Have you ever wanted to learn more about energy and/or your unique Human Design?

Over the last several months this is something that I have been looking deeply into, and have come to find that gaining this knowledge has really helped me understand my energetic place in this world more than ever before.

I started feeling frustrated seeing “everything is energy and energy is everything” pop up over and over again on Social Media, with no real explanation. It seems to have become a bit of a buzz phrase.

Now of course if you think back to school science lessons, we know everything in this world is made up of energy, including us; we are all connected via one unified field of electromagnetic energy, but what does that actually mean?

This was a question I found myself asking, and I became fascinated with finding out more. Thus my research began and I started diving down every rabbit hole to discover the answers I was looking for.

If you have a curious brain like me and want to know more about all of this, then you’ve stumbled upon the right article! And I truly believe it was no accident that you landed here today.

So let’s start right at the beginning.

Everything in this world is energy, vibrating at different levels and frequencies and everything is constantly moving, even if it may appear to be static.

Electromagnetic Energy is the term used to describe electrical or magnetic waves that travel through space. They’re all light waves, meaning all energy is in fact light. The only energy however that we are visually aware of, is the spectrum of colours.

Then we have things such as gamma rays, x-rays, UV rays, infrared rays, microwaves, radio, TV, and long radio waves. A lot of them we use everyday, but because we can’t see the wavelengths, vibrations/frequencies, we forget that we’re surrounded, affected and influenced by this energy.

You also have an energetic influence and emit frequencies depending on your mood. This comes from your Heart Energy, or your Aura. Low mood equals low vibration, good mood equals high vibration, and this can affect you and those around you negatively or positively. But not just those in close proximity, it’s also what contributes to mass or group consciousness.

If you do a Google search of the Energetic Emotional Scale you’ll be able to get a better understanding of this. But essentially our frequencies start from 20hz (low emotions) and go all the way up to 700+ hz (high emotions).

Now of course it’s energetically impossible to be high vibe all the time. Life is about yin and yang, light and dark, good and bad, love and hate etc, but in order to live a fulfilling happy life, to create, to feel aligned and be in flow, you want to be on the higher end of the scale as often as humanly possible.

Having simple practices in place that help you improve your mood and overall well-being is a great place to start, and it means that you then have a buffet of options to choose from if you’re ever feeling out of alignment.

Here are some of my suggestions for getting back into flow:

● Ground yourself – go outside without shoes on and feel the earth beneath you

● Meditate – even just 5 minutes a day is great!

● Exercise – whether it’s a sweaty HIIT cardio session or a light walk down the beach

● Eat a balanced diet – this includes drinking plenty of water

● Get more sleep – the best hours for regenerative sleep for most people are between 10pm and 2am, so getting to bed before 10pm can make a difference

● Do activities that bring you joy – actually make time for your passions and hobbies

● Belly laugh at a comedy or with your friends – laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain

● Allow yourself white space / free time for nothing – schedule in time to do nothing; and I know that might sound counterintuitive, but scheduling in your ‘white space’ means you have made an agreement to yourself that this is down time

Really anything that snaps you out of daily habits and allows you to feel carefree, that is flow. And being in that energy state makes things feel effortless.

Okay, so the other part to all of this is Human Design.

Human Design shows you where and how to access your body’s consciousness as a decision-making tool, and ultimately, how to live as your true self.

In Human Design there are 5 Energy Types – Manifestor (approx 9% of the population), Generator (approx 37%), Manifesting Generator (approx 33%), Projector (approx 20%), and Reflector (approx 1%).

Using the Theatre Production analogy, Manifestors would be the producer; Generators and Manifesting Generators would be the lights, camera and the action; Projectors would be the director; and Reflectors would be the audience/critic.

There are many other factors in your Human Design chart that give you an accurate and unique reading, but your Energy Type is the way you optimise your unique energy in all areas of life, such as relationships, work, sleep, digestion, and creativity – so it’s of course one of the most important pieces to the puzzle.

To put it simply, Human Design is truly eye opening! And one of the best personality profiling systems I have ever come across.

Think of it like your personal manual. When we buy a car, or new TV, appliance etc, it comes with an instruction manual – when we come into this world we don’t get that luxury. We have to figure it all out for ourselves. With Human Design, it gives you a really clear overview of how you uniquely operate so that you can start living life more by your design, and ultimately feeling more aligned and fulfilled.

If you learn more about Energy and how we influence it all at a human level, i.e. vibrations and frequencies; and then combine that with the knowledge of your Human Design – you will start to see a much bigger picture.

Knowledge is powerful, and it’s what helps you become more self-aware and able to make changes that can positively impact you and those around you.

I recently ran a workshop on Energy Alignment and have the replay available on my website for anyone interested to look further into it. If this sounds like a bit of you, feel free to catch the replay here – Energy Alignment Workshop.

I am now also offering Human Design Chart Readings which I am super excited about! Want me to read your chart? Check out my online shop here and choose from a standard reading or an in-depth chart reading with clarity call.

To sum everything up that I’ve talked about today, I’d love to leave you with this quote from Nikola Tesla…

“If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
