The Manifestor is the most alluring and envied of the four Types within the Human Design System. Why? They are the only Type capable of acting alone in their words. They are the talent; the one who scores the points, wins the prize, and gets to the finish line quickly. Their powerful energy commands attention. Does all this sound too good to be true? Do they walk on water also? Not entirely, there is more.
Before we look at how the Manifestor aligns with their Design to authentically market their business, let’s look at both their victories and challenges.
They make up a small percent of the total population, approximately 8-9%. The famous Nike motto, “just do it” describe the attitude of Manifestors.
You may recognize a similar potency within these well-known Manifestors: George W. Bush, Al Gore, Al Pacino, Tom Cruise, Jennifer Aniston, Adolf Hitler, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Springsteen, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, and Robert De Niro.
Manifestors can suffer from feeling burden with responsibility for not only their successes but those they interact with. Deep inside, they know they have a gift to do and be more than most people. They can only help those people who allow the Manifestor to initiate. When others resist or question the Manifestor – their power is diminished and can result in them getting angry.
Have you ever questioned a Manifestor actions?
Most Manifestors were raised to be obedient and to go along with social norms. From this early programming, most Manifestors hesitate their originality and leadership. They can feel guilty for their power and in turn, volunteer or give away their authority. Another caution for Manifestors is they can become a workaholic. It is quite easy for them to start a new project, contract, or even a business. But then they are faced with all the details that follow. Coming to the Human Design education can both explain these shortfalls and empower them, more so than any other Type.
Their kind of life force can be misunderstood as wild and unpredictable. They are designed to take action. Period! Their role is to get “it” or others going. These burst of energy are best when they can be followed a time away for rest. It is the role of the Projector to guide the project and the role of the Generator to build and sustain it.
Their unique warrior energy doesn’t naturally attract allies. They’re often the last person to leave the office. Devoid of their strategy to include and inform others, most have the defeating habit of keeping on the task and being busy. These habits were learned from being raised with and watching Generators (70% of the population). Manifestors are not wired to sustain their projects.
Even though their energy can feel like the loudest marching band at the Rose Bowl parade. Underneath, you’ll find the mascot from the winning football team.
Ideally, the Manifestor knows how to harness their power. They orchestrate their environment, which allows extra freedom and space for their creative flash. They accomplish a lot in a short time and take breaks or retreats.
Manifestor Marketing Strategies
For a Manifestor that is a business owner or manager, they need to be clear about who is their ideal client or audience and how their product or service will improve their lives.
A Manifestor is most effective when they have a support team and feel peaceful about their actions. No matter the size of the group, project, or business, take time during your day to access your energy output. To elevate your potency, here are a few questions to consider through your day.
- Who initiated this project?
- Did I volunteer to take action?
- What are the short term and long term effects of my actions?
- Who on my team/family needs to know about my actions?
- Who else can support our results?
The marketing channel for Manifestors doesn’t matter. Seek out ways that reach the most people at one time is best, such as, public speaking, radio, workshops, articles, or books. When Manifestors come from their relaxed center of knowing, and their team is on board, they can meet and fulfill their purpose.
Go ahead, Manifestors! Your community is waiting.

Great article Nattalee, thank you. The most important thing I’m learning as a Manifestor is the art of resting and relaxing :) Instead of saying yes to every project and opportunity now, I’m saying no because I want to conserve my energy. I’ve learned over the years that trying to be a Generator and saying yes to everything has truly exhausted me. Because I knew I could do any project well, I though I had to. However, most of it was fueled by my open emotional system and open Root, wanting to please others and wanting to be free. Now, while I wait for my authority to say yes, the energy of restraint will allow me to build up large reservoirs of energy for when I do say yes and am ready to initiate something.
Dear Trista…You are wise beyond your years. You’ve made such great progress in just a few months. thanks for posting so other M’s can learn & be inspired to do less and rest more. Blessings, Nattalee
A manifestor is is about to come out. I am not like the others in that I have all the elements to actually manifest that which other’s desire. I have been preparing for this day and it has taken many years for God to insure I have been trained up well.
