The Cycle of Endings and Beginnings in Human Design

As you delve into the knowledge and practice of Human Design, or any type of energy work, you unknowingly embark on a journey of grieving and renewal. This process can be subtle or glaringly obvious, but it always involves seeing yourself, your relationships, your job, your friends and family, and every decision you make—both conscious and unconscious—in a new light that only reflection can provide.

What is often overlooked in the Human Design is that the journey of self-realization is one of mourning and loss and initiation and transition into new growth. Understanding your design is just the first step. Seeing how your understanding and contemplation play out is an entirely different stage. When you come to understand the various elements in your chart and how each of its energies moves through your system—both body and mind—you begin to notice a shift in your tolerance for everything in and around your life. This includes how you engage with your circle of friends, spend time with your family, and even how you consume media—yes, how your energy processes information and where it sits. this shift often comes with a lot of endings and equal amount of openings.

Boundaries are what starts to take place in identifying what no longer is serving you. As you gain a deeper understanding of your true self, you naturally begin to create boundaries. These boundaries are dynamic, evolving to fit who you are in each moment. Sometimes the boundaries you create align with your energy's mapping, and other times they do not. This is where experimentation comes into play, and it is widely recommended to explore the who, what, when, where, and why of your Human Design.

As you begin to play and structure yourself accordingly, Human Design can shed light on what is working and what is not. This process of experimenting and realigning is crucial, as it helps you navigate through the endings of old patterns and the beginnings of new ones. Embracing this cyclical process allows for continuous growth and transformation, aligning you more closely with your true self and the unique path you are meant to follow.

Example

Let's consider a basic example of a Manifesting Generator (MG), a type known for their dynamic energy and multitasking abilities. When an MG begins their Human Design journey, they might initially struggle with the idea of slowing down (especially with an Emotional Authority) and tuning into their sacral response—the gut feeling that guides their decisions.

Initial Understanding

At the outset, this MG might notice they are constantly juggling multiple projects and commitments, often feeling overwhelmed and burnt out. As they start to understand their Human Design, they recognize the importance of responding to what life brings rather than initiating new projects impulsively. This realization marks the end of their old pattern of overcommitting and the beginning of a new way of interacting with the world.

Experimentation Phase

During the experimentation phase, the MG begins to practice responding to life instead of initiating. They start small, perhaps by waiting to respond to social invitations or work opportunities. They notice how their energy feels when they wait for the right opportunities versus when they act out of impatience. This period involves trial and error, as the MG learns to trust their sacral response more deeply.

This is where documentation and reflection practices help prove your progress and feelings.

Observing Shifts

As this MG continues to align with their design, they observe shifts in their tolerance for different activities and relationships. They may find that certain friendships or job tasks no longer resonate with them, leading to natural endings. Simultaneously, new opportunities and connections that align with their true self begin to emerge.

The more you let go of the things that do not serve, the more you allow the things that do serve, come.

Boundary Setting

With a deeper understanding of their energy, the MG starts setting boundaries that reflect their sacral authority. They learn to say no to activities that drain them and yes to those that energize them. These boundaries are not static but evolve as the MG grows and changes.

Growth Over Time

This ongoing process of ending old patterns and embracing new ones becomes a cycle of continuous growth. The MG learns to navigate life with greater ease and authenticity, constantly refining their understanding of what it means to live in alignment with their Human Design.

Wrapping Up

By embracing the cyclical nature of Human Design, you can navigate the endings of old patterns, behaviors, and relationships with grace and welcome the emergence of new, empowering ways of being.

Remember, an ending is only a new beginning, just re-branded.
