Understanding the Types of Fears

In traditional chinese medicine (TCM), the practitioners believe that fears are trapped in the kidneys. But based on the system of Human Design founded by Ra Uru Hu, he had derived that there are different types of fears that arise from the various energy centers.

To see which human design gates are activated in your Human Design, you can enter your birth details in this website to check for free:

The activated gates will be shown with certain numbers circled in purple. For example, 17 and 11 are activated in Ajna center; 31 is activated in Throat center; 7 is activated in G center. The energy centers such as Head, Ajna, Heart/ ego and Solar Plexus as shown below in white (not colored) are undefined centers. This means that these energy centers are open or easily exposed to external conditionings and influences from other people, society, environment etc.

To understand about which type of fear will manifest based on our Human Design, we can look at which gates are activated after generating the free Human Design chart. The activated gates carry the gift and shadow frequencies. When the gate is in a defined center (colored center) such as spleen as shown in the picture above, it means you have a fixed energy in your spleen even when you are in the presence of other people. In the example above, the heart center is a undefined center with activated gates 21 and 26. The undefined centers also show where our not-self conditionings are.

So in this example, the fear gates include 18, 28, 32, 50, 57, 48. If this person is in the presence of someone who has an activated gate 44, this person will also be influenced by the fears manifested as gate 44 - fear of the past because there is a hanging gate that connects gate 26 to gate 44. The channel of gate 26 is broken and hanging without a full connection to gate 44. This is called a hanging gate.

By knowing the types of fears, we can understand and be more aware of where we hold those fears and redirect our own energies; and also be aware of where we are prone to conditionings from external influences and center ourselves in our true self energies.

By working with our activated gates, we can also understand about our gifts and strengths. In each Human Design Gate, there are shadow and gift frequencies that are in polarity. When we work on these shadows to shine light onto them, it actually activates the gifts.
