Transform Your Life From Higher Consciousness: Sedona Stargate
We're travelling in the Sedona Stargate again - a phenomenal planetary energy centre. It's at another bellwether moment in the Shift, with higher transformative light streaming in. You can join us, right from where you are, by tuning into this daily journal. We'll be sharing key insights, photos, commentary and videos about how we can transform our lives from higher consciousness in these highly alchemical times.
Tune in with us...
Sedona Stargate
The Sedona Stargate is a very special energy centre on the planet. It's been a site of spiritual pilgrimage right back to the First Nations - and they are still very much in the ether now. It's know as the "Red Rock County" due to the stupendous cathedrals of rock, that can harness infusing energy of the New Paradigm.

Let's be clear: We're at a poignant moment of human history, where the suppression, karmic trauma and constrictions of the old consciousness construct are beginning to break down. We're moving into a reality split, a 3D/5D hybrid state exists right now. And we need to be sure we're coming from the higher consciousness.

That's why we'll be working with the profound energies of this area all week; plus tuning in with the First Nations and Star Nations in the ether. It'll be a phenomenal convergence, which you can tune into wherever you happen to be on the planet.
Gain leading-edge spiritual insights into the Great 5D Shift...
Infusing Higher Consciousness
So all this week, we'll be harnessing the energies of the Sedona Stargate and transmitting them through our sharings here on Openhandweb.

The Shift is not necessarily about making one giant leap. It's about: going through constant iterations of being; progressively stripping off the old karmic layers; attuning the new frequencies of soul wanting to now come through; and, reactivating the buried DNA of the ancient Lemurian in us.
In effect, what we're undertaking is the regeneration of the Flower of Life, both for ourselves and the planet.
So do tune in with us, as you can, all this week and benefit from the infusions of light we'll be transmitting. And to get things moving, sit back, breathe, feel deep within, and be inspired by our video, shot here on retreat in Sedona last year...
Where Are You In The Shift Right Now?
We very much look forwards to having you join in.
Do share a snapshot of your own process of transformation right now - I'll gladly offer a supportive reflection.

Transform From Higher Consciousness: Your Anchor ⚓️

15/09/2026 Sedona Journal: Your Anchor
Our guests have all arrived here at our marvellous retreat centre, in one of the key locations that I know to be the Sedona Stargate - on one of the points, in a humble (under-the-radar) place called Cottonwood. There's 12 of us, and right from the start, there's a wonderful connection amongst the group - we got right down to exploring the nature of what the event is about.
It's abundantly clear: everyone is amidst powerful changes in the physical circumstances of their lives. No surprise, that's because the tectonic nature of our reality construct is cracking open and transforming strongly.
So how to approach these strong infusions of cosmic energy and the impact that's having on the planet?
The Sacred Ground of Being
The first part is to find your anchor in the storm. However, to be clear, this is not some rigid, fixed and closed-down kind of place. The anchor I'm speaking of is our Sacred Ground of Being, which is at the core of one's inner Torus - where the chakras connect into the singularity.

If you've been involved with Openhand for some time, or following the work, you'll know all about this. However, to be clear, no matter how practised and travelled you are, no matter how much inner work, connecting into this anchor is a constantly required practice, because the felt sense of it keeps shifting and deepening as you deepen the inner work.
You're dropping through the identity layers and into the space that can truly harness these higher consciousness infusions.
Connecting to Your Felt Sense

Every single day must begin this way, if we are to be successful in the Shift:
10-15 minutes of: breathing; feeling into the body; dropping back from any idea of routines or what the day is likely to bring. Instead, deepen progressively into the felt sense of you - get a clear feeling of what that's like, and work to anchor at least some aspect of your consciousness in that. It also helps to have some kind of reminder - a picture, a post it note, or some physical gift that the Universe provides. When you reflect on it during the day, if you're losing the Sacred Ground, then reflect on this reminder for a few moments and breathe yourself back into your deep inner felt sense.
It's a simple approach - but if done diligently, it sets you up for the day to receive in higher consciousness, and is utterly priceless.

For all those tuning in, today, I invite you to keep tuning into the felt sense of your Sacred Ground of Being - whether you get into triggering, stress, busyness or intensity. Keep working to drop into this place.
For a deeper understanding: Here's Openhand's lead article on the Sacred Ground of Being
Do let me know how you get on with it.

Joy's Ascension Kitchen in Sedona: Awesome! 🤩🥗😋

When the Sedona gathering was being set up this year we couldn't find a suitable chef. So the bright spark triggered (after one of her posts), to fly Joy's Ascension kitchen in and have Joy do it.
I can say it took some serious courage on her part to take it on - she's never previously visited the US!!
Can you imagine just buying in all the food locally?! (Kim stepped in there with some essential knowledge 💖).
And here's Joy's first meal - a cashew-sauced pasta with salad, followed by a blueberry mousse - which were to die for!

