, I have my perfect soul print reading. If you want to know how to align your business to human design, I have my business alignment reading. So when I first decided to do it, I wanted to test it for free. I want to beta test it. So I went into my coaching Facebook group, and I posted that this is what I was doing. I would just need three to five people to test this for me. I posted it overnight, they have to approve the post. So when I woke up in the morning, I had so many comments of people who was like, This is what I need right now. I would love to be a part of this. And I just felt so happy. I felt like wow, this must be a really great offer because so many people want it I was just so excited. So I started commenting. Oh here’s my link to book here’s my link to book remember I said I wanted only three to five people. In the end I ended up doing 17 Now what’s the problem with me not understanding my emotional wave at this point. Um, it once I started seeing the bookings and I seen that I had so many and I realized oh, I shouldn’t open up my schedule more than it already was opened. I opened up my schedule even more to be able to get these readings done. And I had like, a few back to back I had three in one day. Once I looked at that I instantly felt dread. I was just like, what did I get myself into? I was like, Well, I’m telling people to honor their emotional weight and I didn’t honor mine. And so I realized that yeah, I could have took on more than three or five, three to five readings, but I should have opened up my schedule. And I should have had days in between so I can rest and literally it took me I did it in three weeks. And once it was done. I didn’t do anything for a couple of weeks. And it was because I just mentally, physically, you know, even emotionally, mentally could not do it. And it’s because I didn’t honor my emotional way. So that’s just an example for my emotional authority. And so for my splenic authority, you know, really knowing and trusting your body and staying present and in tune with what it’s telling you because your body is going to give you that intuitive hit that you need when you need to make a decision even about your business, right? If you you know, want to take on a new client that you’re not too sure about your body’s going to tell you if you should take on that client or not. If if you are feeling like you want to implement something in your business, your body’s going to tell you whether it’s a good decision not in it’s the moment that you are trying to make that decision. Do I want to create this program? Right? Am I ready to create this program? You know, in you really knowing and learning what that feels like is going to be key for you to really hone in on how to make that decision for my ego authorities, you know because as your heart centers defined, you can maybe have a you are you tend to overwork yourself, right because your heart center is defined. And so having cycles of work and rest is really going to keep your heart center healthy and it’s going to help you to really avoid burnout. Yes, myself projected authorities. So having a group of people, whether it’s family or friends and if you feel like your family and friends don’t understand what you’re doing your business. Maybe it’s a group of people who are also in your niche who you trust who you’ve connected with whether it’s through a Facebook group or in your you’re all in the same program together. I using those people around you to kind of talk about your decisions with my mental authorities. I would say the same advice for you as well. But I would also add to really pay attention to your environment and the people that you are around. If you realize that if you’re working from home and you’re realizing that being at home and maybe your kids are at home with you and you know maybe your spouse is working from home as well maybe you have your in laws live with you. You just all this energy around you is not helping you to be productive finding other ways. You know, maybe you have a coffee house that’s open that’s allowing for people to come in because you know we are so in the pandemic but they’re allowing for people to come in and you know, work there right maybe trying that and seeing if that helps. Your environment to be more productive.
