New to Human Design?
Welcome to the Newcomer's Portal.
Human Design is a lived experiment, and entering it can feel overwhelming at first. We have curated this step-by-step pathway to help you begin your self-awareness journey with clear, grounded guidance.
Step One: Get Your Bearings
Before you can experiment, you need to know your design and understand the basic mechanics.
Generate Your Chart: Sign up for a free account at myBodyGraph.com to run your chart. We recommend exploring the free information first. If you wish to expand later, the Foundation & Advanced Unlimited, Transit Module, Rave I’Ching, and Connection modules are excellent in-app purchases.
Read the Foundations: Start with our eBook, Your Own Authority - A Beginner’s Guide to Human Design, to establish a solid, practical baseline for your experiment.
Get Your Baseline Data: Order a Full Personal Human Design Report at ihdschool.com. This inexpensive, essential resource provides detailed information tailored to your unique design.
e-book with full-color illustrations, 138 pages
This beginner’s guide is a general introduction to the Human Design System, a starting place for people who are wondering, “What is Human Design, and could it be useful for me?”
The book provides a brief overview of the benefits of Human Design, and includes an introduction to type, aura, and strategy, inner and outer authority. Included is a glossary of Human Design terminology and a resource guide for further exploration. It is a perfect introduction for friends and family.
Step Two: Enter the Experiment
Once you have your chart and the basics of mechanics, the next step is to move that knowledge from your mind into your body.
Take a "Living Your Design" (LYD) Course: This transformational course is available live or online worldwide. Although we no longer teach this course, many of our former students are now exceptional LYD Guides. Contact us for a referral to a guide in your area or online.
Track Your Awareness: Use the Path of the Moon experiential workbook or the Radical Deconditioning Foundation set to begin observing and recording your daily physical and energetic shifts.
Radical Deconditioning - Foundation Set
From 7-Centered Conditioning to 9-Centered Awareness
The Radical Deconditioning Foundation Set offers Human Design tools to support your deconditioning journey. Dharmen and Leela explain each principle with examples, including images and BodyGraphs, to help you understand your openness mechanics.
As 9-centered humans, we are binary-consciousness lifeforms with unique awareness. This ongoing awareness is accessible to you. It deepens your wisdom and lays the foundation for a truly exceptional life.
Radical Deconditioning – The Foundation Set Includes:
· Radical Deconditioning: A Human Design Experiential Workbook — a 166-page PDF guide for personal experimentation and reference.
· The Recorded Lecture Series: Six recorded lectures, slide PDFs, and personal experiments, totaling 4.5 hours of audio and video.
Through self-exploration with the Radical Deconditioning Foundation Set, you will begin to recognize how your body experiences your design and openness, and how your mind interprets them. In the process, you’ll discover a new or renewed trust in your body, your form's Strategy, and your Inner Authority. Your mind can relax into its correct work: observing your body’s experiences and your mind’s interpretations. You can become consciously aware of both.
Dharmen and Leela have taught Radical Deconditioning in courses since 2008. Through their work with students worldwide, they’ve discovered that learning Human Design alone isn't enough. Human Design practice changes lives. As your life deconditions from patterns of thought and action, you may recognize your true self and experience awareness, moment by moment.
Payment plans available at no extra cost. Contact office@thesecretofbeingyou.com for details.
We also offer a live online 6-week Deconditioning Discussion Group if you'd benefit from a group environment with feedback on your experiments with Dharmen and Leela. We will offer it again in early 2028.
Step Three: Deepen Your Study
When you are ready for highly individualized guidance and advanced group study, we are here to support your ongoing transformation.
Have a Professional Reading: A 1-on-1 reading with a certified HD Analyst (Foundational, Child Development, Transit Returns, or Connection Readings) is invaluable. We no longer offer private readings, but we have a trusted network of former students who do. Contact us for a tailored referral based on your Type and location.

Our PHS regimen is designed to optimize brain function and improve overall well-being, serving as the foundation for consciousness. Our relationship with food is our most fundamental conditioning. Practicing the regimen that suits our individual digestion optimizes the body and aligns it with its unique sensory awareness.
In this 6-week course, we will explore:
What Color, Tone, and Variable Arrows signify in our regimen, and how do we recognize them
How conditioning around food and diet affects the well-being of the brain and body
Experimenting with our unique body awareness and sensory abilities
How this transformation differentiates memory, impacts learning, and our access to form intelligence.
All Classes on Saturdays online at 18 UTC
The 1st Transformation - PHS Regimen: May 1 - June 5, 2027
