Ep 22: Type Series: Reflectors: Cosmic mirrors, Why you need boundaries, & How sensitivity is your superpower
Description
Lori wraps up the Midlife by Design Human Design Type series by diving into the unique and rare energy of Reflectors, who make up just 1% of the population. As cosmic mirrors, Reflectors absorb and reflect the energy of those around them. Lori explores what it means to be a Reflector, how they navigate midlife, and how this open energy type can use their sensitivity as a strength. She also discusses decision-making strategies, how Reflectors can thrive in the right environments, and how the wild woman archetype resonates powerfully with Reflectors in midlife.
Key Takeaways:
-
Reflectors are Cosmic Mirrors: With all centers open or undefined, Reflectors absorb and reflect the energy of others, making them highly sensitive and adaptable beings.
-
Challenges of Reflector Life: Reflectors may struggle with making decisions and discerning what is theirs versus what they’ve absorbed from others. They benefit from patience and time, as decisions are made best over a lunar cycle.
-
Finding Strength in Sensitivity: By using tools like environmental awareness, and energy-cleansing practices, Reflectors can support their own energy while thriving in midlife.
-
Decision-Making Through the Lunar Cycle: Reflectors need time to let decisions unfold and are encouraged to track patterns in their feelings over time to gain clarity.
-
Embracing the Wild Woman Archetype: Reflectors in midlife can embrace the wild woman archetype, stepping into their power and creating a life that surprises and delights them.
