If you've been feeling this inner desire, inner pressure to start something new, well, that energy is not just you. This is the energy of the collective right now from gate 53 that we're going to be feeling from now until the 12th of July, and we're going to be exploring that and more in today's episode of the traveling hypnotist. Welcome to the traveling hypnotist podcast, the ultimate destination to elevate your life through the power of travel, modern hypnosis, neuroscience and time tested wellness practices. I'm Nicole Hernandez, the traveling hypnotist. All right, it's time to journey within and go beyond. This is the human design frequency forecast for gate 53 July 7 through the 12th, 2025, it's your energetic guidance via human design. And of course, I give you creativity prompts at the end so that you can show up and flow according to gate 53 yes, we're back again. And if this is your first time joining me, I'm Nicole Hernandez, a top clinical hypnotist in New York City. I work out of the Four Seasons Hotel in New York Downtown, and I'm also a success coach here to help you make big moves with intention and support. Just a quick reminder, I just opened the wait list for high frequency success my VIP coaching. That's 12 weeks of intensive, intensive you and me. A lot of support. And this is really for the person who is tired of making excuses, the person who is ready to have a big shift in an area of your life, whether that is you are shifting in your career. You are tired of making the same amount of money because you have a lot of old limiting beliefs around money, maybe you're in relationship Groundhog Day, where you keep dating the same person over and over. That's what we're here to change. And I've just found over the years, those people who show up to do multiple sessions with me were the ones that had the most tremendous quantum leaps in their lives. And so I'm just putting everything together and making it available for you. All you have to do is sign up for the wait list. I will be opening two spots. We'll just have simple consultation calls where I can hear more about what you're working on, and we can make sure that we're aligned. That's it pretty simple. All right, let's keep going. Let's jump into the frequency theme, the gate of beginnings. So, yes, we are here. The sun is making its transit through gate 53 the gate of beginnings in human design is also called development in the I Ching. The I Ching, if you're not familiar, is the Chinese book of change. And this is what I love about human design, is that you have multiple ancient systems coming together, cross referencing, so that we can kind of get the best of everything. Now this is again, another week of root center pressure, and so if you have been feeling that tug or that push, that momentum, that desire to start something new, you're not imagining it. It's actually the energy that we've been feeling. Now this energy is not complicated, but it is strategic. So gate 53 asks, Are you beginning something that you're willing or able to see through to the end, if not pause, hit pause, because your strategy and your authority are your ultimate gatekeepers. And if you've had your human design reading with me, then you know what your strategy and authority are, and you know how to use those now. A gate, 53 is defined in your chart, meaning you are looking at your human design chart, and you see the little dot, and it's red. It's usually red on the charts that I pull, and you're seeing that you have 53 there in the defined in the root center. This means that you always have consistent access to this energy. And if you don't, well, that's okay. It's just means that right now, you're feeling this energy more. But if gate 53 is defined in your chart, you are someone who thrives at the starting line. Your anthem is, let's get it started by the Black Eyed Peas. You feel pressure to initiate, and when aligned, you deeply understand the power of slow and steady growth. But here's a shadow you'll want to check chronic serial starting and abandoning things once the buzz wears off. So if that's been you in the past, you've been working out of low frequency. You're not in your talent, you're not in your gift, and that's okay. We can change that. Awareness is where we start that change, also starting from a fear and lack mentality. And we're going to go through this a little bit later, so you can understand what I really mean by that. Now you may find yourself starting over and over without ever maturing. What you begin AND gate 53 is inviting you to grow beyond that old pattern and let your roots grow, let your little roots sink in a clear. Really had too much coffee today. Okay? What this transit brings to the party, whether you RSVPed or not, we're in week three of root center pressure, but this time, it's pushing us towards expansion. Day 53 urges us to launch from a place of abundance and not fear. That means being really honest with yourself about what you're beginning and why that why is so important here this week, this energy brings a desire to start new projects, relationships and ideas, the intention to initiate with presence, not panic, and a need for structure, grace and follow through. The shadow side of this energy can look like starting way too much at once, quitting halfway, because maybe it wasn't a full body Yes, gate 53 is not just about the spark of excitement. It's the whole cycle. It's planting the seeds, supporting the soil and developing