Strategy is the ideal way for you to engage with opportunities in your environment. Each Type has a unique Strategy.

The Generator Strategy is To Respond. Any opportunities that come into your awareness are meant for you to respond to. This means to check in with your Authority to understand if it is a "yes" or a "no" for you.

The Manifesting Generator Strategy is To Respond as well. While not essential, there may be utility in learning To Inform as well, which is the strategy of the Manifestor. As a Manifesting Generator, the people around you may appreciate some notice about when you are switching tasks and making new decisions.

The Projector Strategy is To Wait For The Invitation. When you can identify invitations to share your insight, they will be welcomed and received fully. Waiting is not a passive act though. During the liminal moments before recognition and invitation, you can rest easy and follow your personal passions.

The Manifestor Strategy is To Inform. Informing is simply that - telling those who may be affected by your actions what you will be doing before doing it. It is not asking for permission, but calling others in so that they don't feel left out or left behind. When they know your plan, that will clear the way for you to do what you do best.

The Reflector Strategy is To Wait A Lunar Cycle. Because of your resistant and sampling aura, it is important to take the time to feel through your decisions. The environment and people in it will be very important for you to understand if it is the right decision for you. A lunar cycle is approximately 29.5 days. This doesn't mean to wait a month to decide on anything, but realize that for decisions that my have a large impact on your life, you may want to take some time and explore the places and spaces that will affect the decision.

Authority is your inner compass, that guides you to the decisions that are right for you. There are seven types of Authority and it is important to note that the mind is NOT one of them. This means that you do not have to come up with a logical answer or understand the reasons. Rather, you can feel in your body whether a decision is right for you or not.

Emotional Authority: With Emotional Authority, you have a natural wave of emotions that you experience. This natural up and down of emotions can affect your decisions, so your clarity will come when you are at an emotional neutral. Embrace the natural flow of your emotions and notice your clarity at neutral.

Sacral Authority: Sacral Authority is a gut feeling. It's often described as a body sense of "yes" or "no", often accompanied by an audible "uh-huh" (yes) or "uh-uh" (no). Attune to this sense in your body, follow the yes or no sensation for your decision making.

Splenic Authority: The Splenic Authority is an instantaneous knowing in the moment. Sometimes described as an "intuitive hit", you will notice that you feel a sudden intuition about what is right or wrong for you. The fastest of the Authorities, you may not know why but you'll know if it's right for you.

Heart/Ego Authority: Ego Authority is driven by the will to do what you want. You will know if something is right for you if you have the will to move forward with it. If you are not feeling motivated to take action, it is a good indicator that the decision is not the one for you at the present moment.

Soundboarding (Environmental/Mental) Authority: Soundboarding Authority is where your truth lies in hearing your own expression reflected back to you. Thus the environment and having people you feel safe to express yourself around is important to hearing your own truth reflected back to you. Listening to your thoughts, perspectives, and opinions reflected back to you will give you the clarity and resonance with the decision that is ideal for you.

Self-Projected Authority: Self-Projected Authority is experienced through hearing yourself speak. By listening to your own words and expressions manifested, you can understand your own readiness to pursue opportunities that will fulfill and satisfy you. It may be helpful to record yourself and listen back. Notice subtle cues of confidence or assuredness in how you speak about opportunities to guide you to your truth.

Lunar Authority: The Lunar Authority is to utilize the time of a lunar cycle (29.5 days) to feel into a major decision. By taking the time to receive and perceive the energies around you and the environment where the decision will manifest, you can begin to develop a deep, intuitive knowing over time for the decision that is right for you. While the full cycle is ideal, know that taking the time to make major decisions is important for you to find alignment. Feel through the spaces, places, and people that you will be around after making the decision, as your energetic environment is essential to your personal self-expression.

Your Signature is the feeling you get when you are in alignment with your truth. It's an indicator that the decisions you've made are truly the right ones for you. Each Type has it's own unique signature.

Generators: The Generator Signature is Satisfaction. When you are living according to your Strategy and Authority, you will attract opportunities for you to respond to and by responding based on your Authority you will feel a deep Satisfaction.

Manifesting Generators: The Manifesting Generator Signature is Satisfaction as well. Similar to Generators, the feeling of Satisfaction is an indicator of alignment. There may also be an element of Peace, the Manifestor Signature, when you are able To Inform and move unencumbered at your pace, moving from one thing to the next.

Projectors: The Projector Signature is Success. The feeling of Success may be felt as effortless flow. As you become familiar with the wait between invitations, you'll find that they will naturally come as your live your fullest expression. Simply following your passions and trusting that you will be seen will bring the recognition. Success is when there is no forcing, only flow.

Manifestors: The Manifestor Signature is Peace. As a Manifestor, you are meant to innovate and follow your wants and desires. When you inform those around you, it clears a path for you to move to your goals. You are here to disrupt, like a hurricane, and when you inform, you can exist peacefully in the eye of the hurricane instead of getting pulled off your center.

Reflectors: The Reflector Signature is Surprise. Because of your sampling and reflective aura, when you are in alignment, you will have a pleasant realization that you are in the right place at the right time. This realization may grow overtime as you move through Lunar Cycles until it surprises you with the knowing that you are living your truth.

The Not-Self is when you are out of alignment - literally not being yourself. Each type has it's own unique Not-Self experience. When you notice your Not-Self theme, it is an indicator that a decision was forced. Either you did not follow your Strategy to identify the opportunity or did not follow your Authority.

Getting familiar with your Not-Self and how that experience manifests for you can be used as an early indicator that something is off.

Generators: The Not-Self experience for Generators is Frustration. When you are put into situations that are out of alignment, you'll feel like you're pouring your energy into something without getting any result or payoff.

Manifesting Generators: The Not-Self experience for Manifesting Generators is Frustration as well. Similar to Generators, you can feel like you're doing endlessly without result. There may be the added experience of Anger, the Manfiestor Not-Self experience, if you are being questioned about why you're doing something or blocking you from existing.

Projectors: The Not-Self experience for Projectors is Bitterness. As Projectors, you can often see clearly and deeply to the solutions that people, the tribe, or the collective could benefit from but if there is no recognition of that, it then leads to feeling overlooked and ultimately manifests as Bitterness. The Bitterness of not being recognized, or feeling bitter as you're trying to do things to be recognized.

Manifestors: The Not-Self experience for Manifestors is Anger. Anger arises when others get in your way. They block you and question you about what you're doing and why. To move unencumbered is your speed, and sometimes people feel left behind if they are left out of the loop.

Reflectors: The Not-Self experience for Reflectors is Disappointment. As you spend time in an environment or situation that is not right for you, you may begin to sense a disappointment in the fact that the environment is not what you thought or hoped it would be.
