This week on The Traveling Hypnotist Podcast, top NYC clinical hypnotist and coach Nicole Hernandez explores the expansive energy of Gate 53 in Human Design—the Gate of Beginnings—and how it’s inviting you to initiate with intention.

If you’ve been feeling the pressure to start something—whether it’s a new business, relationship, or chapter of your life—you’re not alone. Gate 53 brings a powerful momentum to begin again. 

In this episode, Nicole breaks down how to harness this energy wisely—so you’re not just chasing shiny new things, but consciously planting seeds that are built to grow.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • Why Gate 53 isn’t just about starting—but about sustainability, integrity, and energetic follow-through
  • How to distinguish between a soul-led beginning vs. a fear-based escape
  • The shadow signs of serial starting and how to break the pattern
  • Why some half-finished dreams still served their purpose—and how to honor them
  • A self-check ritual to help you initiate from abundance, not anxiety

Whether Gate 53 is defined in your chart or just stirring things up this week, this episode will help you navigate the pressure, choose your path with clarity, and make your next beginning one that actually sticks.

Tune in now—and if you’re feeling the call to start something new, this is your energetic permission slip.

Unknown (00:00):
If you've been feeling this inner desire, inner

(00:02):
pressure to start something new,well, that energy is not just
you. This is the energy of thecollective right now from gate
53 that we're going to befeeling from now until the 12th
of July, and we're going to beexploring that and more in
today's episode of the travelinghypnotist. Welcome to the

(00:23):
traveling hypnotist podcast, theultimate destination to elevate
your life through the power oftravel, modern hypnosis,
neuroscience and time testedwellness practices. I'm Nicole
Hernandez, the travelinghypnotist. All right, it's time
to journey within and go beyond.
This is the human designfrequency forecast for gate 53

(00:49):
July 7 through the 12th, 2025,it's your energetic guidance via
human design. And of course, Igive you creativity prompts at
the end so that you can show upand flow according to gate 53
yes, we're back again. And ifthis is your first time joining
me, I'm Nicole Hernandez, a topclinical hypnotist in New York

(01:10):
City. I work out of the FourSeasons Hotel in New York
Downtown, and I'm also a successcoach here to help you make big
moves with intention andsupport. Just a quick reminder,
I just opened the wait list forhigh frequency success my VIP
coaching. That's 12 weeks ofintensive, intensive you and me.

(01:30):
A lot of support. And this isreally for the person who is
tired of making excuses, theperson who is ready to have a
big shift in an area of yourlife, whether that is you are
shifting in your career. You aretired of making the same amount
of money because you have a lotof old limiting beliefs around
money, maybe you're inrelationship Groundhog Day,

(01:53):
where you keep dating the sameperson over and over. That's
what we're here to change. AndI've just found over the years,
those people who show up to domultiple sessions with me were
the ones that had the mosttremendous quantum leaps in
their lives. And so I'm justputting everything together and
making it available for you. Allyou have to do is sign up for
the wait list. I will be openingtwo spots. We'll just have

(02:15):
simple consultation calls whereI can hear more about what
you're working on, and we canmake sure that we're aligned.
That's it pretty simple. Allright, let's keep going. Let's
jump into the frequency theme,the gate of beginnings. So, yes,
we are here. The sun is makingits transit through gate 53 the
gate of beginnings in humandesign is also called

(02:38):
development in the I Ching. TheI Ching, if you're not familiar,
is the Chinese book of change.
And this is what I love abouthuman design, is that you have
multiple ancient systems comingtogether, cross referencing, so
that we can kind of get the bestof everything. Now this is
again, another week of rootcenter pressure, and so if you

(03:00):
have been feeling that tug orthat push, that momentum, that
desire to start something new,you're not imagining it. It's
actually the energy that we'vebeen feeling. Now this energy is
not complicated, but it isstrategic. So gate 53 asks, Are
you beginning something thatyou're willing or able to see

