Manifest Your Desires with Crystals During the 8:8 Lion’s Gate Portal

By Dr. Neeti Kaushik

“The Universe is not outside of you. Look inside, everything you want, you already are.” – Rumi

There are many energetic portals in a year—moments when the Universe seems to open its arms wider, inviting us to align, manifest, and rise. Each has its own beauty, but there are two portals that are especially close to my heart: the 11:11 portal and the 8:8 Lion’s Gate portal.

Both of these have held a very special place in my personal journey. But I must share with you, the Lion’s Gate 8:8 portal has created some of the most magical shifts in my own life practice. Each year when this gateway opens, I have witnessed desires unfolding, synchronicities aligning, and manifestations arriving in ways that felt nothing short of divine.

That is why I hold this day with such excitement and reverence. It is not just another date on the calendar—it is a celestial celebration, a golden doorway that opens wide to help you manifest your heart’s truest desires.

And today, I am here to walk you through how you can work with the magic of crystals to make this day even more powerful, aligned, and sacred.

🦁 What is the 8:8 Lion’s Gate Portal?

Let me simplify it for you. Imagine the Sun in Leo (the bold, courageous lion), Sirius—the spiritual sun—rising in the sky, and the Earth aligning with the Galactic Centre. This cosmic triangle creates a surge of high-frequency energy, allowing divine codes of wisdom, transformation, and manifestation to pour into your energetic field.

Think of it as a universal energy beam downloading into your soul. It awakens your light. It pushes you to level up. And if you're ready, it will amplify your intentions and manifestations in ways you’ve never imagined.

The number 8 (in numerology) represents infinity, prosperity, karmic balance, and divine alignment. So on 8:8, you’re not just dreaming—you’re aligning with your soul’s highest timeline.

✨ Why Work with Crystals During the Lion’s Gate?

Crystals are not just tools; they are companions—earth-born energies that carry their own wisdom and frequency. They absorb, amplify, and reflect your intentions. And on powerful days like the 8:8 portal, they become magnets of manifestation.

When you hold a crystal during this cosmic event, you're telling the Universe:
🌟 I am ready.
🌟 I am open.
🌟 I am aligned with my highest potential.

So now, let me walk you through the top crystals I personally recommend for this sacred portal—and how you can use them.

🔮 Crystals to Work With During the 8:8 Portal

Before I share the specific crystals and rituals with you, let me guide you with something important.

On this sacred day, the energy is magnified—your intentions are like seeds being planted into the most fertile soil of the universe. So I am going to share with you different crystals for different areas of life—wealth, career, love, health, courage, and family.

You don’t need to do them all. In fact, I strongly suggest that you choose mindfully. Ask yourself: “What is the one (or two) area(s) of my life that need my attention the most right now?” Then, choose the crystal and activity for that.

✨ If you want to do more than one, you may. But please don’t do more than three activities at a time. Why? Because too many intentions can scatter your energy. Instead of focused power, it gets diluted. The Lion’s Gate is about intensity, clarity, and alignment—so channel your energy where you most need it.

“The Universe responds not to how much you ask, but to how clearly you ask.”

Now, let’s dive into the crystals and the simple activities you can do with them for manifestation. Whether it’s your love life, your career, your wealth, or your family harmony, you’ll find the right practice here.

🌌 First Step: Align Yourself Before Manifesting

Before you rush to ask the Universe for wealth, love, or success, let me remind you of something very important. Manifestation is not about asking for more—it is about asking from alignment.

If your energy is scattered, your desires are unclear, or your heart is restless, the Universe receives a mixed signal. And mixed signals bring mixed results. That is why the very first step during the 8:8 Lion’s Gate is to align your mind, body, and spirit with higher consciousness.

There are two powerful crystals I always recommend for this alignment stage:

💜 Amethyst – The Soul’s Calm

Amethyst is the crystal of peace, intuition, and spiritual connection. It quiets the restless mind and opens the third eye, so you can see your soul’s truth more clearly. Working with amethyst during Lion’s Gate ensures that you are not manifesting from fear or ego, but from clarity and divine guidance.

✨ How to use Amethyst for Alignment:

• Sit in a quiet space and hold amethyst in your left hand.
• Close your eyes and breathe slowly, repeating:
  “I align my heart, mind, and spirit with the highest good.”
• Meditate for few minutes, allowing your inner noise to soften.

🤍 Clear Quartz – The Universal Amplifier

Clear quartz is known as the “Master Healer.” It cleanses your energy field, removes blocks, and creates a clear channel between you and the Universe. Before you set intentions with other crystals, clear quartz ensures you are aligned and ready to manifest with purity and focus.

✨ How to use Clear Quartz for Alignment:

• Wear a clear quartz pendant or bracelet on 8:8 to stay connected throughout the day.
• Or, hold clear quartz in both palms, close your eyes, and say:
  “I am aligned with the infinite flow of the Universe. My desires are clear and pure.”

🌟 You can also wear a Seven Chakra bracelet if you have one. It balances all your chakras, ensuring your energy is flowing harmoniously before you begin your manifestation rituals.

“When you are aligned with yourself, the Universe aligns with you.”

