Welcome to Work Minded,
And thank you for joining us for this 8-8 Lionsgate Awareness and Activation Meditation.
We're so excited to practice with you as we explore this powerful prompt inspired by the natural world around us.
The annual Lionsgate Portal offers a unique opportunity to bring more conscious awareness and intentional activation to our work experiences.
In a culture that continues to glamorize,
Hustle,
And grind,
Our delicate connection to the higher energies of intention and consciousness can so easily be overwhelmed.
This practice can help to make these higher energies of the Lionsgate alignment more available as we navigate the business of our day-to-day.
You have plenty of options for this session.
You can choose whether you want to relax into a passive,
Receiving energy,
Or whether you want to create a more active experience of mindfulness by incorporating some intuitive movement.
You can also choose whether you want to connect more with sensations in the body or something more external to your physical experience.
Whatever feels most comfortable and available for you.
Wherever you are,
You're welcome to set your own compassionate pace and give yourself plenty of space to adjust and plenty of permission to draw back from the practice anytime.
So you're invited here to settle in,
Taking your own measures to feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
So you can tune into this Lionsgate experience as deeply and effectively as possible.
We'll start by tuning in to the subtle body to explore an awareness of how the higher vibes and energies of this Lionsgate might arrive in your lived experience.
You'll have plenty of choices to explore what feels best for you.
But if any of these ideas is hard to tune into,
That's totally OK.
The idea here is to explore and to gather information to help make us more conscious and aware of how these energies influence our experience.
No pressure,
No outcomes.
The subtle body represents the energetic layer of our existence.
Parts of this energy body can correspond to an area of our lived experience or daily everyday life.
To bring some awareness of how these energies manifest for your current experiences,
We'll gently explore each energy center of the subtle body and the core themes around it.
Cultivating this awareness can help us trace whether our energies are more geared towards survival or alignment,
And where along this spectrum some of our higher vibration energies might encounter resistance or expansion.
We'll move from our foundational vibrations up toward the highest soul energies in tune with the lion's gates.
You'll be able to choose to connect to these sensations in a way that feels most comfortable for you,
Physically,
Emotionally,
Or with another focal point.
We'll start by tuning in to the root chakra.
This area traditionally reflects the core foundation of our lived experience.
Themes like security,
Stability,
And resources.
You might perceive some energies in this area physically or internally right around the base of the spine and the pelvic floor.
You might connect more to the color red,
Which refracts the grounding baseline vibrations of this chakra's energy.
An image might come to your mind about stability or security,
Or maybe emotion or even movement comes to the surface when you think about stability and security.
You might also sense nothing at all.
This area could be hard to tune into,
And that's okay.
Anything you might or might not sense is useful information here,
And that will help us bring more awareness and consciousness to our connection.
If it feels comfortable to move this exploration deeper,
You can tune in to the quality of the energy associated with this chakra.
Maybe it feels stagnant and resistant,
Or open and expansive,
Or somewhere in between.
What awareness does the root chakra bring for you,
Especially when you think of stability,
Security,
And resources around your work,
Career,
And purpose?
Now we'll work our way up the energetic body toward the sacral chakra.
This area traditionally reflects our lived creativity and our experience of life via our senses.
You might perceive some physical or internal energies in this area right around the lower belly and the navel.
You might connect with the color orange,
Which refracts the higher vibrating energy of engaging with our daily experience.
An image could come to mind around creativity and sensing,
Or maybe an emotion or some kind of movement comes to the surface when you think about creativity and sensing.
You might also perceive not much at all.
This area might not be open to sharing at the moment,
And that's okay.
We're exploring to be more aware of our conscious connection with these areas,
And knowing this area doesn't feel available right now is also useful information.
If moving this exploration deeper does feel accessible,
You can tune in to the quality of the energy associated with this chakra.
Does it feel stagnant and resistant or open and expansive or somewhere in between?
