"For as long as I could remember, I'd had periods of tremendous productivity, followed by extremely frustrating and even disturbing periods of "inactivity."

During those "inactive" times, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't force myself to do any creative work.

I could never continuously sustain any creative momentum.

I was certain that there was something wrong with me, that this inability was something I had to “fix” or “heal.”

Then I learned about my Human Design ... and discovered that, as a Projector/Orchestrator, these cycles of enormous productivity (creation!) followed by inactivity (rest!) are a built-in part of how my energy system is designed.

And that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me, during those times when I couldn't be "productive."

Even more, that my rest times were a profound source of the energy and inspiration that fueled my creative periods, and made them far more productive and effective than most other people’s.

Human Design has also revealed the source of an uncomfortable experience I have with certain people (in all kinds of relationships): we have a delightful connection in many ways, but there’s a particular sense of mutual resonant attunement that I really enjoy, that always feels out of reach. 

It turns out, every one of these people have a "Single Definition"  Human Design energy system, which means they don't need other people to complete their "energy circuits.”

Mystery solved!

So, thanks to understanding our different Human Designs, I no longer fret about this sensation, or spend any attention or energy trying to create a greater sense of connection with them. I understand exactly what this uncomfortable sense of "distance" is and where it comes from: it's simply an artifact of their energy system. It has nothing at all to do with our relationship. It's just part of how their energy feels, to me.  

This saves me a lot of energy, and creates so much more ease and flow in those connections!

On the other hand, this also explain that lovely feeling of attuned resonance I get with certain other people: every single one of them completes my “Split Definition” energy circuits, and in most cases, I complete their splits, too!

These are just a few examples of Human Design has illuminated my understanding of myself and my relationships, and dramatically enhanced my ability to thrive."
