Three Ways to Make the Most of the Lion’s Gate Portal (the Day of Manifestation)
Did you know that August 8th is a very powerful day in the manifestation calendar? This day is known as the Lion’s Gate Portal and every year, people all around the world use this day to reflect on their goals and consciously align their homes, hearts, and minds with the life they wish to attract. It’s a wonderfully special day in manifestation, and a key date for anyone looking to make Big Things Happen!
Here are my top three ways to make the most of this day’s unique energy, and to help give your manifestations a boost.
1/ Space Clear Your Home
If you’ve been looking for an excuse to cut the clutter, use the day as an opportunity to clean, organise, and refresh your home’s energy flow. From the artwork you have displayed on your walls and the clothes in your closet to the contents of your kitchen pantry, mindfully sort through it all and ask yourself “Will I use this in the next six months?” and “Is this still in alignment with my highest self?”.

2/ Refresh Your Goals and Affirmations
If the last goals you wrote were your New Year’s resolutions, take some time to quietly reflect on whether they still reflect what it is you truly want. Circumstances change and you might find that what you thought you wanted no longer holds the same appeal for you. Your manifestations aren’t set in stone, and it’s perfectly fine to want to pivot to a new dream - you just need to make sure your energy flow isn’t holding you hostage to an outdated goal.
Update any goals or affirmations you have written down on your vision board, or anywhere you have them on display in your home. If you need some inspiration, try journaling or meditating in the summer sun to reflect on what your dream future looks like. Remember, the Lion’s Gate Portal is known for its ambitious, courageous energy, so no dream is too big!
3/ Cleanse Your Crystals
Crystals are an important tool for manifestation, but they need to be regularly cleansed and recharged to remain at their most powerful. Why not utilize the Lion’s Gate Portal’s powerful sun energy to give your crystals an extra boost?
The first step is to cleanse them with water in either of the following ways:
Give them a thorough rinse under the tap and clean them with lavender soap.
Soak them in a bowl of saltwater to purify them (for about 20 minutes).
You can make these methods more effective by visualizing the water cleansing away any negative energy. Remember to make sure your crystals are fully submerged in the water and to pat them gently dry afterwards.
The second step is to activate them:
Place them outside in direct sunlight at noon to recharge under the sun’s rays. Leave them out there for three hours, bringing them in at 3:00PM
When you bring them back in, activate the crystal with your intentions. With your eyes closed and your mind at rest, pick up your crystal and visualize a bright white light surrounding it. Think carefully about what it is you want your crystal to help you with and what it is you’re looking to attract.
