The Lion's Gate Portal, explained
You may have heard of the Lion's Gate Portal, which takes place every year on August 8. But what exactly is Lion's Gate, what does it mean for us, and how can we use it to improve our lives?
If you're reading this blog, then you are probably a spiritual seeker like me. And you may have heard of the Lion's Gate Portal, which takes place every year. The energy of Lion's Gate is active August 4-12, but it peaks on August 8.
But what is Lion's Gate, and what does it mean for us? Today, that's the question the guides put into my mind just as I was transitioning from sleeping to waking. So I took the hint, asked the guides, and here is what they said.
Hello! I gather you want to talk about the Lion's Gate Portal?
Yes! The Lion's Gate Portal is an annual energy activation for the benefit of your planet and your solar system. All beings physical, non-physical, and extradimensional partake of this energy activation. It permeates everything you are and everything you do and will do.
What exactly is an energy activation?
It is a turning on of receptors in your cellular and energy bodies. For many, those receptors are, for lack of a better word, in an “off” position. But those receptors are activated by light. And so, Source in its wisdom created a system by which additional light could be added to your physical and energy matrix. That happens periodically throughout the year and the millennia, but it is an annual occurrence at the Lion's Gate Portal, which in your calendrical system is August 8, or 8-8.
What does the additional light do?
It turns on receptors. It turns on potential. It adds additional light to your cells and your energy body. Of course, your own energy—your intention, mindset, cultures, values, and all the other things that make you “you”—will determine whether you take full advantage of the additional light.
Assuming that you can anchor the additional light, the portal of Lion's Gate is a chance for you to welcome in the solar energies. It is a chance to welcome in light that can bring new possibilities, healing, and spiritual growth. The Lion's Gate Portal is a time of great growth for all beings and for the planet. But you decide how much of that solar energy you will welcome into your being.
What exactly are the solar energies?
The energy of the Sun is life-giving potential. It is expansion. It is taking pleasure in being alive and being conscious. Whether you are physical or non-physical, the energy of the Sun reaches you. And it teaches you to take pleasure in being aware, in noticing. It invites you to simply luxuriate in the feeling of being alive and aware.
Thank you. The Lion's Gate Portal peaks on August 8, which suggests an 8-8 vibration. What's different about that vibration?
Eight is the number of balance, of giving and giving back. The vibration of 8 is the vibration of infinity, of energy coming in and energy going out in a continuous cycle. And so, 8 is the expression of consciousness in perfect harmony.
These energies of harmony and balance are encoded in the frequencies of the Lion's Gate activation. With each activation, you absorb more of the energies of harmony and balance. Imagine what that could mean in your physical world right now. This is the turning point Lion's Gate Portal offers.
The opportunity is offered through this portal, but only you can decide how much of that energy you will absorb and anchor.
With each Lion’s Gate activation, you absorb more of the energies of harmony and balance. Imagine what that could mean in your physical world right now.
How can we use the Lion's Gate energy?
One aspect of the Sun’s energy and the Lion's Gate Portal in particular is manifestation. And so, we would like you to consider using the portal's energetic boost to bathe your world in peace, harmony, and balance.
Consider this meditation: Imagine streamers of gold light from the Sun to the Earth. As they touch the Earth, some streamers transform from gold to pink, washing the Earth with the soft, warm vibration of pure love. Other streamers transform from gold to blue, bathing the Earth in peace, tranquility, and the music of the angels. The last streamers transform from gold into green, sending the promise of renewal to all parts of your Earth home. Consider holding sunstone or citrine throughout this visualization.
Alternatively, imagine joining hands with the Sun in meditation and asking the Sun to help lift your spirits. You might be surprised at how much better you feel afterwards.
Thank you. What other ways can we use the Sun and Lion's Gate for manifestation?
Here are three crystals to consider working with now:
Sunstone for joy. Meditate with or hold sunstone to access the sheer joy of being and experiencing. You may feel laughter bubble up through your consciousness, for sunstone is an aspect of your Sun itself.
Golden healer quartz for ease. Meditate with or hold golden healer quartz to bring warmth, ease, and healing to the soul and body.
Yellow jasper for acceptance. Meditate with or hold yellow jasper, including bumblebee or leopard skin, to experience the acceptance of self or the healing of old soul wounds. Jasper, in its connection to Earth energies, can be a gentle, yet powerful, healer.
