This is a time to let go of the past and welcome new beginnings. The Lion's Gate Portal offers a powerful opportunity for personal growth and spiritual awakening, helping you align with the universe's energy and turn your dreams into reality. - Lion's Gate Portal article. Each month, Kerry K. creates a video sharing her intuitive guidance about what lightworkers and healers, and often, humanity in general, can expect to encounter in the spiritually or energetically. I was particularly struck by what she said in her video this month and I want to share some of my own thoughts about how to respond, and maybe inspire your own. But today, I also am celebrating The Lion's Gate and if you are reading this on or near the 8th of August, make a wish for whatever you want to let go of and whatever you dream of manifesting in your life.  This is a personal month, where you will feel personally challenged to let go. For some you will feel like you have no choice and rather than letting go, it's going to feel that something is being taken away. It's only temporary, once the release happens the relief happens and healing sets in, rippling into the rest of your life. - Kerry K. Your Soul's Plan for AugustAccording to some spiritual teachers, we healers often do work on the spiritual level (maybe while we are asleep) that we are not aware of consciously. I believe that, and I think we are far more connected as a collective than we might think we are. Kerry made reference to this in her video and said that as a collective, our souls came up with two plans for August that, if we can do them on the individual level, could have a big impact on humanity. (1) One is about letting go of something that has been a challenge for you. Part of you may resist or try to hang on to whatever the issue is for you. Hey! I wasn't done with that yet. But if we can remain open to it, the freedom we experience as a result will be powerful. And it will affect every other part of our lives. What do you need to let go of, that has been an ongoing challenge for you? (2) The other shift is about taking your power back and steeping into it fully. That empowerment will be offered to humanity as a whole, but we can help by doing the alchemy in our own lives. She asked us to consider this question: where am I disempowering myself? Wherever that is for you, if you can take your power back, you are likely to experience a peace that not only affects you, but has an impact on those around you and humanity as a whole. In order to create the empowerment we are now being called to, we each will have to let go of something that used to make us feel safe. What is that for you? Part of what I just said - letting go of something that used to make you feel safe - is a quote in a book by Darla LeDoux. So what shall we do, to help ourselves this month? Fear is the Common DenominatorIt is fear (or the desire to feel safe) that makes us cling to something that isn't good for us and fear that makes us give our power away. So let's take a look at the plan I've cooked up for us. :)  4 Questions, 1 Visualization |

Chakra Healing to Help You
Let Go & Feel Safe
Because fear is often the reason we hang onto the things we need to let go of, I believe that finding new ways to feel safe in every area of our lives needs to be part of our ongoing game plan. And heading into fall, you may want to consider practices that continue the work in a deeper way.
For example, with chakra healing. It's a mind-body-soul practice that can be life-changing as you let go, nurture, heal and empower your life.
But I suggest a slightly different focus. As you work on balancing and healing your chakras, bring safety to each one, not just the root chakra.
And empower each one, not just the solar plexus.
So you want to make it safe to trust yourself and your life, to be creative, to take back your power, to open your heart, to find your voice and your purpose, to listen to your intuition and to connect to your own divinity and to Spirit. And when you feel safe to take back your power, you'll do it in each of those ways.
Watch this website and stay tuned. I'm putting together a chakra healing resource for you that will include meditations to help you feel safe. When it's ready, I'll link to it above.
My Own Healing Intentions
There are several areas where I have been challenged in big ways, and I would welcome freedom in any of them. My relationship with money is one I mentioned last week, but I would also like to let go of limiting beliefs around power, agency and what I am capable of creating in my life.
And that would be right on time, because empowerment was one of the things she mentioned.
Dare I intend healing in more than one area? I'm going to need more rest!
But returning to the chakras and creating safety will make it easier.
My wish for the Lion's Gate Portal is that it returns me to my memory of who I am (the infinite me) and deepens my access to my wisdom and abilities. I also believe it will align me with how the spiritual rescue mission we healers and lightworkers all are on is meant to play out in my life, specifically.
Wishing you powerful magic as you step into the portal today!
love, Jeanine

