Gate 36 · New experiences
There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 36 · New experiences and where it sits in the bodygraph.
Gate 36 lives in the Solar Plexus centre and, together with gate 35, forms the channel of changeability. The tradition describes it as the point where a person meets what has not yet been lived: the new excites, pulls and churns a little, all at once. In the personality this shows as a conscious appetite for strong impressions and fresh storylines; in the design it is a deep unease that rises before changes on its own, with no visible cause. The system suggests reading that flutter as the emotional wave that accompanies any threshold and settles as the experience is lived, rather than as a sign of trouble: experience ripens together with the feeling. How do you usually meet the unfamiliar, and what changes if you let the first wave settle a little?
