Conflict

One reflexively opens or closes when in another person’s aura, thereby controlling the emotional flow from the Solar Plexus, which determines whether there is the necessary friction for intimacy. Here we deal with moods, sensitivity, and feelings—emotional intimacy occurs only if there is resonance with others, naturally preserving a boundary between one’s body and the outside world. Fear of intimacy is also associated with this Gate, which can be eased or overcome when connecting to Gate 59 and its ability to break down barriers.
