Okay, you guys, y'all heard the episode on Monday with day Luna, which was incredible. We talked all about human design. That went into all the different types of five types which are the manifest or, generator, manifesting generators, projector, and reflector and these. Knowing your type really determines the way you need to live your life. It is a gift, as you all say, so explain really quickly for if anyone missed the episode. What is human design? Let's run through and then we're gonna do a quick how to episode, which is how to have a daily practice to be an alignment with each different type. So if you all could quickly just go through human design and then go through the types, and let's go through a little bit of the best tip for each different type to live in their alignment, and you can do a quick introduction of yourselves. Yeah. So we're Shana and Dana from day Luna and um we specialize with in human design. Human design is this science of differentiation. It's a synthesis of ancient modalities and modern science too that tells you really how your energetic body is designed to operate in the world around you and how you can come into your own unique sense of personal alignment in living your purpose. So it gets really specific on how you can do that as a unique individual. And it's based off of the time that you're born. So knowing your birth information is crucial because it goes off of the time that you're born and eighty eight days before you're born when your consciousness is formed in the womb. So it's combining Kabbala, the Chinese each ing, the Hindu chakra system, and Western astrology. So it's really amazing and specific. And when you first look up your chart, it's it's going to tell you what your human design type is and this is really your energetic aura, how your aura operates um and receives energy from other people as well. So there's five different types like you mentioned um and the first type is manifest us and are are main daily p just tips for manifest urs is starting to inform as much as you can. So manifestos are here to be impactful and to initiate change in the world and be this catalyst, and they have this closed aura like we mentioned in the podcast, and so informing lets people in to understand what you're doing. So our favorite ways to start informing for manifestos, because it does feel really foreign to do. This is saying out loud three intentions that you have for the day in your morning and in the middle of the day, you know, just saying out loud how you're feeling, and nobody has to be there. You can be informing the universe. You can be informing um. You know, your partner, your family or no one, but saying out loud how you're feeling midday, and then in the evening saying out loud three things that you loved about the day, And that little bit of informing can really just bring people in um, eliminate resistance and increase your magnetism. And you guys are saying manifestos are like the Kings and queens energy. A lot of celebrities are manifestos, and it's easy to think that we all need to live like manifest us if we're not, because they're the ones showcasing their talents a lot and their expertise a lot, and they have all this energy and they're putting it out there all the time. But if you're not a manifesto, which you need to learn your chart, then that's not the way for you. You don't need to operate like they do. So I love that too, learning like you, we don't need to copy what all these people are doing if it's not our type, right, correct. Yeah, So for the next type, it's generators. So generators are the people who generate creative life force energy. These are people who have this energy to use doing what they love. They're here to create things, They're here to build things, are here to work on things that truly light them up. And they're here to listen to their body about what they're wanting to create and do, and that is the thing that helps them kind of live this sacred purpose of spreading positive energy, spreading energy and inspiration to the people around them. So for a generator, really they're here to listen to their body all the time about how they want to use their energy in each single moment of their day. So a really good practice that we like to give generators um is to listen to your body when it comes to eating food. So food is actually a very key thing in the life of a generator or a manifesting generator. And your body might feel like I just don't want these eggs right now, even though I had this yesterday and it makes sense to have it. Your body can kind of feel like or blah or nothing towards these eggs, like I just don't want it. Allow yourself to listen and move your body and tell your your body is like I do want this thing, or my body might not want any food at all. So even with these very small decisions, does my body actually want this food or am I just eating it mindlessly? This can be a place where you can practice listening to your body, letting your body guide you and leave you even if it doesn't make sense to your mind, and eating food that your body really wanted or not eating it if you didn't want This can be a huge support and just having a more aligned and flowing day where things are just kind of happening for you. Um So that's actually the biggest tip that we like to offer generators in practice with the small things like food. It's really going to make a difference in your life if you can just trust Okay, my body doesn't want breakfast, great, not going to do it today? Okay, So I'm a generator And we talked about this