Gate 12“The Gate of Caution”
Articulate caution when choosing the right words
Summary
Gate 12 is in the Throat Center and carries the theme of caution in expression. It knows that timing and mood matter, especially when words carry emotion. When the moment is right, the voice can be refined, artistic, and deeply affecting.
When distorted, this gate either holds back out of fear or speaks too soon and regrets it. Its wisdom is restraint: waiting until the inner climate is aligned so expression lands as truth rather than as reaction. Silence is not a problem here; it is part of the mechanics.
