Imagine living a life where you are able to move forward with inspired action steps that come from your soul , rather than your logical mind or somebody else ’ s desires . What would that look like ? What kind of life would you create ?

According to Human Design , each of us has a specific blueprint for this particular life , including the way we naturally get an answer to a question . This built-in “ GPS ” system , or Inner Authority , doesn ’ t lay out the entire path before us but rather provides step-by-step direction that gets us where we need to be . Inner Authority is about how we are responding to life . When we use it the way we are meant to the response does not involve language or even the mind . It ’ s an energetic event that has us connected to the flow of life .
Using your Inner Authority requires ongoing practice because the logical mind is conditioned to take over . You may get an initial answer for yourself , but your ego and fear can keep you trapped in not taking action on the true answer you receive . It also requires practice because most of the Inner Authorities require some sort of process that can take time and patience . As a society , we have been trained to make decisions on the spot . This can take you on a longer , more challenging journey if your answer is made from the mind instead of your design . I explain the different kinds of Inner Authority below . ( To find out what your Inner Authority is , you can get a free chart at www . humandesignamerica . com / chart .)

Imagine living a life where you are able to move forward with inspired action steps that come from your soul , rather than your logical mind or somebody else ’ s desires .

through your intuition . You may not know why you ’ re getting an answer in a particular moment , but you must learn to listen for it and trust it , as your answer will only come one time for each situation . You have the ability to make instantaneous , snap decisions when you have the aha moment .
When you have Sacral Authority , your decisions are made in the gut with a verbal uh-huh ( yes ) or uh-uh ( no ). To get the answer , it has to come in the form of a question from an outside source . A good strategy to use for big questions is to have a trusted friend ask you yes / no questions about the situation , so you can listen for your answer in your gut . You have the ability to make your decision at the particular moment the question comes . Always trust your gut over your mind and be neutral in your expectations of the answer .
