When You Lose the Old You to Find the True You

The courage to fall apart is often what opens the door to rise.

Do you feel it? That electric charge in the air, like the stillness before a thunderstorm that clears everything.

Right now, the collective energy is building for the 8/8 Lion’s Gate portal—when expansion, clarity, and initiation surge through us. It’s not just astrology—it’s energy. If you feel stretched, shifting, or fracturing, you’re not losing your way, your cracking open into the truth of who you’re meant to be. 

You’re aligned with the cosmic invitation to evolve.

When the Sacred Looks Like Chaos

Meltdowns don’t usually come with angelic whispers or crystal-clear epiphanies. They arrive as big feelings when your old language no longer fits who you’re becoming or have asked to be:

  • Losing your words mid-sentence because you’re birthing a new truth.
  • Snapping at someone you love: a tiny trigger, a massive charge.
  • Crying over dishes that weren’t dirty, but were silently heavy.
  • Feeling everything feels too loud… and not knowing what to drop first.

Your body, intuition, and nervous system are speaking long before your mind can catch up:

“This old way of being no longer fits who you’re becoming.”

The Personal Breakthrough That’s Also Collective

Your unraveling is more than personal—it’s planetary. When collective consciousness outgrows its old container, cracks appear so the light can enter.

Your meltdown isn’t a breakdown—it’s a breakthrough. It’s your soul’s way of saying: “I’ve outgrown this. I’m ready to step into more.”

Build Space for Clarity

Lion's Gate amplifies our capacity to receive cosmic clarity. But first—you must clear space for it to land.

Meltdown = space-making.
Crisis = perspective-shattering.
Collapse = new life emerging.

Don’t spiritual bypass the mess. Let your breakout be accompanied by presence, radical self-compassion, and trust in whatever rises next.

Let the stale, stagnant energy that’s been holding you hostage release back to the Earth with love and gratitude.

Turn Speech Into Release

Speak the unspeakable.

Name the grief. Share the overwhelm. Say what you’ve withheld: not for anyone else’s clarity, but for your own release.

Alchemy happens not when we avoid the crack, but when we let words move through the fracture. Even when the dam breaks, the walls of the healing support you.

Let your breakdown be your breakthrough.

Try This Anchor Practice: The Sanctuary Shift

When the storm is real, anchor remains possible:

  1. Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly. Feel your rhythm.
  2. Inhale 4, exhale 8—three times. Let your body soften.
  3. Rub palms until warm, then gently cup your closed eyes.
  4. Feel the sanctuary that’s always been with you.
  5. Place hands on your third eye. Breathe something new into view.

Hold until something softens—or you remember how to soften.

It’s not magic. It’s practice.

This Isn’t a Collapse. It’s Transcendence

The meltdown isn’t the conclusion. It’s a plot twist. The liminal moment where you shed outdated versions in order to embody what’s already rising.

This portal isn’t about manifesting more things—it’s about aligning with deeper truth.

Your Reminder: You Are Expanding

You are not broken.
You are expanding beyond confinement.
You are not less. You’re finally enough.

The Lion’s Gate energy doesn’t reward perfection. It amplifies presence, courage, and your willingness to rise through your truth.

 

A Sacred Invitation

If you feel called to cultivate support during this powerful portal, if you’re ready to shift overwhelm into wisdom and unraveling into alignment: join the waitlist for The Healing Sanctuary.

Because your nervous system deserves care. Your truth deserves witnessing. Your becoming deserves support.

Join the waitlist here. You’re not falling apart—you’re falling into alignment. And that changes everything.

With reverence and belief in your inner light,

Rikki