Once you feel calm, centered, and clear—then and only then move to the next step: choosing the crystals for specific areas of your life.

💛Citrine – The Sun’s Joy (Wealth Abundance)

Citrine is sunshine captured in crystal form. It carries the vibration of joy, prosperity, and self-worth. It resonates strongly with the solar plexus chakra, the seat of confidence and manifestation power. During the Lion’s Gate, when the energy of abundance is magnified, citrine helps you attract wealth, opportunities, and financial stability with ease.

💛 How to Use Citrine for Abundance:

1. Take a yellow paper and write your intention related to wealth. Example:
   “I am financially secure. I attract wealth and opportunities with ease. Abundance flows freely into my life.”
2. Place a piece of citrine on top of this paper.
3. Keep it on your work desk or altar for 8 days after the portal (till 16th August).
4. On the 9th day, thank the Universe, fold the paper, and keep it in your wallet or money box. Carry the vibration of abundance with you.

🧡 Tiger’s Eye – The Lion’s Strength (Courage Protection)

Tiger’s Eye is a stone of grounding, protection, and inner strength. It resonates with Leo energy—fearless, radiant, and unafraid to step into the spotlight.

3. Breathe deeply for 8 minutes, visualizing a golden shield forming around you.
4. Repeat this for 8 consecutive nights starting on 8:8.
5. Afterward, keep tiger’s eye in your bag or pocket whenever you need courage in daily life.

Place your affirmation paper in your journal or vision board, so every time you see it, you are reminded of your inner strength.

 💕 Rose Quartz – The Heart’s Whisper (Love Relationships)

Rose quartz is the ultimate stone of love—gentle, soothing, and nurturing. It resonates with the heart chakra, opening you to love in all forms—self-love, romantic love, forgiveness, and compassion. On the Lion’s Gate, it helps heal old wounds in relationships and attract deeper, more soulful connections.

💗 How to Use Rose Quartz for Love:

1. On a pink or white paper, write an intention for love or harmony. Example:
   “I open my heart to give and receive love freely. My relationships are filled with peace, respect, and joy.”

3. Each night before sleep, hold the crystal to your heart and say aloud: “I am love. I attract love. I radiate love.”
4. After 8 days, fold the paper and keep it in a journal or memory box. The vibration of love continues to grow.

🧡Sunstone – The Career Catalyst (Career Success)

Sunstone, with its golden sparkle, is a crystal of leadership, confidence, and personal power. It clears self-doubt and brings enthusiasm—making it a perfect stone for career growth, recognition, and professional success. During Lion’s Gate, it activates your inner leader and aligns you with opportunities.

🧡 How to Use Sunstone for Career Growth:

1. On orange paper, write a career-related affirmation. Example:
   “I am confident in my skills. I attract the right opportunities and achieve success in my career with ease.”
2. Place sunstone on the paper and keep it near your laptop, study table, or work documents.
3. Each morning for 8 days, hold the sunstone in your right hand and repeat your affirmation 8 times.
4. After 8 days, keep the paper in your vision board or planner as a reminder of your professional growth.

💚Green Aventurine – The Vital Healer (Health Well-being)

Green aventurine is a stone of vitality, growth, and healing. It aligns with the heart chakra, promoting emotional balance and physical well-being. On the Lion’s Gate, it helps release stress and supports physical and emotional renewal.

💚 How to Use Green Aventurine for Health:

1. On green paper, write a health affirmation. Example:
   “I am healthy, vibrant, and full of life. My body heals naturally and restores balance with ease.”
2. Place green aventurine on a glass of water overnight. ✨ If you have a green aventurine coaster, place your water glass over it instead.
3. Keep the affirmation paper close to the water glass. Each morning, before drinking, read your affirmation aloud.
4. Then drink the water mindfully, imagining healing energy flowing into every cell of your body.
5. Continue this ritual for 8 mornings after the portal for renewal and strength.
6. After 8 days, fold the affirmation paper and keep it in your journal, altar, or a sacred space. Once you feel your intention has taken root, you may burn it safely to release the wish into the Universe.

⚫ Black Tourmaline – The Family Protector (Family Harmony)

Black tourmaline is a grounding stone that shields against negativity. It creates a safe, protective space for families, ensuring peace and harmony in the home. During the Lion’s Gate, it helps release generational fears and invites stronger family bonds.

2. Place black tourmaline at the entrance of your home on 8:8.

3.Keep it there for 17 days to protect your family energy and invite peace.

4. After 17 days, cleanse it with saltwater or moonlight and place it back again for continuous protection.

5. Keep the affirmation paper near your family photo or on your altar, so the vibration of harmony and love continues to bless your household.

🌟 Final Thought

My dear ones, during the Lion’s Gate, the Universe is ready to listen. Each crystal you choose becomes a vessel of your prayer, a magnifier of your intention. Remember, it is not the crystal alone—it is your belief, your voice, your energy that sets everything into motion.

When you combine cosmic energy + crystal power + clear intention, you open yourself to miracles.

“The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit. But trust—your garden is already growing.” 🌱

So, choose your crystal, write your intention, and let the 8:8 portal carry your dreams into reality.