You who know what a true manifestor is should understand what I speak of today. Stay tuned. Mike
8% true manifestors? I don’t think so. Ther are but only .05% who are completelty in touch with their abilities.
We are waiting… :) Keep us posted Michael
…wait, I just figured out to be around a manifestor. Thanks for your knowledge!
Hi Dane
Please share with us your insights.
Manifestor REALLY want to impact others; them more the better. Some over-give because they are acting like a Manifesting Generators. With time and integration of their Design they can make an impact without it costing them loss. Cost can show up in loss of health, feeling overwhelmed from volunteering their energy, things like that.
I find it best with Manifestors in my life to tell them or inform them of what the situation is. Then, wait (I’m a Generator) for them to decide if they are going to give their time/energy or if they are in agreement. If you want to help them be a better M. then inform instead of ASK. Plus, keep in mind, it really depends on how aware they are of their Type and Strategy.
Does your Manifestor understand and apply their strategy (inform before acting)? Does your Manifestor understand how their aura functions (repels and clears interference).
In any partnership or collaboration it is key each person has an understand of the basics of each type.
Trista’s story is so similar to mine! I have always tried to please everyone and say yes to every project, because I know I can do it. But do I WANT to? Right now I am taking time to rest and relax and figure out what I want.
Saying no makes me feel guilty, it’s a true challenge not to be distracted by that. Sometimes I am afraid that I will lose everything by saying no.
Society’s rules are so different from mine. It’s that friction I have to deal with every day. Sometimes that friction wears me out, sometimes it’s my fuel to get things done.
It’s a hell of a job to stop acting like a generator, especially because they are all around me. They always look at me in a puzzled way. I can feel them thinking: who ARE you?! And what are you going to DO to me?!
Luckily I have a projector friend who is not afraid of me and asks the right (sometimes very annoying) questions at the right moment. WHAT are you doing? And WHY? And why are you holding back?
It’s quite a journey, knowing you’re a M, it has turned my life upside down. No, it used to be upside down. :) It’s like I’ve been given a brand new car with lots of horse power, but I don’t know how to drive it yet. I’m frightened I will cause accidents, so I’m driving with one foot on the gaspedal and the other one on the brake. I guess it’s all part of deconditioning. :)
Sandra
One foot on the gas and one foot on the break is an excellent strategy for a newbie. Easy does it… With a caring Projector at your side you’ll get feedback, validation and support to turn “it” upside right. Eventually you’ll TRUST you’re Inner Authority more. When you tune into the friction or resistance from others, you’ll know when to hit the gas or exit stage left.
Congratulations on your willingness to experiment. It takes courage to go through the discomfort and confusion.
Thank you for sharing your experiments. It will have an impact on others.
Nattalee
I can fully relate to Trista and Newbie M feedback. I am in the same journey and new to HD. Being a Splenic-Manifestor, and always rushing to get things done (open root/SP/G/Sacral) and all other defined centers have been hard experience. I have been a people pleaser and go-getter. Discovering HD was a relief. I am currently working on self-worth topic and building awareness muscles. I have a MG friend who is in similar journey and has been a great support. We share our challenges, victories, doubts, worries, etc…and these conversations has given positive outcomes.
I have been resting most of the time, and now the challenge has been – Until when? The mind says….”You need to work, you can’t keep on resting and DO NOTHING”. Having a 1/3 profile, I have developed a beast inside me, who criticizes me for everything I do or don’t, no matter how bad or good. It’s never good enough.
I ll take it step by step. My mentor says..”Observe and do nothing.When you think there is a problem, that thought is exactly the problem”
Thank you, Rajivo, for sharing your experience. How fortunate for you to have a Human Design travel buddy.
It is a journey to the Self and having companions to share in the victories and the messy makes all the difference. Well done.
That, along with a very wise mentor tells me you will come to a place of self-love and tame that beast inside of you.
Bravo!
Nattalee
Hi Nattalee,
I’m glad that I found your site!
The HD is something very new for me. I founded in fact yesterday.
Sorry about that, but maybe now is the right moment for me.
I understand that I’m “Manifestor”.
