Vitality Insight for Gate 6
The specific Vitality Insight for Gate 6 (Conflict) from Dr. LaVeena's Gates of Vitality Reference Guide covers the "PH of the Body," Kidneys, Prostate, Pancreas, Nervous System, Lungs — the biological seat of this gate's expression in your body. This gate's Glycine codon influences how your body expresses and maintains the organs and systems associated with the Solar Plexus Center. The fear frequency of Intimacy has a specific somatic signature in the Solar Plexus Center's biology.
