From “Wait” to Wow: My Manifesting Generator Strategy and Human Design experiment

When you first discover you’re a Manifesting Generator, you’ll likely have heard the words wait to respond as your Manifesting generator strategy. The strategy is a key to unlocking the ‘correct’ way for you to move through the world.

The word ‘wait’ probably makes you feel very uncomfortable, as someone with a lot of busy energy who feels the need to be constantly doing. I’m sharing here my Manifesting Generator Strategy and an insight to my Human Design experiment.

During my specialist certification training I learned a LOT of valuable tools to help make sense of each of the types.

As I got to the Manifesting Generator (known as a Time Bender in Quantum Human Design™) specific section – in all honesty I wanted to skip straight to this part, I couldn’t help but want to learn more about myself! It was at this point a big light bulb went on, like magic.

In Quantum Human Design there are sometimes things which are approached a little differently than in the language of traditional Human Design.

The primary reason for this is focusing on the core body of information that was originally downloaded when it first happened in 1987. You can read about that here. This strategy piece is one that makes a LOT of sense to me.

Your energy as a Manifesting Generator is complex. No hustle required (apparently), stop trying to make things happen, slow down and let the universe show you. All while moving at the speed you’re designed to. The struggle of ‘being’ in this way is real! Your Manifesting Generator strategy is a key to unlocking your unique way of ‘being’ in the world.

The Manifesting Generator strategy using Karen Curry Parker’s approach is this:

(Quantum Human Design is the language crafted by her and her team)

Wait to respond
Envision
Inform
Take Action

As mentioned, learning this during my training was so insightful to me.
I realised retrospectively that before I hit the ‘submit’ button to start training as a specialist, this was exactly what had played out.

So I thought I’d use it to demonstrate how it looks out there in the world.

Wait to respond.

I’d been gradually piecing together my coaching business, since the realisation in 2020 that it was time to follow my dream.
It hadn’t been easy. I was following a year long training, trying to work out what made me unique while juggling the ‘old’ as I still had clients from my previous business. And filling the need for regular income with other work too. This felt SO frustrating at times.

Not a great space for a Generator type, but intuitively, I knew I was on the right track.

Human Design found me early 2022. It didn’t take long for me to start exploring the numerous, sometimes heavy sounding terms like ‘deconditioning’ – and that was how I found Karen’s body of empowering work.
The more I read, the more I wanted to know.

I was signed up for email updates.

Then the email arrived. ‘Train as a Quantum Human Design specialist’.

Ohhhhhh! This felt like a very real opportunity.

Just to be clear – I’m a 1st line profile. Learning is in my blood!
But what would that look like?

I contemplated for a while.

Envision

This is the ‘Envision’ part of the strategy in real time, I very much sat with the idea of actually doing this! It excited me in ways I couldn’t even describe. I had this knowing. I felt myself being called and that’s the only way I can describe it. What would it look like to train in something that I could see had SO much potential for helping more women in a very deep and transformative way.

I was to learn later that some of my energetic blueprint has the theme of integration and that’s very much how I describe that was happening. I was integrating the next step.

Inform

What happened next is the ‘informing’ part of the strategy. Informing is a vital thing to get to grips with when you’re moving in your energy flow. This lets others know to give you the space to do what you’re doing, preferably without interruptions. Just to be clear – you are not asking for permission. To find out more about ‘informing’ and other relevant strategy insights, take a look here.

You inform them before you go off and do the thing. They let you know beforehand of anything that’s likely to need dealing with so you can manage it. That way you don’t get tripped up by the things that get in your way (not usually physical things, but that could apply too!)
In an equal and healthy partnership, communication is vital for it to succeed.

This comes with a little caveat. There are times when you know something is right even if you can’t describe it so whilst communication is key, I couldn’t explain how I knew this was the right next step for me. I informed my wonderful husband (who was financially supporting me during this time of retraining) that I’d found the next big thing and I needed to follow it. He raised his eyebrow and asked the question I didn’t really want to hear.
‘Are you SURE you need another certificate? More training?” Ahhhh.

This was at the back of my mind too, was this just me seeking answers?
In truth, I knew it wasn’t. I felt it in every ounce of my being.

Reflecting on this, I couldn’t ignore this knowing. I had a way to fund the training myself, especially as it really wasn’t an enormous investment and the deadline was approaching. You know the kind.

Only 2 days to go to get the discount.
Another email. 1 day left.

I couldn’t miss this opportunity, I knew it was right for me.

I’d already shared my excitement, I couldn’t quite explain what was different about this particular training, and I took the action.

Taking action

This is the final step of the strategy – taking action. I clicked the button, I was so excited I couldn’t explain it.
It wasn’t long before I shared with my ever loving and supportive hubster that I had gone for it, I knew it was right. Absolutely no problem at all, I don’t condone the secrecy but it was right for me in the moment. It was vital I learned to trust myself and in following what was lighting up for me in that moment I felt empowered and trusting in my knowing.

After I learned about this strategy, I could see how clearly it had played a part in my right next steps. And I had followed this inspiration.

The Universe clearly had a plan!

To keep it simple, if you’re wondering how this might look for you, the ‘responding’ piece is key.

Notice how you feel these opportunities and aha moments in your body.
Is it like a rush or a surge of energy?
Are you excited by it?
Do you feel yourself being called, or pulled towards something? Check out this post about Living your life in response.

All of this before you start thinking ‘logically’ – your mind will always try and rationalise all the reasons why NOT to do the thing.
Its an easy trap to fall into, you’ve been conditioned to listen to your mind.

The whole point of Human design is to empower you to lean into trust, into what feels right, and follow that instead.

If I had let my mind rule the show – I probably wouldn’t be here writing this blog post.
