Life With Lexis Kai

Hey family!

Welcome back to the blog! As promised, it’s Thursday, and in theme with my word of the year, I’m being consistent. Today’s topic is different from what I usually write about, but it’s still Life With Lexis Kai!

A few years ago, in 2021, I learned about Human Design from a popular astrologer I follow on Twitter, @ijaade. She was much more engaging and active then, which sparked my interest in the topic. I was already really into astrology and things like that, so it was already in my wheelhouse of interest. That was 4 years ago, and in that short time, I’ve read dozens of Bodygraph charts (all for free), listened to audiobooks, read plenty of articles and blog posts, and practiced using my strategy and authority every chance I get.

Notice on the site’s homepage that it says, “Welcome to my experiment.” Human Design teaches you that this journey we call life is more an experiment than anything else, with specific rules that apply only to you. It’s founded on the principles that you are a unique being, created perfectly, and that it’s easier to be who you really are than who you think you should be. My favorite principle is that you are perfect just the way you are and don’t need to be fixed (my Virgo heart just smiled!) 

I wrote a blog post a while back and a recorded YouTube video about Human Design, but neither clearly covered everything. Since revamping my site, I’ve been thinking more about how to maximize on it. Yes, I want this to be a place where I can share my journey, but I also want it to be where those who come across this can grow and learn in their own spiritual journeys. 

So today, I want to share how I used Human Design to understand myself, my children, and even my partner better than ever to change my life for the better.  

Human Design for Self-Discovery

When I was first introduced to Human Design, I was beginning a grand transition in my life. I was about to graduate from college, preparing for my move to Houston, and on top of that, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder 2. This diagnosis didn’t come as a shock because of hereditary traits, but it still took me a while to internalize. 

Here’s where Human Design came in for me. After learning more about the system and calculating my chart, I felt like I had a roadmap to help me blossom into my best self. I now had the tools and definitions to better understand myself. A great example is that I learned I have channel 3-60, The Channel of Mutation, active in my chart. This channel connects my Root (pressure) center with my Sacral (creative) center. Sometimes, I place such pressure on myself to change, grow, and become, and it pushes me into a deep melancholy. Maybe that melancholy can be attributed to my bipolar diagnosis. Still, something I read about the channel made me think otherwise. 

The energy generated from this channel is unpredictable and initiating energy; it is constantly changing like a pulse. This is the same energy that inspired me to start this blog. The same energy that pushed me to leave my hometown alone and relocate to Houston. So much was born out of my melancholic moments, but I didn’t realize this until I read a description of that channel. Before this, I tried to force myself out of these moods. Fake it till you make it, right. I didn’t realize there was power behind that sadness; I didn’t even know I could use it like that. I let it debilitate me regularly, depressive moments turning me into a shadow of myself. 

This is just one example of how Human Design has changed my life. Still, the biggest one is learning my strategy and authority. Long story short, your authority is how you make your decisions, while your strategy is how you find things to decide on. Being a Manifesting Generator (or MG/ManiGen for short) with Emotional Authority, my strategy is to wait to respond and then inform those that matter, but to do so after I ride the wave of my emotions (my authority). You heard me right; I should use my emotions to make decisions, and according to Human Design, so does about 50% of the population. 

Of course, there’s trial and error that comes with experimentation. I mean, I am a 6/2 in their first stage, after all. But what has come out of these past 3.5 years or so has been so much growth and development, satisfaction (my Signature in HD), love, and MONEY!!! Y’all, when I tell y’all I’ve made more money every year since I’ve been following my Strategy and Authority. Check my W2 and tax returns! Nah, not for real, but being in alignment with my energy has brought me so much ease and unique experiences.

And now I’m finally ready to share it with you, family. It’s been a long time putting this together, and I’m so proud of what I’ve created—in His image, as a creator of something. I’m taking introductory reading bookings right now, and all the information is on my Book With Me page. 

As always, I love y’all to life!
