I am a Reiki healer who additionally occurs to be a magnificence editor. Due to this, I am all the time open to any magnificence apply that is thought of even barely woo-woo. Generally, the universe actually delivers on this regard and sends me precisely my type of individuals. I used to be launched to auric aesthetician Mikaela MacLean by good friend, and I instantly turned infatuated along with her. MacLean is a girl of many abilities. First, she’s a fellow Reiki healer and gifted aesthetician, and he or she’s the host of the Magnificence by Design podcast and lead educator for natural magnificence model LilFox. What I like much more about MacLean, although, is that she incorporates the examine of human design into her apply and creates a completely distinctive expertise for her purchasers, who can choose to obtain a chart studying, energetic magnificence prescription, and pores and skin seek the advice of via her web site.
I acquired the unbelievable alternative to talk with MacLean about my very own human design chart, and he or she even gave me just a few magnificence necessities I now take into account holy-grail gadgets.

When you love a little bit of woo-woo vitality in your magnificence routine too, hold studying. I am sharing my full energetic magnificence prescription and chat with MacLean beneath.
What’s human design?
I like studying about as many esoteric and energy-based therapeutic practices as potential, however I will be sincere with you. I did not know a lot about human design till chatting with MacLean. She informed me a bit extra about what it’s precisely. Whereas it’s advanced and you will in all probability wish to work with a well-versed practitioner like MacLean to get the total image, I discovered the studying I obtained extraordinarily resonant.
MacLean explains, “It is a system that synthesizes esoteric knowledge from astrology, the I Ching, the kabbalah, and the Hindu-Brahmin chakra system with modern-day science—quantum mechanics, astronomy, genetics, and biochemistry. It isn’t a perception system. [It’s] a science experiment involving your private vitality area. I consider it as astrology and self-development on steroids. It is a approach to deeply perceive and, extra importantly, settle for your self. Why spend years on the therapist’s sofa, as I’ve, when you may be taught your design and make sense of your life and, extra importantly, heal with lightning velocity? It uncovers issues you could by no means get to via conventional means.”
How does human design connect with magnificence and skincare?
MacLean has an exquisite method of connecting our conventional concepts of magnificence and skincare with the religious. She would not simply take into account the outward look of your pores and skin when treating you—she seems to be at your whole vitality area.
“I have been obsessive about outer magnificence my whole life and labored within the area professionally for over 20 years,” she says. “In some unspecified time in the future, you understand focusing solely on the exterior isn’t going to resolve your entire issues—it’s important to start wanting inward for actual peace and happiness. I see human design as a diagnostic device for inside magnificence, like I am studying your ‘lab outcomes’ from the universe. I can detect the place your hang-ups and points are coming from and aid you exfoliate the undesirable gunk to disclose the attractive vitality you will have beneath. If I am within the therapy room, it is a matter of dialog with my shopper. I am going to do vitality work throughout their facial, deciding on music, a yoga nidra, sound therapeutic, important oils, crystals, and many others., based mostly on their chart and what they’re reporting as their considerations at that go to and even how the astrology of the second is affecting them. I additionally do distance work—what I name ‘auric facials’—the place I am doing all of it remotely. Vitality isn’t confined to time or house, and I like listening to again from individuals how a lot of an affect it has for them regardless that I did not contact them in individual.”
That is actually essentially the most complete approach to method magnificence and skincare. As a Reiki healer myself, I see a connection between psychological, religious, and bodily well being. MacLean is one among a sort. Regardless that we’re positioned in several states, I am dying to get one among her auric facials.
My Energetic Magnificence Rx
MacLean first began creating energetic prescriptions to assist every explicit design kind. “My ‘prescription’ or Energetic Rx is what I’ve synthesized my work into over time—learning, amassing, and curating my ‘energetic magnificence pharmacy’ filled with energy-healing cures,” she says. “I am going to write up a prescription of what they may profit from at the moment, once more, based mostly on their chart and present complaints. If somebody is scuffling with, say, anxiousness, I can discover the supply within the chart and prescribe particular frequencies to hearken to, bodily practices to make use of, or different different modalities to assist them. I’ve an intensive podcast, so I can even advocate episodes that they will hear, be taught, revisit, and heal after our time collectively to proceed the method. The prescriptions are a tremendous approach to make all of it tangible, not only a theoretical idea. They assist deliver it out of the thoughts and into the physique, the place human design is supposed to be lived.”
There are 5 major sorts of designs within the human design system: mills, manifestors, manifesting mills, projectors, and reflectors. My human design is a reflector. Making up solely about 1% of the inhabitants, reflectors are extremely delicate and intuitive beings who pattern and mirror the vitality of others round them. We virtually mirror the energetic well being of others again to them. For my explicit design, MacLean had just a few concepts and wonder suggestions. “I’d counsel specializing in being the cleanest, clearest vessel you may be. Your sensitivity to the world round you advantages from fixed exfoliation. As a lunar being, your moon gates maintain important significance (gates 57 and 31). This explicit mixture offers you a deeply smart, intuitive voice of management and affect.”
As a result of I am a reflector, MacLean additionally says that I am additional delicate to vitality coming from others, the atmosphere that I am in, and even the astrological climate. Beneath are the gadgets she advisable for me.