(03:22):
through to the end, if notpause, hit pause, because your
strategy and your authority areyour ultimate gatekeepers. And
if you've had your human designreading with me, then you know
what your strategy and authorityare, and you know how to use
those now. A gate, 53 is definedin your chart, meaning you are
looking at your human designchart, and you see the little

(03:43):
dot, and it's red. It's usuallyred on the charts that I pull,
and you're seeing that you have53 there in the defined in the
root center. This means that youalways have consistent access to
this energy. And if you don't,well, that's okay. It's just
means that right now, you'refeeling this energy more. But if
gate 53 is defined in yourchart, you are someone who

(04:05):
thrives at the starting line.
Your anthem is, let's get itstarted by the Black Eyed Peas.
You feel pressure to initiate,and when aligned, you deeply
understand the power of slow andsteady growth. But here's a
shadow you'll want to checkchronic serial starting and
abandoning things once the buzzwears off. So if that's been you
in the past, you've been workingout of low frequency. You're not

(04:28):
in your talent, you're not inyour gift, and that's okay. We
can change that. Awareness iswhere we start that change, also
starting from a fear and lackmentality. And we're going to go
through this a little bit later,so you can understand what I
really mean by that. Now you mayfind yourself starting over and
over without ever maturing. Whatyou begin AND gate 53 is

(04:50):
inviting you to grow beyond thatold pattern and let your roots
grow, let your little roots sinkin a clear. Really had too much
coffee today. Okay? What thistransit brings to the party,
whether you RSVPed or not, we'rein week three of root center
pressure, but this time, it'spushing us towards expansion.

(05:13):
Day 53 urges us to launch from aplace of abundance and not fear.
That means being really honestwith yourself about what you're
beginning and why that why is soimportant here this week, this
energy brings a desire to startnew projects, relationships and

(05:33):
ideas, the intention to initiatewith presence, not panic, and a
need for structure, grace andfollow through. The shadow side
of this energy can look likestarting way too much at once,
quitting halfway, because maybeit wasn't a full body Yes, gate
53 is not just about the sparkof excitement. It's the whole

(05:57):
cycle. It's planting the seeds,supporting the soil and
developing the watering scheduleand the decision to stay when it
stops being exciting. Now I wantto give you an example of what
this could look like. So manypeople say that they want to
start a podcast, which seemssuper exciting. You're looking
at people's success. They have1000s of people that listen to
their podcasts on a daily basis.

(06:20):
And do you see that they'redoing well, and they're thought
leaders, et cetera? Well, that'sgreat if we're going for the
outcome completely understandthat is exciting. But what
happens when we start a podcastis that there's a lot of work
that goes into it, and weekafter week, you're putting in
the time to create content, toresearch, to edit, to find

(06:43):
guests, and at some point therecomes a time, and it's usually
around episode 20, where you'relike, actually, I'm not getting
1000s of listeners here. ShouldI just give up? And that's what
I mean by this last part is thatyou didn't really think that you
would struggle a little bit, orwhere you would be challenged,

(07:05):
or where you have to actuallycommit to something. And always
remember that there was thiscoaching environment. And a
woman who worked for Gary V atVaynerMedia said that Gary
produced 100 videos before heactually really started to see
any traction. And so one of thethings I always do is ask
myself, could I produce an up to100 episodes, or up to 100

(07:27):
pieces of content before I giveup? And if the answer is yes,
then that's where you say, Okay,I'm all in. I'm gonna do this.
I'm gonna launch a podcast, butyou have to be willing to show
up without the quick success,and we are so trained now as a
society to want things ondemand, for Uber Eats, to come

(07:48):
and deliver our lunch, for us toimmediately be able to access
something online or to purchasesomething online, right? It's
all easy, so easy, andunfortunately, success isn't
always available at a click of abutton, unless you have millions
of dollars that you're able justto put into hiring a whole team
to do that for you, which mostpeople don't the frequency