the watering schedule and the decision to stay when it stops being exciting. Now I want to give you an example of what this could look like. So many people say that they want to start a podcast, which seems super exciting. You're looking at people's success. They have 1000s of people that listen to their podcasts on a daily basis. And do you see that they're doing well, and they're thought leaders, et cetera? Well, that's great if we're going for the outcome completely understand that is exciting. But what happens when we start a podcast is that there's a lot of work that goes into it, and week after week, you're putting in the time to create content, to research, to edit, to find guests, and at some point there comes a time, and it's usually around episode 20, where you're like, actually, I'm not getting 1000s of listeners here. Should I just give up? And that's what I mean by this last part is that you didn't really think that you would struggle a little bit, or where you would be challenged, or where you have to actually commit to something. And always remember that there was this coaching environment. And a woman who worked for Gary V at VaynerMedia said that Gary produced 100 videos before he actually really started to see any traction. And so one of the things I always do is ask myself, could I produce an up to 100 episodes, or up to 100 pieces of content before I give up? And if the answer is yes, then that's where you say, Okay, I'm all in. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna launch a podcast, but you have to be willing to show up without the quick success, and we are so trained now as a society to want things on demand, for Uber Eats, to come and deliver our lunch, for us to immediately be able to access something online or to purchase something online, right? It's all easy, so easy, and unfortunately, success isn't always available at a click of a button, unless you have millions of dollars that you're able just to put into hiring a whole team to do that for you, which most people don't the frequency spectrum of gate 53 now let's look at how gate 53 shows up in its full range. Remember, there's no judging here. We all have a choice to turn up or down our frequency. It is not stagnant, okay? Low Frequency stress due to starting something and not wanting to complete it. I think that's pretty self explanatory. Number two, thinking you need to do everything yourself. So if, especially if you are a manifesting generator or a manifester, here, a lot of times it's very easy for us to initiate. I'm a manifesting generator. It's an easy for us have ideas. It's easy for us to initiate, and it's and the follow through is not always easy. So it's important to know you, you don't actually have to finish everything yourself. You could be the fire starter, but then you have a strategy lined up where it goes to maybe a VA or you have somebody on your team that can carry the ball for you and get all the things done. Number three, having too many projects that you can't finish, and that makes you feel like a failure. So you have so much on your plate, you keep adding more, you just don't have the time, the bandwidth, and that makes you feel like a failure. So it's not that you are a failure, it's just that You've overdone it, you've overfilled your cup, you've over scheduled yourself, and it just it's just not possible. So I really want you to think about, Do I need to add another project to my list right now, or is it that I need to take off four projects and do the one thing that I really care about, number four, you hold tight to the past and keep things as they were because you've. Find it nearly impossible to embrace new experiences or beginnings in life, and if this speaks to you and you know who you are, then there's just a lot of fear here. There's a lot of fear of the unknown. And that is something that I really encourage you to work on, is how can I allow myself to tiptoe into new things into new experiences, to be uncomfortable, because that's where you're really denying yourself the ability to grow. Number five, you're overly serious and create walls around you through a lack of vulnerability and openness to new possibilities with new people. And yes, I'm also talking to you. I'm talking to the one who avoids dating, the one who's avoiding the new relationship because the last relationship was so challenging. There are so many people who have gone through a marriage, and yes, it was hard and it was heartbreaking, it was disappointing. But that does not mean that every single relationship moving forward is going to be like that, unless you really haven't addressed your patterns, and then that's really something that we should work on together. Number six, avoiding something new to avoid facing yourself. And what I mean by this is that we are avoiding the hard parts. We are avoiding maybe where we lack discipline. We are avoiding the fact that maybe we do need to develop some new skills. We are avoiding the fact that we don't like confrontation in one way or another, and it's really something that we should consider, right? It's again, we're lacking the ability to grow and mature, is what that beginning represents. So it's really thinking about the full cycle here. The beginning begins the full cycle of maturity. That's what the beginning is all about. And if we don't allow ourselves to move through the maturity, which sometimes is not pretty, then we're not really allowing ourselves to be in