Hi, everyone, it's Amanda Rieger Green. Welcome to Soul Sessions
and this special episode about the lions Gate Portal. I
briefly mentioned the lions Gate Portal in the August Energy Forecast.
The lions Gate Portal is this totally potent cosmic event
(00:28):
that takes place each year between July twenty sixth and
August twelfth, and it goes way back to ancient Egyptian
times because what happens astrologically during this timeframe is the Earth,
the Sun, the Dog Star series, and the Orion constellation
(00:51):
create like a portal, an alignment, and it's always been
a very significant time for empowerment, abundance, spiritual evolution, insights downloads.
It's just been a very transformative, al comizing time. And
(01:13):
as you all know, we are in an eight year
in numerology, so this year it's like it's extra potent,
but it is. The astro numero dynamic is really powerful,
and this is such a revolutionary year for consciousness and
(01:34):
humanity and people are waking up in all of these
significant ways. And I'm seeing more than ever more people
wanting to become more enlightened, more enlivened, more in touch
with themselves like this called to action on a soul level,
(01:56):
On a human level, I'm seeing it in people all
the time, and it's not that it hasn't been there,
but there's like a different, more profound level of commitment.
And the lions Gate Portal every year is this beautiful
time of manifestation and the eight energy in and of
itself signified manifestation. What's interesting about the eight and important
(02:22):
to remember is whatever is going on internally is directly
reflected externally, meaning anything you are experiencing externally can be
directly tracked with and correlated with whatever is going on
for you internally. And let me zoom out for a
(02:42):
minute and say, depending on your circumstances or where you are,
I'm not saying that somebody who is in a war
zone or extreme poverty that they are in any way
creating that or responsible for that. It's remembering that we
all have this divine light within us, and most of
(03:05):
us are pretty darn privileged. No matter what our socioeconomic
standing is or where we are on our point of
development in life and in our circumstances, we always have
our inner light and our inner source to come back to.
Where can I take responsibility, how can I shift my perspective?
And this is a very empowering gateway or portal to
(03:31):
access your higher consciousness and deeper than that, I think
it's really about connecting with your higher self, the multi
dimensional aspects of you. And for me personally, what's been
coming through during this Lion's gate Portal is really all
this past life stuff has been coming up for me,
(03:52):
where I'm getting these flashes and these insights, and I'm
seeing where my experiences are giving me opportunities to really
heal that, like on a quantum level where it's like, Okay,
I've played that out before, Oh my gosh, Okay, that's
not what's happening now, and how can I take responsibility
(04:12):
for this or WHOA. I'm really grateful for what I
have right now because I didn't have that in another lifetime,
whether it's autonomy or safety, certain material possessions that I
might not have had in another lifetime. And for me,
a lot of things around love come up, meaning being
(04:33):
loved and giving love and it not being taken away
or denied. So abandon abandonment issues aren't normally my thing,
but I've seen some old lifetime stuff flash up where
it's like being deprived of certain things. So just see
what is showing up for you that is playing out
(04:55):
in your personality that may not be reflective of what
you have today or where you are today. This is
the analogy I give of this because it works for
me and it makes sense. Is I can behave like
a version of me five years ago because it's like
my conscious attitude, beliefs, or actions haven't caught up to
(05:18):
the work that I've done, or the growth that I've had,
or the circumstances that I'm currently in. And what that
takes is me getting really clear and present and saying, gosh,
you're really stressed out about money right now, but actually
you have some money in the bank. Why are you
behaving like you don't have this money or you're in
(05:41):
this massive deficit And it's fear of the future. It's
worrying and tripping into the future. So just see what's
coming up for you that doesn't feel relevant to your now.
That's very important And with the lions Gate portal, there
is something black about this. It's otherworldly, it's dynamic, it's
(06:05):
very mystical. So it's a great time and definitely on
the eighth, okay, and we'll talk about some practices and
things you can do on the eighth that I think
you'll have fun with that are kind of magical practices
and very easy. But definitely during this gateway through the
twelfth of August, spend some meditation time. Turn some meditation
(06:29):
music on, light a candle or some incense, burn some sage,
and sit with yourself. Breathe, you know, get quiet and
get cosmic. Let your mind drift, open your mind, open
your heart. I know I sound mystical and esoteric right now.
(06:49):
It's because it is a very mystical time and if
you miss it, you'll miss it. So make some time,
create some time for yourself. The sun is in Leo
right now, and Leo is about our personal identity, and
it's about the healthy development of the ego. And when
(07:10):
it aligns with Sirius, there is this association with fertility
and abundance and these massively transforming energies, so there's a
lot of vitality and light. The solar plexus chakra is
highly activated. So if you want to work with a
crystal or two during this energy, I would suggest citrine, pyrite,
(07:35):
or gold. Those would be my three go tos and
maybe Tiger's Eye. I love those. Working with those energies.
