Manifesting Generators, the fast paced multi tasking people magnet. What is a Manifesting Generator in Human Design? For starters, it's one of the five energy types. Just like generators, Mani Gens have TONS of energy. They can bring things to life fast as lightning right before your very eyes. They will draw you in with their magnetism, without even realizing they did it. When Manifesting Generators find something they love, that lights them up, they go all in. They can have energy for DAYS on this thing, at least until they lose interest. (If you are curious if you or your kids are a generator, you can find their free Human Design Chart HERE)

Let's break down the Manifesting Generator Human Design type. 

What you'll find here:

1. How you can make better decisions as a Manifesting Generator.

2. What it means if you are a Sacral Manifesting Generator or an Emotional Manifesting Generator (and how to help your kids make decisions based on what type of Generator they are!).

3. How to use what you know about Manifesting Generators for yourself, and for your kids.

How you can make better decisions as a Manifesting Generator

Mani Gens have a whole lot of energy. If you're a mani gen, you are one of the lucky ones whose whole purpose is to follow your joy, expending all of your energy on things you love, and then collapse into bed at the end of the night. You're a mix of a Generator and a Manifestor so you do have one nuance that Generators don't. That's to inform.

Informing is NOT asking for permission.  Because you are part Manifestor, you have the power to create.  You may spin something up with all of your creative energy.  It's your job to let people know what you're up to because the Generators of the world may actually get on your bus.  It makes your endeavors easier and more well received.  

The key to your success is to first make sure you are saying yes to the things that literally make you say HECK YES. You will know these things because you may actually feel yourself leaning in, wanting to get started, or saying yes as soon as possible. The actual strategy of a Mani Gen is called waiting to respond. What that means is that people, places, opportunities, things will all get drawn to you. It's your job to decide whether not that person or things is for you. The way that you do that is by using your specific authority. (More on that in another blog post). For now, follow your gut. You may be presented with lots of different things that you could do, it's just a matter of what you WANT to do. It's your job to lean into those things that feel like a HECK YES. 

How to know if it's a Yes or a No as a Manifesting Generator

Manifesting Generators, like Generators get their name because one of their Sacral Center. Your Sacral (towards the bottom of your chart), is an energy center with a whole lot of get up and go. 

Just like an actual generator, it has a tremendous amount of energy. There are two main ways it operates for you as a Mani Gen. You might find that you are a Sacral Generator, (which you can determine for free at goingpirecoaching.com). Sacral Manifesting Generators know right away if it's a heck yes or a no, and it may come out vocally as hmmm YES! They have an immediate knowing. Emotional Manifesting Generators on the other hand, have access to that same knowing, but they have to ride their emotional wave first. There will likely be some, yes but what if... questions that come up, and once they are in a calm emotional place, their gut will also speak to them.

Manifesting Generators need something to respond to, and your Mani Gen kids will have an easy time tapping into whether or not something is for them or not. The best way you can support them is to give them options. This lunch or that lunch, pizza or nuggets? Yes or no questions will be much more productive than open ended questions.

If you feel that you feel you are saying yes to something only to make someone else happy? That means it's actually a NO for you. The same goes for your Mani Gen kids. If they are saying yes just to make you happy, the best thing you can do for them is to ask them more yes no questions. If it doesn't bring them joy, you are going to be dealing with one very frustrated (and then angry) kiddo very soon.   

Being a Manifesting Generator Woman

• Take note of who energizes you and who depletes you. Those that deplete you are probably showing up as a "no" for you for some reason.
• Allow yourself to pivot. Your Sacral knows when it's a yes or no, but it also knows timing. If something all the sudden starts to feel like a no, give yourself permission to move on.
• Prioritize your joy. Daily.
• Let go of that pull to fit yourself and your life into a nice pretty little box. You're MULTI passionate. That means you are going to have lots of passions, lots of projects, and you can do them all. Especially if they are a big YES for you.
• Make sure to create time for the things that you love to do. Filling up your cup and finding your joy will pay dividends with your friends, family, etc.
• If you feel burnt out, take a step back. What did you say yes to that was really a yes for someone else and not for you?
• Doing the hard thing first may not actually be the best thing for you. Do the thing that brings you the most joy first.
• Delegate things that don't bring you joy, or find a different way to do them.

The Manifesting Generator parent

• Show your kids how that doing many things is ok. When you are your whole magical self, they can be their whole selves too.
• Don't forget to listen to what your body is telling you, especially if you are an emotional Manifesting Generator. You may need to step back and let the chaos die down to really listen to your gut.
• You're going to have a bazillion things that you are working on, passion projects etc. Don't be afraid to get your kids involved!
• Remember, it's ok to be the adventurous spontaneous parent.
• FOLLOW YOUR JOY. This is the single biggest thing you can do for your kids.

The Manifesting Generator kids

• These kids are F.U.L.L of energy and curiosity. Give them time and space to explore their world and get that energy out.
• Let them know it's ok if they don't fit in a box, aren't like the other kids, and have lots of different interests.
• Give your kids time to find what they like and don't like. Mani Gen kids are going to have tons of varying interests. They may start something and not finish. Give them that creative space. The Manifesting part of their personality may be kicking up some energy for another Generator to come along and pick up.
• If your Manifesting Generator child doesn't answer with a definitive YES, asking them yes/no questions can help them tap into their sacral/emotional decision tree.