in the podcast too. I like want to jump food and like some junks about I don't feel bad eating. Like I am an a phrase right now where I like, I want a dr Pepper every day and I know that's not like healthy, but like my body doesn't reject it, and when I drink it, I'm happy. And like, by all accounts of the world, that's not the right thing to do, but in my mind and my body at this moment, I'm not saying it won't change. I'm kind of like I feel fine about it. I feel good about it. Like, is that weird that it's bad for me? Technically because food is energy, Our bodies are energy. Everything that is matter is also energy. So the energy that you have about having that dr Pepper of like I want that right now, that is the energy that you are consuming, and that energy is correct for you. So when you're actually listening to your body, it might have these cravings of like right now, I really want this, And if you can listen with intention, your body is always going to guide you to a balanced and appropriate amount. It's actually when we are not listening to our bodies that we overeat that we form we have brain. Yeah, we think we have to only eat eggs and broccoli and grilled chicken and we're Yes, it's not balanced and it's not sustainable when we go against what our body really wants. So we have this misconception we can't trust our bodies, but actually our bodies are these incredibly wise and innate kind of beings that have all of this wisdom that's trying to guide us towards balance and sustainability and joy. So if you can really just listen to your body and see how that feels, see how much more aligned and authentic you feel throughout your day versus when you are disconnected from what your body really wants and living in this like I should have this, or I should have that, or experts say that this is what's healthy for me or not. That's actually an empowering shift that generators can make that actually teaches them how to trust your body's wisdom and then feel how that actually brings you balance. Amazing. Okay, so next is manifesting generator. Yeah, So for manifesting generators, these are people that are also have this creative energy. They're here to use it doing what they love. They're here to inspire people and the kind of trailblazers. Manifesting generators can often have many many different interest, jack of all trades kind of energy. It's important for them to have diversity in their life. And for a manifesting generator, playing is actually one of the most helpful things they can do for their energy. So as an adult, we often lose connection to our sense of play. We think that playing is not important. It's not productive, it doesn't make money, it's not helpful. But for a manifesting generator, the number one practice we would offer because find what is truly playful for you. You just love it everything and your body comes to life. You are challenged and you're in it and your presence. So for some manifesting generators that might be something like playing cards or journaling, but for others it might be going on a mountain bike ride or going to a yoga class or an aerial silk yoga class. A lot of manifesting generators like challenging activities that are new. There's something outside the box that they haven't tried yet. Um So for a manifesting generator, prioritize play and see how much vibrancy and joy and presence it brings to your life. When a man giant is truly present, they're able to really listen to their body and be guided about where they're meant to use their energy in the most purposeful ways. And yet you guys said that manifesting generators are a combination of manifest or and generation and generators, so they to stay in alignment, they need to inform and you've already said this. I'm strugating this. They need to inform what they're doing, so people are up to date, they don't feel resistance, and they need to listen to their body. That's how they stay in alignment. Generators. They need to listen to their body. That's how they say in alignment manifest ers they are the noble kings and queens, the trailblazers of our world. So they are needing to inform so people don't try to control them. So they're sharing their information. Okay, great, So now I've got projectors, which is use yes, So for projectives, yes, For projectors, you're really here to guide people. You're here to share your insight. You're here to guide the energy use of others. And you're not here to do or to work in the same way that other people are. So as a projector, um, the biggest thing that we want to kind of offer up as your daily practice is to create some space for yourself to ask yourself what fascinates me today in this moment. So this is about a mental curiosity, a mental enlivening that happens, like what truly fascinates me? How can I spend a little time learning about that thing or talking about that thing or doing it? And it might make zero sense to your mind, because once again, this is something that doesn't seem productive. Right So maybe you say, okay, what's fascinating to me today, and maybe it's fashion and you want to look at a fashion magazine and in your mind you're like, this is pointless, Like I'm not being productive right now, I don't work in fashion. It's not going to help me in any way to do this. But we encourage you to just refrain from that mental questioning and doubt and to give yourself time every single day to genuinely learn about or dive into what truly fascinates you. This is one of the best things projectors can do to increase their magnetism and to kind of just make their life