What consciousness does the sacral chakra raise for you,
Especially when you think of creativity and sensing around your work,
Career,
Or purpose?
Next,
We'll continue up the energy rainbow of the subtle body,
Moving on to the solar plexus.
This area traditionally reflects personal confidence and the individual agency that we bring to our lived experience.
You might sense the physical or internal energies of this area right around the upper belly and the joining of the ribcage.
You might connect more to a golden yellow color,
Refracting the bright and vibrating energy of exerting our own willpower within our day-to-day experience.
An image could come to mind around confidence and agency,
Or maybe emotion or even movement begins to flow when you think of confidence and agency.
It's also completely fine to perceive nothing at all.
It's still useful information to know this area might not feel available just now.
If moving this exploration deeper feels comfortable,
You can tune in to the quality of the energy here.
Tuning in to whether it feels stagnant and resistant,
Or open and expansive,
Or maybe somewhere in between.
And what consciousness does the solar plexus chakra raise for you,
Especially when you think of confidence and agency around your work,
Your career,
Or your purpose?
Next,
We'll continue on to the heart center chakra,
Which traditionally reflects genuine connection with others,
Along with a healthy reciprocity in our relationships.
You might perceive some energies in this area physically or internally,
Directly in the center of your chest.
You might connect more to a jewel-toned green color,
Refracting the higher vibrating energy of genuine connection around the business of our lives.
An image could come to mind around connection or reciprocity,
Or maybe emotion or movement comes to the surface when you think of this connection and reciprocity.
It's also completely fine to become aware that this area reveals nothing just now.
It's still useful information that this area could be protecting something from your conscious inquiry right at the moment.
To move this exploration a little deeper if you like,
You can tune in to the quality of the energy associated with the heart chakra.
Maybe it feels stagnant and resistant,
Or maybe it feels open and expansive,
Or maybe you sense it somewhere in between.
What awareness and consciousness does this chakra raise for you,
Especially when you think of connection and reciprocity around your work,
Your career,
And your purpose?
The energy vibrations get even higher as we move up to the throat chakra,
Usually associated with communication or expressing what feels authentic for us as individuals.
You might perceive some of the physical or internal energies of this area at the base of your neck and throat.
You might connect more to a vibrant blue color,
As the energies continue to vibrate higher around bringing self-expression into your lived experience.
An image could come to mind around communication or authenticity,
Or maybe emotion or movement comes to the surface when you think of communication and authenticity.
Or if this area isn't revealing anything just now,
Remembering that consciousness of this is still useful information for our awareness.
And to move this exploration deeper,
If it seems approachable,
You can tune in to the quality of the energy associated with this chakra.
Whether it feels stagnant and resistant,
Or open and expansive,
Or somewhere in between.
And what awareness or consciousness does the throat chakra raise for you?
Especially when you think of communication and authenticity related to work,
Career,
And purpose.
Our energies tend to vibrate even higher as we connect to the third eye chakra,
Usually associated with our inner wisdom and deep knowing or intuition.
Energies in this area could be physically or internally sensed right around the center of the forehead,
In between the brow bones.
You might connect more to a purple-blue indigo color,
Representing the increasing vibration of the energies that bring this deep knowing into our day-to-day.
An image,
Emotion,
Or movement could surface around wisdom and intuition.
And quiet in this area is also just fine,
Still bringing useful details to our conscious awareness.
To move this exploration deeper if it feels approachable to you.
You can tune in to the quality of the energy associated with this chakra.
Deciding whether it feels stagnant or resistant or open or expansive or anywhere in between.
And what awareness or consciousness does this third eye chakra raise for you,
Especially when you think of wisdom and intuition around your work,
Your career,
And your purpose?
Now our awareness practice reaches the highest energies reflected in the subtle body at the crown chakra,
Traditionally associated with our highest soul level alignments.
You might perceive some energies in this area physically or internally right at the highest point at the top of the head.
You might connect more to a crystalline violet color,
Reflecting the highest vibrations and energies of feeling a deep soul alignment in your everyday.