(08:14):
spectrum of gate 53 now let'slook at how gate 53 shows up in
its full range. Remember,there's no judging here. We all
have a choice to turn up or downour frequency. It is not
stagnant, okay? Low Frequencystress due to starting something
and not wanting to complete it.
I think that's pretty selfexplanatory. Number two,

(08:36):
thinking you need to doeverything yourself. So if,
especially if you are amanifesting generator or a
manifester, here, a lot of timesit's very easy for us to
initiate. I'm a manifestinggenerator. It's an easy for us
have ideas. It's easy for us toinitiate, and it's and the
follow through is not alwayseasy. So it's important to know

(08:59):
you, you don't actually have tofinish everything yourself. You
could be the fire starter, butthen you have a strategy lined
up where it goes to maybe a VAor you have somebody on your
team that can carry the ball foryou and get all the things done.
Number three, having too manyprojects that you can't finish,

(09:20):
and that makes you feel like afailure. So you have so much on
your plate, you keep addingmore, you just don't have the
time, the bandwidth, and thatmakes you feel like a failure.
So it's not that you are afailure, it's just that You've
overdone it, you've overfilledyour cup, you've over scheduled
yourself, and it just it's justnot possible. So I really want

(09:41):
you to think about, Do I need toadd another project to my list
right now, or is it that I needto take off four projects and do
the one thing that I really careabout,
number four, you hold tight tothe past and keep things as they
were because you've. Find itnearly impossible to embrace new

(10:02):
experiences or beginnings inlife, and if this speaks to you
and you know who you are, thenthere's just a lot of fear here.
There's a lot of fear of theunknown. And that is something
that I really encourage you towork on, is how can I allow
myself to tiptoe into new thingsinto new experiences, to be
uncomfortable, because that'swhere you're really denying

(10:25):
yourself the ability to grow.
Number five, you're overlyserious and create walls around
you through a lack ofvulnerability and openness to
new possibilities with newpeople. And yes, I'm also
talking to you. I'm talking tothe one who avoids dating, the
one who's avoiding the newrelationship because the last

(10:48):
relationship was so challenging.
There are so many people whohave gone through a marriage,
and yes, it was hard and it washeartbreaking, it was
disappointing. But that does notmean that every single
relationship moving forward isgoing to be like that, unless
you really haven't addressedyour patterns, and then that's

(11:11):
really something that we shouldwork on together. Number six,
avoiding something new to avoidfacing yourself. And what I mean
by this is that we are avoidingthe hard parts. We are avoiding
maybe where we lack discipline.
We are avoiding the fact thatmaybe we do need to develop some

(11:34):
new skills. We are avoiding thefact that we don't like
confrontation in one way oranother, and it's really
something that we shouldconsider, right? It's again,
we're lacking the ability togrow and mature, is what that
beginning represents. So it'sreally thinking about the full

(11:56):
cycle here. The beginning beginsthe full cycle of maturity.
That's what the beginning is allabout. And if we don't allow
ourselves to move through thematurity, which sometimes is not
pretty, then we're not reallyallowing ourselves to be in our
fullest expression, our fullestcapacity of what we could be.
All right, let's talk about thehigh frequency. So you're number

(12:20):
one, great at planning andfollowing through to the end,
congratulations to you. You geta gold star. Number two, you're
seeing life as an opportunity togrow, and that's really what
it's all about. Life is anopportunity to grow. And number
three, knowing it's in your bestinterest to have people support
you in finishing the things youstart, especially if you're

(12:42):
better at the big vision thanthe details. Again, I'm talking
to you my manifestors and mymanifesting generators. And
number four, trusting that notevery inspiration needs to be
acted on, and strategy andauthority will tell you which
projects are correct for you. Solet's talk about the energetic
Tip of the Week. Be with theintention of the beginning this

(13:04):
week. I want you to slow downand ask yourself, What's the
root of this new beginning? Sothinking about what is it that
you're planning? What's theintention behind it? When we
start things from a place offear and scarcity. The result
often creates more struggle forus. We almost spiral into more

