On Saturday, May 21st the Sun will move into Gate 20, METAMORPHOSIS, ANTICIPATION, THE NOW, or CHARISMA. In the I-Ching, this hexagram is called CONTEMPLATION.
The present moment is life itself. Yet, people live as if the opposite were true and treat the present moment as a stepping stone to the next moment – a means to an end. It is through gratitude for the present moment that the spiritual dimension of life opens up. - Eckhart Tolle It isn't always easy to remain present. Sometimes it can feel impossible. For many, it never happens. They live their lives so caught up in regret about the past, or worry about the future, that they never fully appreciate all that is before them. They are never really present in the moment. It seems to me that our culture is set up to trap people in a cycle that keeps them in a constant state of anxiety. You can tune into the news, 24 hours a day if you would like, and find something that will likely trigger anxiety. What is interesting about stress, anxiety, and fear is that it actually causes the grey matter in our brain to shrink and the area for fight or flight, the reptilian part of our brain called the amygdala, to become enlarged and reactive. Animals become more intelligent when they experience anxiety. Humans, on the other hand, lose their ability to be calm, rational, logical, and responsive when they stay in a state of anxiety. Decision-making, when a person is stressed, is often deeply flawed and terribly reactive. It is really crucial, for the sake of our mental and physical well-being, to find ways to remain present. Meditation is one way to be fully present and engaged with the moment as is play, exercise, art, and really anything one can do that puts them in the "zone". Being in the zone is being free and engaged with what is right before you, and nothing else, and it feels amazing! As this energy flows to all of us you might ask yourself if there is something that you do to fully engage in the now and remain present. If so do more of that! You will be amazed by how much more peace and joy you experience in your day-to-day life! Richard Rudd's thoughts on Gene Key 20 Shadow- Superficiality Gift – Self Assurance Siddhi– Presence “The two trigrams that make up this hexagram are ‘the gentle wind’ and ‘the earth’, so we have to listen to the whispering wind of awareness, and let it blow into all the corners of our life.” – Richard Rudd, 64 Ways Blessings to you! April Each year the sun moves counterclockwise around the gates of the mandala (like the sun moves through the astrological signs), spending approximately 6 days in each gate. As the sun (or any other celestial body) moves through a gate it **“activates”**the energy of that gate. This means that the energy is released to “flow” to us. The sun is considered the most dominant and important transit to be aware of.) **Human Design is a synthesis of ancient and modern sciences; proven to be a valuable tool for human understanding.
