Guarding Your Gates

If there is a leak in any of these gates, you become vulnerable to manipulation, distraction, and emotional control. 🌬 Mind (Air)What you consume shapes how you think. Guard what you listen to, watch, and read. You are in control. 🌍 Body + Physical World (Earth)Your environment, stability, and physical foundation determine how firmly you stand. The spoils, 🔥 Spirit + Will (Fire)Your purpose, discipline, and authority. This is where your power lives. When the spirit is willing, the other gates adhere. 🌊 Emotions (Water)Feel deeply, but do not allow emotions to control your decisions. Emotions are fleeting. Of course, these are the basic viewpoints of the gates. It is up to you to gather the meaning in its entirety if you so choose. This is a public episode.
