Generator Human Design
I’ve got a real soft spot for the Generator in Human Design. They’re often overly simplified and overlooked in day to day life as they go under the radar of the intensity of the Manifestors and Manifesting Generators, but have enough energy to keep up. And they’re not quite as laid back as the Projectors. Although they’re a more common type, they tend to blend in a little bit and I think that’s a real shame, because their gifts are incredible. We as a society have to change to recognise the real gifts of the Generator in Human Design. And we need to stop taking advantage of their hard working nature.
Anyway, rant over.
Famous Generators: Beyonce, Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah
Key Facts
The most common Human Design energy type - around 38% world population.
You are here to lift other people up!
You house the life force energy for the rest of us to keep us going.
Natural 'doers' and relish in getting things done.
You are really here to live life to the fullest.
Always have a defined sacral which they are ruled by. Lifeforce energy.
Who they are in society: The doers. Boundless energy to keep going. Like to get things done, relish in carrying projects to the finish line. The 'worker bees'.
As a Generator in Human Design you need to understand
Historically your type has been taken advantage of by the manifestors. It's a bit like the CEO and the workers relationship between you two. Generators were taken advantage of for manual labour jobs and within workshops, so there is still some stigma and ancestral wound patterns around this energy.
You are the life and soul of the party - everyone wants a generator around them to lift them up!
Your life force energy is consistent but also precious, don't waste it!
Your strategy is to respond. So as a generator in human design you need to get out there and live life. And if opportunities to grow aren’t coming your way, you’re in the wrong places with the wrong people I’m afraid.
The universe will keep dropping things in to your life for you to try. You need to always be aware of what's going on around you an what opportunities are being dropped in, so you can then respond with 'yes' when something lights you up, makes you excited, or makes you giddy.
You will express when you are excited by something - butterflies, squeels, shreaks, giggles. Take notice. Begin to notice the excitement in your voice and vocal levels too.
Your desires are you compass. It is not selfish to follow them.
Your not self theme is frustration. When you feel frustrated, you’ve not done something you wanted to.
Your self theme is satisfaction. When you feel satisfied, you can rest easy and keep doing what you’re doing.
Conditioning of a Generator in Human Design
Being told you are not worthy of chasing your dreams and that you should be helping other people achieve theirs. This is where the old paradigm dynamic between the manifestor and generator comes in. Historically, generators were abused in this way, to help the manifestor achieve their dreams. This now needs to be reclaimed. YOU ARE WORTHY OF CHASING YOUR OWN DREAMS!
Being told you have to do things you don't enjoy doing. Again, another way of getting generators historically do to the dirty work. You do not have to put others first and sacrifice your own happiness to help others. You are here to live in the world of desires, Earth. You have carnated here to live within this desire-filled world. It is your sweetshop. ENJOY IT without feeling guilty!
"Wear your burnout like a badge of honour" brigade. A generator in human design should not be burning out because of that internal energy you produce. If you're burning out. you're saying 'yes' to too many things that should actually be a 'no.' You're leaking your energy all over the place and need to call it back.
Relying on the thinking brain too much - you need to feel answers and responses by using your body responses.
TOP TIP: Don't ask a generator in Human Design (or an MG) an open ended question... ask them yes/no/choice based questions to help them answer with their gut response. This will also give them the opportunity to practice trusting their gut response on small things.
If you know, or live with, a generator in human design, tell them when they've inspired you or lifted you up. It will really strengthen that relationship.
REMEMBER, FOR YOU, DOING NOTHING IS BETTER THAN DOING SOMETHING THAT LEAKS YOUR ENERGY. Give the 'hell yes's' a chance to drop in!
Next step for a Generator
You are here to lift others up, but it has to be on your terms.
Your consistent energy is only generated when what you're doing is a 'hell yes!'
Remember, you are worthy of all YOU desire.
Throw out the thoughts of 'I should do this' or 'I need to do that'
When you next feel burned out, reflect on where you've been leaking your energy by attending things that actually you didn't want to.
Practice trusting your gut response with small things. Remember the gut can take a while to give you a message, it's not instant like the manifestor energy. So, practice buying yourself time when people ask you to do something, to test out your gut response and avoid burnout.
Stop suppressing your responses, it's time to let them out. Squeal, giggle, enjoy the butterflies... these are your compass in life.
Practice talking to the universe to help you through the things you can't escape in the short term. "Universe, give me strength to tackle this." or "Universe, show me another way to do this task." AND THEN PRACTICE YOUR AWARENESS AND RESPONDING WHEN ANOTHER OPTION COMES IN.