When I read about M. I found so many similar tings for me,…my character, my problems with the people around me.
I fill some kind of suspiciousness in them when I met someone for the first time. I fill myself like an Alien, like people want to protect of me!
And always this Control, I can’t deal with this problem.
Thank you so much for knowledge!!!!
I have read a lot of HD to understand more about myself an how to work with my Design!!! :))
Human Design can answer many questions: about ourselves, our relationships, our struggles and why sometimes ‘things’ can work out very easy for us. I understand, Manifestor can feel alien, that is normal…if that makes sense. The more you understand about how to use your energy so that not only you benefit but those around you, magic is possible. Enjoy the adventure.
Thank you for stopping by my site.
Nattalee
Nattalee,
Wow, what a wonderful explanation in simple language about the challenges of Manifestors in business.
My current challenge is my relationship partner who is an increadibley intelligent Project has been trying to help me in my business. I have an idea of what I want him to do. He ‘sees’ all that needs to be done but is not into the doing until I get my marketing message clear. I have struggled and struggled with defining what I do and until I get clear in writing my projector partner won’t help.
What is the most effective way for a manifestor and a projector to partner in a business so the projector doesn’t get burned out and the manifestor blocked?
Monique
Hello Monique,
Thank you! I’m glad my article struck a cord with you.
To answer your general question, the best way for Projector (P) and Manifestor (M) to work together is for the M. to come to terms with their work-a-holic tendencies. Everything in life is not about creating a new product line or revenue stream – unless, they have a team of people to support their creative fires. Since most don’t, Ms. need to get more realistic about what can be accomplished in a given time frame. (not easy) Ps. need to set clear boundaries about how much work and effort they can give to the M. requests.
In your case, I applaud your P. relationship for being clear about what they can and cannot do! Their insights and direction are far more valuable than doing the ‘do’. Even when you get clearer about your message, take and appreciate the guidance from your P and contract with a couple of Generators (G). My joke to M’s is they need 10 Gs to keep up and support them. – really – I’ve been around enough of them to see how they operate.
All the best!
Nattalee
What are some great careers and or businesses for manifesters to be in?
Donna,
Generally speaking, a manifestor can be any profession he or she chooses. Their role is to make an impact on or get others into action. This role can be fulfilled many ways; as a speaker, author, actor, radio announcer, doctor, computer scientist, the list could go on and on. It’s important for them to have a support system in place so that they are not doing all the ‘doing’ . They need generators around to sustain what they innovate and begin.
In a more specific analysis, a manifestor can craft their profession based on their experiences, preferences, education and plan for their future.
Thank you for the opportunity to serve.
Nattalee
This is a great site – thanks. So this is interesting as I’m a manifesting generator and considering what career choice would be best for me. Can you lend some insight into what would work best??
thank you, Wam for stopping by.
The great thing about Human Design, and now the Genius Report, is that I can get very specific about giving career advice and assisting you in creating a work enviroment and relationships that really satisfy you. Just knowing your type would not be enough to make any suggestions.
Follow you passion and what lights you up. the clues are right there.
Nattalee
Does this apply to manifesting generators as well? How do they best do marketing?
Hello Casey
Thank you for stopping by my website. Manifesting Generators are not Pure Manifestors and they are not pure Generators. However, if you have your Sacral Center defined that you must consider the strategy of the Generator, respond. Manifesting Generators do best when they discipline themselves to slow down and notice how (and what) they use their energy.
If you, are a Manifesting Generator & you’re acting as if you’re a pure Manifestor, it will create frustration for you because the motor of the Sacral needs to be engaged. Your Sacral needs to be consulted first to find out IF you have the energy to “do” what ever you’re about to go and do.
Remember this is not perfection here. Some times, you just can’t help yourself and you’re in Manifestor mode. Give yourself permission to make course corrections and inform others that you need to stop what you’re doing and give your energy in another direction.
I hope this helps.
Blessings on your journey,
Nattalee
Hi there!!! I was thinking I would have needed a place like this and i gladly found it!!!
