What is Human Design?
Human Design is a system created in 1987 by Ra Uru Hu, who claimed to have received the information through a mystical experience. The system synthesizes various ancient and modern modalities, offering a detailed understanding of how we are each uniquely wired to interact with the world around us.
At its core, Human Design explains how you are energetically designed to make decisions, take action, and express your purpose. It gives you insight into your natural strengths, challenges, and how you can move through life with more ease and authenticity.
Human Design combines:

The I Ching for understanding your energy gates
The Kabbalah’s Tree of Life for mapping your energy centers
The Chakra system to explain how you process energy in the body
