Behaviour of the Self

In short
What does Gate 10 mean in Human Design?
Gate 10 governs the behaviour of the Self: how one stands in the world. It all begins with self-love. When one loves and accepts oneself as one is, one acts naturally and inspires others to do the same.
Self-love and authentic behaviour that flows from honoring one's own nature.

Individual Circuit
Mutative, unique and non-conformist energy : transforms consciousness through example.
The Shadow: "Self-Obsession", is the conditioned pattern where this energy contracts and resists. Recognizing it without judgment is the first step of transformation.
The Gift: "Naturalness", emerges when the Shadow is embraced. The same energy, freed, becomes a natural talent in service of self and others.
The Siddhi: "Being", is the highest frequency, the transcendent essence of this gate once the Gift is fully lived.
Affirmation
"By loving and accepting myself as I am, I act with a naturalness that honors life."
