What is My Human Design?

On This Walk

In today’s walk, we’re taking on a very special topic with an equally special guest. Today we talk about human design, a very deep and complex concept that has intrigued me ever since I was introduced to it, many years ago. To accompany me on this journey is my walking partner for today, Nik McRae, who I first met 3 years ago.

Over the years, my conversations with Nik have been extremely helpful and insightful and have taught me many deep things about myself. Nik helped me understand some of the tendencies that are innately baked into the design of who I am. This also allowed me to connect with some tools and gifts that I didn’t even realize I had.

So for this conversation, not only do we discuss more about human design but I put my own design fully on view as Nik uses my profile to illuminate this system and wisdom. As part of this, we get into the importance of waiting to act at the right time, how stress and urgency affects our design, and finding our rhythms in life… among a lot more.

Notable Quotes

• “We go through these changes of season because there are meant to be these cycles that are recurring within our universe. One of the seasons specifically is reminding us of that process of birth, life, death. Going into death and then the rebirth cycle. And we go through these different phases throughout the course of our lives. And to me, the more that we start to pay attention to what feels like the divine timing or life's timing for us as it begins to unfold is becoming more and more felt to me because it doesn't feel like I'm trying to force my way through the way things are happening and instead to work with it, to be in the flow of the river as opposed to trying to direct the river in a given way.” - Luke (1:26:39)

• “What I have been finding to be most beneficial in working with friends and clients and family members and especially with my own designs over the years, it’s not how we fit into our design but how our design helps us navigate our own experiences more innately, more instinctually. The more you start to learn about the nuances of these systems and when you have someone to help translate that into actual experiences of your life, that when we can start to see how to apply these things in a practical way that has nothing to do just with the belief of it but has everything to do with the application of it.” – Nik (09:48)
