Lion’s Gate Portal Meditation

by 8hummingbirdway

I want to share this meditation. It is offered by a woman named Eluña who I have followed for the past 6 months or so. I consider her my teacher at this time – although I have others. It took me some time to trust her.

I trust her deeply. She has provided a great deal for me on my journey within – all extremely beneficial.

This is an activation, which means something within you is being impacted or changed. This meditation connects one’s heart with one’s mind, rewires the brain, then the soul and the heart connect. This is a simplification. Much occurs – all within a cocoon of the heart center.

For you astrologers, it’s a Lion’s Gate activation.

I slept through it on Saturday (August 8th Lion’s Gate) and thought I should listen again and know what occurred. I’m grateful I did.

I’m Coming out of the Closet!

by 8hummingbirdway

It has taken a long time, but this morning during a meditation/breathwork session, it became clear that it is time. I have some things to offer and I am going to bring them forward. I have lost my fear …of ridicule …of failure …of not being able to stand in the light …of what might come through during channeling Lei Lei.

I have stated that I am a channel on my FaceBook profile and written a few random things over time. This morning I posted this:

For almost a year now, I have been channeling a loving being named Lei Lei …since last September. I was engaged in a healing process that included dream analysis. It was explained to me that my dreams were messages from my soul. I received two messages repeatedly …one about my health and one that I had agreed before this incarnation to channel. I resisted both messages initially, but when a dream indicated that I was not fulfilling my mission in this life, I decided to try to comply. It’s been an amazing journey, a blessed journey. I had to learn to trust, and there were agreements that had to be made between Lei Lei and I. I had to learn how to raise my frequency and to get my mind out of the way so that the messages, healing and information could come through from the higher realm exactly as intended.

I have much more to share about this – about who exactly Lei Lei is, and I will be bringing messages forth, and who knows what will unfold!

Life is wondrous!

This is a departure for me. I can’t say exactly why, but a page has turned.

Oh, I guess it’s the fear thing.

Gratitude.

A Channeled message: Bands of Being

by 8hummingbirdway

This message was provided to a person who recieves weekly channeled messages. It was channeled specifically for her, but the message is is one that might be helpful to any of us. We all reside in places of lower and higher energies, frequencies, and vibrations at various times.

We want to describe a vision that we have of you.

You are floating along with some intention, but with great ease, in a band of color, which is up on the rooftops, a level with the lower home rooftops, one story. 

It is a band of purplish-blue. 

We see other bands, and they all denote certain ways of being, or feelings, or sense of oneself, or the world that one lives in, the way that one must navigate.

And so this bluish-purple is harmonious compared to some of the lower ones. 

The ones at the lower level, closer to or even within the earth, are more muted hues. 

They are even shadowy when one gets to a place of blame, disappointment, criticism, anger with oneself or others, sorrow.

And we are happy to see you where you are now, in a place of relative harmoniousness. However, there are also many bands above you. And oh, you are rising now into a greenish, a lovely soft green.

And it is a place of love, a place of gratitude, greater harmoniousness. And again, you raise up into a lighter yellow, that we see a light yellow, where you are elevated even more.

You have a greater trust in yourself and in your life. 

Be aware that time is passing. More time than it takes to say these words.

There are pauses, and so you are spending some time in each band, and then you elevate to another band, or sometimes sink down to a lower one.

There are ways that one can rise to a higher band. 

One can be at the tops of the highest trees, or one can be at the mountaintops.

And one can go even higher than this, where the colors are more golden, and white, and a bright blue, we see. They are not aligned with the chakras or the rainbows. It is various amounts of shadowiness …or your alignment with a particular color that you particularly enjoy might be very high.

And we want to say that the higher bands will find you closer to spirit. And you can enter these higher bands through meditation or prayer. You can enter these higher bands through high regard of yourself or others, or gratitude, as we mentioned before.

Sometimes singing will help one. Singing a favorite song will help one to rise up. 

Forgiveness, acceptance, blessed memories, connection, heart connections with those you love.

Feeling, being in touch with your feeling of connection with spirit and even the angelic realm, creator. 

Being in nature, for some, elevates one to a higher band of being. And we offer this vision so that you can choose how you want to navigate your moments.

Recognize that you always have a choice. One cannot go from the lowest to the highest, but one can climb almost as if it is a staircase. 

One can climb higher and higher in various ways – by residing in joy, trust, acceptance.

We would like to see you in places of great pleasure and harmoniousness and blessing. 

And this is all we have for you today. 

Blessings to you

Message of Release from Lei Lei

by 8hummingbirdway

This message has come through Lei Lei recently. Different versions of this message of release have been provided to different individuals. Release seems to be a common and important message at this time.

We want to offer you a way to release that which you are struggling with, a way to release patterns and thoughts and wounds and burdens that you are traveling with, that no longer serve you, and that you are ready to release.

Our guidance is that when you step into the water, a shower, a bath, or into any body of water (pool, lake), that you say audibly, “I release that which no longer serves me.” And this will allow you to let go, to cut the binds that are constricting you, to release old patterns.

