ANNA IS A HUMAN DESIGN PRACTITIONER AND A PIONEER IN MIAMI PROMOTING THE SCIENCE BEHIND HD.
Anna, could you tell us about your background?
I first came to the US as an exchange student back in 2006 after becoming a finalist of The Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX) Program, where I competed with thousands of other students for this prestigious scholarship award. It was my childhood dream. After spending 1 year in the U.S., my mind has completely expanded and I got to both imbibe the myriad of cultures and flavors of values, dialects, and foods from all over the world, and also share my own culture, language and world views with my new friends, teachers, and colleagues.
My life changed forever by this experience. I planned to finish my studies in International Economics in my motherland, Ukraine, and return to the U.S. Once I was back in 2011, I got swirled by the field of real estate, studying the ABCs with top brokers and experts and providing my services to people from all over the world.
For the last few years you have been intensively studying and practicing Human Design, how did it influence and inspire you?
When I was standing at the crossroads deliberating on the endless topic “what’s next?” the answer came from the Human Design System which is undoubtedly one of the most precious gifts I have ever received. Soon after noticing positive and qualitative changes in my life it became clear to me that not only did I need to incorporate this system into my daily routine, but also master it professionally in order to share it at a high and deep level with others. I always felt that pursuits of stereotyped goals society imposes on people get them carried away in directions which are often far away from their soul purpose.
I was surprised to learn in my own Human Design experiment how impactful my specific aura is and how to surrender to my inner authority in order to avoid situations which would not be useful for my growth and instead, engage in those which would increase my conscious awareness. I surely have become more peaceful and determined as my friends and family have told me. Also, I gained more understanding of my own purpose and what role I play in this complex mosaic of life. Hence, I got inspired to use my inherent gifts in influencing others and have already received many testimonials from people who have gained deep insights and “aha” moments in the answers they were seeking after consulting with me.
My own Human Design helped me map up their best genetic traits and gave them the courage to explore their gifts.
What is Human Design’s core focus?
I’d like to start off by emphasizing that our energy is the primary driving force of the vehicle we navigate on our daily basis “the body”, therefore, such energy must be invested correctly in order to produce maximum returns. Using the authority of the mind, meaning our power to make decisions, not only creates resistance but also adds frustration, bitterness, anger and disappointment in our lives.
Why does it happen? This is where the Human Design system comes into play. Our mind has no direct connection to even one of the 4 body motors that constantly, or not (depending on your unique design) produce energy to turn thoughts and ideas directly into manifestation. This is how unequipped our mind is to be relied upon in the decision-making process. Human Design system always refers to the “true self” and “not-self” where the true self is our body-centered intelligence versus the conditioned mental programming of the not-self.
Based on the explanation above, does this mean that our mind is no longer needed?
The mind is absolutely needed, but it has to be used correctly. One of my teachers compared the mind to a librarian who is very knowledgeable and knows the exact location of the books and files he manages. Does it mean the librarian must be a CEO? Not at all. All it means is that he possesses enough qualities to collect, process and conceptualize information.
Based on your unique experience, how do you perceive Human Design?
My own perception of Human Design incorporates 3 keywords: awareness, uniqueness, and quality. By designating our body and mind with their appropriate roles we start shifting and expanding our own awareness followed by receiving a unique experience that transcends our life to a whole new level of quality. Human Design is undoubtedly a very versatile study comprised of so many layers and angles making it the science of differentiation and self-discovery. It’s a synthesis of astrology, quantum physics, genetics, biochemistry, the Chinese I Ching, Kabbalah, and the chakra system.
How can such a complex study be applied in our daily lives?
Regardless of its complexity and depth there are 3 core components: type, strategy, and authority, and they can be instantly applied upon our session. There are 4 main types of human beings: Generators (The Builders), Projectors (The Guides), Manifestors (The Initiators), and Reflectors (The Discerners). Each and every one of us was born with a certain type that stays with us throughout our entire life. Using our personal Strategy and Authority helps us navigate our lives in an authentic, self-empowering way letting our thinking minds become objective observers versus ultimate decision makers.
How are type, strategy, and authority determined?
First of all I start with creating a personal Human Design body-graph which is calculated based on your birth data and shows mechanics of your true nature. It provides valuable information about your personality, characteristics, relationships, and features such as your talents and perspectives in life, your vulnerabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. By reading or keynoting (Human Design terminology) the body-graph I take people on an adventurous journey of self-exploration and discovery.
How fast do your clients start experiencing results?
Deconditioning (letting go of what we are not) is an empirical process where the Human Design System acts as a messenger that provides tools for experimenting with our Strategy and Authority. By applying these tools correctly not only do we start feeling more satisfied, successful, peaceful and surprised, but we also change the way cells function within our body. The experiment can be initiated immediately and results won’t keep you waiting. One of the most fascinating breakthroughs is when your mind little by little starts becoming an aware and awake passenger by simply enjoying the ride letting the unique body’s intelligence be your compass through life.
As a woman, how did this study influence your personal relationships and what have you discovered for yourself?
I understood my personal quest for love and its roots, my vulnerabilities and origins of my fears, as well as my capacity to powerfully impact other people. Based on my Human Design chart it became clear to me how I was built to give and receive love. I have asked this love question for many years and delved into astrology and other sciences to understand the human psyche, relationship dynamics and compatibility and yet, only Human Design gave me concrete and specific answers. I consciously entered this Human Design quantum experiment and by means of using specific tools like Strategy and Authority for my type as a Manifestor, I discovered how to turn my blindspots into conscious awareness and strength, how to transform my anger into peace. As a result, this experiment is beautifully unfolding into a paradigm where beyond time and space all the dots come together to decipher a complex yet very simple puzzle of life.
What advice would you like to give to women who are in search of their right career and perfect relationship in life?
Dear women, my best advice for you is to be truthful and honest with yourself. What is it that you really want? Switch your mind off for a second, feel it, embrace it and afford yourself to go for it! Don’t let illusionary fear of failure stop you by settling for less than your heart desires. Going into the unknown is always risky yet so worth the try!
Sometimes our biggest gifts come in ugly packages, and it’s only up to us to perceive them either as dead ends or as a divine driving force to grow, to overcome obstacles and to shine like a star! Together we can map out the best route for you to decondition from all the limiting beliefs, fears, and blockages that keep you away from experiencing your true self and the abundant range of opportunities the Universe has in store for you.