If so, if you want to meditate with them, put
them under your pillow, put them in the car with you,
put them in your bra or your pocket, like whatever
you want to do. But work with your crystals and
think about fertility meaning creativity, birthing something new that you're
(08:00):
your energy field is fertile. It's open, it is ready
to create and to co create your reality to manifest.
And in order to do that, it's not just about
the imagination. The imagination is imperative right now, and that's
been my go to during this Lion's Gate is getting
(08:21):
still and really envisioning something. And if you're challenged by that,
get on Pinterest and you know, if it's like if
you're thinking about buying a new home and right now
you're struggling financially or you don't know how it's going
to come together, put all the details aside and just
get on Pinterest and say, Okay, if I could have
a home, I totally want a backyard that looks like this,
(08:44):
or a kitchen, living room area, or a bathroom, whatever
your wants and desires are with that go look at
some things and dream see yourself there like wow, I
love this aesthetics. So use your visualization and your imagination
and get out of the freaking details and the how
(09:06):
toos because that is a block. By the way to
manifestation is the details and the how towos. And this
energy right now is more about downloads insights, creative inspiration.
But it is a very fertile time. So when the
Sun and Serious align and they connect with the constellation Orion,
(09:27):
it is very magnetic because Orion is connected with mysticism
and the bridge between the worlds. A lot of indigenous
cultures looked at Orion's belt as the bridge between heaven
and Earth, so it's like this galactic bridge between the
human and the divine. So there's this gateway or this
(09:50):
portal that is aligned and Serious is really an awakening energy.
It's called the Dog Star Star and dog spelled backwards
as God. So it's got this abundant divine energy that
enlivens and enlightens. So this is a great time to
(10:14):
connect with your higher self, your soul's meaning, your soul's purpose,
and you don't have to get specific on that, just
say what is coming up for me right now? What
is intended for me? I am open, I'm fertile. Ideas, insights, desires,
passions are coming to life. Show me I'm open and
(10:34):
get dreamy. Like I said, daydream about some things and
don't overwhelm yourself on ten different things that you might
want or desire or want to manifest. Hone it down
into one thing and listen. If you're familiar with your
natal astrology, figure out where Leo is right now for
you in your natal chart. Get your natal chart online
(10:58):
and see what how house the sun is transiting during
the lions gate period in your natal chart and that'll
help you drill down you're manifesting a little bit. I
mean I totally do that stuff and use that energy.
And for me, my north node of the moon is
in Leo. The attributes of Leo is something that I'm
(11:23):
working to cultivate and develop in this lifetime. So Leo energy.
Whenever the sun is in Leo during the lions gate,
even when it's uncomfortable for me, I usually work on
pushing my edges. So wherever it falls for you in
your natal chart, drill down, do a little research online.
What does it mean to have the sun in Leo
(11:45):
in this house or transiting this house. And see what
that triggers for you. And when I say triggers, I
don't mean like makes you react, makes you say, oh
my gosh, Okay this makes sense or ooh, I can
draw these connections and put these dots together. Okay, let's
(12:05):
talk about the numerology a little bit. So we have
this powerful eight eight eight code. So of course the
energy of the eight is amplified, and the eight is
about abundance. It is about risk and reward, faith over fear.
It's about creating flow and balance and harmony. It's about
(12:27):
reaching for infinite potential, expanding ourselves and our consciousness and
really uplifting. It's about this dedication to uplifting ourselves, our sovereignty,
harnessing our empowerment. And of course with the energy of
the eight, we often feel the polarity of that disempowerment
(12:51):
or fear or disillusionment lack of faith. So if you're
feeling those things that they're coming up for you, this
is a really good time to say, Okay, face in
my fears and I'm going to start dreaming big. I'm
going to start believing big, or today, may I experience
a more expanded, expansive, joyful reality when you have the
(13:16):
triple eight code. And this is pretty cool because it's
three eighths. If you add eight plus eight plus eight,
it equals twenty four. The energy of twenty four two
plus four equals six. So we have a six energy
combined with the eight energy. And if you think about that,
(13:37):
that was the numerology of July. What came up for
you in July? What felt good? So reflect back to
July a little bit and if there's anything that you
can pinpoint that worked or felt good, or was fun
or joyful, or mostly created a sense of comfort and
feeling at home in your own skin, because that's the
(13:59):
energy of the six comfort, safety, security. But the energy
of the six is also about wisdom. And with this
triple eight code, it's not just about manifesting. It's about
manifesting higher And what I suggested in one of the
last podcasts, actually I think this was when I was
doing recording the Neurology Guidebook. When you are setting some
(14:23):
intentions right now for this Lion's Gate. Anytime you're setting intentions,
you can do this, by the way, and I encourage
you to do it, and this is what I've done
for years. If I am setting a specific intention to
manifest something or for something to materialize in my life,
I set the practical intention, and then I set the
(14:44):
higher intention. I say to myself, what is the why?
