Every year around the 8th of August, An auspicious portal known as the Lion's Gate opens and creates an ideal environment for spiritual awakening and spiritual transformation. This is a meditation to connect to the energy of the Lion's Gate portal. Give yourself a few moments to find a comfortable position. Allow your eyes to close or soften. Notice any parts of your body that you can soften or surrender. Eventually surrender your awareness to the gentle rhythm of your breath. Try to smoothen out each inhale. And extend out each exhale. Imagine breathing in a warm golden light. Just sense a calming energy flowing in with each breath. And let your physical body soften through each exhale. With time, Allow the energy surrounding your body to soften too. Silently give yourself permission to receive. Allowing the energy of the lion's gate to flow gently into your body. With every breath in. Feel the golden light flowing into the center of your chest. Gathering around your heart. Sense its warmth spreading through the chambers of your heart. Softening anything that has felt guarded. Hidden, Or held back. With every inhale. Allow the golden light to grow brighter. Creating a warm, Radiant space within your chest. Let this light begin to travel upward. Flowing across your shoulders. Through your net. And into your throat. Feel it opening the pathway between your heart and your voice. Giving you permission to express what is true for you. Allow this light to rise into your face. Softening your jaw. Relaxing the space around your eyes. And illuminating the center of your mind. Now feel this golden energy flowing down through your spine. Moving slowly through each vertebrae. Warming and awakening the entire length of your back. Imagine your spine becoming a strong column of golden light supporting you as you sit more fully within yourself. Let this warmth flow up into your upper back. Across your shoulder blades. And down through your arms, Into the palms of your hands. With every breath, Sense the golden light expanding beyond your physical body. Forming a soft luminous glow around you. Breath by breath. Feel the golden light expand beyond your individual energy field, Out into the collective. Imagine it reaching outward like the first rays of sunrise. Radiating into the space around you. Let it flow toward your loved ones. Your community. And every being who may need warmth. Courage or hope. With every inhale, Receive the light. And with every exhale allow it to travel further. Illuminating places that have felt heavy, Divided or uncertain. Breath by breath, Allow any images or impressions to slowly leave your awareness. There's nothing more you need to visualize. Nothing more you need to do. Simply breathe here for a few more moments. Bring your awareness back to your physical body. Feel the surface beneath you. And notice the gentle rhythm of your breath. Carry this golden light with you as you move forward. Trusting your heart. Expressing your truth. And allowing your presence to become part of the light within the world. When you feel ready, Gently open your eyes. Thank you for sharing this practice with me.
