Connecting to Your True Self with the Human Design System Episode Transcript

00:00 - Nachi (Host)

you know, especially like with a manifesting generator like myself, if we're not careful in terms of not being spontaneous, you know we have to stop and think about our Welcome to another episode of I'm Not Yelling' I'm Dominican, podcast hosted by Nachi and Damaris. Hey, fam, it's your girl, nachi, and I'm here with Damaris, your favorite spiritual chopper, ready to spray whenever necessary. Ooh, always ready. I know that's right Ready to spray.

00:49 - Damaris (Host)

Grab the chopper, gotta say strap.

00:55 - Nachi (Host)

Well, we're going to get into a really fun topic. I think this is one of my favorite topics and I'm really excited that we're going to talk about it, and this is on human design. I don't know how many of you have heard of human design, or you have.

01:15 - Damaris (Host)

But our Lisa IG followers were very interested. This was the number one topic that they said they wanted to.

01:23 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, yeah, and they probably are a bit like us where it's like, yeah, we're really interested. But it was a little confusing at first and we decided to do some further research and dig in a little bit on our own specific types. So we're going to talk about what is human design and how to apply this to everyday life.

01:52 - Damaris (Host)

And we're going to preface this with.

01:53

we're not experts, we're learning along with you guys, but we thought it'd be fun to kind of share what we've dug up and also share our designs and type and kind of like how it's worked out for us and how we've used it personally, but then also share what we found on the different types of of design types that are out there and where you might fall into them, and and also share any resources that can help you guys figure that out.

02:25

So I think that what I found in multiple articles and resources that we tapped into ultimately the human design system.

02:42

At a basic level, it helps us understand how we are designed to engage in the world.

02:52

So it helps you to figure out the patterns that may not align with you and the patterns that do and to leverage those things that are pretty much innate in us. And how do you apply that to ensure that you're living in the best alignment possible and not susceptible to the conditioning of society or other external factors like family and all this other good stuff that tend to influence a lot of how we shape our lives. And then, when we're out of alignment, you will see that you're out of alignment based on your human type, and there there's certain things that will indicate when you are out of alignment and when you are in alignment. So it's. I find this topic to be really fascinating because, unlike astrology so I enjoy astrology, but I don't understand it unless I have guidance with it. Meaning, if I have a natal chart done for me, I need someone to read it for me to be able to help me interpret what it is why I should care about the alignment of these planets in this house of my astrological chart.

04:07 - Nachi (Host)

Like I have no idea, Right and it's always within a certain timeframe. It's not Right, right. So you always have to be in connection with someone who specializes in reading natal charts and understanding those placements of planets.

04:26 - Damaris (Host)

Yeah, exactly, and so I find that the human design system is a little bit easier to interpret and also to consume and absorb and be able to apply the information you learn towards how you make decisions in life. And so it is not.

04:46 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, even on a basic level. I find that with the human design that you can start experimenting with it, with just knowing basic information of human design so you can work on it as you're learning and, you know, getting more familiarized with the content.

05:12 - Damaris (Host)

Right. So human design this system. It's not a belief system, so it's not like you know you could keep your believees and your religions.

05:22

You know, don't worry, this is not some sort of religion or some sort of cult following. It is really just it's. It's a combination of being scientific and spiritual in nature and you'll find that in multiple articles you read about what the influences within the human design system I think provides. It's helpful in providing a roadmap about that that indicates how we're not all built the same. So the this system really helps in helping you kind of navigate life in the way that's going to help you flow the best. So when people say, go with the flow, you know, go with what the universe is giving you, it's because whenever you come upon resistance, it usually indicates that there's something not in alignment or this thing is not right for you. So when you keep hitting against resistance, that is usually an indicator to stop.

06:24

But many of us don't because we're told no. For example, you're supposed to do this in school and behave this way and get these type of grades. But guess what? Not everybody learns the same way. Not everyone consumes information the same way. So someone who has a different way of taking on information may not likely do well in the typical traditional school setting. And then what does that do to that person? It demoralizes them over time.

06:54

You keep being told that you're dumb or you're stupid when you're actually not. This just doesn't work for you. This is just an example of what I'm trying to indicate, of how the human design system works, in that helping you understand what it is that's going to help you flow easier in life and help you get closer to whatever your purpose is, because you're not fighting whatever it is that's around you. So, like I said, it's not the same for everyone. It's because it's taking in multiple factors that are personal to you. So, again, we're conditioned to be the same in the society and you have to do this. You have to go to school and you have to go to college, and from college then you get your job and you work in some corporate office as a you know, some cog in the machine and you know how that goes.

07:50

But it's this system is intended to be kind of like this is your, it's your energetic signature and your genetic expression kind of manifesting itself, expression kind of manifesting itself. So I look at it as a tool that can assist in my self-actualization and that's how you can view it. It's just a tool, right, it's not intended to be something of I have to live this way and follow this. No, it's just a tool to help you get to where it is you need to get to. It's funny because as I came across certain articles they talked, two articles at least mentioned how it's similar to Myers-Briggs and Strength Finders and those are those. Are these exercises that help you identify what it is you're good at and kind of like help you identify your personality type thing? But human design is something similar to that. But it also helps you not just identify like the conscious stuff that you know of, like your personality, but that unconscious stuff that actually helps influence part of your personality and your design.

