What is the Awakening of the Guardians?

The Awakening of the Guardians is a moment of connection, with ourselves, with the place we are awakening and with the group.

In each Awakening of the Guardians we are invited to work on aspects brought by the place itself.

The Azores are made up of 9 islands, from where I see the representation of 9 energy points. The first navigators to reach these islands left a strong mark of Marian devotion, from where they rose and evoked angelic energies and also Saints as the baptismal name of some of the islands.

Santa Maria, was the first island to be discovered, thus representing the Crown of Portugal linked to its Marian devotion. The island of São Miguel, whose blue ray and sword take us back to the opening of the 3rd vision. Following the order of discoveries, we find Terceira Island, from where the trinity opens to the expression of the voice. Now we head to Graciosa, from where our heart expands. Then we find a central sword that evokes the wisdom of São Jorge (Saint Jorge) and the manifestation of the solar plexus, facing Pico Island, the highest point in Portuguese territory, representing the Sacrum and also the dragon. The island of Faial, linked to the beeches, represents the root. Flores Island, with all its waterfalls, refers to the knees and our ancestry. And finally, Corvo, representing the feet, inviting all mental energy to materialize on Earth.

The Awakening of the Guardians of São Miguel Island: What is the intention?

By understanding the energy of São Miguel as the center of vision, we will be able to immediately identify that our external vision is composed of two physical eyes, and our internal vision by a crystal eye (3rd eye). From here we can also divide this aspect, recognizing the female and male vision, linked to each of the parts of our body.

Whenever these concepts are in duality in us, it will be complex to create the trinity of that same aspect. Thus, the invitation is to be able to work on the vision linked to female energy and then linked to male energy, balancing the elements of water and fire, to open the alchemy necessary for the awakening of the crystal vision, thus unifying aspects that may seem different, because they meet separated.

One of the purposes will be to make this balance of elements, recognizing that nothing is totally closed and hermetic. It is an invitation to recognize each duality that may inhabit you, and bring these elements to a place of consciousness, from where we can find the center, generating the strength to recognize the central axis of each person, delivering the power of the sword to each one again.

For this awakening, we will have the energetic support of some of the island's guardians, such as cetaceans, birds and plants.

Azores, in the beginning of its occupation, received influences from the Franciscans, which by stripping of from material goods became monks connected to nature and all vegetal and animal elements in a very symbolic and deep way. It´s curious that they represent the feminine aspect. Later, São Miguel Island starts receiving Jesuits, the masters of knowledge, from when some conflict starts to emerge as they represent the masculine energy, creating a separation between the orders whose intuitive vs scientific wisdom contains and equal mystical knowledge connected to sacred geometry, biblical codes, star symbology and so many more.
