A Ritual for awakening the Lion within

Ritual for Awakening the Lion Within This Leo Season

Purpose:
To embrace the power and courage of the Leo energy, awakening the lion within you, and opening your heart to love, strength, and self-expression.

Tools Needed:
Evolve Perfume Elixir :  designed to evoke passion, drive and embodyment
Candle: Preferably in gold or orange to represent the Leo energy.
Quiet Space: A comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed.
Journal: For reflections after the ritual.



Prepare Your Space
- Find a quiet, comfortable place where you can sit or lie down.
- Light a gold or orange candle to symbolise the vibrant energy of Leo.
- Have your Evolve Perfume Elixir nearby.

Set Your Intention
- Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
- Focus on your heart center, speaking to yourself with love and understanding as you welcome the intention to activate your inner power and embody your big cat energy. Ask yourself if you need to make a sound - a roar perhaps? or a deep exhale releasing all that is holding you back from embodiment of your confidence and power. 

Anoint Your Chest
- Take the Evolve Perfume Elixir and apply a small amount to your hands.
- With slow, circular motions, massage the elixir onto your chest, right over your heart center, focus on the spaces between the ribs and beside your sternum, these can be sore so go slow and steady - breathing out and releasing. This opens the heart protector and welcomes space for your heart to expand. Let the evolve elixir's scent embrace you and take over any thoughts, allowing you to sit in complete presence. 
- As you massage, visualise a golden light emanating from your heart, growing stronger with each breath.

for extra support
- Speak or think affirmations that resonate with the Leo energy and your intentions. Examples include:
- “I am strong, brave, and confident.”
- “I embrace my inner lion and express myself with courage.”
- “My heart is open to love and joy.”

Meditate:
- Take the time now to Sit or lie comfortably with your eyes closed.
- Focus on your breath and the warmth in your chest.
- Visualise a powerful lion within you, feeling its strength and grace.
- Allow yourself to embody this lion energy, feeling it flow through your entire being.

Journal:
- After your meditation, take some time to write down any thoughts, feelings, or insights that arose during the ritual.
- Reflect on how you can carry this awakened lion energy into your daily life.

Close the Ritual:
- Thank yourself for taking this time for self-care and empowerment. If you have Shaman mist this grounding Ritual Mist supports the anchoring of the highest energy to the here and now, crown soul to earth star and is a wonderful support tool to close rituals and walk this ultimate energy through into your daily life. 
- Extinguish the candle, symbolising the completion of the ritual but knowing the light continues within you.


Repeat the ritual as needed to maintain and strengthen your connection with your inner lion.
Customise the ritual with additional elements like crystals (e.g., citrine or sunstone) or music that inspires you.

By following this ritual, you’ll harness the fiery, courageous energy of Leo, awakening your inner lion and empowering your heart to shine brightly.