09:07

So human design system uses your birth data to calculate your design chart, or what some sites might call the body graph, which can be a little. When you look at it it can look a little overwhelming, but again, it's. You know you have to. What we're going to walk through today are just the basics that you can get from a site and you can. You can figure out what your type is and this basic information and start to experiment with that little bit of information to see okay, I see how this aligns with me, and then you could probably get into a more in-depth body graph if you kind of like how this is going for you. So I would say, yeah, the body graph is kind of similar to like an astrological birth chart, right, nachi?

10:00 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, yeah, because it's basing it off of your birth date and the time that you were born and location, right, so that's just like your natal chart. It uses that type of information to gather what your type is.

10:47 - Damaris (Host)

Yeah, and the body graph is. Usually it's depicted in some sort of graphic illustration and it's made me more aware of oh, this is why I do these things. I I've come to the conclusion because I live intuitively, meaning I follow my gut more than, especially over the years. I tend to follow my gut more than what I think I should do, more than just, you know, being overly analytical and taking in all the information from the outside. I just listen to myself on the inside, and so I think for me it's personally helped me. In that sense I do want to give folks some of the origin and development of human design, the background to it. So this was originated by a man named Alan Robert Krakauer, who he published a book called the Human Design System under the pseudonym Ra-Uru-Hu okay, in 1992. And it was inspired by an experience that he had in 1987. So it's relatively new compared to other systems, but it does synthesize and it's rooted in a few different type of ancient texts and religions, et cetera. So, like the I Ching, which is the ancient divination tool, from classic Chinese texts, which is called the book of changes, classic Chinese text which is called the book of changes, and then some from Kabbalah, and definitely quantum physics is in there. So when they talk about that, this is a combination of scientific and spiritual in nature. There are things in there that are influenced from physics, that influence the design system and definitely roots in astrology and chakras, because when we talk about gates and when you see the body graph, you'll see how some of those things align with chakras and the Western astrological system that most of us are familiar with. So that's important to know, right. And I think, before we dive into again the different types, it's important to know that there's certain key components of this system. One is the energy type. You're a manifesting generator and I'm a manifester. So today we're going to talk about the energy types and certain aspects of those energy types that are important to know from the start, to get a sense of, okay, this is how I should move about on this planet. And then, obviously, if you do the more in-depth body graph, you'll start to see things that really truly apply to you on a much more individual level.

13:48

So for the purpose of this conversation, we're going to be talking about these four energy types, which is the basis, the foundation of the human design. The first and largest group is going to be the generators, and they make up about 70% of the population. A subset of the generators is a group called manifesting generators, which Nachi falls into that. Then you have projectors, which make up 20% of the population, and then manifestors, which make up 9% of the population, and their reflectors make up the 1%, and every human being falls into one of these groups. So we'll cover like the four at a high level of. Okay, here's the type of. Here are the things that you need to consider for each of these types. For me, a lot of. What the information? Because I'm going to be like a news anchor from back in the days, you know, when they had, like, the paperwork.

14:50 - Nachi (Host)

I have notes, guys, I have notes.

14:54 - Damaris (Host)

Yes, and so the resources that I use for this was. One was the jovianarchivescom, and they have this great free ebook that is called Discover your Design Guide and that helped walk through at a high level the types, the strengths and the strategy that each type has to go about to be in alignment. And then there's myhumandesigncom. She actually has a great app of how she synthesizes all of this information. I think the portion of the body graph isn't as clear, but the content of who you're meant to be, your profiles, what the different numbers mean. That app is a good resource for that. So how do you get started with this? Again, you just need pieces of information that you likely all have, which is your place of birth, your, your date of birth and your time of birth. Time of birth usually can be found on your birth certificate, so all that information is all that you need.

16:05

Yeah, so let's get into the different types, and I think we should start with. I'm going to start with with because in the ebook the jovian archive ebook they have the first one they have is manifestor, so I'm a manifestor, so I'm a manifestor, and again, this is 9% of the population, and in one of the videos that I watched in particular, cause this was on the Jovian archive site. So this is the website that is, that was created by the estate of the founder of the human design system. He said that the greatest danger for a manifestor is to be conditioned by generators. I was like okay, so, nachi, don't be trying to condition me, thank you no one's trying to condition you.

17:03

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

17:05

So what's interesting is that, with manifestors, we have the ability to start off projects and act independently, and this is this is how we tend to be self-reliant, and that's part of the whole.

17:30

They initiate things and so they don't really necessarily need others to make things happen. They kick off things and then people come on board, and then people come on board. But one of the things that manifestors have to do is the strategy for a manifestor is to inform, meaning that I don't go about in life as a manifestor to ask for permission to do things. When I say inform, it's telling you that I'm going to do this before it happens, so that you're aware and you're not thrown off by what I just did, and that is how I gain the trust of others that are meant to help me along the way. Some of the issues that manifestors can get into is the fact that, if they move without informing, it can come off as, um, yeah, like startling for people who aren't used to that, aren't used to people who are self-reliant, and they may feel, you know, I guess some of y'all can't handle that.

