Faith and Human Design
I’m writing this post for those of you who are curious and skeptical about Human Design, especially in regards faith. It's understandable that you may feel concerned about how Human Design fits with your faith, especially if it seems to contrast with your beliefs. I definitely questioned it when I was first introduced. But I learned that Human Design actually complemented my faith! And it can for you, too, no matter what belief system you follow. As someone who grew up in a Christian home, I'll focus on Christianity, but the insights can be valuable for other faiths as well.
First, let's clarify what Human Design is not. It is not fortune telling or worshipping the stars. It does not replace the Bible or any religious texts and doesn't require you to believe in anything. It's a neutral tool that can complement any faith you have.
Human Design is absolutely not a substitute for God. For me, God is the ultimate authority, guiding me in all ways. Human Design is simply a tool to help us appreciate our unique qualities - to show you how cool you are! By understanding ourselves better, we can deepen our relationship with God and hear His guidance more clearly. Just like any tool, you don’t need them all. You can achieve the same results using another tool. I've found that it gets results effectively and powerfully, so it’s a tool I often use.
Through my work with Human Design, I know I am helping many people. (go read the testimonies!) I pray before each session to receive divine guidance for helping my clients. This work brings people closer to God's love and helps them learn to love themselves—an essential part of loving God.
The Bible doesn't mention Human Design because it didn't exist then, just like it doesn't mention computers and cell phones. These tools can be used to help or to harm, depending on how we choose to use them. My point is to encourage you not to dismiss something that could benefit you simply because it doesn't fit into a traditional box.
How does Human Design align with Christian beliefs?
This question is important and understandable for many Christians. After much research, prayer, and personal experience, I've come to see Human Design as a complement to Christian faith:
Purpose and Intent: Human Design is about self-discovery and personal growth, not replacing faith in God.
Biblical Perspective: While the Bible warns against practices like divination (Deuteronomy 18:10-12), Human Design doesn't promote worship of celestial bodies or fortune-telling.
Stewardship of Gifts: Understanding your unique design aligns with biblical teachings about using God-given talents (1 Peter 4:10).
Free Will and Discernment: It is meant to be used as an experiment. If you feel curious, try it. If it doesn’t resonate or align with you. Then let it go. Just as I Thessalonians 5:21 says, test everything and hold fast to what is good.
Scientific Basis: It's a system for exploration rather than a dogmatic belief system.
Focus on Service: It encourages discovering how best to serve others, aligning with values of love and service (Galatians 5:13).
Approach Human Design with discernment and keep it in perspective within your faith journey. If you have concerns, pray about it, discuss it with people you trust, and explore whether it can be a helpful tool for personal growth while maintaining your Christian faith as your foundation.
The goal is to use Human Design to better understand yourself and fulfill your God-given purpose—not as a replacement for your faith or relationship with God.