I’m a M. Of course ( ego and 5/2) in relationship with an Emotional M. ( 1/3 )… I know that according to HD type relationships are “best”, but when we are talking about parenting, any idea? Suggestions? We matured the idea we would like kids, but those two open sacrals… We define our sacral when we are together though….
Thanks!
Marino, This is an old thread. I am new to human design and have the same chart as you. Manifestor, ego authority and 5/2. We seem to be uncommon. I’m wondering how you’ve sorted out your design and being in relationships. I’d love to connect somehow.
Katrina
Congratulations, Katrina for discovering Human Design! You are very wide seek from others who can share their experiences as the same Type, Profile and IA.Indeed very unique. Let us know how your journey unfolds.
I sent a message to Marino to connect with you.
Bright blessings,
Nattalee
Hi Katrina,
Discovering HD was a great relief and offered long awaited answers… Why people are so frightened by me, why they always want to control and above all why have I been called selfish since when I was a little child ( and counting )… Being in a relationship with another manifestor is also a great relief for me… At the moment I’m concentrating on de-personification, trying to understand when something doesn’t belong to me… With 7 out of 9 open centers I’m deeply, deeply , deeply opened to conditioning… Learning that a bad feeling or thought or physical dis ease could not be mine but kindly offered by the aura of the person I might happen to be close to is another great relief….
Thank you, Marino for your contribution and impact to Human Design audience. I appreciate your inner knowing to observe and then observe some more to your experiences. This process is priceless wisdom for all who choose to experience the potential of the Design. I bow to thee.
Bright Blessings,
Nattalee
Fabulous. Thank you for your insight. I have been deeply conditioned as a child, not sure how much now. Going to continue practicing self awareness and knowing what is mine and what is ither.
You are not alone, Katrina – most of us have.
“Self-awareness” is all there is. Just notice, even when you react in a way that you wish later you would not have. It is all about observing the movie.
Love yourself,
Nattalee
Hi there, thank you so much for your words!
I am working more and more with the Human Design.
I am Manifestor and since I have heard about this I UNDERSTAND
what is and what was going on. With ne and others.
It is so informing and helps me very much.
Greetings from Germany
Many thanks for stopping by my site. Manafestors who inform before they act are have so much more inner peace and harmony in their relationships. Such a easy thing that makes such a huge difference.
All the best on your journey,
Nattalee
Hi Ginna! Thank you for the information. First of all im new to this human design thing i dont quite understand except types. Im a manifestor for sure yeap it surprised me really. I have always doubted myself about do things because my early environment was poor so most of the time i couldn’t afford a “just do it” or my parents were too pushing too ordering so i kind of closed myself to all of their expectations even if this thing is my greatest dream whatever its just stained with expectations. So i just waited the time i can be a free individual and i invested my energy in this goal. And lately i finished my law school. But because of i neglected my “do it” side i cant be sure right now if i can be a lawyer we’ll see . What do you think gina i can handle?
Thank you, Karen for stopping by.
The word “manifesting” get confused. The energy of a Manifestor is active, in spurts. When the energy is on and acting according to their inner authority many things are possible. The energy can be to straighten out a closet, walk across the room or build a business…it just depends. The word manifesting, in Human Design terms has deeper meanings. It can take years to learn the layers of meaning of ‘manifesting”.
In your case, Karen I would need to have more information to help you come up with your answer based on your Design. That is what I do. I am an adviser. It is your decision to what to give your energy to.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like support making this important career decision.
Warmly,
Nattalee
Hi Nattalee, please help! I have a 15 year-old manifestor and I do not know how to deal with him. He refuses to follow any rules, occasionally lies and is very spiteful. Asking him to inform me of his plans hasn’t worked. How do I introduce him to some human design guidelines to help things between us?
Thank you, Nancy. Your comment brings back memories when my son was that age. He too was not so inclined to follow my requests and guidance.
If your son’s rebellion is causing harm, I urge to get professional assistance through his school or other social services. If he is spiteful, he’s not likely to follow your wish that he learn about Human Design. If he is, there is a few recordings on line that address children/teens that Ra recorded. You could start there.