Awakening your inner goddess is about finding your inner strength, grace, and empowerment, and connecting to your own divinity. But there are some misconceptions and myths I've seen about the inner goddess and goddess self, so I'm writing this post to help clear them up.
The Inner Goddess Concept is all about Pampering & Pleasure
Many seem to believe that embracing your inner goddess is about pampering yourself and indulging in superficial pleasures. But the truth is, it's so much more profound and powerful than that.
Awakening your inner goddess is about self-discovery, empowerment, and connecting deeply with your true self. When you connect with your goddess self, there is nothing superficial about it.
Now I'm not saying that self-care rituals aren't a part of the journey. Ideally, they become the vehicle for deepening your connection with your goddess self. And they serve the higher purpose of nurturing your soul.
That doesn't mean you can't pamper yourself, either. I'm all for it!
But that is not what embracing your inner goddess is about, and I don't want you to miss the deeper opportunity for connection with your divinity, because your attention is only focused on lavish pleasure.
Your inner goddess, your goddess self, is your divinity. It's the truest part of you. So we're talking about a spiritual pursuit and a spiritual connection, not a lighthearted spa experience.
You Have to Be a Perfect
Inner Goddess
We've been conditioned to expect and demand perfection from ourselves and each other. But it's a setup and it's destined to fail.
You have to let that go, especially when it comes to the relationship you're creating with your goddess self. Give yourself the freedom to play and experiment and see how it goes, without judging yourself.
In fact, you are on the right track when you accept yourself fully and love yourself, imperfections and all.
Your Inner Goddess is Only
Feminine Energy
Connecting with your inner goddess does mean embracing your divine feminine energy.
But it also will create balance between the feminine and masculine energies you carry. It will harmonize them within you.
It's Selfish to Focus on Connecting with Your Inner Goddess
This is a limiting belief that often comes to us from others. When we honor ourselves, prioritize self-care and set healthy boundaries, others may view us as selfish. But don't believe them.
Connecting with your inner goddess will help you develop healthy self-love and self-care practices. It will lead to being more authentic and to living a deeper connection with your divinity.
Shifting in those ways honors your mission, but it is not selfish in any way.
Awakening Your Inner Goddess
Requires Complex Rituals
Awakening your inner goddess does not require elaborate rituals or ceremonies.
Your inner goddess practice can be as simple as meditating for a few minutes a day, listening to your intuition, practicing gratitude, or creating moments of joy in your everyday life. The core of your practice is connecting with your authentic self and nurturing yourself with kindness and love.
So hopefully, I've dispelled the myths that could really get in your way as you awaken your inner goddess. Are there any that you still need to let go of?
See you next time!
love, Jeanine
Sacred ceremonies are the bridges between the divine and the mundane, creating moments where time stands still and the soul speaks. - Joseph Campbell
Though cozy everyday rituals provide simple, comforting ways to connect with your goddess self, adding sacred elements to them will make them holy. And those holy moments will raise your frequency, connect you to the sacred and forge an even deeper connection with your inner goddess.
Cozy Inner Goddess Rituals
Here are examples of ways to make your daily rituals cozy...
(1) Make a cup of tea or other delightful beverage.
(2) Wear cozy clothes & sit in your favorite comfy chair.
(3) Grab a blanket or throw and curl up with it.
(4) Light your favorite scented candle.
(5) Sit by the fire if it's cold enough.
Sacred Rituals
Light a candle to remind you of your intentions. As you light this candle, get clear on all the things inside yourself and in the world you wish to transform. Place each of those undesired thoughts, feelings and situations into the flame of the candle .... Ask [the divine] to transform and protect you and your world from these things that no longer serve you. - Evangeline Hemrick
Were you able to feel the sacred energy of that simple, imagined ritual? And did you notice how lighting a candle can be both cozy and sacred?
It's really the intention to connect with the divine that infuses a ritual with sacred energy. But you also can add activities like meditation or contemplative prayer, etc.
(1) Meditation
(2) Contemplative prayer
(3) Creating an altar for the change you want to create
(4) Holding a crystal as you meditate, or giving yourself crystal healing
(5) Clearing the energy of your space beforehand with sound, smoke, an essential oil spray or other tools.
How might you combine cozy and sacred elements to create your own inner goddess ritual?

See you next time!
