There was a time when my coaching business felt like it was running me instead of the other way around.
I was pouring my heart into every task, yet the joy I once felt for my work was slipping away.
Every day seemed to be a grind, and even though I had a clear vision for where I wanted to go, the path to get there felt murky.
My creativity was stifled. And productivity? Let’s just say it wasn’t where I wanted it to be.
I was starting to feel more drained than inspired 😫
Since this is a Sacral center issue, I dove into deconditioning the Gates I have in there, and things.started.FLOWING.
Shift by shift, and the pressure was lifting, and my creativity & playfulness were being dialed up!
Creativity flowed, and work felt more like play 💃
All because I DECIDED to work WITH my energy instead of forcing myself.
And here’s the best part: this isn’t just for those with a defined Sacral center like me.
I’ve seen these same shifts happen for my Projector, Manifestor, and Reflector clients, too.
So look up your chart and see if you have any of these gates defined in your Sacral, and see how you can turn things around.
Gate 3 – Difficulty at the Beginning
Blocked: Feeling overwhelmed by new beginnings, chaos, or disorder. This can manifest as indecision or procrastination when faced with starting something new.
The Shifts: Embrace the idea that all beginnings are inherently chaotic. Break down large tasks into smaller, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. Tap into your creative energy by seeing the beauty in the process of organizing chaos into something structured. Lean into spontaneity when inspiration strikes, trusting that the initial disorder will eventually lead to clarity and productivity.
In Flow: You feel comfortable navigating the initial chaos of new ventures, trusting that your ability to create order from disorder will lead to successful outcomes. Your creativity thrives as you harmonize chaos into innovation, and you’re confident in your ability to turn potential into reality.
Gate 5 – Fixed Rhythms
Blocked: Being stuck in rigid routines or feeling out of sync with your natural rhythms. This can cause frustration or burnout when life disrupts your established patterns.
The Shifts: Allow yourself to be more flexible with your routines. Recognize that creativity often flourishes in moments of disruption. Experiment with new schedules, settings, or rituals that invite fresh energy into your life. Embrace spontaneity to break free from monotony, allowing your creativity to flow when you least expect it.

Gate 9 – Focus
Blocked: Losing sight of the bigger picture by becoming too focused on minor details, leading to analysis paralysis or burnout.
The Shifts: Step back and assess the broader vision of your goals. Use visualization techniques to reconnect with your larger purpose.
