🦁Strength🦁

As we are in Leo season, and as of the writing of this post, inside the Lion’s Gate portal, a lot of different conversations about strength keep popping up. When we think of “strength” what are some of the things that pop into your mind about it?

For me:

Strength means, you are able (to carry, lift, protect, defend); to have the ability to desire a change or intensify consistency. A lot of people I have seen, or even come to me with Spiritual help, for whatever reason, think that they are “unable” to achieve and prosper. Their abilities have been tested consistently and it has made a deep, deep, deep impact on their mental stability.

Which now kinda bleeds into my next point: Where does S T R E N G T H come from? Well, to quote my ancestor, Avis, “yuh mind is rule yuh body” being a Caribbean girl and now woman - I would always hear my great - grandmother say that. “Yuh mind is rule yuh body, yuh min’ is rule yuh hear!” and from a juvenile stand point, I’m like, yea yea, i get it. If you think you can’t do something more than likely you can’t. Now that I am older, I understand that, that goes so much deeper than that.

S T R E N G T H is a manifestation of all the abilities and gifts that you were blessed and anointed with. We literally manifest our able capacities everyday, via our mindset. In order to be able your mind must be intact. What do you say to yourself when you wake up in the morning? Or are you just doom scrolling looking at memes at the time? Hearing and seeing things like, “People are always out to get you!?” “Love is so hard!” “Black people always be broke” well, that seeps into your subconscious, without you even realizing it, it festers and grows and inhibits your ability to manifest. To be S T R O N G.

No wonder our minds are always hungry, because we are always eating junk online - the feed is not wholesome. Even in our social interactions and relationships, there are people in our lives who are just stuck in a woe is me mindset. Adjust that, and remove it immediately! Stay closer to support systems who are always trying to level up, that have enriching conversations, less complaining and more action (more abilities) the more you encapsulate yourself in these things, you will be able to not only strengthen yourself, but also pull the willing along and enforce your tribe!

Community and ritual is a big part of my life, and I am not just talking about being a spiritual woman, I mean the day to day rituals. Bathing, rich and deep conversations, cleaning and tidying the home, the fruits and veggies we ingest - the sharing of my sacred time. Time is a big part of strengthening me, because it is an element in how I conjure my able body and my able spirit. When we spend time with others, that high vibration is passed on to others, then they become strong and the unity expands and we are indeed stronger together.

As Leo season continues, and you manifest. Remember that your S T R E N G T H is in your mindset. The belief in manifesting your magick and evolving your abilities. The amplification of this portal closes on the 12th of August, so take time, to strengthen yourself .
