Welcome,
Dear one.
This is Zawadi Nyong'o.
Thank you for joining me on this Lionsgate Portal journey today.
May this practice support you not only during the Lionsgate Portal,
But every time you are ready to remember your light and reclaim your flame.
We will begin by talking a little about the Lionsgate portal,
Why 2026 hits different,
Explore how to work with the energy,
Share a Lionsgate prayer,
And close with a powerful affirmation meditation,
After which I will invite you to sit in silent meditation for one minute,
And then take some time to do some soul writing.
This is your sacred time and space to listen deeply and manifest your greatest heart's desires.
As one of my favorite Kiswahili proverbs says,
What the soul desires,
It shall achieve.
Take a moment to get comfortable,
Allowing your body to be supported in whatever way feels most nurturing to you,
And spend a minute just connecting with and deepening your breath.
The more relaxed your body is,
The more receptive you will be to this practice.
What I am about to share is drawn from various accounts that I follow on Instagram.

And Healing Inner Self.
We have entered one of the most meaningful passages of the year.
Between now and August 12th,
Life may begin speaking to you in ways that are difficult to ignore or explain.
You may notice old dreams returning to your heart,
Meaningful coincidences becoming more frequent,
Or a growing sense that life is inviting you in a new direction.
On August 8th,
This journey reaches its peak.
For many,
It becomes a turning point where soul memories resurface,
Forgotten gifts return to awareness,
And the path ahead begins to feel unmistakably alive.
This is a time to release old identities and move toward the life that feels most deeply your own.
As Faith Hunter says,
The lion's gate does not knock before it kicks the door down.
As Sirius rises,
Leo is burning through the sky,
Stirring something in you that is done staying quiet.
This is the portal your ancestors marked long before it had a name,
And it is coming for you whether you are ready or not.
So what is the Lionsgate portal?
Running yearly from July 26th to August 12th and peaking on August 8th,
8-8,
This cosmic event occurs as the sun travels through Leo and Sirius aligns with Earth.
In spiritual traditions,
It serves as a deep call to connect with your soul and manifest what lives in your heart.
The energy of the number 8 embodies infinity,
Personal power,
And abundance.
Ultimately,
The 8-8 portal shifts our perspective.
Manifestation is less about chasing what you want and more about becoming energetically available to receive it.
Why 2026 hits different.
8.
8.
2026 breaks down to August,
8,
Date,
8,
And 2 plus 6,
8.
This isn't just an ordinary 8.
8.
It's a triple 8 portal.
In numerology,
The number eight represents pure abundance,
Infinity,
And seamless flow,
A rare cosmic alignment that doesn't happen every year.
What's amplifying this year's Lionsgate?
Jupiter in Leo expands your courage,
Creativity,
And confidence,
Calling you to express your authentic self.
Uranus in Gemini shifts how you think and communicate,
Bringing unexpected breakthroughs and ideas.
Solar eclipse in Leo on August 12th accelerates growth by helping you release outdated versions of yourself.
Call to action.
Stop playing small.
It's time to align your daily life with what your soul wants to build.
How to work with the energy.
Spend moments in the sun,
Welcoming and absorbing sacred light codes.
Clear stagnant energy and realign with your heart space via meditation or Reiki.
Take one intentional step daily toward your vision,
Because manifestation requires movement.
Make room for quiet reflection,
Rest,
And integration.
Express your truth creatively.
Create,
Dance,
Write,
Paint.
Voice your passions and share your light.
You'll know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when you begin wanting different things.
You'll know you're walking through the Guidesgate portal when some of the things you've been working toward no longer carry the same meaning they once did.
Rather than seeing this as uncertainty,
You begin seeing it as a sign that your inner world is changing and your desires are changing with it.
Meaningful coincidences become more frequent.
You'll know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when life begins responding in ways that are difficult to dismiss as chance.
Conversations,
Opportunities,
And unexpected moments arrive with a sense of timing that invites you to pay closer attention to what is unfolding.
Familiar things begin revealing a different meaning.
You'll know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when parts of your life you've seen a hundred times begin asking for your attention in a completely different way.