All the best,
Nattalee
Stumbled across this article this morning after discovering I am a manifestor.. ( LOL, I first heard of Human Design yesterday, yet my whole business is set up around the ability to manifest abundance…) – thanks for sharing your info. I loved it. :)
Thank you, Jaki for stumbling by. Did you intuitively know that you are here to inform and impact others?
Peaceful journey down the Manifestor path.
Nattalee
Hello all,
I came across human design through a friend. Who kept stating there are 4 types and she was a projector – a rarest kind.. I through out my life has been marked as someone who is way too wise for my age, I advice and influence people. I have noticed that I am very aggressive and defensive when someone tries to box me with preset notions. People tell me I am crazy cause of my never ending fertile imagination and creative crazy jokes I crack and also how hyper I am with never ending energy.
I have always seen people drawn to me who needs a direction and never understood what they see within me and why they have so much confidence to confide their little secrets and most personal things to me.
After introduction to Human design, I finally found that I am a 1/4 type manifestor with splenic awareness manifested and have cross of maya.
I always use to think why I acted certain way and this did give me some insight on my nature and way i operate.
Bravo for connecting with Human Design. Such freedom. Yes!?
Thanks for stopping by.
Nattalee
Wonderful article, Nattalee – thank you! I have a question about being a 2/4 Profile, who is supposed to “wait for the call.” How does a 2/4 Profile Manifestor like me approach marketing beyond having clarity on my ideal client, and my authentic passion and expertise… if I am to both “wait for the call” and “just do it” and not wait? Appreciation & Gratitude to you!
thank you, Lisa for stopping by. Such a great question. It may sound contrary, “waiting for the call” and “initiating” but I think the 2 work together. Manifestor have impact and can get others in action, these come from the Inner Authority – clarity first. When we are aligned with our decisions and soul path, the call is there (if that is part of your Design). For example I’m a 6/2, my Hermit waits for calls. When I look over my life, each significant study I’ve taken on over came as a call, either literally, figuratively or both.
I invite you to look over your history of when you acted and when you were called. Did they work congruently for you?
I would love to hear how other 2/4 Manifestors have experienced getting a call.
Blessings on your journey,
Nattalee
Thank you, Nattalee. Pondering my history of action vs. being called… The misuse of my energy by pushing the river and pushing myself certainly has resulted in ineffective depletion. Would you clarify the “clarity first” piece? Are you referring to emotional clarity on soul path as well as ideal client, authentic passion, expertise and who/what the team is…?
Gratefully,
Lisa
In this context “clarity first” is ‘right’ action. As a Manifestor, they move very quickly when the light is green, so to speak. They can get massive amounts done in short times. This potential happens only when they can be free of the resistance of others (and their own self-doubts or conditioning). I’m referring to daily clarity, or clarity to initiate other. The clarity come from within, from the energy field around, the people involved and your own inner motivations. Of course, there is a bigger picture of soul path, but not my intent to bring that to this forum.
Blessing,
Nattalee
Hi,I discovered Human design and helping me to understand myself .But , a lot of things I still don’t understand and I am asking myself how to understand human design or what I am doing wrong . I am Manifestor, and everything I initiate doesn’t work. I lost money, time and energy and now I am afraid to initiate actions.If I inform what I will do, for sure will not happen.After I discovered Human design, i said, ok maybe I need to try more and to see what happend. I feel stuck. Nothing happend. Maybe you can help me to look to human design from other perspective. Thank you!
Thank you, Daniela. You’re not alone, almost everyone has had some similar experiences in life and “trying” to understand their Human Design. With what your saying here, in general, it sounds like your conditioning and or your ego programs have got you giving your precious energy for more chaos. The ego love chaos and to create problems. Hopefully you can find the humor in all of it … and find a Human Design professional that can help guide you out the quick sand.
Blessings,
Nattalee
Dear Nattalee,
I am woman Manifestor 3/5. I am almost 40 years old. Achieved many great things in life. Now facing a bankruptcy. Single, no kids. Extremely hard. Feeling lost and a loser. I would love to change a career. What is the beta career for 3/5 Manifestor ? What you suggest me, how to find back my confidence ?
