Body
The Extraordinary Power of
Being You
Director of the International Human Design
School, Lynda Bunnell, explains how we can
find our way back to the beautiful expression
of who we are uniquely designed to be and
achieve our fullest potential
We are born to differentiate and to be a unique
expression of the whole. And, we are born with
all the tools we need to live our lives uniquely
as ourselves. There is an exhilarating freedom
in loving your life and loving who you are. If
so, then why are there so many unhappy and
frustrated people in the world today?
How many people do you know don’t feel
they’re living the life that’s right for them? Do
you have everything you thought you needed
to be happy, but somehow you still aren’t?
Parents only want the best for their children,
to help them live happy and successful lives.
Unknowingly our parents, siblings, peers,
teachers, religion and culture teach us to
behave in a homogenised fashion. Slowly,
but surely, we are taught to conform, to be
more like the others and follow a pattern of
behaviour which fits nicely into the idea of ‘the
norm.’
After a lifetime of trying to become more like
this one or that one, how do you find your way
back to the beautiful expression of who you
are uniquely designed to be?

It’s about unlearning and letting go of all the
things you were taught to be, or what you think
you should be, that are not YOU. You can learn
to be aware of how your own inner authority,
your body’s innate intelligence, can help you
discover the life you’re meant to live. You have
a deep inner wisdom waiting to be uncovered
which can help you course-correct your life
and reveal the path to your highest potential.
It may sound simple; however, it does take
some time and awareness to undo years of
conditioning. What if you had a personalised
user-manual for life, your life? What if there
was a system based on your unique DNA that
contained a profound knowledge allowing you
to self-discover the truth of who you really are?
Would that be worth experimenting with?
Discovering the truth of who you really are
can transform your life at any age. I was
a successful businesswoman in my early
forties. As a successful and well-established
businesswoman in Southern California in the
1990’s, I thought I had achieved everything
anyone was supposed to need to be happy.
Yet, I wasn’t. There was a huge disconnect
between what my mind thought and my own
inner truth. And, no amount of exploration
through a multitude of self-discovery systems
had succeeded in making that connection or
filled the void deep inside of me.
And then a new chapter began in 1998 while
vacationing in southern Spain. My travelling
companion, a spiritual seeker like myself,
had brought some cassette tapes with her,
describing a whole new system for personal
transformation. We listened as we roamed the
hillsides in our car. Little did I know that this
man’s amazing encounter while on a tiny island
in the Mediterranean – only a few miles from
where we were at the time – would turn my life
upside down and inside out. The man’s name
was Ra Uru Hu and he was speaking about The
Human Design System.
Since then, as I’ve surrendered to my inner
wisdom, life has taken me in unexpected
directions to satisfying destinations I couldn’t
have dreamed of for myself. Human Design
has not only shown me why my early successes
in life had left me feeling empty, it set me on a
unique path that has brought me to a fulfilling,
challenging and satisfying life; and to the writing
of The Definitive Book of Human Design, The
Science of Differentiation.
Human Design reveals many things, including
important innate personal guidance tools we
possess. Here are four of them:
Type and Strategy is your mode of operating
in the world, which is how best to interact on
a day-to-day basis, putting you in your natural
flow of life and with others around you.
Your Personal Authority is how best to make
decisions. The importance of making decisions
that are correctly aligned with your body’s
innate intelligence cannot be underestimated.
Who you Are and Are Not is about what you
can rely upon. Once we know ourselves, and
how we are uniquely designed, the self-doubt,
shame, and comparison to others ends.
Your Profile is how you present yourself to the
world. We are beautifully unique and knowing
our profile and the profile of those we love,
helps to deepen our personal self-acceptance,
self-love and the love and appreciation of
others.
Like me, thousands have found their own
truth by stepping onto the path of this journey.
Once you too, begin to grasp your uniqueness,
and to understand you aren’t designed to
be like anyone else, you will experience the
exhilarating freedom of living the person you
were born to be. It’s never too late for you to
start living the fullest expression of who you
are – personally and professionally.
Through Human Design I was given a renewed
sense of who I am, and how to align my life
with my passion and motivation to help others
make the same changes in their lives. During
all those years of working a ‘job’ I never had a
clue how satisfying life could be when who we
are is aligned with what we do.
My dream is for people to reach their fullest
potential by aligning themselves with their
true self and lifework; by understanding their
strengths, talents and gifts; and by having
practical tools that will bring all that they
are forward into the world. My goal is that
individuals and businesses discover how to
work in a way that is harmonious and successful,
so that we can each have a real opportunity to
live a balanced life on all levels. The value of the
ripple effect this has on our children, family,
friends and the world is incalculable.
How can you discover the truth of how truly
extraordinary and powerful you are?
You can start by becoming aware of
how you make decisions in your life.

Are you constantly thinking about what
you should do or what others think you
should do?
Do you frequently compare yourself to
others?
Do you have a feeling that you aren’t
worthy?
Are frustration, bitterness, anger or
disappointment showing up as a result of
your decision-making?
Or, do you make your decisions from a
place deep inside of you that simply ‘knows’
what to do – your own inner authority?
