We’ve been told that manifesting is about “attraction.” But that’s not quite the case. When you view abundance and your goals as something you need to attract, you’re still seeing them as separate from yourself.

The truth is: you are a transmission tower. You are abundance. You are the Master Creator of your experience.

To harness the full power of manifesting, it’s not about drawing things in—it’s about remembering that you already are the source. That means shifting from attraction energy into creation energy. And there’s no better time to embody that shift than during the Lion’s Gate portal—a cosmic alignment that peaks on 8/8, opening a gateway to higher frequencies, accelerated manifestation, and abundance consciousness.

Sia-Lanu Estrella, author of The Rainbow Tablets: Abundance and Sacred Co-Creation, shares how to work with this potent portal to step fully into your highest manifestation power.

What is Lion’s Gate?

Lion’s Gate starts late July and continues until mid-August, with the peak on 8/8. So why is it such a potent time for abundance and manifesting?

Lion’s Gate marks a special alignment of Sirius, Orion and Earth within the Leo sun sign. It creates a flow of cosmic energy that enables you to tap into higher frequencies and manifest with greater speed and ease.

Think of it as a portal to higher-dimensional planes where abundance, magic and miracles are the natural state. When you harness the energies of this powerful portal, you can take a huge leap into a higher timeline. It opens pathways and possibilities beyond anything you could have dreamed. But there is more to this manifestation portal than most realise! 

The hidden cosmic power of 8/8

The number eight is linked to abundance, luck and prosperity. Yet in the higher sense, the 8/8 portal is the amplification of the cosmic infinity.

So, what is the cosmic infinity? The pure abundance consciousness. This infinite flow of giving and receiving is the fabric of the universe.

As part of the universe, you are abundance. And your body is your manifestation vessel. It’s the physical coding of your frequency. Think of it as the infinity symbol. You are both the magnet for abundance and the amplifier of it. You are the unification of both Earth and stars. Once you realize abundance is not separate to you, you re-awaken the magic within and all around you.

Through this cosmic power of 8/8, Lion’s Gate is an activation into the pure abundance consciousness.

How to harness the power of this portal

Here are five ways to manifest at the highest levels this Lion’s Gate.

Dream big, then even bigger
There are so many layers to the lack programming. One of the sneakier ones is around setting “realistic goals”. Translation? Manifest with limitations.

This Lion’s Gate, cast all limitations aside. Go big with your dreams – really big. Listen to the most magical wishes of your heart. The true reality is one of magic and miracles. It exists beyond the illusion of the “3D” world. So, use this Lion’s Gate to elevate into the highest possibilities. And write your greatest dreams in your journal.

Encode your manifestation vessel
Start by using the Rainbow Pyramid Sovereignty Practice every morning to realign and amplify your frequency. This will also strengthen your intuition. Then spend a few minutes reading through your goals.

Breathe this highest vision into your heart and pulse it out through your entire body. Fill every cell with the magic of your true dreams. Then breathe your vision out to your energy field. Do this every day of August, so it is fully encoded into your body and being. In this way, you will vibrate at the frequency of all that you are manifesting. 

By tapping into your body as the transmission tower, it generates a toroidal field that literally creates your highest vision.

Take aligned action
After encoding your vessel each day, tune into the next steps. Open your heart and allow the guidance to drop in. Then act on it. They might be small steps you can take right away. Or it might require putting time aside during your day.

As you do each task, hold the full frequency of your vision as though it has already come into being. No doubt. No thinking smaller. Experience it as though it already exists. Let it be joyful and exciting. Your vision is your creation. Embody it like the lion’s roar – bold and regal.

Anchor it through ceremony
Come into ceremony on 8/8 and anchor all that you are manifesting. Your most magnificent expression of life already exists on the higher realms. As you connect with your dreams, you are tapping into the blueprint of this vision on the higher realms. The Lion’s Gate portal is the perfect time to anchor that blueprint onto this plane.

Find a nice spot in nature. Ask permission of the land and loving ancestors. Cleanse the space with sage, palo santo or the violet flame. Next, dig a small hole and offer your gratitude to Mother Earth and Father Universe. You might want to do this by offering a small crystal for each of them, ceremonial tobacco or an organic grain like quinoa.

Then encode your vision into a small crystal. Fill it with all of your love and gratitude for this highest vision. Call in the Earth, universe and your whole team to assist you in this powerful co-creation. Blow onto the crystal, place it in the hole and cover it up. After that, you might wish to celebrate this new timeline by making an Earth altar of flowers, feathers, shells and so on.

Keep expanding your frequency
Everything you take into your energy field either lowers or raises your frequency. So, consciously choose things that elevate you. Find empowering and inspiring podcasts. Get out into nature. Exercise regularly. And continue with your Rainbow Pyramid morning practice. A great place to start your ongoing expansion is with The Rainbow Tablets: Abundance and Sacred co-creation. You can order it online here.

And remember this…

Lion’s Gate is the most powerful manifestation portal of the year—a direct gateway into pure abundance consciousness. It’s not just a moment; it’s a return to the truth of who you are. A reconnection to the reality where magic and miracles are the norm.

Once you activate this frequency, it doesn’t fade. You don’t fall back down after 8/8. In fact, the opposite happens—if you continue to embody this higher vibration, you’ll keep creating at cosmic levels. Year after year, portal after portal, your expansion continues.

That’s the real gift of Lion’s Gate. Use it as your launchpad. Let it carry you into your highest, most aligned, and limitless self.
