aura:not-self theme

Adjusting to using our human design correctly takes time and is not an overnight process. Our not-self theme is a guidepost that indicates when we have veered off track. Each energy type has a specific not-self theme, such as frustration for generators and manifesting generators, bitterness for projectors, disappointment for reflectors, and anger for manifestors. Recognizing our not-self theme helps us distinguish between authentic and inauthentic behavior, allowing us to make conscious choices based on our personal truths and values. Our aura, an electromagnetic field around our body, is connected to our strategy in human design. Different energy types have unique auras that reflect their characteristics. The generator and manifesting generator auras are enveloping and grounding, the manifestor aura is repelling and intense, the projector aura is penetrating and mysterious, and the reflector aura is sampling and intuitive.

The not-self theme is a key element of human design as it helps to identify the differences between authentic and inauthentic behaviour. It emphasises that we are all unique individuals with our own personal truths and values, rather than relying on societal norms or expectations of how we should be. This understanding allows us to make conscious choices about how we live our lives, based on what is true for us rather than following external pressures or influences, which directly correlates with strategy and authority. Let's just say they work hand in hand. We're human. We're not perfect. We will all feel our not-self theme from time to time and not to fret.

I'll table this to a piece for another book because I could go on forever. Okay, moving back to human design. Auras are all unique, but in general, different energy types of human design will have auras that reflect their characteristics. There are some foundations that never waver. The generator and manifesting generator aura will be enveloping, strong, grounding, and stable. The manifest aura will be repelling, intense, and dynamic. The projector aura will be penetrating, mysterious, or reflective. The reflector aura will be sampling, highly sensitive and intuitive. The aura in the human design system each has a strategy.
