Human Design and nutrition: Reflector

Your appetite

Reflectors are incredibly sensitive to the energy of food, people and places. What you loved yesterday may not work today.

Your rhythm

There is no fixed rhythm that is 'your' rhythm; your rhythm follows the lunar cycle and your environment. That can be confusing, but it is normal.

A classic pitfall

Following diets designed for sacral Types. Rules that are supposedly 'always true' do not fit you because you are so changeable.

Advice based on your design

Choose consciously where and with whom you eat. Calm places and company nourish you more than a specific food. Give yourself a full lunar cycle (~28 days) to feel what consistently does you good.

Authority and eating

Alongside your Type, your Authority plays a significant role. Wait for your body's confirmation before making major dietary changes. Emotional Types: take your time. Sacral Types: listen to the yes/no signal. Splenic Types: trust the first, gentle response. Reflectors need a full lunar cycle (~28 days) to know what consistently does them good.

You can find more about how Authority works on the Authorities page. Experiment on a small scale before introducing major rules.

Practical steps for this week

Choose one small exercise to begin with. Small, repeated steps build a connection with your body; major changes often create resistance.

• Choose your eating environments consciously; they have a big influence.
• Track how you feel in relation to what you ate for 28 days.
• Avoid rules that 'everyone should follow'.