Thank you,
Lena
Dear Lena, I can appreciate your feelings of disappointment and regret. I went through a similar situation around 40 as well. Taking it one day at a time is a good start. What can you do today to feel better about yourself? Or to pick up the pieces of has worked for you in the past?
Finding and continuing to engage with Human Desing is a great way to reinvent yourself with confidence. 3/5 are the great problem solvers of the world. They know everything that doesn’t work and then they can save others from the hardships they have encountered. Your career is one of your choosing that captures your skills,talents, desires, education and spirit. For starters, check your local library or career center for resources on careers ideas that match your interests.
There is still a lot of life left in you. In the not so distant future this setback can be one of your greatest contribution.
Be kind to yourself!
Nattalee
I’m married to an Emotional Manifestor. I’m a self-projected non-emotional Projector. It’s an amazing love story but it’s also like the house of horrific mirrors at a Carnival. I could say more but think it would be much easier, smoother and successful for me to marry another Projector instead
Hello Shakti
If/when the world is perfect, then we will all live/love Type with Type and Profile with Profile. We are just not that evolved.
Focus on the love and what has brought you together and let the rest of it be your entertainment. :0)
Having any sense of love in our lives is an amazing gift.
Enjoy!
Nattalee
Hi Nattalee!
As most in this thread, I’m new to human design, currently studying my chart… I’m a manifestor with a 4/1 profile, and I find this to be somewhat confusing, because a manifestor is to initiate, start something new, but at the same time my profile is fixed. Therefore my profile dictates for me to just wait and live, and my type tells me to initiate… Maybe you’ll be able to clarify this moment?
Hi Elizabeth, it is perfectly normal to feel confused. There are things in most people’s Design that contradict.
I would suggest:
The first thing to pay attention to is your Aura Type and Strategy. Keep a journal of the times that you inform, impact and find peacefulness in your Being. Give it about 6 mos. to really get the feel of that. I meet a lot of people who put too much focus to keep learning more about HD but they don’t slow down enough to really notice how each of these components show up in their life.
Later, after you feel you got grip on what it feels like to inform others and to initiate, then for the next bit of time, notice your Inner Authority.
As for your Profile, the Opportunist and Investigator (4/1) in you, that will mature with time and self-awareness. You will naturally recognize opportunities that come to you. If I did your analysis I would not advise you to wait for the opportunites. Some will come, some you will act on, some you will initiate. There is no hard fast rules here. Life brings all kinds of opporutines…to everyone.
Move with life and trust your instincts. Its ok to make a “mistake” that is how we learn and cultivate wisdom. I know it is hard for Opportunies to make “mistakes”, just do your best.
Enjoy the journey,
Nattalee
Hi Nattalee, I discovered I am a Manifestor, 2/4 profile. I always tried to hide my true self in order to be like others! I observed that my aura strongly repels when I first meet someone, and silly me, I tried to excuse myself :) My question is: how do others feel around me, after the first impression? Thanks!
Hi Laura. congratulations on discovering your human design. First impressions have many variables to consider, such as, the context of which you are meeting like at a friends wedding, an early AM flight at the airport, or a first-time coffee date. Plus, Who else is present and how do they know you or the other person.
That said, when we are true to our aura Type and follow our in authority we have a different relationship with ourselves. Over time we build trust that we get connected to/with people that are in harmony with us or the people where there is discord play only a minor role in our life. The operative word is Trust.
Be true to your self first and you won’t be so concerned about impressions. Remember when you inform other people that you are changing directions, literally or figuratively, you build relationships on trust. It is also helpful to be willing to tell others when you mess up.
You are way more powerful than you can imagine.
Thank you for asking.
PS sorry for the delay – I answered but it deleted itself. :(
Thank you so much for your reply! I appreciate the information you give.
I have a lot of Manifestor friends and clients. I have witnessed their transformation when following their Strategy and Inner Authority. It is a beautiful thing to see Manifestors experience Peace.
I’m honored to support you as well. :)
I just learned that I’m an Emotional Manifestor 5/2 Triple Split profile. I find this combination very conflicting and yet it is so telling. I look at myself in a whole new light.
