‘Listen to your gut!’

A Generator always has a defined Sacral, but neither this centre nor any of the other motors – Heart, Emotions and Root – are connected to the Throat by an active channel.

You are a workhorse with endless life – force energy radiating outward, but don’t find it that easy to make things happen. Some effort is required before you get into your full stride and reach your potential. You are not designed to initiate but to wait. Your motto is: ‘Wait, respond, then get going!’

Being a Generator makes you relatively one – paced but highly effective and your momentum is a joy to watch because it is Sacral – powered, therefore remarkably enduring. You are the Duracell or Energizer battery which keeps on going and going when others are fading. Your challenge is to know how and where to best apply this enormous energy.

Waiting for the right projects, opportunities and people and honouring your gut response are your keys to finding fulfilment. When you chase or initiate without waiting, life can go wrong. It’s when you attract opportunity or respond after exercising patience that things tend to work out.

We live in a time when everyone wants to act now, get going, waste no time, achieve asap. This expectation may taunt you into getting a move on, but don’t be misled into thinking you must launch great initiatives. You first need the energy to generate within you; only then is it capable and effective. So sit down, be patient and master the art of waiting to respond. View yourself as a magnet and let people and openings seek you out. And they will. It is an energetic law of life that magnets attract.

So if you are wailing something like, ‘Why does everything I start or chase turn out bad?’ or ‘Why can he make those things happen but I can’t?’, my answer would be: ‘Because you haven’t learned to wait and attract.’ Don’t initiate. Wait.

Your mistaken self – perception is that you have so much energy that you can automatically make things happen. That’s probably fuelled by people describing you as purposeful and dedicated. You walk into the workplace and your life – force energy radiates, lifting everyone else. Here comes the real worker, the real juice – the Generator. You can save the day – and you even believe this yourself. Whether it feels right or not, you have a tendency to wade in and answer the call. Hours later, you’ll be head down, hard at work and look up to find everyone has gone back to sleep. Then you’ll have a quiet word with yourself and ask: ‘Why does it always fall to me? Why did I ever get involved?’

What you must realize is that the only things which prove fulfilling are things which duly arrive after you have exercised patience; openings or possibilities which arrive at your door or make your phone ring.

Then what’s crucial is your response. This response is governed by an inbuilt guidance system, the Sacral gut response, signalling who and what warrants your commitment. This is the core secret of your inner being, one that opens the doorway to what’s right for you.

You’ll recognize this gut sensation in the form of an involuntary reflex or sound, or the rising or contracting of energy, pulling you to or pushing you away from something. The sound is that familiar ‘a – huh’ which says ‘yes’ or that ‘uh – uh’ which says ‘no’. You need to attune to this sensation because it is, quite literally, your inbuilt indicator.

You’ll sense your gut in response to questions that people ask of you: ‘Can I ask for your help?’, ‘Do you want to go on a date?’ or ‘Are you hungry?’ But it also kicks in with much more profound questions that life asks. Test yourself the next time someone asks you something, but be aware that you might be waiting for an instantaneous gut response and, half a second later, the Mind will get involved. Don’t allow it to distract you. That’s not where your answer lies. Listen to your gut.

Also, observe inner musings which don’t require a direct question. If you are sitting in a restaurant, looking at a menu, going through the entrée choices, your ‘a – huh’ or ‘uh – uh’ will kick in. Listen to your gut.

Your process is played out thus: wait for what life offers, listen to your gut response, then get going.

Gayle is a Generator and has learned more and more to attune to her gut response. She was once being pursued by four potential suitors and was torn about to whom she should commit. After a Human Design reading, she needed to distance herself from the fog of her fears and presumptions, none of which played a part in a natural gut response. She stood in her bedroom, looked in the mirror and created a yes/no question for her gut to answer. One by one, she named the four men. ‘Should I go out with Doug?’ She felt that ‘uh – uh’ for no. ‘Should I go out with Marshall?’ Again, she felt ‘uh – uh’. ‘Should I go out with Michel?’ Once more, ‘uh – uh’. Finally, she came to Nick and felt a clear ‘a – huh’. There was her ‘yes’ answer. Somewhere in her being, Nick resonated with her and this was her clear guidance to give him a chance.

The mistake Generators can make is to think too much, allowing the Mind to override the Sacral. When this fog blurs the gut response, you find yourself committing to all kinds of wrong people and wrong pursuits. And then, the trouble for the Sacral is that once it is committed, it has to follow through and complete the experience, however inappropriate or ill – fitting. Quitting is a poor option – and this is one thing that requires understanding – because once your energetic momentum gets going, it’s engaged. Your nature builds up such a head of steam by waiting and waiting that it doesn’t know how to stop the momentum. It’s like asking a thundering express train to stop at a moment’s notice.

As a non – Generator, you might see someone running towards disaster but you’ll be powerless to stop them. You must wait for them to return to their senses in their own time – exhausted, unfulfilled and ready to try again.

Generators must be wary of other people seeking to harness their energy, to take advantage of them. A lot of them are found in the service industry, on the factory floor, or as assistants, secretaries and personal trainers, with a treadmill – like momentum that keeps things ticking like clockwork. That’s because Generators provide the juice for most things.
