Mythic Physique Path_of_the

I sincerely believe that much greater success will be attained in my personal life, as well as in the Elysium Project if I better embody and express the noble character traits represented by my royal totem.

Using Gareth Patterson's To Walk With Lions as my guide, I will be spending a week exploring each of the seven leonine qualities and applying it to my Quest here in Mythic Physique.

The journey begins during the reign of Leo in 2017's Zodiac cycle, while the Celestial Gate of the Lion transmits its energies to our sphere.

Week One: 7/22/17 - 7/29/17: DETERMINATION

I started re-reading the book to establish a firm foundation of activity, then re-familiarized myself with the meditations. I then chose to proceed with leonine Determination, which was exemplified by the lionesses Rafiki and Furaha. I integrated the relaxation, release, light and Determination meditations into my daily routine. My Determination is firmly set with succeeding in my personal Quest for Optimal Wellness as chronicled here in Mythic Physique.

Week Two: 7/30/17 - 8/5/17: WILLINGNESS TO CARE

I strengthened my Willingness to Care by meditating upon the tales of the lions Tau, Ngala and Kula (plus the caring actions of a nameless zebra tribe).

Week Three: 8/6/17 - 8/12/17: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE/AFFECTION

I study the tales of Growe and Batian and reinforce my belief that we are mysteriously connected through the power of love. We can communicate telepathically with our loved ones from a distance and death is a barrier that can be penetrated by love.

Week Four: 8/13/17 - 8/19/17: COURAGE

Batian demonstrated leonine courage throughout his entire life and in this chapter numerous examples are given. This lion embodied and expressed courage and serves as a worthy teacher in my meditations. He grew by meeting challenges, even those where he did not triumph.

Week Five: 8/20/17 - 8/26/17: LOYALTY

Sheba, Furaha, Batian, Rafiki and the lion in the ancient tale about Androcles demonstrate the power of leonine loyalty and inspire me to demonstrate the same quality in all my interpersonal interactions.

Week Six: 8/27/17 - 9/2/17: SELF-RELIANCE

A life fully lived with a calm dignity and a courageous spirit - this was the way of Darky, a Lord among Lions. Despite the many challenges he faced he embodied and expressed Self-Reliance. He managed to live a very long time.

Week Seven: 9/3/17 - 9/9/17: FELLOWSHIP

We are all communal beings. We need each other and thrive when we can rely on one another. That is the lesson of Leo the lion and his soul connection with his loved ones, both leonine and human.

Thus concludes my 2017 journey with To Walk With Lions (my second round thus far). Although I do not plan on revisiting this book again until late 2018, I continue to tread the Path of the Lion. To walk with me, please click on the link in the Menu to the left.
