So much of the knowledge is revealed through your correctness, rather than the knowledge creating your correctness. When you are correct, themes that you've heard before stop becoming themes. You just realize it, you live it, you see it, and it is not something that is just a concept anymore.

Integrative Guidance
We are unique
The world of structures is built to homogenize people through deep conditioning. Yet we are here to experience, express, and emanate who we truly are. Human Design and Baantu are radically new ways to live authentically. Transforming these concepts and philosophies into daily life can be confounding. Here’s where having an experienced guide can be pivotal in your self-discovery journey.
Through integrative guidance, those called to explore life through the lens of Human Design and Baantu can be supported holistically as they expand their awareness, decondition, and ground this wisdom into their daily life.
Depending on our type – Manifestor/Initiator, Generator/Worker, Projector/Supporter, or Reflector/Drifter, our specific strategy and authority lead us to the correct use of our energy and life force. This is what is natural to us and it is the mind that insists on otherwise. Each type is a different vehicle for our consciousness and has its own specific kind of aura. How do we live our strategy trusting our body and design?
Our mind can insist on knowing the answer and it does have an answer for us. The question is – is it the correct one? We are conditioned to make decisions – what makes logical sense, what is safe, what do others want and expect from us, etc. Yet we have an inner compass, a way to hold authority over our own decision-making process.
Depending on our design, our authority may come from our Spleen, Sacral, Heart, Solar Plexus, or G center. For a small percentage of people, it is a process of sound boarding or through a lunar cycle.
Understanding what this means for us helps us reach clarity and come to what is right for us.
There are 12 profiles that further differentiate us from others, even if we are the same Type. The profile reflects our binary consciousness – our Personality consciousness and Design consciousness. What we are aware of and what we grow to become aware of.
Along with our incarnation cross, this aspect of our genetic makeup provides a wealth of information about our role in life and our purpose. We may have a personal destiny, impersonal destiny or both, which determines how our energy and life path manifests.
We can have a single, split, triple, and even quadruple definition. This reflects how the defined centers are connected and whether they have other people or planetary transits bridging the splits in their design. Understanding your definition gives you insight on the relative time needed to process, how fixed you are, what are healthy and correct ways to be with other people, etc.
In Human Design there are 36 channels connecting the 9 energy centers through 64 gates. What gates are active for you? Are they conscious, unconscious, or a mix of both? What channels are in your design? What does it mean to have no active channels?
With these channels, we have three primary circuits that are Collective, Communal or Tribal, and Individual. As these names suggest, our energy is different depending on whether we have more individual, tribal or collective circuits or social ties and obligations.
Along with these circuits, we also have four Self-Survival or Integration Channels. These are a subset of the Individual Circuit and people with any of these channels are unapologetically here for self-empowerment. While they may come across as self-centered, there is a purpose and beauty to them.
Understanding your channels and circuitry gives further insight into how you connect with other people (or don’t) and what is correct for you.
