This is an awesome rethinking of the process Carolyn. And the video was super well done.

I love how you're digging into your Reflector cycles with Notion!

Casey, I remember we were talking about HD this time last year! So funny it comes back full circle.

Was it a year ago already? 🤯 I'm really taking this to heart - as an MG, it always seems like I'm moving quicker than the moon but I'm going to start incoporating the lunar phases into my daily response log.

Super interesting! My sister does human design. I’ve never thought how it can relate to creativity in that way. I need to chat with her about it!

So fun Leah, does she do readings? Meaning-making systems like HD have been so helpful for figuring out my creative practice, getting to know more about how I want to operate rather than molding into a "right" way of doing it. And that's what creativity is all about!

She used to do readings but not anymore. I have been investigating mine this week and it so interesting!

This was really interesting to read! Thank you so much for sharing your insight and process. How incredible to see how you used it in your own life.

I’m a Manifestor and the main thing I noticed when I found this out and started working with HD, is how much I respond from heightened emotions. Not just angry or sad but immense anything, like excitement and panic.

Since I’ve started to wait (until what I call the cool zone) I don’t make any rash decisions. My type is best waiting until the heat (or extremes) have simmered right down and I’m not activated/triggered before decision making. It helps and it works!

I feel this might be the same as following the moon cycles? By delaying for at least a full lunar cycle, it takes the charge out needing to know, right now?

As someone who tries their best to live with intention and, at a much slower pace than most, the moon and her cycles have deeply transformed my relationship with my body and life in general. What I mean by that, is when I saw and was taught, that I’m cyclical being and definitely not linear, each lunar cycle and indeed menstrual cycle, we travel through seasons. (And it also works for anyone who doesn’t menstruate, because I used the lunar cycles throughout all three of my pregnancies, as an anchor and tool).

I was actually really disappointed at first, when I realised my HD type wasn’t the one associated with the moon — now I do what I love with the moon anyway and as a Manifestor. It’s still a learning curve and I don’t know all there is to do with being a Manifestor, but that’s part of the learning process of life isn’t it! Plus, as a Mother, I use these tools to inform how I best parent and to learn their types too and bring out their best. It’s an amazing topic isn’t it!

I love discovering more about Manifestors, Louise! Thanks for sharing that. Waiting until rashness / energetic charge subsides is such a helpful strategy. And the moon is a helpful guide for anyone—so awesome to hear you have leaned on its structure through three pregnancies, so inspiring!
