The obstruction that provokes, freeing the spirit it presses against.
This gate is a barb in the side of the sleeping, provoking energy where it is stuck. Its shadow provokes to wound, addicted to reaction. Its gift is dynamism: friction placed precisely where a spirit is frozen, so life can move again.
The practice is aim. Before provoking, feel what wants freeing, in yourself first. Moods here are transpersonal weather; ride them rather than obey them. A provocation born of love breaks dams without breaking people, and what pours through is liberation.
Provocation → Dynamism → Liberation
