Gate 2 - The Gate of the Direction of Self

The sun is again shifting gates, and the next gate in line is gate number two, the gate of the direction of self.

Located in the G-center, which is the center for identity, this is the only gate in the whole bodygraph that consists of pure yin energy. This is a gate that can be a bit tricky to get your head around, and you have to get a feeling of how this gate works in your body.

Unless you already have this gate defined in yourself, you can benefit from the sun transiting through this powerful yet passive energy. When you reply to life in a more awaiting way instead of forcing, you use this gate's power.

With this gate comes an understanding of what shall happen will happen. Listen to your inner wisdom, and you will find the key to navigating your life.

As with all aspects of life, we have gift sides and shadow sides of this gate as well.

When you are stepping into this gate on the gift side, you know and trust your direction in life. You find yourself viewing the moments of life as beautiful. You know your inner wisdom, and you trust that life is exactly how it is supposed to be played out.

On the other hand, should you be on the shadow side of gate number two, you will not trust your own way. You might feel confused or lost, and continue to look for someone from the outside to come and tell you how to live your life.

Since this gate is pure yin energy, you can lean into more feminine ways of releasing the energy and wisdom inside the gate. Move your body in ways that come naturally to you to the sounds of nature. Go to a yin yoga class. Be mindful in a way that resonates with you; journal, meditate, or sing. Find ways of expressing yourself and your feelings.

Remember that you have inner wisdom on who you are deep down. Even if you mentally can not get your head around it, your body knows.