18:42 - Nachi (Host)

Let me stop, well, you know what. I found funny. Well, it was interesting because I said damn, this ain't the marriage. When I was reading here, they talked about manifestors. They are not designed to continually work and I said what Come on?

19:03 - Damaris (Host)

now, come on now. I said what? Come on now, come on now. I said that is hilarious, I cannot work like a donkey.

19:08 - Nachi (Host)

They want a peaceful life.

19:11 - Damaris (Host)

And I was cracking up.

19:13 - Nachi (Host)

I was like if this isn't the marriage. And the funny thing is, generators are doers, and so I laugh, because you're always calling, you're always talking about oh, it's working like a donkey, right? You're always talking about me, right? Right, talking about you working like a donkey, yes, and I'm like I'm not working like a donkey, I'm just doing stuff.

19:38 - Damaris (Host)

Right, right, and I don't. I don't understand that because that's not in my DNA.

19:43 - Nachi (Host)

Right, and I don't understand why you think I'm working like a doggy. I'm like I'm not working like a doggy. What are you talking about?

19:50 - Damaris (Host)

Yes, yes. And the other thing is too, they say, for the manifestor. They say the manifestor has a powerful aura that can feel rather dense and closed off, keeping others at a distance. It acts as a barrier to the outside world to protect manifestors independence and the need to be self-contained. Now, if that ain't me about beings, self-contained is another word for is another way of explaining that I need my freedom.

20:20 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, and.

20:20 - Damaris (Host)

I this perfectly explains why I recently moved out of New York City, a place that I've lived 40 plus years of my life.

20:32 - Nachi (Host)

But let me tell you, demaris, if you had probably asked them, maybe even five years ago, would you have moved out of New York? It would have been like hell, no Hell no.

20:48 - Damaris (Host)

But here's the thing with New York City I cannot. I love that city. That city nurtured me right. It made me part of who I am today and I will always love that city, but I will love it as a tourist and not as a resident. That place is too restrictive for me. Like in the last you know, ever since the global health slash mental meltdown of 2020, I couldn't live. I no longer was in alignment with that place vibrationally. I started to notice that vibrationally. New York city and I, that love affair, was ending and a lot of it had to do with it's suffocating and restricting, restrictive culture. That just doesn't align with me and my need to be free and my need for peace. Manifestors need peace, so they talk about with manifestors. My not self is is anger, so that that's a, that's a manifest, is not self. Not self means that when you're not in alignment, you're likely angry and you need to address, like, what's the root of the cause of your anger?

22:12 - Nachi (Host)

And that would be, your sign.

22:14 - Damaris (Host)

That would be your sign, right that you're off track, because the sign that you're on track is that is peace for manifestors. I desire peace. New York city stopped giving me peace in the last four years. It was so guess what? Damaris extricates herself I. I disengage. I don't need to be here Now. I have freedom to move about the cabin. You know what I mean? Like I have views and I'm at peace. I love that city. Nobody talks shit about that city.

22:57 - Nachi (Host)

Watch your mouth.

22:59 - Damaris (Host)

But this wasn't for me anymore, and part of it is this my need for independence and freedom was lacking in that environment. So and again, so when you're living out of, when you're not living to your true nature as a manifester, you're dealing with anger, and that's not a good place to be. And then, well, I just, I seek peace, I seek peace.

23:27 - Nachi (Host)

I seek. That is very you. That is very you. I see, I know it.

23:32 - Damaris (Host)

I know. I know the other thing too. The whole idea of my strategy moving, my strategy as a manifestor is to inform, to get less resistance from people is interesting because I think about how I launched the podcast and I did not inform people right away as we were planning it. I didn't inform people. I informed people a couple of weeks before I did it so that no one's surprised like, oh my God, what's this thing?

24:03 - Nachi (Host)

you're doing. You didn't say anything to me, right?

24:07 - Damaris (Host)

Guess what, it's coming in two weeks. So you still got informed.

24:10 - Nachi (Host)

Right.

24:11 - Damaris (Host)

And part of that was not telling people early on, because I didn't need any influence to stop me from launching the podcast, cause I knew intuitively that is what I needed to do the podcast because I knew intuitively that is what I needed to do. Right, right, right. So that is just something about what's important there.

24:30 - Nachi (Host)

Manifestors are initiators, they take action.

24:34 - Damaris (Host)

Yeah, I was like oh my God, they're there to impact others, exactly, and again, while my niece was the one who put me onto my human design, probably in 2021. Even when I was like, I didn't really look into it that much. So I'm again. I'm doing things naturally, because I I'm just doing things that tends to give me the least resistance, meaning I'm going with the flow that feels right. I don't really have a specific plan. So that was just one of the things, and it was also. It's also funny to read that with manifestors, your energy, your aura can be off-putting, and that is because you're we're very self-reliant, right, right, and so some people may be. Again, this is why it's important for me to inform. So people are not so, I guess, taken aback of like, oh, you're doing this, wow, you did that already.

