The Lion's Gate is essentially a period of heightened cosmic energy that offers opportunities for significant spiritual growth, healing, and manifestation. It’s celebrated by many who seek to align with its powerful energies to enhance their spiritual journey and life path.
The Lion's Gate is an astrological event that occurs annually between July 26 and August 12, with its peak on August 8 (8/8). This period is associated with a powerful cosmic alignment involving the star Sirius, the Sun, and the Earth, and is believed to offer a potent time for spiritual awakening and transformation.
During the Lion's Gate, the star Sirius, also known as the "Spiritual Sun," rises in the sky and aligns with the Earth and the Sun. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the night sky and is often associated with higher consciousness and spiritual illumination.
The event occurs when the Sun is in the astrological sign of Leo, hence the name "Lion's Gate." Leo, represented by the lion, is a sign of strength, courage, and leadership. This alignment is believed to amplify the energy of the Lion's Gate, encouraging personal power and creative expression.
August 8 (8/8) is considered especially auspicious in numerology. The number 8 is associated with abundance, power, and the infinite loop of energy and transformation. It is often seen as a symbol of balance and cosmic order.
During this Yoga Nidra, you will be guided through a systematic process of progressively relaxing the body and mind. This relaxation allows you to develop a heightened awareness of their physical sensations, emotions, and mental states. By cultivating this internal awareness, you can explore your body from within, gaining deeper insights into areas that may be holding tension or experiencing pain.
During this meditation, you are encouraged to observe all sensations without judgment or resistance. This gentle observation can facilitate a shift in how pain is perceived and experienced.
Rather than viewing pain as a purely negative sensation, the practice encourages you to reframe your relationship with pain. This shift in perspective can lead to a more compassionate understanding of one's body and its signals.
Learning to feel the body from within and re-framing sensations are fundamental to healing pain through Yoga Nidra.
The session begins with the Tibetan singing bowls ringing and a soothing body scan, guiding your awareness through each part of your body, releasing tension and inviting deep relaxation to settle in. With each breath, you sink further into a state of blissful calm.
Next, Geny introduces an energy-cleansing pranayama practice, helping you to clear away any lingering stress or negativity, allowing your inner light to shine brightly. The singing bowl vibration helps remove blockages.
As you delve deeper into the meditation, you find yourself transported to the sacred slopes of a majestic mountain. Here, amidst the serene beauty of nature, you experience a powerful transformation. You shape shift into an eagle, soaring high above the landscape, feeling a sense of freedom and expansiveness wash over you.
Then, guided by Geny's gentle voice, you gracefully transform once again, this time into a sturdy and grounded tree. Rooted deeply into the earth, you feel a profound connection to the world around you, experiencing a sense of strength, stability, and resilience.
As the meditation draws to a close, you return to your physical body, feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and deeply at peace.
With gratitude in your heart, you carry the wisdom of this journey with you, ready to face whatever life may bring with grace and inner strength.