You will find that there are times when you will release more than one thing. You may or may not become aware of that which you are releasing, and this is not necessary.

And you also may find that sometimes a pattern or a wound that has been or is now significant in your life may take repeated releasings so that you may enter the water and say that you are ready to release or ask for release or express your intention to release all that no longer serves you. You may find yourself working on a specific pattern or wound for a period of time. You may or may not be aware of the specific wound.

One of the ways that you may become aware of these wounds is through memories that rise up just in your mind that you have not thought of for some time …or dreams that show you various aspects of a pattern or wound, the same pattern and wound repeatedly. 

This is not something that we are requiring of you. It is simply an offer.

There is no expectation. 

There is another alternate way which will allow you to double up on the releases or to do it in a different way. When you are settling into bed at night and sleep is approaching or you are approaching sleep, you can say the same thing.

“I intend to release that which no longer serves me.” 

You can choose to do this multiple times a day, both bathing and sleeping or swimming …or you could do it once a week. 

You can decide how to utilize this practice for yourself in the way that feels best for you.

Blessings to you.

Losing my Balance

by 8hummingbirdway

I have been working so hard on sustaining balance, on not even thinking negatively about others, on not being judgemental. For what seems like a very long time, I have been engaged in healing my past, meditating daily, walking, practicing Qigong, parcticing humility, serving others, focusing on being kind, focusing on simple tasks.

And it has improved my life. I feel balanced and happy and more confident …most of the time. I take pride in the new me. I am deeply grateful.

And the world has opened up in new ways.

However …it seems that life is still offering up regular challenges …so I can know from time to time that I haven’t truly arrived anywhere.

This morning, I was unable to navigate a family member’s hostility toward me regarding a trivial matter.

I was told that I made a mistake. I didn’t think I had, but then I realized that I was at fault, and I apologized. There was discussion of details and the person’s tone became hostile and they swore.

I had sustained humility until that point, but then I was triggered.

I raized my voice, upset.

I was accused of yelling.

And then the conversation went downhill on both sides for a few minutes until I became quiet. I was able to stop responding, which took a great deal of effort and restraint.

We disconnected.

I was still upset with the other person, but more upset with myself.

How could I land here after so much work …and so much commitment?

My meditation was a joke. I could not stay present.

Being imperfect is just not enjoyable.

And yes, I realize the ridiculousness of that sentence. I’m going to be sustaining imperfection for life.

How do I navigate it?

Simple tasks help.

There is still time to regain my sense of self.

Thank you LIFE (or ego) for letting me know – again – how much work there is to do.

I don’t know that I will ever arrive, but I will continue to walk the path.

I suppose these triggering events help me to sustain my work toward overall balance and wellbeing.

Self-righteousness

by 8hummingbirdway

I truly believe that we are entering a new time, that our world is changing. I am coming to understand more and more that reality is not easy to understand, to pin down. Things are not as they seem. I/we seem to have been living in a fictional reality.

No – that’s not right. It’s that we somehow construct our sense of reality based on our perception of what we believe to have occured/be occurring in our lives …and around us.

We actually get to choose the reality we live in to some extent …by our perception of what is and what we align with …and how we conduct ourselves.

Mostly I feel I am aligned with the raising frequencies and vibrations. I believe in them. I hold onto these beliefs with all my heart.

(I’m sure this would sound completely crazy to my dad, who I love and respect. But he is no longer with us in the physical world.)

Today, however, I woke with a bellyache. I had gone to bed self-righteously and distant because my husband wouldn’t talk to me about an issue I was annoyed about. I realized this morning that if he had simply worded his position differently, it would have been no issue.

Is this how I want to live? Causing strife and negativity around me?

No. I want to be that person who lets small things go, who recognizes what is important – my beloved partner, that our time together be harmonious, that wakes up each morning with gratitude …rather than remorse.

The debate was so unimportant. Different ways of communicating …a minor irritation.

I missed our gentle evening time together – listening to a story and then enjoying the back porch after dark …giving him a back scratch. This is the true gold in my life.

I will apologize this morning, forgive myself, and do my best to harvest all the blessings that are here for me in this day.

Setting Intentions

by 8hummingbirdway

I’ve heard from multiple sources that during this week there is light that is arriving on our planet that will raise the planetary frequencies, and our personal frequencies if we align with positive transformation. I choose to believe this and to align with this raising of frequency in several ways. One way is by setting intentions for myself of what I want to change in my life.

I have 6 intentions that I want to share. The first 4 are ongoing:

  1. I set this intention a couple of months ago. I want to release judgement and negativity toward others. This is easier said than done. It is so easy to judge, and the pattern of judgement is deeply ingrained within me. Sometimes I’m not even aware of it. It has entered my awareness more fully since I set the intention – and so I’m continuing with this goal and intention.
  2. I want to continue to go within and connect with Source/Creator/God and allow transformation to result.
  3. I want to sustain harmony in my days and in my family and in my life.
  4. I want to sustain and possibly improve(!) my health and wellbeing through various forms of exercise and activities.
  5. I want to call these things forth in my life: This intention has multiple aspects. Some things are obvious to me. I want to continue to raise my frequency. I want to provide support to my allies. Others need clarity …(How much do I want to work?)
  6. I want to establish perception of and resistance to manipulation by others. (This feeling of being susceptible to manipulation has arisen twice recently.)