I find it difficult to balance the energies of a 5/2 and a E Manifestor. Manifestor needs to be out to create impact. A 5/2 wants to be a hermit. This is like a theme of my life, one step out, one step in and stays in for a long time. Can you suggest ways to balance the energies?
I’m in my 40s, female, and I’ve to start my life from ground zero again. Not surprisingly, I’ve fingers in way too many pies. I enjoy the process of learning new things, starting new projects but never have the energies to sustain them. I find it difficult to work with the Gs around me. I just couldn’t communicate my thoughts well.
I had a major career fall few years ago. After these many years, I’m still ‘in the process of learning about myself’. I know I have become afraid of starting anything new. I’m afraid to fail again. I’m tired and drained. With every new thought, new idea, I will doubt it a million times. I become very very withdrawn to my own world. I’m beginning to recognize it is a problem and I should get out of my shell. However, I find it so terrorizing to step out.
Being a M and 5/2 triple split. I find it such a torture.
Hi Janice, I can appreciate your feelings and conflict within your Design. We all have ‘things’ in our Design that contradict themselves some are more extreme than others. Wonderful for you to find this out now so that you can be more compassionate and understanding of your plan for this lifetime.
Some possible ways to balance your energy, to go forward or hold back, could be: review all the projects, studies, people, activities that you are involved with and remove those that are an energy drain for you. Consider looking on Facebook for other manifestors, there are many human design groups there that may be able to offer you support. Another, is to indulge your hermit for certain days or a length of time and then counter that with investigating things that you feel passionate about.
Another tip for a triple split, is to be around people everyday for a short amount of time. I have a triple split manifestor client. She goes to the grocery store once a day, maybe she buys one thing or nothing at all. She reports that feels a lot calmer after she walks through the grocery store. She is not engaging in conversation but just being around other people seems to help her a lot.
I would be honored to coach you on the specifics of your Design to create personalized stratigies that work for you. There are other clues in your personalized chart that could help relieved you’re suffering, you call it torture.
Wishing you all the best in your human design experience.
Thank you for your question. Was this helpful?
Nattalee
Ra said it is very very rare for a 5/2 to come out of the shell. How will it apply to a Manifestor type?
Each person has their own way of coming out of the shell – Manifestors who follow their strategy to inform before the act and impacting others will find less resistance and anger. For a Manifestor your life is a journey to peace. What is peace for you?
“The Manifestor is the most alluring and envied of the four Types within the Human Design System. Why? They are the only Type capable of acting alone in their words. They are the talent; the one who scores the points, wins the prize, and gets to the finish line quickly. Their powerful energy commands attention. Does all this sound too good to be true? Do they walk on water also? Not entirely, there is more.”
Wow wow wow… no less ! That’s precisely the problem with mainstream Human design/spirituality. It became a tool for some people to create hierarchies between human beings. Saying that manifestors “are the talent” or that they are “the most alluring” is false and delusional (just watch the list of famous people and see there are plenty of “talented” and “alluring” people in all the types ; and that’s funny to believe manifestors “are the talent” and “the most alluring” people when projectors, for example, are the type that is most related to high skills, as well as they are known to be highly magnetic).. And it is also a dishonest use of Human Design, in order maybe to make some people feel better about themselves and give them the will to invest in some coaching. Of course, all the manifestors who read that are going to believe it, like many people would if someone told them they are in the 10% of the “chosen ones”. But it’s only a path to slow deception or useless hubris. This world doesn’t need more people who believe they are better than anyone else or that kind of bullshit, it needs people who love themselves and know their own value, without trying to diminish other people.
Thanks, Nana for your comments. I agree: “This world doesn’t need more people who believe they are better than anyone else or that kind of bullshit, it needs people who love themselves and know their own value, without trying to diminish other people.”
And to that point, I am humbled because I feel Human Design, in general, promotes isolation, separation, and plays favorites. I hold space for equality.
I wrote this article over 12 years ago. Back then, I was conditioned to “hype” and have been working that out of my system.
Every Type has its strengths and parts that fall outside of society’s accepted norms. Tougher for most until they can have the courage to be themself.
I stand corrected.
