Channel 5-15: The Channel of Rhythm

As someone with Channel 5-15, the Channel of Rhythm, I’ve always been fascinated with this energy. It’s common in Generators and Manifesting Generators, and I can feel how it dictates a lot of how I move through the world.

So, let’s dive in to the channel, as well as the expression of Gate 5 and Gate 15 on their own.


Channel keywords:

  • flow

  • rhythm

  • love of humanity

  • magnetism

  • nature

  • effortlessness

  • timing

  • life force and creation

Gate 5-15 is an expression of our Sacral life force energy as it comprises, and connects to, the natural world.

Nature has a flow all its own. The universe has a flow. Sometimes it’s hard to understand this because it can feel like entropy reigns supreme. However, the reason that it’s not always easy to understand the flow is that there is not just one flow. There are many flows, and many rhythms. Every aspect of our natural world has its own flow, as does every human being with this channel.

People who have this channel defined have their own rhythms and their own flow. They have a place to be, a time to be there, and a way to get there. They have to do it that way. It’s not necessarily a conscious thing; it’s just built into them.

If they allow their inner Authority to guide them, they move through the world in harmony. They ooze magnetism, pulling others into their own flow so that they can also reap the benefits of always being in the right place at the right time.

When they allow their mind to take over, they can create chaos. Each individual’s expression of this channel has a big effect on those around them! This channel can subtly lead a group to a beautiful place, or to frustration and disaster.

GATE 5 - THE GATE OF FIXED PATTERNS

Keywords: tenacity, rhythm, routine, fixed patterns, compulsivity, predictability, discipline

Gate 5 is the part of this channel that holds the energy of a fixed rhythm and pattern. These are the routines and rituals that constitute daily life as a human/mammal on Planet Earth and keep us connected to our natural state as healthy beings.

If you have only gate 5, your daily routines and practices are incredibly important, and being forced to veer away from these rhythms can be unhealthy for you. It’s okay to stick with your own creature routines. Predictability can be a beautiful way of existing.

GATE 15 - THE GATE OF EXTREMES

Keywords: love of humanity, flexibility, openness, full-spectrum, diversity, extremes, acceptance

Gate 15 brings the other side of this channel’s energy - total flexibility, extremes in behavior, and a love and acceptance for all the weird and varied ways we show up as humans. Basically, this gate is saying - it’s ok for each of us to behave according to our own inner timing. If one human is staying up til 5am, another is waking up at 5am. If one person is a fast walker, another is slow and intentional. There is always someone out there to balance out our extreme behavior when we consider ourselves in the collective sense.

Gate 15 knows that extremes are okay.

If you have Gate 15, you may find that your rhythms have extremes. You can’t predict when and where you will do something, and that’s ok for you. You’re not sure when you’ll go to bed or when you’ll eat, or how much you’ll sleep. You’ve tried it all, and whatever you’re doing is okay for that time. You can trust your inner Authority.

REAL-LIFE EXAMPLES

As someone with Channel 5-15, I can confirm - when I honor my inner Authority, I can achieve this incredible flow. It’s one of my favorite feelings in the world because it’s my natural state. I can’t be rushed, I don’t like to operate 24/7 on someone else’s restrictive timetable because I have my own sense of when and where I should be. I can trust that I’ll show up right on time.

So many times I’ve seen myself push to be somewhere that didn’t feel right, and I create chaos. I almost crash my car, I miss the bus, I end up waiting for 30 mins for a passing train, or the thing I went to pick up is suddenly out of stock.

When I honor my own timing, life is like gliding down a life-force river. I run into the perfect people, I hit all the green lights, I find the perfect item at the store (and often the last one available). Everything feels like it works.


My stepson has Gate 15 only, which means that he and I have some natural clashing in our house! Since I have my rhythms that pull everyone in, I notice that my partner (who has neither the 5 or 15 defined) energetically syncs up with me and my rhythms effortlessly.

However, my stepson is always “in my way!” He is always either in the bathroom when I need to go or trying to go when I’m going, will be in front of a drawer I need to open, be loud on mornings when I’m sleeping later and up late on nights when I’m sleeping earlier. He has an extremely varied eating and sleeping schedule and his sleep schedule will get so off that it only resets once he has gotten fully off by 24 hours! He currently has two very different school start times that alternate through the week (8:30am and 12:30pm) and this seems to work better with his extreme rhythms than a consistent schedule ever did. It’s so interesting to observe!

Do you have this channel? Gate 5? Gate 15? What are your experiences? I’d love to hear!

Love,

Rachel