more magnetic. More recognition happening, more success, more abundance happens when you create space to simply just be with the things that truly fascinate your mind and stimulate that sense of curiosity. And just to reiterate, you guys said, projectors, you'll have about two to four hours a day that you can really go hard at work, and then after that your brain is like done, it's tired, it needs to rescinates, to refuel. And so make sure you're very very particular and um intentional about that work that you do each day. And I love that you said to you work smarter, not harder, and um recognize. Then you have to wait for the wait for the invitation before you offer advice, because that is something about projectors. You guys have a lot to give, but it can come across as it won't be received. Yes, it can come across as pushy or unwelcome. You know, if you tell someone like you should break up with your boyfriend and then they're like, I didn't ask your opinion, it can really come off as repelling. So for projectors, it's all about doing what fascinates you and recognizing yourself while you wait for the invitation, wait for people to invite you to share your wisdom, to share your insight to share your expertise. That's when it's really going to be received. But that daily practices, that part of recognizing yourself, like what truly come to life right? Work on you, spend time with the things that really fascinate you. That's the most magnetic thing that you can do. So then you get that expertise and people want to come ask you about it. Okay, great, And the last one is last one is reflectors. So reflectors are the people that are only one person of the population, a super rare energy type, and they are extremely empathetic, almost like this chameleon. Any room that they go into they take in that energy and temporarily become that energy. So they can really be the wise people we look to to say, how are we doing? Are we healthy? Are we doing good? Is everything authentic here? And their energy kind of reflects back to us, um how well we're doing in general. So reflectors really empathetic and sensitive and wise beings. And then the chameleons because they can take any energy. Like you you guys said this before, you can't really like find a reflector because they can be the energy. They're reflecting all the energy they're around, so they are the ones. We need to look to you to see is the community healthy, because if they're not doing well, then that means the community they're reflecting back the energy of the community there, and so that means their community is not doing well, absolutely exactly. So reflectors, their strategy is actually called waiting a twenty eight day lunar cycle. So these reflectors are actually connected to the moon in a way that other people are not so extremely connected to moon. We're all connect to the moon, but for reflectors it's the main connection source in their life. So for a reflector, the moon really really kind of uh sways their energy and so it's the most helpful practice that they can do is being intentionally connected to the moon cycle. So when it is a new moon for them to really like think about, you know that traditional and a new moon, what seeds do I want to plant this next month? What intentions do I have? And then as the moon grows through its cycle and becomes a full moon, really for a reflector, paying attention to that and feeling what has grown in a fullness in my life in this month and reflecting on that and then shedding and kind of allowing that cyclical nature to happen. So for all of us, the moon cycle is something that impacts us, but for a reflector, it's the most helpful thing they can do to really pay attention to that, to do moon ceremonies, to journal around the moon, and to observe the connection that they have to the moon's cyclical nature.

Like I am obsessed with the all I just want to like hang out with the twenty seven and talking us talk about this all the time, because like I I want to talk about this all the time. It's like, oh my god, here are the answers. We spend all this time And I talked about this a lot in the long podcast that we did on Monday, but like we spend all this time doing therapy, and like I love the insdiogram and I love all the Myers Briggs and astrology is amazing, and like our signs, like are you a libra Leo? All that stuff. That's all amazing, that's helpful, But this combines everything and it gives you a specific answer for who you are based on all of these forces. That you don't have to spend years in therapy trying to get someone else's opinion about yourself. It's just a fact here, it is. This is you based on when you were born. Here's your chart, and it tells you all the stuff. So it's just such a gift. As you all were saying, everyone needs to pursue human design. This needs to be taught in school. I'm just saying, go and put that out there at the universe and pursue your own, your own chart, whatever you are, pursue it because this is going to help and pursue those around you, because this is going to help your relationships. This is going to help you be a better person, a better partner, a better parent, a better member of community. And if you can if the more people around you know they're human design type, then if we all can understand that, then how much more harmonious will we be as a community, in a society and as a collective. So this is really something that we all need to get into our lives It's not just special for the people who are woo woo, who are trying to be all in tune. This is for everyone.
