Allowing space to cultivate new beginnings
Entering The Gate of Beginning (Gate 3 in the teachings of Human Design)
Every spring Mother Earth offers us a reflection of new beginnings as she offers life through the openings of the seeds and spreads her generosity throughout the land. The process itself appears messy as rains soak the earth, the rot and decay of the winter season is exposed, and animals scramble to find their mate. The gate of beginning is a stirring from within that it is time to begin once again. But in order to truly begin, one must first end. This is a process of releasing expectations, resentments, judgements and all manner of low vibrating energies that would affect the potential for a new beginning.
Think of this as the seed, placed into your hands without you knowing what that seed shall become. In order to experience its growth and eventually reveal itself, your job would be to work on the soil in which it will be planted. This is symbolic to the foundation of us, the very environment we place ourselves in, especially the internal home of self. Quite often what threatens our home the most is the toxicity of our mind. If the seeds of potential and possibilities are planted within you, how you treat yourself truly matters.
Allowing for the element of air to provide clarity, space to grow, and words of encouragement when nothing appears to be happening.
Allowing for the element of fire to ignite the passion within and spark the flames of potential.
Allowing for the element of water to harmonize, hold, and purify what is taking root. Similar to the womb and embryonic fluid that holds new life.
And lastly the element of earth, the nutrients needed to support and stimulate growth. This is often found in the establishment of healthy boundaries, mindful observation, and checking in with yourself to see what is needed (more earth, air, fire, or water)?
Truly our job is to maintain inner harmony in order to allow for new beginnings of possibilities to take hold and root. What these possibilities are is truly endless in nature.
Inner Alchemy through the teachings of the Gene Keys
Shadow: Chaos
Dilemma: Clinging
Gift: Innovation
The only certainty we have in life is that change will occur. The body shows us this process even if we choose to fight it, mask it, or pretend we don’t see what it's trying to lovingly communicate. The egoic self (the mind) tries desperately to cling to an identity of its own creation of how it wishes to be seen in the world. In other words, we try to tell the seed of us what it should be instead of trusting that the seed arrived always knowing who it was. It's only requirement was for the human vessel to take the best care of itself, known as the mind-body-spirit connection, so that the seed could grow and flourish.
The shadow of chaos appears when we fight against the natural process of allowing ourselves to be who we truly are. We fight the change, we disregard the intuitive hits, we cling to what feels familiar and comfortable, refusing to part with our opinions, beliefs, material possessions, relationships, habits and addictions.
Yet how do we know? How do we know our full potential? How do we know the capacity to create heaven on earth when we don’t know for ourselves what that might feel or look like? How do we know true joy and happiness unless you have experienced it? How do we know unconditional love if we have existed in a world where love often comes with terms and conditions? How do we know anything, really?
Applying the Gift of Innovation
In allowing ourselves to consider the possibility that we don’t know, now opens a doorway within the mind to venture into new territory. This is accessing new states of consciousness as one taps into inspiration, curiosity, imagination, solution-based thinking. A whole world of potential awaits to be discovered when we move our ego out of the way, and allow for the way to be shown. This is truly the pathway of new beginnings! Children know this well. They welcome in the shadow of chaos through the invitation to play.
Play affords us the opportunity to learn and evolve. We immerse ourselves in the very act of living by releasing ourselves from clinging onto things that create the illusion of avoiding chaos. Life is what it is. The storms are not personal. Death is a guarantee. Life is uncertain. It is truly the greatest gift.
Imagine the potential that lies in store for you if you were to free yourself from clinging to things that hold you back from experiencing life and allow yourself to just play, experiment, have experiences, and learn. Imagine what that might do for the mind, body, and soul.
Are you ready now to begin?
Self Reflection Questions
Imagine that you are a little seed. Talk to the seed of you and ask, “What do you need right now?”
When you hear the wisdom from the seed of you do you feel a sensation in the body? If so, what else is this sensation trying to communicate to you?
When you look at the shadow of chaos, how do you feel about change or not knowing what lies ahead in the future?
Have you experienced change or chaos within your life? If so, when you look back at that time frame and the version of you that walked through what are you the most proud of? What would you like to stay as words of wisdom to that version of self?
What do you tend to cling to? What are you afraid to lose? How does holding onto these things create chaos in your life or within the body of you?