25:30 - Nachi (Host)

You know it's like calm down. You didn't involve me. Why the fuck would I involve you?

25:34 - Damaris (Host)

Yeah, yeah, but at least if I inform you, you're like oh okay, I knew she was doing this, even though she doesn't need my help. Yeah, yeah, not saying that I don't want people's help. No, guys, help me out, help me, help me. But I'm just saying and help you, right. But it makes me think about, and when I like my trip to Japan, when I went with my two friends and in preparation for the trip, I knew that I didn't just want to go to Tokyo, I was going to spend a few days in Kyoto, whether or not these people wanted to go with me. So I put my itinerary together.

26:10

I said girls, I'm doing these for three days. This is my itinerary. If you want to join me, let me know. If not, cool beans. Like I'm doing these for three days. This is my itinerary. If you want to join me, let me know. If not, cool beans, I'm good. And so I was thinking back to that and it made sense. I'm like oh yeah, I'm very reliant. I don't necessarily always need to do things with others, and part of sometimes they said manifestors, energy can be closed off, but it's just a way to also protect them right, and so, yeah, you know that's always other, yeah, no, but it's always good to know about other types, right?

26:55

yes, yes, because they know how to engage right.

26:58 - Nachi (Host)

For that very reason, yeah, and so, yeah, so.

27:02 - Damaris (Host)

So that was interesting. Okay, so let's move on to the next one. This would be the type generator slash manifesting generator. They make up 70 of the population. Their strategy is to respond. Matchy, do you want to take this one on, since this is your thing?

27:19 - Nachi (Host)

Yes, yes. So some of the biggest takeaway from being Generate is that we're builders. Right, we're designed to be builders that get the work done. So remember I was saying that we're doers.

27:37 - Damaris (Host)

We're always doing something because it has to get done, and what you know what don't make sense right now, nachi, is that sometimes you have you be telling me what to do with this podcast. You have, like you try to treat me as I'm some sort of assistant or something. And you're like no, guess what we can come off bossy and remember what I said one of the dangers is being conditioned by generators. Y'all doers. I need to go back. We need to redefine roles.

28:06 - Nachi (Host)

Yes, no, we can't be bossy. And I was laughing. I read that because I said because I never feel like I'm bossy, I'm like letting you know what I'm thinking like, hey, can we do this? I think we should be able to do x, y and z it's interesting that you say, can we do this?

28:23 - Damaris (Host)

but then the only person doing it would is me, because I'm like, oh, I only have access to this, or I'm the one that actually knows technically how to do it so it's because I'm doing 20 other things.

28:34 - Nachi (Host)

So I'm doing 20 other things, so I'm letting you know. You can think about that. Okay, you say to me, I got my kids to take care of Mommy. This I do, oh Lord. But we have our own life force, energy, right? So that's our source, that we're continually regenerating and I think that's where our energy comes from, to be able to do all these different things and not be tired. However, they have to be satisfying. So, going back to what's what? What we called it, what's your signature? So, basically, what is that? What is it that is going to let you know that you're in alignment? And for generators is satisfaction. So I have to be satisfied in what I'm doing in order to continue to do it. However, if I'm not satisfied and I am frustrated, that is my sign that I am out of alignment. If it's frustrating, if I'm doing something, or if I, or if I'm put in a position where I have to do something and it is just creating a a a feeling of frustration, that means what I'm doing is not aligning with me.

29:48 - Damaris (Host)

So that's not. That's your, not self, as they would call it.

29:50 - Nachi (Host)

That's my, not self.

29:51 - Damaris (Host)

Yeah.

29:52 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, um, what else here? And, like you had mentioned our internal um, uh, we have to follow our internal response. So this is really interesting and I think this is where, uh, I tend to miss a step, because I can be very impulsive and that is a danger for a generator who has to Right because y'all already like to do a lot of stuff, so it's Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So for me especially, y'all be doing the most.

30:25 - Damaris (Host)

That's what basically I'm getting.

30:29 - Nachi (Host)

No, we get shit done. That's what you're getting.

30:32 - Damaris (Host)

Oh, okay, y'all don't do the most. Did you miss that? We're builders.

30:33 - Nachi (Host)

Okay, did you miss that? We're builders. Y'all have the ideas and we build it.

30:40 - Damaris (Host)

Okay, somehow that gets switched on me.

30:44 - Nachi (Host)

Okay, I'll let you know what needs to be done. That's it. I'm doing the other thing.

30:48 - Damaris (Host)

I will not be conditioned by you Go on.

30:54 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, for me, I find I was able to accept things that probably I would, normally I would have, and it was just exciting to hear about, you know, to learn about that and to feel validated Like, oh shit, yeah, I am supposed to be multitasking and being on a different type of project. That's just me. That's how I learn and that's how I give back.

31:36

You know that's how I teach others because I have been exposed to so many different things. So hey, here I am to show you. Hey, I've tried it, no-transcript. But the downside to that is that I may miss a piece and by missing a piece means that I have to now backtrack and go back and work on that. Backtrack and go back and work on that, but kind of going back to the body graph they have.