What is the motivation behind this intention? So let's use
an example of this. Let's say you are ready for
a new job, and your intention during this lion's gate
is is I am ready to network. I'm ready to
apply for new jobs, and it is my intention that
(15:06):
a new job that has XYZ attributes. You know, this
amount of money, this title, these job requirements or descriptions
like this is what I want. This is what I
want to manifest over the course of the next thirty days,
the next couple of months, whatever feels believable to you.
Setting an intention around that, you taking action. But what
(15:29):
is your why behind that? You know, why do you
want a new job? Because I want to enjoy what
I do. I want to be recognized. I want to
be compensated for the talent and the experience and the
value that I bring. I want a harmonious team of
people to work with. I want community, I want collaboration,
(15:52):
I want mentorship or a new boss. I'm just giving
you food for thought around this. If this is just
for anybody out there, drill down to the wise, the
bigger wise. I want community, I want connection. I want
I want to feel and be abundantly compensated and enjoy
what I do and love going to work. So what
(16:15):
are you also manifesting? Enjoyment, abundance, recognition, significance, security, community,
So you see even bigger. You set your intentions clearly
on what you want, and then you get down to
the deeper wise of what you want in your soul.
(16:37):
That's what I encourage you to do, and then spend
a little bit of time reflecting on that, imagining that, Okay,
if I was in this new job, man, this is
how I would feel, This is what my schedule would
look like. Oh my gosh, I can see myself feeling
less stressed and more free, more empowered. Imagine it. Sit
(17:02):
in the imagination of what it would look like and
feel like, and smile. Just get in tune with it.
And you don't have to spend an hour on this.
You can spend eight minutes. Have about eight minutes on this.
And this gets down to my practice. I want to
suggest because this is so easy. Okay, I want you
(17:23):
to write an eight down on a piece of paper,
and I want you to put it in your wallet.
I learned this from a numerologist years ago, Glennis mccantz.
She was on coast to coast. This was probably ten
years ago. She said, write an eight down and put
it in your wallet, like cause it's the you know,
the number of money in abundance and manifestation. So I
(17:45):
keep an eight in my wallet. So I encourage everybody
to write an eight down and stick it in your wallet.
But what I also want you to do, because this
is what I do, and I may sound wacky, but
I do this. I have an eight on my computer
and I want you to get a post it note,
or I encourage you to do this, right, get a
post it note, write an eight down on the post
(18:07):
it note, and then on the other side of the
post it note, write an intention or two. And the
reason I'm saying on your computer is maybe that's around work,
Like what do you want to experience in work? What
kind of abundance, what kind of empowerment, what kind of growth?
What kind of expansion do you want? Professionally? Will write
your intentions down and the deeper intentions of the motives
and the why, and then it's in my iPhone. It's
(18:29):
in my case to my iPhone, I have an eight,
and I have intentions written down on the on the
back of the eight and whatever like for me for
my phone, it's like, you know, I'm on social media
or I'm answering emails or I'm talking on the phone.
I want the conversations to be enriched and empowering, connective, expansive.
(18:49):
Write that stuff down. So get creative. Write your eight down,
stick it in your wallet, put it on your computer,
put it in your iPhone case. Think of other places
you might want to put an eight and charge it up.
But just do that and have fun because it's a
great way to connect and wherever you are. During the
(19:11):
lions Gate Portal, all sorts of holistic places are celebrating
the Lion's Gate. I know that yoga's do some yoga
studios I know of are having like a sound bowl
healing or a gateway or an activation. There's all sorts
of stuff online, like online meditations. I know with my
conscious collective, the community that we have, we're doing all
(19:34):
sorts of stuff together. For the Lion's Gate, and we're
harnessing the energy of the Eight together as a community.
So maybe you invite some friends over and y'all make
vision boards, or you set intentions, or you play games
and you have fun, or you do you know, a
women's circle or a men's circle or like or everybody
(19:55):
goes out to eat, do something celebratory or that creates
a kind of community experience. I'm also thinking about a
good friend of mine who's on a retreat and they're
out in nature, and I'm like, gosh, that's so cool.
They're going to be together during this time and they
get to, you know, enjoy each other and that time away,
(20:17):
that retreat, that disconnect from the hustle and bustle of
the day and being on retreat. So do something intentional,
but definitely remember to write your aides down, stick it
on you know, your computers, stick getting your phone in
your wallet, and charge it up with abundance and not
just abundance of your bank account or your wallet, abundance
(20:37):
of life, abundance of spirit, because that's what this energy
is about. It's about living higher, living lighter, brighter, bringing
more light into our body. And there are so many
solar flares happening right now that are just charging up
and activating the energy field. So be a part of it.
(20:57):
Get creative and see how you're spirit can really find
enlivenment and share that with other people. Connect with other
people during this time, and as always, see how you
can spread your light and be generous with other people.
Because the sun is in Leo, and the more we
shine our lights and our love and we do it
(21:19):
out in the world or at home with our families,
at work, with our coworkers, and we give of our
hearts freely and generously, it will come back to us tenfold.
But it's not really about that. It's just making this place,
creating this more enlightened society that we all get to experience.
