“You living out your authentic reflector self allows the rest of us to liberate ourselves from a world obsessed with prescriptions and definitions”
~ Ra Uru Hu, Human Design Founder

Being a human design reflector is powerful stuff: you are a mirror reflecting everyone and everything around you
.
.
What does this mean in real life?
You are incredibly unique. You have the ability to perceive what is happening in your environment at all times. You have a deep sensitivity and can spot when a vibe is off long before anyone else can.
In addition to sensing your environment, you amplify the energy you take in. Essentially, you feel everything people around you are feeling but on a bigger scale.
If that sounds like a lot, let’s look at how to make it all work for you:
It is important to realise that whatever you are feeling or perceiving is not your own. Your ability to see below the surface makes you hypersensitive, and this sensitivity is your superpower. Your wisdom lies in your ability to reflect what others cannot see, without attachment or judgment.
Even though you take on the energies of your environment, you are not meant to hold on to them. You are sampling different energetic flavours because they hold intelligence either for yourself, or for you to pass on to others.
Detach yourself from popular self-development mantras such as “you have to find yourself” or “you have to be/know who you are”. None of these are energetically correct for you because you can be someone different in any given moment depending on who you are with. You are a chameleon and a shapeshifter and that is part of your magic.

How do I know where to put my energy?
Great question! As a reflector, your human design strategy is to wait a lunar cycle.
This means that you are not meant to make big, life-altering decisions instantly, or even after sleeping on them. Since you “taste” the energy around you, your decisions can easily be influenced by the feelings or opinions of others. Take extra time to slowly gain clarity over what is the best option for you. You are someone who needs a lot of time to let the answers come to you.
In a world that expects instant results, taking time and consideration over important decisions is unusual. Part of getting comfortable with taking your time is learning to trust that the right people, opportunities, jobs, etc will still be around when you are ready to make a commitment. It is worth remembering that unmaking a hastily made wrong decision can also take a lot of your precious time and energy later.

How do I know that I’m doing it “right”?
No worries, human design has got your back! There are two feelings that are here to give you clues about whether you are on the right track or not:
When you are living in alignment with your energy, you feel a sense of surprise, like finding everything around you delightful. You feel free to see the world with a sense of awe and wonder.
When you are not living in alignment with your natural energy, you are likely to feel dull, heavy, low-level depressed, ungrounded or a bit lost. These feelings of disappointment are never a bad thing. They are simply your personal wake-up call to look at how you have been spending your energy and invite you to readjust until you are back in the flow of life.

Highlight Reel
- You are here to “taste” the energy of your environment. This gives you information on what is and is not right either for yourself or for your social or work environment.
- You need to sample rather than become consumed by other people’s energy and maintain a healthy balance between social and alone time.