our fullest expression, our fullest capacity of what we could be. All right, let's talk about the high frequency. So you're number one, great at planning and following through to the end, congratulations to you. You get a gold star. Number two, you're seeing life as an opportunity to grow, and that's really what it's all about. Life is an opportunity to grow. And number three, knowing it's in your best interest to have people support you in finishing the things you start, especially if you're better at the big vision than the details. Again, I'm talking to you my manifestors and my manifesting generators. And number four, trusting that not every inspiration needs to be acted on, and strategy and authority will tell you which projects are correct for you. So let's talk about the energetic Tip of the Week. Be with the intention of the beginning this week. I want you to slow down and ask yourself, What's the root of this new beginning? So thinking about what is it that you're planning? What's the intention behind it? When we start things from a place of fear and scarcity. The result often creates more struggle for us. We almost spiral into more fear and scarcity, okay? And when we start things from the root of clarity and purpose and growth, you know, with the mindset of, I'm going to grow from this, it gives us a whole different result. And so I want you to think about those two intentions. Am I growing this from fear and lack, or am I growing it from abundance? What am I going into this new beginning from? So am I going into a new relationship, for example, from a place of I can't find anybody and I'm lonely, or is it I'm going into a relationship because I know I've done my inner work and I'm a badass, amazing person, and I'm going to call In somebody who's just as amazing as me, two very different ways to start a relationship. One is going to lead you towards attracting more of that lack, maybe being in relationships where you feel like you need to prove yourself, and the other one is likely going to be really fun, really enjoyable and soul affirming, right? So you're gonna have two different experiences based off where the intention is coming from, where the energy is moving from. So if we slow down and if we look at this, I want you to ask yourself, what's at the root of this beginning ask, Did I begin this from? Fear or lack. Did you set up your dating profile from a place of fear and lack? Did you start your business from a place of fear or lack? Did I begin this from a place of clarity, purpose and abundance? If the answer is yes, keep going. And can I commit to growing this even when it gets uncomfortable, expecting it to be easy. I'm also not coming from a place of, I'm in lack I'm coming from a place of, I can only get better from here. And that's really what you want to think about in your beginnings. Where are you ultimately coming from? That's what 53 can really do, and that's what this energy of gate 53 can really bring us. It can bring us beautiful possibilities. It can bring us growth. It can help us just to you know, step into our light, into new opportunities, into the juiciness of what life has to hold for us, if we're willing to be in the uncomfortable parts of it. Now let's get visible gate 53 content prompts. All right, so this week we'll dive into the beginnings, the intention, the mindset and the navigations. Here are some prompts for you to use. Number One POV so you could put POV on your Instagram reel, for example. One day you stopped asking for permission to begin again, and everything changed. So this is a twist on a before and after, whether it was a business pivot, a relationship reset, a brand new morning routine, this is your moment to share the liberation of trusting your own timing, and I would say trusting your intention as well. Number two, my best mindset hack for starting over without spiraling into self doubt, is, and here's the thought behind it, is that people do crave tools for self trust. So what helped you say yes to a new beginning. What helped you step into your own new beginning that someone else can learn from? Number three, I'm here to remind you colon, you don't need a five year plan to follow a soul nudge. Now this could be an opportunity to share time when you followed your strategy and authority instead of overthinking things. And a lot of times as high achievers, we love our plans, our five year plans, but if we are following strategy and authority, which is that stair step kind of approach to life, where I'm going to try this and let's see what happens and see what else comes of this, then we really kind of move into a place where we find what's really working for us, instead of having it to look like a certain way, right? And that's what this is really about here, and number four, and just like that, a tiny whisper turned into a wildly aligned new chapter. So this is where you're going to tell the story of a small desire that grew into something unexpectedly beautiful, bonus points, if it made zero logical sense at the time and still worked. Number five, what no one tells you about new beginnings list, the mess, the magic, the misconceptions you lived through. Gate 53 reminds us that most initiations don't feel glamorous. They feel gritty, uncertain and deeply real. Then this was the podcast episode I released yesterday on the traveling hypnosis that speaks to the pivots, that speaks to the beginnings and starting over again and again. Don't fight the energy.
