How the shadow works in Human Design

Four Ways Coaches Can Use Human Design to Guide their Clients

Understanding how the openness in someone’s energy works within their bodygraph is a powerful tool to help clients align with their original blueprint & amplify their results…

And this skill set isn’t something that is exclusive to those that desire to coach Human Design, in fact, the majority of my students in the Human Design Coaching Academy use Human Design within their preexisting business model as a tool to see their clients individuality and notice where trauma, shadows and distorted patterns “live” within the body.

The graphics represent how the openness works through the not self vs alignment.  Here are five ways this knowledge empowers YOU as a coach to powerfully guide your clients:

The first thing we must understand is that even definition can have a distorted use of its energy.  This is called “unhealthy expression” vs the not self in the openness.  When we completely gloss over the definition we have the potential to miss where our client has become so identified with certain patterns that they don’t even realize those patterns, beliefs, directions, identities, etc aren’t “theirs” to hold anymore.

The second thing we must understand as coaches is that the not self, or shadow, can be expressed in any of the “white” areas of the bodygraph.  For example, you may have a client that has a defined ego confused on why they are always trying to prove their certainty.  That could easily be expressed in an undefined Ajna AND if you are able to ask powerful questions as a coach and really HEAR what your client is saying as you masterfully guide their energy it may be that they are trying to prove their skills and they have a hanging gate 48, living through the openness of Gate 16.

The third thing to keep in mind is that profiles can be experiencing unhealthy expressions as well.  The 4th line is a great example.  The 4th line karma is balancing aloneness with networking.  An unhealthy expression can lean too much into networking, constantly feeling like their business is a rollercoaster of highs and burn outs.  The 4th line can also lean towards not wanting to be around others therefore allowing the shadow to prevent them from showing up powerfully in their life/ relationships/ business.

The fourth thing to keep in mind is circuitry.  A highly individual chart will have natural melancholy within their design.  Add this to a sacral being that may be experiencing a plateau and this isn’t something we, or our clients, need to fix! It is a natural part of their process.  Having the tools to help our clients understand what is normal and what is shadow is a powerful way to help them feel at home in their body rather than constantly trying to “fix” themselves.

Human Design is a powerful tool, not just for those that desire to be a “Coach” but for anyone that is looking to really understand their clients on a deeper level and create profound transformation.  As we move into 2027, the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix, it is going to become even more critical that we are supporting everyone in their uniqueness….

And that uniqueness goes a lot deeper than just the centres or type.
