Gate 20“The Gate of the Now”
Present awareness that sees what is happening
Summary
Gate 20 is in the Throat Center and is often called the Gate of the Now. Its power is presence: the capacity to speak or act from what is true in the moment, without needing a long story about it.
In alignment, this gate brings spontaneous clarity and awakens others through honest immediacy. In distortion, it can speak to get attention, act impulsively, or feel restless when the moment is quiet. Presence is the practice: when the body is here, expression becomes naturally correct.