33:01

Within that body graph we have, I think it's, nine centers within your body graph and each of those nine energy centers is what's connecting the different components or channels. So that's where it looks confusing at first, but then, when you read a little bit more about it, you get to understand that these are the areas where you're more susceptible to being influenced. And then these are areas where there are the areas where you're more susceptible to being influenced. And then these are areas where there are certain areas where you have the most strength in, because that's your area where you thrive the most. So knowing those things is very helpful. And you and Damaris we talked about before we started recording. We talked about how there were certain energy centers where you thought I think the head yours is open and it's like, oh, wow, intuitively for you. You felt, oh, I've always been protecting my headspace because I, you know, I know I should.

34:02

So I would say, in terms of response, we have to take a minute, we have to take a pause whenever we are met with any type of decision that we got to make, and so it is in our best interest to sleep on these decisions versus jumping into something because we are led by our emotions, right, right.

34:46

So if we're happy, we may be susceptible to saying yes to a project that really doesn't align with us, but we're like, yeah, we're, you know, in a good mood, and you know, vice versa, if you're not in the best of mood, if you're not in a good space and you're approached with something, you may say no, and this is probably something that will benefit you. So it's very important for generators and manifesting generators to really take a moment to pause before making a decision. And it just made me think of that time when I had someone approach me about starting a candle business, and at that time and I feel like it you know, emotions can kind of go both ways, but at that time I needed something to do, and so when this person approached me about, hey, let's do this candle business. Now, this person, she, she, you know, she's had different businesses and she has the business acumen that I was, I, you know, I thought would would have been a good partnership a good match for you, right right?

35:48

and I was more the creative side. So, and that was the reason why she approached me, because I was creative and I had, um right, my soap and body, the uh body product business anyway, uh, while it sounded good and the whole idea was great, it just it didn't align with me and I wasn't feeling great about it.

36:13

Like at the moment when it was approached I was like, yes, let's do this, uh-huh, you know, like I was, you know yes, gun hell, we were meeting, we were doing all this extra stuff and then things started just happening and of course we didn't move forward with it. But I remember feeling this doesn't really quite feel right and I'm not feeling it anymore. And this was after the fact that, after I've already said, yes, let's do this, and again had I taken a moment and paused and thought about it then.

36:51

I would have realized okay, maybe this is not a great thing for me to move forward or whatever, you know whatever, but that is very important for generators is to really take a pause. And just because we are led by our emotions, so we have to pause and see how do we feel about this. Is this an aha moment or no?

37:16

this is a nah, we're not doing this yeah it's either one or the two, and if we're not feeling that energetically, then we have. We have to make our decisions accordingly. But we have to take that pause. We can't be um spontaneous with our decisions, and I I do that quite a bit.

37:39 - Damaris (Host)

Okay, well, that's see, but now, but knowing that, right it's, it's like okay, that changes the your approach to when you, when opportunities present themselves to you. Now you're like wait a minute, okay, let me think. Let me think on this, yes, Give me give. Give me some time, but I'll get back to you on it. You know what I mean yeah, yeah, no because, again.

38:01 - Nachi (Host)

yeah, it can definitely lead to a lot of frustration, especially, you know you get into a project and you're so excited about it uh, because of how emotionally where you are in that that time right, and you didn't take a moment to really think about it, like you know, what does this feel like in my gut? You know, is this like hmm, yes, you know, this is definitely it. Or are you a little bit hesitant and you just avoided that feeling because you're like this is a great opportunity. Let me do this.

38:47 - Damaris (Host)

Yeah, it says here that in this ebook that I'm referencing, generators have a tremendous Let me do this here is when you initiate because you are trying to make things happen, you'll generally meet with resistance in the form of frustration and feeling stuck. Yeah, which is yeah, okay. So it says as a generator, you need to wait for life to bring for you need to wait for what life brings to you and then follow your response yeah so you have an aura that is open and enveloping, taking in everything in your environment.

39:19

Oh, so you're the opposite of me. You draw things to you and, as you are energetically designed to respond, you begin to eliminate resistance and the frustration that comes from not using your energy correctly.

39:45 - Nachi (Host)

So, not to learn, not to learn.

39:48 - Damaris (Host)

Not to learn, not to learn, not to learn. All right. Now, moving on to the projector type, this makes up about 20% of the human population. Their strategy is to wait for the invitation. So, unlike manifestors and generators, projectors do not have consistent and reliable energy for working or manifesting. So they're not, you know, like for me, I manifest, not she, as a generator is more focused on the doing and the working, but projectors they're not consistently either of those. So they therefore need to learn about efficient use of energy to sustain a certain level of activity without running the risk of burnout.

40:35 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, they don't like to. They're not designed to work consistently either. Wow, wow, wow, wow wow.

40:42 - Damaris (Host)

Wow, okay anyway. So apparently, as a projector, there's a potential to advise and be a guide for others once you develop your skills. The key here, the strategy for the projector, is to wait for the invitation Once you have your skills and your potential has been recognized. So because they have natural gifts to be guides they need to master when it is that they should provide the guidance and not because what it says here is that, if they?

