The Channel of Exploration (10-34)

What it means

The Channel of Exploration connects the G centre's behaviour of the self with the Sacral's raw power. It gives the energy to follow personal convictions, regardless of what others think is wise.

Its strength is independence. It works best in response, so the convictions it follows are ones the body has actually said yes to rather than ideas of who one should be.

The two gates

• Gate 10
• Gate 34

Its circuit

It belongs to the Integration channels, the self-empowering core of the Individual circuitry. Its energy is about survival and self-love, and it is complete in itself.

Questions

What does Channel 10-34 mean in Human Design?

Channel 10-34 is the Channel of Exploration: a design of following one's convictions. The Channel of Exploration connects the G centre's behaviour of the self with the Sacral's raw power. It gives the energy to follow personal convictions, regardless of what others think is wise.

Which centres does the Channel of Exploration connect?

It connects the G centre, through Gate 10, Treading, with the Sacral centre, through Gate 34, Power. Having the channel defines both centres.

What if I only have Gate 10 or Gate 34?

Then it is a hanging gate, half of the channel. The Channel of Exploration completes whenever a transiting planet or another person activates the other gate, for as long as that lasts.
