Lions Gate 8/8/2019 – Maximize Your Potential

 

 

As we approach the date of 8/8, a day that  is known as The Lions Gate, it is an excellent time to take a look a look at what events have occurred over the last year that have been significant and at what wounds have been triggered that we are still carrying.  The Lions Gate is a time of alignment of the Earth, the star Sirius, and the galactic center. As Sirius rises in the sky, Orion’s Belt directly aligns with the Pyramid of Giza.  The alignment is called Lions Gate because it occurs when the Sun is in the astrological sign of Leo.

Sirius is known as our “Spiritual Sun”.  We are constantly bathed in the cosmic rays generated by the Sirius system which includes Sirius A the large star and its binary twin the dwarf star known as Sirius B.  The ancient Egyptians New Year was at the time of Sirius’s helical rise, or first appearance on the Eastern horizon just before sunrise. This was also the time of year when the Nile River would flood bringing life and fertility to the fields.  It is interesting to note that the ancient Egyptians somehow knew of the existence of the dwarf star despite the fact that it is not visible to the naked eye.

Around July 6, Sirius is conjunct our Sun starting a phase of its closest proximity to our solar system and there is upswing in the cosmic rays which infuse us photon light energy, light codes and divine wisdom.  These cosmic rays, all the information and activations are automatically received by all life and all of the planet herself.  It is up to each individual to access and integrate the information.  The challenge is in the translating the information from light language to our own human language to be fully understood and integrated.  This often happens in dream work, flashes of insight or understanding and the AH HA moments.  If we pay attention to where we are triggered or what comes up for us in these months we can amplify our learning.  We can also further integrate these energies through meditation, day dreams, being in nature and silent contemplation.

This year we are coming off a full solar eclipse on July 2 and partial lunar eclipse on July 16 as well as there being 5 planets in retrograde which amplifies the energy of releasing the past.  Take advantage of this time by be aware of thoughts of the past that might be coming up, patterns that are recurring themes in your life, old wounds that may play on continuous loop in your mind, set the intention to release the negative aspects and let these wounds be healed by divine self-love and acceptance.

With Lions Gate occurring in the time of Leo, which is the sign most associated with individual expression of the divine self and the heart center, this is a potent time for personal growth.  Development happens through release of old patterns, integration of divine wisdom from the higher self and multidimensional realms brought in to our consciousness.  The key is to be aware, be self-loving and be willing to make different choices than the ones made in the past while finding ways to love our more self-sabotaging mind loops and programs to wholeness.  The Lions Gate energy gives us an opportunity to grow and an accelerated pace, particularly on 8/8, 8/17 and 8/26 – all of which have the infinite energy of 8 doubled.

Be aware and mindful during the next month use the cosmic energy and wisdom to its, and YOUR, highest potential!

Big LOVE!!

Not All Vampires Sparkle…

I know Halloween isn’t until next month but I felt the need to talk about Vampires. I’m not talking about the broody, sparkly vampires of Twilight, but about those vampires that appear in our lives everyday. Those Energy Vampires show up in our lives not to drain us of our blood but of our energy.

Energy Vampires come in all shapes and sizes, but they have one thing in common. They use their stories to take energy from us. Have you been around someone who has drama in their lives constantly? Even a broken fingernail is a reason to plunge them into negativity. There are also those Energy Vampires who are very passive aggressive. They still have an undercurrent of negativity in their lives. Often for them it is the “poor pitiful me”.

You might ask if they are aware that they are Energy Vampires. I can honestly say from my experience that the majority are unaware. Most people are really unaware of their energy or where it is flowing and what it is doing. I think they just recognize that they feel better after talking or engaging with people. Of course, those who they have engaged with feel drained.

We will always come in contact with Energy Vampires. Although a necklace of garlic might keep people away, a true Energy Vampire will still find a way into your energy. How do you handle an Energy Vampire without seeming uncaring. One thing is please do not feed into the Energy Vampires story. If they say their world is coming to an end then simply reply that you are sorry. Don’t add more fuel to the story by asking them to explain more. Change the subject to something more positive. If they won’t let up then you will want to set a boundary. Let them lovingly know that you want to help them focus more on the positive so that you both feel better. Sometimes they may try to pull you into situations that are not yours to deal with. In that case you may want to tell them that you don’t feel comfortable with that and then change the subject or remove yourself. It can all be done lovingly.

Energy Vampires can literally have you feeling anger, frustration, depression, and even physically drained. And it’s not even your issues! We are all at risk of Energy Vampires and we are at risk of being Energy Vampires ourselves. So let’s check how we are interacting with others. Are we draining the energy of those around us or are we encouraging and inspiring those around us? Please note that it is OK to vent and share your positive and your negative stories with those who love you but be aware of how much energy you give to those stories and try to quickly change your perspective about the story. Don’t continually tell the story and not do anything to try and change it to a more positive tale.

Take care of yourself and take care that you don’t become an Energy Vampire yourself!

The Oldest and Strongest Emotion of Mankind…

The Oldest and Strongest Emotion of Mankind…

03 Sep 2012 11:40 PM | Anonymous

H.P. Lovecraft said, “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear”. I truly believe that it is the one emotion that keeps us from achieving our true potential as spiritual and physical beings. It is the emotion that talks us out of experiencing and learning the things in this existence that we came here to do.

Let’s look at what we can do to break those chains of fear that hold us back. I think first we need to become aware of what are fears are? Name them! Once they are named then they can be dealt with appropriately. It really does take some of the power away from the fear. Then let’s look back at where those fears developed and why. Was it from a childhood trauma? Maybe, it was even an experience we had as an adult. When do those fears show up in your life? Are there certain people or situations that trigger it? Search the origin out. After you have named the fear, and found it’s origin then begin to take steps to change. Think of positive steps to break those fears. They don’t have to be huge steps, just small steps will do to start with.

It takes great courage and strength to move pass those fears of a lifetime but we all can do it if we choose to. Stop yourself when you find yourself using negative stories about yourself or others. Make sure you have positive things to focus on like quotes, books, movies, music, etc. Become mindful in your everyday life. Staying in the present makes us stronger! When we think about the past we may have feeling of regret. If we think about the future we may find ourselves becoming anxious. If we are mindful of the present moment then we can feel gratitude, joy, and love.

There is so much fear in the world right now. Why not be a part of the transformation? We can all do our part of transforming the energy on the planet one person at a time.
