Human Design Gate 34 – The Gate of Power – The Power of the Great – Human Design Gate Strengths

Let’s dive into gate 34 in human design the gate of power, this energy is the survival (and enhancement) of the individual. This is literally where life force energy comes from and the power to individuate. This is the energy of the individual and their power. The idea behind this energy is all about knowing when to use your power as an individual.

If we use the animal kingdom as an example, the lion does not use its power all of the time. The other animals are aware of the power of the lion, and therefore, he does not need to use it all the time. Power is not being utilized all the time; it is the performance of knowing that the rest of the animal kingdom is aware of the power the lion has and that power only needs to be used when the timing is correct. This energy is all about asserting a display of individual power when the timing is right. This energy happens in response as a result of frustration, and then it displays its power. At its core, it is concerned with the survival of the human form – “Don’t mess with my ability to survive.”

This energy does not need others. We are here to survive alone. The important thing to remember here is that the power is inherent, and within it does not need to be used all the time in order to be powerful. It is powerful simply by existing. The bully doesn’t go around saying, “I’m a bully. I’m powerful, so be afraid of me.” They are simply a bully. While the energy of this gate isn’t negative, that was just a good example. This is the show of power to avoid conflict in order to survive and ultimately thrive.

People with this energy respond to their frustration and can use their display of power to bring people together to empower them, transform them, and bring powerful ideas to life.

This gate 34 in human design is complex as there are many ways in which this energy can be present. The gate 34 (and 27) are the only gates of the sacral that are about functional awareness. The 34 connected to the 20 articulating/displaying power – this is their part of the doing process, and through this, they empower others; the 34 connected to the 10 is the empowerment of the identity, and the 34 connected to the 57 is the power of survival.

In the integration gates and channels that we are dealing with here, it is important to note that which gates are present influences how their chart integrates together. For example, I have gate 10 – my integration process is always going to be through the lens of empowering the individual.

The Depths of Gate 34 in Human Design

People with gates 34 may struggle with the power that they have within them. This often emerges as power struggles with others, particularly parents or people in positions of power, as well as internally. Since this is an integration gate, it integrates our chart together. So here it is: the balance of power, how much power to exert and when. If they exert too much power all of the time, they will burn themselves out, or if they don’t exert any power, they will appear weak. The optimal expression of power brings strength to oneself and empowerment to others.

The important thing to note here is that this gate and all of the other gates in the integration channels are about embodiment. As soon as we become aware that we are embodied…we are missing the embodiment because all of these energies are happening in the now, in the moment, immersing ourselves in the here and now. This is important to note because if you are to actually be at the optimal expression, there isn’t a lot of awareness around it. I experienced this with a coach that I work with. She immerses herself in the moment, and time almost becomes irrelevant. She is in her element, and she often remarks after the fact; I don’t know where that came from. That is the energy of the embodiment piece of all the integration channels.