41:19

if they offer their guidance unsolicited. I feel like a lot of Dominican moms are projectors. If they offer the advice unsolicited, they may otherwise come off as intrusive and then they start. They start, so it says they run. They run the risk of exhausting others and then they also run the risk of feeling like you know they're. They're resentful and exhausted because ain't nobody asked you for all your shit. And then here you are exhausting yourself, giving everybody advice and guidance.

41:50 - Nachi (Host)

Calm down and wait and wait for someone to ask so when I was reading that I was, I felt like I know some projectors.

41:57 - Damaris (Host)

They don't.

41:58 - Nachi (Host)

They just don't know they're projectors but I was feeling, I was like I was reading it as if I was a projector myself, because as as just how I treat my children always giving them advice when they really ask. But that's what I'm supposed to do as mother I'm supposed to tell them and give them advice while they roll their eyes right.

42:21 - Damaris (Host)

Their signature is success, apparently success. So if y'all are successful, that means you're on the right track. If shit ain't working out for you, that means shut your mouth, focus on your expertise and wait to be asked, right? No, I love that no no, because it can lead to bitterness. If they, if they, they'll become resentful because they feel like you know which is which makes sense, which makes absolute sense. Our niece, what she said? Oh, she said, she's a generator, right, and my name is a generator.

42:50 - Nachi (Host)

So yeah, naomi is a generator and my kids are generators too except they don't be doing nothing let me no, because it doesn't interest them.

43:02 - Damaris (Host)

It doesn't. Yeah, no, no, they do what? Exactly what they like and they don't be the things that I understand no so right but it ain't for us to understand. No, it's not so let me. Let me let them live their lives in their human journeys but what I need them to be is more doers.

43:20

Yes, the things we need them to do? Yes. So then the next one and the last fourth type is reflector. They only make up 1% of the population, so these people are super rare, super rare, and the strategy for them is is crazy, because their strategy is that they need to wait out a lunar cycle to come to a decision in order to get the right decision, and I would imagine this is for like major stuff. It may be some small stuff, I don't know, but obviously you know. If there's three things you need to do before the lunar cycle, do it.

43:58

But they're rare and unique among the types. They are highly receptive and attuned to their environment. They will know when they're in a safe and healthy environment and when they're not. So their ability is to take in, sample and reflect the energy of those around them, which is why they call reflectors. Due to the extreme openness in their chart, their aura is resistant and sampling, which naturally protects them energetically and moves them away from what is not healthy or conducive to the experience. So, similar to manifestors, where we also have a resistant aura, they have one, but there's a sampling, because they again are reflectors.

44:41

For what the? The unique thing and what makes them unusual is their relationship to the moon, and so to reach clarity, they typically have to wait out a lunar cycle, which is 29.5 days, and that enables them to access and reflect on a range of experiences during this period. So this is considered like a filtering process for them, and it requires patience, obviously, but it brings a consistent experience of themselves throughout the month. So, for them, when they're not making decisions based on the lunar cycle, they're likely to experience disappointment. When they're rushing into things without being able to reflect fully. That's going to lead to that. So, for the goal for them is to keep an interest in and be surprised by what the world has to offer, but again, you know, be ensuring that their decision making is based on the lunar cycle.

45:43 - Nachi (Host)

That's crazy, right yeah, I'll be interested to uh meeting someone who's a reflector you know who's a reflector nachi who I just thought lindsey, lindsay. Lindsay is a reflector.

46:03 - Damaris (Host)

Guys, she was a guest on our grief episode and I've known her for 20 years, I know.

46:13

But it's funny as I'm reading this and I have to ask her about the lunar cycle thing. But I do recognize that when there's a lot happening at once and I've just never noticed the timing of it and things don't go right, I'm now wanting, now I need to talk to her and I'm going to call her tomorrow or text her like does this happen when you're off the lunar cycle and you've made these decisions? She's going to be like what the fuck are you talking about? But but no, she knows she's a reflector and she knows that she makes up a really small percentage of the human population that are reflectors.

46:43 - Nachi (Host)

That is so interesting. We need for her to come back.

46:48 - Damaris (Host)

I know right and talk through this Because, honestly, guys, there's so much that we've got to talk about that we're just not going to get through it. But so, besides, your type and your strategy, which is, like I said, for me as a manifestor is to inform for Nachi, it's to what is it For?

47:06 - Nachi (Host)

generators Respond.

47:08 - Damaris (Host)

We have to wait to respond the. The other thing that is important that you also can get from these free reports when you do a human design report is understanding your inner authority. Now there's there's like about six to eight, I don't know. I didn't count how many inner authorities there are, but for the purposes of time, I'm just going to go over my authority and not you go over your authority, because this is where you identify the how and why. We're susceptible to conditioning from the outside influences, so it's important to know you're in authority to help you make decisions within your type. So for me, my inner authority is splenic, and basically what that means is this is an intuitive or instinctual authority, the inherent ability to know instantly whether something is good for you or not. And doesn't that make sense for me? Nachi, wow, okay, she was a bit of a seductress, I'm sorry.

48:19 - Nachi (Host)

I was on mute because I was flipping through pages and I didn't want to.

48:23 - Damaris (Host)

Oh, okay, okay, All right I was like wow, okay, I'm glad she's participating.

