1. The Throat Center: Your Communication Powerhouse 🗣️

- Clear-cut understanding with no gray areas

- Voice: “I think I know all the details” or “I don't”
- Perfect for explaining complex concepts simply
Gate 56: The Gate of the Storyteller
- Voice: “I believe in the story I'm telling” or not
- Natural ability to share compelling narratives
Gate 16: The Gate of Enthusiasm
- Voice: “I'm here to experiment” or not
- Connected to excitement and experimentation
Gate 20: The Gate of the Now

If you have this center open, follow your strategy and authority before you communicate.

Making Strategic Decisions About Social Media 🎯
This detailed understanding of each gate within the core business centers helps you make more aligned decisions about where and how to show up in your business.
Remember, it's not about forcing yourself into any particular mode of operation, but rather about honoring your natural design and working with it.
Ask yourself:
- Does social media align with my throat center's natural expression?
- Does it serve my G center's purpose and direction?
- Do I have the sustainable sacral energy for it?
