32. Understanding Gates and Channels

It’s time to go deep and get detailed! This episode is all about the gates and channels in Human Design. (You know those lines and all the numbers in the centers? Yeah. We’re talking about THOSE.)
Your channels and gates add a lot of energy to your design, and while understanding them is definitely diving into the deep end, it can help with appreciating your design as a whole. Your channels often underscore themes already present in your larger design. (They tend to act as a highlighter – showing you what’s really important to your energy and what you’re definitely here to do.)
So if you’ve wondered “What are those numbers in the centers?” or “What are those red lines?” this episode will answer all of that and more! It’s time to move past your Human Design centers and go a bit deeper into the smaller (but still important) points of your design.
We’ll cover
– What gates and channels are
– Why they matter
– How they influence your everyday life (especially in relationships)