(13:26):
fear and scarcity, okay? Andwhen we start things from the
root of clarity and purpose andgrowth, you know, with the
mindset of, I'm going to growfrom this, it gives us a whole
different result. And so I wantyou to think about those two

(13:47):
intentions. Am I growing thisfrom fear and lack, or am I
growing it from abundance? Whatam I going into this new
beginning from? So am I goinginto a new relationship, for
example, from a place of I can'tfind anybody and I'm lonely, or
is it I'm going into arelationship because I know I've

(14:09):
done my inner work and I'm abadass, amazing person, and I'm
going to call In somebody who'sjust as amazing as me, two very
different ways to start arelationship. One is going to
lead you towards attracting moreof that lack, maybe being in
relationships where you feellike you need to prove yourself,

(14:32):
and the other one is likelygoing to be really fun, really
enjoyable and soul affirming,right? So you're gonna have two
different experiences based offwhere the intention is coming
from, where the energy is movingfrom. So if we slow down and if
we look at this, I want you toask yourself, what's at the root

(14:55):
of this beginning ask, Did Ibegin this from? Fear or lack.
Did you set up your datingprofile from a place of fear and
lack? Did you start yourbusiness from a place of fear or
lack? Did I begin this from aplace of clarity, purpose and
abundance? If the answer is yes,keep going. And can I commit to
growing this even when it getsuncomfortable, expecting it to

(15:19):
be easy. I'm also not comingfrom a place of, I'm in lack I'm
coming from a place of, I canonly get better from here. And
that's really what you want tothink about in your beginnings.
Where are you ultimately comingfrom? That's what 53 can really
do, and that's what this energyof gate 53 can really bring us.

(15:42):
It can bring us beautifulpossibilities. It can bring us
growth. It can help us just toyou know, step into our light,
into new opportunities, into thejuiciness of what life has to
hold for us, if we're willing tobe in the uncomfortable parts of

(16:02):
it. Now let's get visible gate53 content prompts. All right,
so this week we'll dive into thebeginnings, the intention, the
mindset and the navigations.
Here are some prompts for you touse. Number One POV so you could
put POV on your Instagram reel,for example. One day you stopped

(16:24):
asking for permission to beginagain, and everything changed.
So this is a twist on a beforeand after, whether it was a
business pivot, a relationshipreset, a brand new morning
routine, this is your moment toshare the liberation of trusting
your own timing, and I would saytrusting your intention as well.

(16:45):
Number two, my best mindset hackfor starting over without
spiraling into self doubt, is,and here's the thought behind
it, is that people do cravetools for self trust. So what
helped you say yes to a newbeginning. What helped you step
into your own new beginning thatsomeone else can learn from?

(17:08):
Number three, I'm here to remindyou colon, you don't need a five
year plan to follow a soulnudge. Now this could be an
opportunity to share time whenyou followed your strategy and
authority instead ofoverthinking things. And a lot
of times as high achievers, welove our plans, our five year
plans, but if we are followingstrategy and authority, which is

(17:31):
that stair step kind of approachto life, where I'm going to try
this and let's see what happensand see what else comes of this,
then we really kind of move intoa place where we find what's
really working for us, insteadof having it to look like a
certain way, right? And that'swhat this is really about here,
and number four, and just likethat, a tiny whisper turned into

(17:54):
a wildly aligned new chapter. Sothis is where you're going to
tell the story of a small desirethat grew into something
unexpectedly beautiful, bonuspoints, if it made zero logical
sense at the time and stillworked. Number five, what no one
tells you about new beginningslist, the mess, the magic, the

(18:16):
misconceptions you livedthrough. Gate 53 reminds us that
most initiations don't feelglamorous. They feel gritty,
uncertain and deeply real. Thenthis was the podcast episode I
released yesterday on thetraveling hypnosis that speaks
to the pivots, that speaks tothe beginnings and starting over
again and again. Don't fight theenergy. Stay in flow. Gate 53

(18:41):
isn't just about starting, it'sabout starting what matters.
Your energy is precious, so useit wisely again. I'm Nicole