What do you want to change in your life? Add to or remove from it?

How do you personally want to transform?

The increasing light that will reportedly be strongest on July 7th is already available to us now. I assume that means we have another week afterward – a couple of weeks to attend to this opportunity!

It is an amazing reality that we are living in!

Blessings,

Annie

Deception, Confusion and Disappointment in Myself

by 8hummingbirdway

Yesterday I woke thinking about about the post I wrote the day before, the one that showed up before this, called “The Wounded Father.” I felt, as I scheduled it, that I should read it again. But I didn’t. The day was busy.

I also had a dream that night that showed I had been or was being deceptive. And then I realized that it was about my post.

The post cast a negative shadow on another person, a person I care about. A person who is doing his best, like most of us.

He will not read the post, nor will his children, who inspired the post.

I thought about removing the post , but this seems cowardly …like sweeping things under the rug. I don’t like doing that. [the post was removed on 7/21/25]

I will remove it eventually, maybe next week. But first I want to lay myself bare …to the best of my ability.

I don’t quite understand the word …deceptive. I exposed some aspects of a person and his upbringing in some detail …then I went into a discussion of the plight of the male, something I have wanted to write about, have started to write about in the past. But I left out aspects that I beleive are important, skimming over the topic, leaving a pretense of having addressed it – and him – with wisdom and understanding.

So I guess that’s it. The word “pretense” makes it clear to me. A version of deception.

The post also lacks qualities I try to bring forth – like inspiration, or shining a light on something, or offering resolution, understanding. It was an attempt that should have been reworked or discarded.

I have been wanting to write more, but not in this way. Each message must have clarity, purpose, integrity …reflecting my truth.

I do want to thank the reader that commented positively on the post. I was glad it had some value for her. And I agree with her – that things are changing for the better.

Blessings,

Annie

A Dream of Release

by 8hummingbirdway

I have recently come to understand that dreams are messages from the soul.

When I was 17, in my senior year of high school, I fell in love with another senior. I’ll call him P. We were waiting for college decisions, and after the summer we went our separate ways. We stayed in touch, and after one semester, we both dropped out with the intention of taking a year off, then attending a school across the country together. We lived at my perents for a while, then moved to his parents house. I was crazy about him. Completely happy. We had a dog and planted a big garden, got jobs, and then he told me he wanted me to move out. He was done with our relationship …because I didn’t want to have sex often enough. No conversation or discussion, just please move out.

Long story short, this was the heartbreak of my life. I carried this hurt everywhere I went …through my first marriage, and into my 2nd. Not that I pined away 20 + 30 + 40 years later, but …it was there, the pain, the not measuring up, the abandonment. And he was still a symbol of loss duing the healing meditations I worked with last year.

A couple days ago I got up in the middle of the night and wrote down a dream in my dream journal. When I read it 2 days later, I had no memory of it. This morning during my channeling session, I read it for interpretation.

“P was in the dream. He was nearby at a college, and I was trying to connect with him, looking for a while, tracing him, and finding an empty room, an empty chair. Finally, I caught up with him and made a plan, then wavered. I realized the pain it would bring my husband. I don’t really ever want anyone else. I ran into P to talk, but he didn’t want to talk, just wanted sex. I avoided it, managed to lie with him, sleep, and then he was gone. Later, I didn’t show up. There was longing, but relief, too.”

Ah, yes, we do understand this message. Final release, and choice to release this man who wounded you early in your life, who you felt fully aligned with, and yet were disappointing to him, and he did not have the ability to discuss it, sort it out, simply to turn away. That was so painful and such a loss for you at that time, and it haunted you for many years, and now you have a love with your husband that goes beyond what you could have possibly had with this other man, and you know it, and it has been a long wait for this love and this deep connection, and you are aware of this, and you turn away from anything else in your life that would harm him, harm your connection, and you simply are present for your partner.

This is a good message. Thank you. I love the message, and I align with it. It feels very true. I’m happy to finally release this wound from the past.

This is great. Thank you. That is wonderful.

And so I am free! After such a long time.

I don’t know why it took so long. I have healed my relationships with my parents and others who hurt or disappointed me in the course of this life. Even close others who simply judged me and vanished. I can’t think of anyone else who impacted me so deeply and gave me such a low sense of my worth in this life.

I suppose the strong love I have in my current marriage tips the balance toward release.

I don’t hate P or wish him harm. I trust that he showed up to provide a challenge for me that I had to navigate in order to be who I am. And to provide understanding of others …and I probably won’t fully understand in this life.

Finally, I say goodbye to P.

Gratefully.
