Manvaya Dvara › The 64 dvaras › Dvara 10
Right conduct: know where you stand and move among people with tact and courtesy.
Self centre · Anahata chakra · hexagram 10 of the I Ching
Love of self expressed as behaviour. It walks its own way with dignity, even through risky ground.
Self-consciousness or self-absorption; behaving to prove who you are.
Every dvara has both. Which one shows depends on awareness, circumstances and the people around you, not on the dvara itself.
In the Dvara Method, if a planet sat in this 5.625° slice of the zodiac at your birth, or about 88 days before it, dvara 10 is part of your chart. It belongs to the Self centre, which governs identity, direction and love, and sits in the Anahata chakra.
On its own it is an open dvara: a quality you have access to, but one that reaches for a partner. It completes a channel only when its partner dvaras are also present: 20, 34, 57. That partner can come from your own chart, from another person's chart, or from a passing transit. When it does, the Self centre becomes defined, and the channel's energy becomes a consistent part of you or of the relationship.
With dvara 20 · Contemplation in the Throat centre
Being yourself out loud in the present moment. Behaviour and voice aligned with identity, here and now.
With dvara 34 · Great Power in the Life Force centre
Power applied in service of personal principles. Acting from conviction with strong, independent energy.
With dvara 57 · The Gentle Wind in the Instinct centre
Intuition protecting how you live. A finely tuned sense of which behaviour keeps you safe and true.
The Dvara Method teaches that a dvara you were not born with can still be developed through contemplation. The quality to cultivate here is: Right conduct: know where you stand and move among people with tact and courtesy. The Sun spends about six days in this dvara each year (around 20 December to 25 December), and the Moon passes through it roughly every 27 days, which makes natural times to practise.

Dvara 10 occupies the same slice of the zodiac as hexagram 10 of the I Ching. If you know the 64 gates from Human Design, it corresponds to gate 10. The Dvara Method is independent and reads it in its own words.