Indeed, the concepts of purity and impurity are often associated with the human experience. They can be understood in various contexts, such as morality, spirituality, and personal growth. Let's explore these concepts further.
Purity generally refers to being untainted, uncontaminated, or free from moral, physical, or spiritual flaws. It often implies a sense of cleanliness, integrity, and righteousness. In a moral sense, purity may involve adhering to ethical principles and acting in a virtuous manner. It can also relate to maintaining a clear conscience and being free from guilt or wrongdoing.
Impurity, conversely, signifies a state of contamination, corruption, or a departure from what is considered pure. It can manifest as moral failings, unethical behaviour, or actions that harm oneself or others. Impurity may also refer to a lack of spiritual alignment or being influenced by negative emotions, thoughts, or intentions.
The idea that purity and impurity live within us suggests that human beings possess both virtuous and flawed aspects. It acknowledges the complex nature of human existence, acknowledging that individuals have the capacity for both good and bad actions, thoughts, and intentions. It recognizes the inherent duality within us, where we can exhibit kindness and compassion while also experiencing moments of selfishness or negativity.
Furthermore, this concept implies that achieving purity or overcoming impurity is a continual process rather than a fixed state. It suggests that individuals have the potential to cultivate purity by engaging in self-reflection, personal growth, and ethical behaviour. By consciously examining our thoughts, emotions, and actions, we can strive to reduce impurity and foster positive qualities within ourselves.
It's important to note that the interpretation of purity and impurity may vary across different cultural, religious, and philosophical perspectives. Ideas surrounding these concepts can be subjective and influenced by individual beliefs, societal norms, and personal values.
Bring the warmth of a tea candle and the attention of your loving heart to prepare the soil to bloom this Springtime.
Imagine that your body and mind are like a garden, waiting to bloom with new ideas, creativity, and positivity. Visualize this garden within you, full of potential and ready to burst forth. Take a moment to reflect on any old thought patterns, habits, or emotions that no longer serve you. Acknowledge them without judgment, and then visualise them gently floating away like leaves in the wind. Picture yourself surrounded by the energy of spring, feeling the warmth of the sun and the nourishment of the earth. Embrace the sense of possibility and growth that comes with this season. Take a moment to express gratitude for the upcoming spring and for the opportunity to grow and evolve alongside nature.
We are all responsible for everything that happens around us, because we have to be responsible for what's in our minds, and we can only change our surroundings if we are first prepared to change ourselves.
As part of Ho'oponopono, we learn to heal everything by taking full responsibility for what surrounds us - confession, repentance, and reconciliation. In essence, it represents Compassion in Action because it arises from a deep sense of interconnection, of the inter-being of us all, which makes me feel like no matter what has happened, I am part of it and I bear responsibility for it in some way.
The practice of Ho'oponopono invites you to:
With this meditation, you will have the opportunity to connect with the heart chakra - Anahata. Compassion, empathy, and love are all associated with this chakra.
In Sanskrit, Anahata means 'unstruck sound' and is represented by the element of air and the colour green. It is also represented by a lotus flower.
Ayurveda uses the principles of nature's five elements, known as the 'Panchamabhuta' (the theory of five great elements). Based on the Panchamabhuta concept, everything in physical creation comprises five basic elements that makeup nature. The five elements are earth, air, water, fire, and space.
According to Ayurveda, space, or Akash, is the most delicate element of nature. It is believed by Ayurveda that Akash, or space, was the first element to come into existence.
In this Yoga Nidra meditation, you will be guided to explore the space within.
Enjoy!
This meditation will take you on a beautiful journey up a mountain to enjoy a start night on a new moon sky.
The key part of the practice is the hourglass visualisation of your breath. Your head will be one half of the hourglass, the neck is the neck and the chest is the bottom half.

The third eye chakra is located between the eyebrows and represents our sense of intuition, or inner knowing. This chakra incorporates our pineal gland, sinuses and eyesight, as well. The element of this chakra is ether (or, space), as the medium of intuition is higher consciousness.
Intuition is essentially our sixth sense. Our sense of inner knowing or higher wisdom which comes from a place other than our thinking mind or ego. When the mind’s chatter is loud and overwhelming, we cannot access this voice. It is still, and small, and the thoughts of the thinking mind and ego drown it out.
This prevents us from receiving the messages that are meant for us, that help to guide us in the right direction, or that lead us out of dark places. The ego is so convinced that it has all the answers, it never relaxes enough to let these more inspired answers through.
Duality and polarity will stop us from being in tune with our intuition. We need to know how our perception of the world is and stretch our persecute and awareness. We do this all the time through yoga and meditation.
We need to work with our shadows to understand our selves better and be receptive to our intuition.

“Sometimes there is a seed in your heart. It might feel like a stone, or like a bud ready to blossom. It might feel like a heavy little egg, and you have no idea what's inside. It might feel like a hard, burning ember. No seed is the same. But if you let that seed, that feeling-sound, take root, then it will grow. Sometimes it grows quickly, or sometimes very slowly, especially if you don't tend it. It could take months or even years to grow up through your throat and out your mouth. But when you do finally speak it, the birds call that a heart-song.” ―
Katherine Catmull, Summer and Bird

During the winter months, we eat heavier foods and might have done less physical activity accumulate. This can make us feel a bit heavier and more lethargic. A typical consequence of an increase of the Kapha dosha, according to Ayurveda.
The Kapha dosha is comprised of the Water and Earth elements. Therefore it's heavy and also related to the fluids in our bodies. During the spring Kapha 'melts' and starts moving. If we exercise and cleanse our bodies, Kapha will leave our bodies and we'll enjoy the Springtime totally. If we don't do that, we might suffer from stronger hay fever, heaviness of body and mind and colds or flu. In the mind and emotions, an excess Kapha may make you feel suspicious of others or have a tendency to hoard material things.
You are stable, supported and grounded.
By working to expand the energy in the body, we aim to create lasting balance throughout the entire system. The Kapha dosha, when balanced influences our strength and stamina. It can give us a sense of security and stability of the mind and emotions. When the Kapha dosha is balanced, you will have a sweet and caring nature, your spirit will be contented and patient, and your heart will be full of generosity and receptivity.
This Yoga Nidra meditation is to balance the Kapha dosha.
Memory is a funny thing. It's very personal and not always accurate. However, it can be exercised and improved.
