The Energy Spectrum of Human Design Gate 34
All energy in the Human Design chart exists on a spectrum of potential.
On the “positive” end of the spectrum, Human Design Gate 34 is the energy for sovereignty, empowerment, and steady vision. The 34 empowers you to cultivate inner strength, faith, and flow to make your visions a reality.
On the “negative” end of the spectrum, Human Design Gate 34 is the energy for pushing or forcing your dreams into reality. A lack of clear vision can make the 34 feel drained of time, energy, and resources.
If you don’t like the results that the “negative” side of the spectrum is creating in your life, you can raise the frequency of Gate 34 with a number of boundaries, practices, and tools.
(I cover specific practices for each gate of your incarnation cross in the Human Design Map.)
The most important thing to raise the frequency of gate 34 is to prioritize regular time and space to create your visions and get clear on what the right timing and aligned action might look like.
My personal contemplation of Human Design Gate 34 (Gene Key 34)
I don’t have gate 34 defined in my chart but one of my former energy healers/coaches does.
I can remember it like yesterday. She was talking to me on Marco Polo and was wearing either a shawl or blanket around her shoulders. It was wrapped in a distinctly regal way and she truly looked like a Queen.
I immediately replied and told her that she was bringing the 34 vibes HARD with that shawl.
We got a good chuckle out of it because she hadn’t consciously chosen to rock the Queen look that day. It is just what felt natural to her. And that is how our energy works so much of the time. It’s playing out in both big and small ways, we just have to know where to look.
All of that to say, I am forever grateful for her and the work we’ve done together over the years.
I’ve got big, bold, clear visions. And now that I’m no longer trying to prove my worth by working my ass off, I’m only interested in taking focused and aligned action.
But, OMG, I’m not exactly known for patience. Or waiting for the right timing. Or surrendering to the mystery of the way that vision, action, and Divine Timing collide into miracles.
Even without her really meaning to, she showed me that I didn’t need to rush. That I could slow down. That I could trust in my knowing of the right timing.
And, probably most importantly, that by rushing, pushing, and forcing, I was adding unnecessary limits, struggle, and suffering to my life.
And that seems to be how it goes. When we try to make shit happen, without faith in our vision and deep trust in Divine timing, we end up settling for much, much less than we actually deserve.
But, when we surrender…
Miracles become the norm.
Now it’s your turn to contemplate Gate 34
When you stand in the truth that you are ready to receive the gifts of Gate 34 (whether it’s defined in your chart or not)…
What is your vision? Where are you headed? What are you creating with your life force energy?
When you have so much faith in your vision becoming real that it’s as good as done in heart and mind, what actions do you take? What energy do you bring to the way you move through your days? What is your way of BEING in the world?
What are your indicators of right timing? What ways does the Divine wink and nudge you along?
And, most importantly, are you willing to surrender to your magic? Are you truly open to miracles?
These questions are a good reminder for me. And I hope that they will be powerful for you as well.
I encourage you to take some time with them. Take them out into your world and let their answers reveal themselves to you. Intend for deeper levels of clarity about gate 34.
