Hello friends and welcome to week 2 of our REST series.
There’s been a wonderful response to
This week, I’m delighted to share with you a conversation I had recently with coach, mentor and writer
about Human Design. I wanted to share with you my experiences of discovering and integrating this powerful way of understanding our energy into my life, and have Lauren explain to us what Human Design is, how it works and how it can be useful for us in terms of being more easeful in our lives.It felt really appropriate to have this conversation during the REST series, because for me, understanding how to best use and align with my unique energy has been a gamechanger in terms of how rested I feel in my day to day life. I’m working with myself, rather than battling myself day to day. I don’t run myself into the ground any more doing what I feel I ‘should’. I am better at knowing what suits me, how to find flow. The relief in this has been enormous and has impacted my creativity, my relationships, my working life.
Human Design was reminding me who I was before I had become so consumed by what I thought the world wanted me to be.

Here’s how Lauren describes Human Design:
Human Design, to me, is a map of our true selves, I use it very much as a tool of remembrance, mirroring to us our innate qualities and gifts to enable us to operate in the world in our most magnetic and magical way.

On a more intellectual level, Human Design is known as the science of differentiation. It emphasises our uniqueness and how each of us are designed to show up and operate in the world in our own way. The system itself is a combination of Quantum Physics, Eastern and Western Astrology, the Chinese, I’Ching, The Kabbalah and the Hindu Chakra System.
After listening, if you’d like to read more, Lauren has a great introductory article you can read here:

I really hope you enjoy this conversation. Let me know in the comments what has been sparked for you? Have you used Human Design in your life? Or what other systems and frameworks have helpful you feel more easeful in your creative life, your work, your day to day life? Do share, I’d love to know.
