Gate 55, also known as The Gate of Spirit, carries the energy of emotional abundance and the deep, creative power that lies within our emotional experiences. This gate reminds us that abundance is not just material but also emotional and spiritual. Its essence is rooted in faith - faith in life, in the unseen, and in the creative process that is sparked by emotional waves. As we collectively move through the Sun's transit of Gate 55, we are invited to honour our emotional states, surrender to our moods, and trust that these waves of feeling are guiding us toward greater insight, creativity, and abundance.
The Impact of the Solar Plexus Centre
Gate 55 resides in the Solar Plexus Centre, the hub of emotional awareness and the source of our emotional waves. The Solar Plexus is a motor centre, providing energy through emotional highs and lows. Its influence on Gate 55 manifests as a deep emotional sensitivity and a natural oscillation between feelings of scarcity and faith.
The melancholy often associated with this gate isn’t a sign of something wrong; instead, it's a doorway into creative potential. When we surrender to our emotions, without forcing or resisting them, we allow creativity to flow naturally.
The Channel 55-39: The Channel of Emoting
Gate 55 pairs with Gate 39 to form the Channel of Emoting, which connects the Solar Plexus Centre with the Root Centre. This channel is driven by the emotional energy of abundance and the pressure to provoke emotional clarity. Gate 39 acts as the provocateur, initiating emotional responses, while Gate 55 experiences the highs and lows of these emotions.
This channel teaches us to sit with our feelings, to find the deeper truth beyond the surface of our moods, and to allow our emotions to guide us toward experiences that align with our spirit.
How to Work with the Energy of Gate 55
Embrace Emotional Waves: Rather than resisting emotional highs and lows, practice observing and honouring them. Your melancholy is not a flaw; it's a portal to creativity.
Engage in Creative Expression: Creativity thrives when Gate 55 energy is present, particularly during melancholic periods. Write, paint, sing, or engage in any activity that helps you express your emotions.
Cultivate Faith in Abundance: Gate 55 carries an inherent faith in life's abundance. Trust that your emotional experiences are leading you toward greater fulfillment.
Practice Emotional Awareness: Pay attention to how words are spoken and how they resonate with you. Gate 55's energy is deeply acoustic, meaning that tone often matters more than content.
Gate 55 for Self-Reflection and Emotional Awareness
This gate encourages us to reflect on the emotions we experience and the stories we attach to them. It asks us to notice when we feel abundant and when we feel scarcity, and to consider how these feelings shape our perceptions of the world.
"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into." - Wayne Dyer
