Dear Friend,

You are embarking on your journey of deep personal discovery. We invite you to settle in, remain receptive, reflect, and re-discover your True Self. As you peruse your information, you will find descriptions about your nature, your tendencies, your actions, and more within your portrait.

Your Human Design True Self Portrait (HDTSP) defines how you operate and remains consistent with no regard for who is around you or what is happening in your world. You are still you, and you are designed to be your True Self.

Nothing in your HDTSP is right or wrong. Let all you feel and experience as you explore be okay. Many people new to Human Design have several “aha” moments as insight and understanding of how and why we operate in certain ways and patterns become clear. Our design remains consistent and we get to choose our perception, our perspective, and our opportunities. Nothing changes who we are. We get to make our choices about where we are in terms of our consciousness, our purpose, and our power.

Within your HDTSP, you will find consciously written information about your personal design. You will see not-self descriptions and True Self descriptions. We purposely included not-self descriptions for your awareness, and we invite you to focus on your True Self opportunities.

If you are familiar with Human Design, we believe you will find Conscious Life Language new, refreshing, and empowering as you understand and choose to remember your True Self. Descriptions in your HDTSP are written in first person. We write using Conscious Life Language as we choose to live in our here and now, being personal, direct, active, empowered, and rooted in ownership. Every ‘I’ and ‘my’ belongs to you and can be meaningful and powerful when read aloud. Our phrasing invites your inner recognition and full feeling, both in your mind and your body.

If you are new to Human Design, you will find explanations and diagrams to guide you through complete understanding. Many elements make up your HDTSP and shape your True Self Being. If you require more information about new terms, remember to check our Glossary.

Your HDTSP moves in gentle order with every section building upon what came before, allowing your insight to land in your full authority. You may also meet your conditioning*: patterns picked up from your outside world, shaping you over time. Conditioning can align beautifully with your nature, or conditioning can invite you to move you into your True alignment.

Your elements are presented and ordered specifically as you move from macro to micro within your HDTSP, beginning with your Type and ending with your Channels. As you move through individual elements in your HDTSP, remember all your elements play together perfectly with each part adding deeper insight and meaning.

Beneath nuances of your Type, Strategy, Authority, and Profile, you will find deeper mechanics. You may recognize your tendencies as steady, familiar, and consistent, day after day. If you wonder about how you are operating in your now moments, your Strategy and Authority remain your close, steady guides.

Ahead, you will find specific information and diagrams showing your chart mechanics included in your HDTSP. We have further resources for your continued study when your curiosity arises for deeper exploration.

Is now your time to remember? We trust your Human Design True Self Portrait will provide beautiful insights and gently remind you of your True Self. 

Welcome, again. We are honored to walk beside you.

Love,

Bambaji and Cynthia

*Note: Conditioning can move you off-track and into your not-self. If you find yourself aligned occasionally with your not-self descriptions, give yourself grace. You can get stuck in not-self and excuse lower frequency behavior by blaming your design. Your True Self always, and in all ways, exists within you, and with your conscious awareness and practice, you can easily realign within your True Self.