Without searching for answers,
You naturally begin recognizing what feels deeply aligned with the person you are becoming.
All dreams return to your heart.
You'll know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when ideas,
Visions,
Or parts of yourself you thought you'd left behind begin finding their way back into your awareness.
Sometimes we don't outgrow our dreams.
We simply need time to become the person capable of living them.
Taking the next step begins feeling more natural.
You'll know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when you stop waiting for every answer before moving forward.
Instead,
You begin trusting yourself enough to take the next step,
Even if the whole path hasn't revealed itself yet.
Your relationships begin evolving with you.
You'll know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when some relationships begin deepening with surprising ease,
While others naturally ask for more space.
Rather than forcing either outcome,
You begin trusting that your connections are evolving alongside you.
Success begins feeling different.
You'll know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when what feels meaningful starts becoming more important than how things appear from the outside.
You begin measuring your life less by achievement and more by the feeling that you're living in a way that genuinely reflects who you are.
You recognize you've already begun.
You know you're walking through the Lionsgate portal when you realize this journey didn't begin the day you heard these words.
It has already been unfolding through the choices you've been making,
The lessons you've been living,
And the person you've been slowly becoming.
A few reminders before the Lionsgate portal peaks on August 8th.
Ask for more than feels reasonable.
The universe has no ceiling.
The only one that exists is the one you agree to.
Your nervous system is the doorway.
A calm body can receive what an erasing mind keeps pushing away.
You're not manifesting from your vision board.
You're manifesting from your frequency.
Say it out loud.
What you speak,
You are calling in.
The fires of the last few months were not punishment.
They were practice for holding something bigger.
Stop making yourself smaller to fit spaces you have already outgrown.
You are being asked to expand,
Not to shrink.
Whatever you claim this week gets amplified.
Jupiter is in Leo and the eclipse is coming.
Lionsgate prayer for blessings and manifestation.
Place your hands on your heart space,
Bring your awareness to your breath,
And begin to breathe into your heart.
Close your eyes or lower your gaze if that feels comfortable for you.
Visualize a warm golden light at your heart space.
Expanding with each inhalation.
And spreading throughout your body with each exhalation.
When you sense this light radiating throughout all your cells,
Receive this prayer.
Give me unwavering trust,
So that when the universe vibrates with your word,
I will not doubt,
But only praise.
In this sacred hour of the Lion's Gate,
I affirm in faith,
I am a lamp set on a high stand to shine for all.
I'm an instrument of peace and blessing on this earth.
Finally,
Open your heart to receive these Lionsgate affirmations.
There is no need to try to remember or repeat these affirmations.
Trust that you are integrating whatever serves your highest good.
The more you repeat this practice,
However,
The more you will embody the affirmations manifesting whatever your soul desires.
After the affirmations,
I will ring a bell to signal the beginning of our one minute of silent meditation.
I will ring a second bell to signal the start of our one minute of soul writing.
As you write,
You invite.
The third and final bell will signal the end of our practice.
Everything I have prayed for,
Worked toward,
And held faith in is arriving.
I step through the Lionsgate bold,
Ready,
And completely open to receive.
I have shifted timelines.
What no longer aligned has dissolved.
And what is meant for my soul's highest path is now being magnetized to me.
This is the activation of my light codes,
My abundance,
My divine remembrance.
The path forward is already revealing itself through what I feel ready to choose differently.
I am aligning my daily life with what my soul wants to build.
I let go of old fears and doubts.
I release heavy weight and past pain.
A clear space for brand new energy.
I'd drop my old limits right now.
I shine bright with bold courage.
I am spending moments in the sun welcoming and absorbing sacred light codes.
I'm clearing stagnant energy and realigning with my heart space via meditation or Reiki.
I am taking one intentional step daily toward my vision,
Because manifestation requires movement.
I am expressing my truth creatively,
Voicing my passions and sharing my light.

I am not just passing through the gate.
I am the gate.
I am the lion.
I am the remembering.
And now,
The journey begins.
Ashe.
At home.
Amen.
And so it is.
Thank you,
Sweet soul.
Remember,
Zegna Fibetna.
The oil is within us.
Bless.
