Gate 46 · Embodiment

There are 64 gates, one for each hexagram of the I Ching, mapped onto the zodiac. Here's the keynote for Gate 46 · Embodiment and where it sits in the bodygraph.

Gate 46 lives in the G centre and, together with gate 29, forms the channel of discovery: a yes said to life is carried through to the end by the body and by experience. The tradition describes the theme as embodiment: the body is the very place where life happens rather than an instrument for goals, and luck here often looks like a run of turning up exactly where it mattered. In the personality this is conscious attention to the physical: movement, rest, sensation; in the design it is an unnoticed plasticity that drops a person into the flow of circumstances. The system suggests measuring periods by the fullness of living as well as by achievements: sometimes the most important thing in a story is the story itself. How much are your days lived through the body right now, and not only through the head?
