The Channel of Power (34-57)

What it means

The Channel of Power connects the Sacral's strength with the Spleen's intuition. It combines instant awareness with the power to act on it, which makes it remarkably good at survival.

It is still Sacral energy, so it waits for something to respond to. Acting purely on intuition without response tends to misfire.

The two gates

• Gate 34
• Gate 57

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.

Which centres does the Channel of Power connect?

It connects the Sacral centre, through Gate 34, Power, with the Spleen centre, through Gate 57, Intuitive Clarity. Having the channel defines both centres.

What if I only have Gate 34 or Gate 57?