An image or an emotion or some movement could come to mind around alignment or soul connections.
And quiet in this area is still absolutely okay.
To move this exploration deeper,
If you'd like to,
You can tune into the quality of the energy associated with this chakra.
Checking in with any stagnation and resistance,
Or openness and expansiveness,
Or anything in between.
What awareness and consciousness does the crown chakra raise for you,
Especially when you think of soul-level alignment around your work,
Career,
And purpose?
And as we prepare to transition into the activation portion of this practice,
You're welcome to take a moment to rest here in the full energetic picture of how these vibrations present themselves in your experience,
All along the spectrum from the most foundational to the most sublime.
The annual Lionsgate portal is considered a time of powerful cosmic alignment between our sun in the courageous sign of Leo and the fortunate star Sirius,
The brightest star in our sky.
This alignment encourages us to dive more deeply into the higher energies and soul potential of our lived experience.
The portal also happens on the date of August 8th,
Or 8-8.
Already powerful on its own,
The numeral 8 takes on additional meaning when we turn it on its side to find the symbol of infinity.
And having this infinity doubled strengthens this cosmic moment even further.
This makes the Lionsgate a potent time to explore new perspectives and to consider possibilities without the limitations that we might typically place on ourselves.
What might you contribute,
Accomplish,
Or manifest related to your work with no limits to your expansiveness?
Infinity also invites us to ask the question of what if,
Not in the anticipatory way that our minds might be accustomed to,
But in an expansive way that honors the potential of infinite possibility.
And here we love the practice of if-formations.
This is a little bit like an affirmation,
But instead of stating a current experience statement,
Like I am infinite,
We pose it as a question.
What if I were infinite?
This intentional framing can help the nervous system to unbrace,
Especially if positive sensations feel unsafe to you for any reason.
We're not compelling an unavailable sensation to be true.
We're just gathering information about what other possibilities could be beyond what we're experiencing right now.
Without the pressure of an affirmation,
Your system might feel a little more comfortable going into this exploration,
Even if it's just cracking the door open the tiniest little bit.
So now we'll gently begin to transform the current energetic experiences you highlighted from your awareness into activation,
Or how this might look in the business of your life.
The invitation here is to explore some informations related to your work,
Career,
Or purpose.
What if you were working consciously every day?
What would working consciously mean for you or feel like to you?
How would you be spending your time and who would you be interacting with?
What would it mean for you to work consciously?
What if your work felt fully aligned?
What does alignment mean to you or feel like for you?
How could alignment manifest itself in your work experiences?
Or where do you sense it already?
And what if your work incorporated some of the highest energies in your subtle body?
How would these frequencies show up in your everyday?
And how could they influence your physical or emotional work experiences?
We'll take a few moments here for you to add in any of your own informations that might have come up asking to be explored,
Or to reflect on the activations you already identified,
Or simply to rest or to move based on whatever this activation is bringing up for you.
And then you might feel called to seal in this activation with one more cycle of tuning into your energies from your root to the crown,
Acknowledging again the opportunity for any higher frequencies and vibrations linked to the Cosmic Lionsgate Portal.
As we get ready now to bring this particular practice to a closing point,
You might want to settle in on something specific to activate with this powerful Lionsgate Cosmic Energy.
It might be an information,
An intention,
A mantra,
Or even a specific action you'd like to take around your work experiences.
You can carry both this awareness and activation with you into the time beyond this practice.
And maybe for now you linger for just another minute to feel the rebound from the overall effects of this practice on your system.
And then when you feel ready,
You can let your body and your attention return gently and naturally to the space and the place around you.
We're always so grateful that you've chosen to practice with us.
You can come back to this session at every Lionsgate portal to explore your insights over time,
Or revisit it anytime you want to take a more aware and active approach to your work and life experiences.
In the meantime,
Thank you so much for joining us,
And we're so excited for our next session together.
