Saying Yes or No With Your Whole Being

The Power of Devotion

Have you ever noticed the difference between doing something half-heartedly versus throwing your whole being into it? That’s the lesson of Gate 29 – the Gate of Devotion.

This energy doesn’t come from logic, strategy, or careful planning. It comes from the deep “Yes” of the body, a commitment that arises from the Sacral center — the life force itself. Sometimes, even when the mind screams “No, stop, this makes no sense!”, the body keeps moving forward, devoted to what feels right on a deeper level.

Other times, the body refuses to budge, no matter how hard the mind insists.

That’s because true devotion isn’t mental — it’s energetic. It’s not about forcing yourself to commit; it’s about recognizing what your energy naturally supports.

When Gate 29 is active, we are invited to look at what we are saying “Yes” to in our lives. Are we fully devoted, or are we scattering ourselves in half-hearted commitments? Half-hearted devotion drains us, leaving us frustrated, resentful, or stuck. But when we give ourselves fully — body, heart, and soul — to the right people, projects, and experiences, we unlock resilience, endurance, and flow.

This is not about blind loyalty or stubborn persistence. It’s about devotion to what is correct for us, to what our energy is truly aligned with.

When we honor that devotion, we experience the richness of life, not just as passengers pulled along by circumstance, but as conscious beings who are awake to the ride.

Devotion doesn’t guarantee that everything will be easy or blissful. Life still has its struggles, its chaos, its messy human moments. But devotion gives those moments meaning. It allows us to stay engaged, to keep showing up, and to discover joy even in difficulty.

So this week, notice where your energy says “Yes.” Notice where your body keeps moving even when your mind doubts. And just as importantly, notice where your energy says “No”, because not everything is meant for your devotion.

Commitment is sacred when it’s whole. Let your “Yes” be a full one.
