Solar Transit for September 21-26
Gate 46: the Gate of Embodiment (the love of the body)
Hello dear friends, I am now back home but still imagining that I am by the sea 🌊🌊on the east coast of North America.
I feel very affirmed in the principles, philosophies, and ideas that I've had for over 10 years but have not felt the confidence to pursue, or have found the community to discuss and build with. I'm very excited to integrate the ideas that we explored on the futures consciousness retreat held by The TFSX team and incorporating it into my program that I will launch next year all around our inner and outer transformations.
Here's a short recap video of my trip. If you'd like to read a few of the things that I learned, read the caption in the Instagram post.
As a result of being on my trip, I did not have the available time, energy or space to work on the last solar transit, so apologies for that! But we are back on track!
We are now in Gate 46, the Gate of Embodiment aka the Gate of Serendipity!
New to Human Design? See if you already have this energy from when you were born, or you’ve been absorbing it from others your whole life, by pulling up your own Human Design bodygraph here.
So, what is the energy of this gate?
This is the gate that feels that the physical body is the temple or vehicle for your spirit or soul for this lifetime.
The emphasis is on the love of higher spirit and the body is simply the vehicle to experience that on this physical plane.
Often, this gate is defined for people who work with their body, such as dancers, body healers, fitness instructors, etc.
People with this gate often experience serendipities throughout their life and these serendipities guide their life direction.
Being in the right place at the right time can create new opportunities or happenstances that change your life direction.
There is an energy of determination.
High expression of this gate:
The Gate of Embodiment is the energy of loving the physical body and sensations that your body experiences. You honour your body as a temple with how you treat it. You trust your natural responses to take you through life in the perfect timing. You trust that you can let yourself be in the right place at the right time. You are able to experience and appreciate the perfection of every experience even in unpleasant situations.
Low expression of this gate:
You may become repressive and hide from life out of fear for your body’s safety. You may dislike your body and your vitality may dwindle. You may even see your fear in a frown with a pinched expression showing up on your face. Focus on enjoying the beauty of being in your body rather than worrying about what you look like. You may also become overly frivolous, pretending to enjoy life and being lighthearted. Or you may be feeling anger underneath the facade of being jovial. You may be avoiding life’s truths and may end up in frivolous relationships that are not long-lasting or meaningful.
Systems change lens:
We can see the low expression of this gate in the way that people, especially young girls are taught to not love their natural bodies, and to contort their bodies to fit the acceptable, or ideal body shape. In other words a lack of the love of the body. Our capitalist world has led to a deracination, a disconnection and a distinction from our surrounding nature. But we eat nature, we breathe nature, we shit nature 😂, we are nature. And we experience nature through our vessels; our bodies.
The body is a vessel through which we experience life, receives scars and learn life lessons, receive hugs, intimate touch, smell the most repugnant or delightful scents. For Millennia, human beings are intricately interconnected with nature and very conscious of that fact. We are still intricately interconnected with nature, but forgetting this often. And big Pharma, sports entertainment, and many other industries benefit financially from our disconnection and lack of love for our bodily awareness.
The energy of gate 46 is therefore a revolutionary energy in the context of a world that tries to separate us from our own bodies. Coaxing us into numbing our sensations, instead of addressing them or moving in flow with them.
Emi’s Personal Reflection:
I do not have this gate defined which means it is an inconsistent energy for me. I have met several clients who have this gate defined who are involved in pilates, yoga or sports. I am looking forward to the next several days in this solar transit, to experience these themes.
Reflection prompts:
The body desire/ need in this moment?
How can I nourish my body today?
What can I appreciate about my body and what I can do with it?
Can I see that my body is simply nature manifested in a particular form?
What does my cognition or Authority say is the best decision for me?
I hope you enjoyed this look into this gate and that you contemplate it for yourself!
