Generator/MG Human Design Experiment: Follow Your Sacral for a Full Day!
Generators and MGs: here’s an incredibly powerful experiment you can do for your deconditioning process: follow your Sacral for a full day.
But before we get into it, have you gotten the Free Guide to Your Sacral Response (And Beyond!) yet?
More than 12,000 people have downloaded this and discovered how to physically recognize their unique Sacral responses, move beyond just "uh-huh" sounds, and transform their decision-making process.
This is a concept that I originally wrote about way back in 2019:
Choose a day where you can get away with having no constraints on your time so that you can honor your Strategy and Authority.
This goes for whether you have Sacral Authority or Emotional Authority! If you have Emotional Authority, you don’t want to make any big decisions with only your Sacral. But decisions that will last for that day, or not have a big effect on your life? You can absolutely make those using your Sacral response.
Of course, there are always going to be other people in our lives and certain variables that we can’t control, but try to create an environment that is as open and free as possible to give you the opportunity to make intuitive decisions without any previous planning.
Wake up in the morning, and do only what your Sacral says yes to:
Get out of bed when your Sacral says yes, not because you think you should be up at a certain time
Eat what your Sacral guides you toward, not what you eat out of habit/because you think it’s healthy/etc
Eat when you want
Stop looking at the clock and let your Sacral be your timekeeper and scheduler
Don’t go anywhere or start anything until you get a yes! feeling about what you are going to do that feels nourishing and energizing
Suspend judgement on any of the things that you decide to do.
The results of this may be surprising! What’s shocking about our lives now (especially under the influence of capitalism) is that we might have lost touch with who we actually are i.e. what we like to do, when we like to do it, when we like to get up, when we like to eat, etc.
Our Sacral/Emotional Authority can help us get back in touch with how our body actually wants to operate!
Why is this helpful?
When you are first starting your Human Design deconditioning, chances are that you might find that you don't actually know who you are without all the constraints, limitations, and structure put in place to corral and route your energy.
Since we're little, we're told when to wake up, when to eat, how to eat, exactly what to do at each time of day, and what we should put our attention on, at least 5 out of 7 days of the week.
If what we've been doing wasn't in alignment with our Sacral energy, we also have likely spent a lot of our weekends or time off recovering or compensating for all the time we spend having our energy controlled or put towards things that don't energize us.
This experiment creates a sacred relationship with your own energy flow and the universal energy around you. As Generators and MGs, you aren't passively waiting for permission when you follow your Sacral—you're actually preserving your precious energy for deeply satisfying experiences that light you up from within.
Following your Sacral for a full day helps you recognize the constant dialogue that exists between you and the universe through your desires. Remember that beautiful Rumi quote: "What you seek is seeking you." When you tune into your Sacral responses, you're avoiding those fear-based decisions that drain your energy and leave you feeling depleted.
For those with Emotional Authority, this practice is particularly illuminating. While your major life decisions benefit from riding the emotional wave (experiencing the highs, lows, and neutral states before deciding), this experiment shows you how to use your Sacral response effectively for daily decisions. It helps you distinguish between when to use which aspect of your authority—Sacral for immediate, lower-stakes choices; emotional processing for the bigger ones.
Many Generators and MGs report surprising discoveries after this experiment:
They realize they've been forcing themselves to wake up hours before their body naturally wants to
They discover food preferences they'd been ignoring to follow diet trends
They notice natural productivity cycles that don't match conventional work schedules
They experience a profound sense of relief and homecoming when finally honoring their authentic rhythm
They feel more energized despite potentially doing "less" by conventional standards
This experiment isn't just about a single day of freedom—it's about gathering data that can inform more permanent changes to your lifestyle. Each "yes" response you honor is a breadcrumb leading you toward your most aligned life path. Each "no" you respect preserves your energy for what truly matters.
A Generator’s example!
Here’s a story from Mariah, a 1/3 Sacral Generator (and SEO expert) who decided to do an experiment like this:
The Plan
So on Sunday I told my fiancé I’m having a “Mariah” day. He wasn’t allowed to ask me to do anything. Or help with anything. I was just gonna flow through my day and do what felt fun. I gave him a heads up so he was prepared
I ended up writing a little bullet point list of the things I could do that felt fun.
Responded to each bullet point throughout the day, while giving myself space to respond in the moment.
I was just down to go with the flow.
The Day
I HAD THE BEST FUCKING DAY. Smiling. Singing. Dancing around the house.
Even ended up randomly shopping and picked out a few dresses to buy. I get to the register.
THEY’RE ALL 40% OFF. What a day. What a gift. What a time to be alive.
Felt so ELATED that I was like hmmm I don’t wanna go home.
Decided to stop at the grocery store and tackle my shopping list.
Took my time responding to ingredients and options at the store. Had a lovely time.
Got home, went into a research rabbit hole for some work stuff (1/3 vibes).
Dancing down into the kitchen around dinner time and I notice my fiancé is looking stressed while cooking dinner.
Cooking dinner was not on my bingo card for the day. But I was so lit up, I offered to finish dinner for him.
The Result
Literally just from me responding all day, the benefits poured into him.
I got grocery shopping done for both of us, I finished up dinner for both of us.
And then after dinner he ended up feeling energized because I was energized.
It was SO interesting to notice.
He literally said he enjoys “Mariah” days because of how I feel when I’m around.
As you can see, when Generators and Manifesting Generator follow our Sacral, not only do we have energizing experiences of flow and satisfaction, we actually lift up everyone around us.
Have you tried this experiment? What did you find out about yourself? If not, give yourself this gift!
Love,
