Express Yourself: My Defined Throat Center and Gifts
I have a Defined Throat Center. I was not surprised at all when I learned this. It validated what I knew to be true about myself and what others had told me throughout my life. I have never shied away from saying what needs to be said or communicating my thoughts. What I found the most interesting were the gates or gifts, I had activated in my Throat Center, as well as the impact of having my G Center directly connected to my Throat. Let’s get into it!
My unconscious Jupiter activates Gate 8. As you’ll learn in the workshop, Gate 8 is all about creative self-expression and knowing whether or not you have something to contribute. I know that to move humanity forward and grow, we need people who are drawn to innovation and novel things and can share these life-changing and unique things with others in a very individual style. One of those people is me. This gift is exemplified by being a living example of creative self-expression. My biggest example of this is when, in 2013, I decided to buy a 1973 VW Westfalia and take two months to travel the Western United States. This was a few years before the #vanlife craze started. I had seen maybe a handful of people doing it and was immediately inspired. I planned the whole trip, took it, and shared about it on social media. My life during that time WAS creative self-expression, from how I lived my days to the photos I captured and shared. This was me living this gift, and as a result, my audience grew, and I inspired countless others to experience life in a new, novel way that they maybe hadn’t thought about before. I knew that this adventure would change my life. I didn’t have to talk about it or write about it. I simply had to BE it and LIVE it.
My conscious Jupiter activates Gate 16. This Gate is all about mastering a skill or skills and identifying with something or not. The best example of this is doing what I am doing by writing this blog post. I have spent years reading and learning about Human Design. I didn’t want to just know about it; I wanted to deeply understand and master it. While this science will be a source of lifelong learning, I have and will continue to dedicate much of my time to profoundly understanding the ins and outs of it so that I can impact and empower others. Human Design makes sense to me. I identify with it on a soul level. When the invitation is there, sharing about Human Design changes lives and moves humanity forward, even if it’s only one small step. This is Gate 16 energy being fully expressed.
With my Unconscious and Conscious Jupiter each activating one of these gifts, I know that this is where and how I find abundance. For me, abundance is all about being a living example of creative self-expression and skillfully mastering something that I identify with, and that propels others forward.
My conscious Mercury activates Gate 20, the Gate of the Now. This is all about present-moment awareness. I am here to communicate that for humanity to keep evolving, we have to be present. Only then does clarity arise. I am not here to plan what I think people need to hear or what I need to say. I only know what needs to be said and shared by being plugged into the present moment. This allows me to be fully awake, aware, and survive as myself.
My conscious Venus activates Gate 23, the Gate of Assimilation. This is all about communicating individual insights and determining whether or not I know something. Venus is all about values, and I find incredible value in helping others shift the way they see or think about things. This is one of my gifts. The key for me is only speaking about things I truly know, not just speaking for speaking sake. When I know something, I know it. I have learned that I need to trust this, and when the invitation is right, what I have to say makes an impact.
My Throat Center directly connects to my G Center via two different channels. This means I am here to speak from my personal identity, direction, and higher self. When I have something important to share, it should come from this place—not from how I feel or what I think, but from who I am and where I am going.
