The Channel of Preservation (27-50) joins Gate 27, Caring, and Gate 50, Values. A design of custodianship.
What it means
The Channel of Preservation links the Sacral's caring with the Spleen's values. It looks after others, protects the young and the vulnerable, and upholds the tribe's values.
The care is genuine and needs boundaries. Caring for everyone who asks, without response, ends in exhaustion.
It belongs to the Tribal circuit's Defense branch, which nurtures, protects and preserves the people one is responsible for.