48:28

So no, the so it for me. When I read that again, that makes a lot of sense, because everything I tell you guys about how I move about, I move about intuitively as much as possible. And lo and behold, it says that that's my inner authority is to make decisions from my splenic, which is basically doing it from my gut, my intuition, and I'll know immediately whether something's good for me or not. And also my intuition will only tell me once. So they're like oh, if you don't follow that, you're going to learn the hard way. So for me, I think about I absolutely do that with food medicine. When it comes to eating, I've always instinctively known that animal protein just is very good for my body. Now, if I were to listen to the dietary recommendations by this government, I would be eating tons of sugar, simple carbs and like two pieces of fruit Right. But when it's run by the sugar industry, that's what you get. That's another episode that we already had. Big food, right. But my whole point is like with food, big food.

49:55 - Nachi (Host)

Right right.

49:56 - Damaris (Host)

But my whole point is like with food, I know what works for me. Sweets have never been my thing. Anything that white sugar based food like cakes, cookies and stuff. I could literally live without Chocolates. I don't care, I don't like chocolates, I don't care, I don't like. But you present to me a ribeye, lamb chops, chicken ribeye yes, fish. I'll eat that, I need that and I actually feel better. So guess what? That is me following my intuition, listening to my body and being in tune. And that is absolutely. It just makes sense for me. And also with medicine, I'm a person. The only time I've been in a hospital was when I was born. Praise God, let's keep it that way. I've always known what I'm going to take and what I'm going to put in my body or not, and I am good. My focus has always been my immune system, which, interestingly, is in the gut, and I make my decisions from the gut. So I need to keep my immune system in check so that my intuition is always on point.

51:15 - Nachi (Host)

Yeah, I know that's right.

51:19 - Damaris (Host)

That's why the government don't like me what I have to say she talks too much.

51:24

She talks too much and she don't eat sugar she don't eat the synthetic processed foods as much as we want her to. To fuck with her intuition and her gut. Not Not going to happen? So yeah, so that I found super. That was really interesting about how my intuition is my guiding force in life. But it's again it will only warn me once. So it says you'll find yourself, especially after being involved in some mishap or accident, saying things like I just knew this was going to happen and it's kind of true, and it's so fucking true. And the funny part of it saying like, my intuition is only going to tell me once. That is also how I treat other people in terms of when I give advice or I share an opinion. I hate to repeat myself.

52:19

And apparently so does my intuition and my gut. It doesn't want to repeat itself with me and therefore I don't like to repeat myself with others. And it's not about I, don't care about you, it's really. You have the power to do what you want. So if I share with you what I think and you ask me my opinion and you don't take it in, that's fine. But don't expect me to keep telling you the same thing, because I'm not, because now I've disengaged, I'm wasting my time, you're wasting my time.

52:52

You're wasting your time asking me the same thing. So, yeah, interesting. So what's your inner authority nachi?

53:02 - Nachi (Host)

emotion, um, and so I yeah so I talked about that a little bit earlier where it's like you have to check your emotion because, again, if it's easy for you to make a decision, you could be quick in your decision based on your emotion at that very moment. So you have to be mindful of that Because, again, you don't want to say yes to something that you really are not aligned with. But if you take a moment to just kind of sit with it and see how you feel, maybe get some further clarity while you wait, you'll be able to respond to it much better than if you respond to it at that immediate time. It says here being spontaneous is the worst thing you can be. Again.

53:59 - Damaris (Host)

You're like, I've learned the hard way.

54:01 - Nachi (Host)

Yes, yes, and you know what's so funny? I remember a few years ago I went for my first Reiki session and I went in there and I said to you know, I thought there was something going on my throat chakra, right, I was like I think my throat chakra is blocked and she's like okay, you know, she's explaining me how the session is gonna go. So we went through the session and afterwards she's talking to me and she said I didn't get anything from your throat chakra.

54:35 - Damaris (Host)

She said she's like no, you talk a lot, You're fine.

54:39 - Nachi (Host)

You're not blocked.

54:40 - Damaris (Host)

here you speak your mind.

54:42 - Nachi (Host)

Right, You're not blocked. She's like I don't get that. I don't get that. You're blocked here, she said, but you're blocked in your solar plexus and that's where my inner authority lies is in my solar plexus, my inner authority lies in my solar plexus. So kind of going back to that, because every time I go for a Reiki session that's always my issue my solar plexus which is crazy. Why do you keep blocking it? I don't know.

55:12 - Damaris (Host)

This is going to be part of my transformation journey.

55:14 - Nachi (Host)

with this, using human design, I want to experiment based on these tips that they give you um, and being able to respond, uh, with intention, not quickly, not not giving a response, or acting or making a decision right based on very moment.

55:37

I need to. I need to get in the habit of taking a moment before responding. That's where I think my problem is is I'm always quick to make decisions and then I get into a place where I become frustrated because I'm not in alignment with what I need to be doing. So that is going to be my, my goal. But I just found that very interesting because I, every time I go and I and she keeps telling me it's my solar plex and I'm like I don't think that's an issue for me but apparently it is.

