Gate 6, The Gate of Friction

September 15 - September 19

“Conflict is the beginning of consciousness.”  M Ester Harding

This transit brings us to the emotional center and the energy of friction. Conflict is the driving force of life itself. Growth doesn’t usually occur without friction and it’s the very energy that produces life and propels our movement through life.

And, this triggers a chemistry deep within that can take you on a wild ride, because friction can bring pleasure or it can bring pain.

Could conflict provide an opportunity to see the truth in what you keep hidden or don’t want to face?

Instead of believing your issues are taking place somewhere outside, it’s possible that the conflict is an energy arising inside you.

This energy may be arising for you to examine, confront, and heal yourself (and your relationships with others).

So, maybe conflict isn’t so much about what’s on the surface, but rather about the unspoken, untreated, and unhealed wounds you carry.

Can you use conflict to see your reflection in this mysterious mirror provided by contention?

Whatever is repressed ‘in here’ finds expression in the situations you are caught up in ‘out there.’

Will you harness the flood of emotions that surge through you with emotional awareness and wait to be clear before you act? Are you open to ‘intimacy’, vulnerability, and truth in your relationships or not?

After all, opposites turn the wheel. Conflict can lift you to a higher level of thinking when you allow its creative nature to emerge rather than respond defensively.

Perhaps conflict comes to release you, heal you, and help you move forward.

“Truth fears nothing but concealment.” ~ Chinese Proverb

Gate 6 is the gate of our pH and establishes and maintains the boundary between what is outside and what is inside our body.