56:16

It is, it is, and when you think about it, it's funny, because solar plexus has to do with, like, self-confidence and self-esteem, and again, I wouldn't think that that would be me Right, but there's some aspect of it that you may not even realize.

56:36 - Damaris (Host)

You're thinking a certain way and it could be affecting that.

56:40 - Nachi (Host)

Right and again, and that's probably why I feel like I thought it was my throat chakra, because I wasn't expressing myself. But it wasn't that, it was my issues with my solar plexus. So if I deal with my solar plexus, you know, then I will be able to articulate and communicate what I need. But I'm okay in terms of communicating, because that's I'm apparently good at that.

57:06 - Damaris (Host)

Right, I mean. So again, there's there's so much information and if you guys really like how we're going through the human design system, then we're definitely open to having follow-up conversations to go in depth with the other inner authorities and getting more into, kind of the body graphs and the gateways and stuff and what that means for you. But we won't go through it unless you guys really care and want us to and we're happy to do so. So, but I do want to share kind of again a reminder of here observing the sign pose of are you on the right track or not, based on your, your type. So for manifestors, it's about experiencing more peace and less anger. I personally think about when I'm hungry hangry, I get a sense of peace. When I eat good food, I'm like yes, oh, life is so good.

58:12 - Nachi (Host)

Yes.

58:13 - Damaris (Host)

So I get that. I feel that in my bones Again, the not repeating myself yes, all of that, more peace, I want peace. I left New York City and I love that place, but that place was no longer vibing with me. It was trying to hold me down. It was too restrictive. You're not going to tell me what to do for the next meltdown.

58:35

Okay, anyway, generators, it's about living with satisfaction that's your signature and being less frustrated. So the minute when you, when you run into that resistance and you're you're getting frustrated, that likely means you're off track. When you're satisfied, life is good, you're on it. Projectors is about finding success and less bitterness, meaning, again, we focus on waiting, to be a guide and to provide advice and not offering that unsolicited. That unsolicited You'll find when you have success, you're in the right place.

59:20

And to reflectors it's about experiencing more surprise and less disappointment. And it sounds like, again, if you're not, this is the only type that has this unique aspect of revolving its decisions around the lunar cycle. So it sounds like you'll have fewer disappointments if you revolve those decisions around the lunar cycle and you'll be more open to the surprises that life will bring. So this was a lot of fun. I enjoyed this topic and this conversation, still learning about it for myself and how I'm going to move about, but I definitely know that intuition is my thing, always following it, not working like a donkey, starting things, telling y'all what I'm doing but not asking for your permission. And yeah, no, I'm happy and it sounds like I'm on track because I do feel at peace. I get to see mountains. Now I get to breathe fresh air.

01:00:21

I love it so so, yes, so this is all very exciting stuff. We have some shout outs to make drum roll. Yes, so excited that we have some two new reviews. Well, actually, we have a new review this month and then one from canada, but it doesn't show up on the us apple site or apple podcast app because the uh, it's regional. So the only reason I know is because we have access to our analytics and I see it. So let me pull these up so I can read it well, that's.

01:01:03 - Nachi (Host)

That's so messed up. I know I know it should. It should uh come across no, it's so stupid.

01:01:12 - Damaris (Host)

Yes, agreed, but super excited that we have for our recent, our recent review, we have a five-star rating from uncle dandy and the subject line is play cousins in my head. Okay, uncle dandy, so damn cute. He says enjoying the conversations and life advice, appreciate the authenticity and genuine approach to to the dialogue. Thank you, oh, I love that. We appreciate that so much. You don't understand, we really really do. And our next review, which was provided apr. April of this year, 2024, from Toson Toson T, and this is again a Canadian review. So shout out to our international community like I love you guys so much, because when I see our downloads, y'all really be holding us down. That's Canada.

01:02:14 - Nachi (Host)

Canada.

01:02:15 - Damaris (Host)

Shout out to Germany. Okay, I know, I see you, I see you. Germany. Yeah, the UK, all right, all right. So I'm really loving it. Those are just the few, but we do appreciate our international community. So this review starts off with subject line amazing podcast black hand clap, black hand clap emoji and it says I have to express my genuine admiration for the dynamic between the co-hosts. Okay, my biggest takeaway was from the episode escaping the need to please others. The phrase you are allowed to say no without feeling like you have to give a reason really struck a chord with me. It's such an important reminder and you handled the topic with grace and authenticity.

01:03:04 - Nachi (Host)

Thank you, oh, I appreciate that. I love to hear that because sometimes I feel like oh, did they care?

01:03:11 - Damaris (Host)

I know right, exactly, you guys don't understand. This means a lot to us and it actually keeps us going. It tells us that we're on the right path. Okay, we're in alignment, and that is super important for us to continue doing the work that we do and providing the content that we provide and create, because we want it to resonate. And we want it to resonate exactly like that and we do want to feel like Play Cousins in your head, because we see our community as an extension of our family.

01:03:46

So we appreciate so much what you guys do for us and how you continue to support us, because every download matters, every review matters, every five-star rating matters, every review matters, every, every five-star rating matters. So, love you guys and just want to close out with.