And there Joy is, looking calm and masterful. She's a shining example of exactly what Openhand has been putting forward in the Shift - new opportunities are there for us all, if we have the werewithall to spot them, and the courage to step into them!
Give a great shout-out to Joy - woohoo! 🥳

Notice what happens AFTER your meditation 🧘🤔
In reply to Transform From Higher Consciousness: Your Anchor ⚓️ by Open

Have you paid attention to what happens immediately after your meditation?
What do I mean?
There's a strong tendency to decide "I'm going to meditate for such and such period of time." Let's say it's a good meditation, you feel expanded, peaceful, deep and connected. But then what happens immediately after when you get into the daily experiences?
There's a point of shift, from the meditation, and into your daily life, which is CRUCIAL to pay attention to: Can I now bring this energy of the meditation into the first moments thereafter.
You're heading to the shower, for a morning coffee, or rushing off to work - but take the first few moments after the meditation slowly, and work to ground the sense of the Sacred Ground through your being as you take your initial steps.
This is going to help you anchor in your Sacred Ground as you move into your life.

14/09/2026 Sedona Journal: Greetings
Greetings Openhanders - I invite you all to tune in and join us as we pilgrimage through the stunning Sedona Stargate all this week. It's going to be about helping make sense of where the planetary Shift is at right now, how it's impacting society and our individual lives. How are you being invited to adapt and evolve as the world terraforms strongly?
The energy here yesterday was simply off the charts!...

Where's Your Life At Right Now?
That's the key for Openhand about our spirituality: we can have incredible experiences of peace, well-being, and deep multidimensionality, but unless we can see the effect of it, and apply it, to our daily lives with uplifting benefit, then our spirituality is neither grounded nor effective.
So today, as the group arrives in from all over, I invite you to pause (if you can, out in nature), breathe, be internal and invite a deep contemplation of where your life is at right now, and what maybe is needing to change.
When you feel what's coming up, do share it with me in this journal below - I'll gladly offer a supportive reflection.
Good to have you on board!

Star Nations & Sedona Stargate Podcast Review 📽️

Some while back I was interviewed by Gareth of Endless Possibilities Podcast, which included an insight into the Sedona Stargate.
Here it is. When you have time, I suggest you review it, because it will help build an energetic sense of what these Stargates are all about, and how important they are...

Continual life changes right now.

Hi Open,
Well, I've been busy... removing the last of the toxic people from my life, who have no desire to wake up and only wanted to create very draining, endless drama. I'm so NOT into that. So now that I've removed the last toxic person, I feel noticeably much freer, lighter and more focused. I've been spending time celebrating the sunlight, the plants all around here, and have been drawn to daily inhale deeply into my favorite lovely Pacific Northwest Cedar tree in my yard. I grab a handful of its scented soft greenery and rub it on my face and inhale deeply and give it lots of love and I feel it's giving me love back. It makes me feel downright giddy with joy! We finally got some heavy rains that were much needed and I was even very excited about that.
Even with so many planetary things happening, I just feel at peace with all of it. I'm into deep breathing, quiet meditation, joyful movement and I got a mini trampoline with a handle on it for good balance, so I can bounce and get better movement and exercise. I'm thinking of setting it up in the driveway to bounce out in the bright sunlight.
I've been thinking of some new creative things to do, came up with titles and song lyrics, then talked with a local woman who publishes books for people. She says she knows nothing about music, but I'm not writing music, I'm writing just the titles and lyrics that a musical artist would put the music to. She seemed to have no grasp of what I was telling her at all but that's ok, there's more than one doorway to achieving new things. One thing that has been popping into my thoughts a lot lately, like daily really, and I mean all the time! is the term Rapture of the Deep. I'm letting it incubate because I feel it's very important in a way I've not been shown yet. I feel it involves much purple. It feels profound to me though. I'm also seeing 222 and 11:11 a lot too.
I had let my small greenhouse get very weedy and overgrown, and was going to leave it abandoned and dried out, but last week I suddenly felt very strongly moved to get it all weeded out and then refill it with new potting mix that's I've got bags of sitting in the garage, and get it planted with cool weather Fall crops. Within a couple of days I was working on that and it took 2 hours with help from my weedeater guy to get the greenhouse totally weed-free. It makes me feel very giddy too! I bought some new organic seeds and have been prepping the raised beds to get them planted. It's wild how I think one thing and then suddenly a huge motivation just grabs me out of nowhere to where I can't ignore it... so I've been following along with that. It really fills me with excitement. I'm going to see if Cucumbers will still grow this late in the season and I got lettuce blend seeds, a rainbow variety of beets, and carrot seeds. Going to grow some herbs in there too. I even have some purple potatoes that were overlooked in the raised bed last year and are coming up, even though it's been dry as the desert in there.
And...my wild, wacky sense of humor is off the charts, far more than it's ever been so I just let it flow as it wants to. I guess people need it more than ever because they laugh and light up. I'm sure you will feel the higher vibrations coming off me like a volcano ready to erupt. That's a good way to describe how I feel. I think Giddy is my new feeling lately. lol
I'll be tuning in for Sedona stargate week. I'd like any reflections if you have any, especially the Rapture of the Deep.
Much love, 🙏

Hi Open,
Its been a rough road. What I've drawn to myself is very challenging and brings up so much rage and powerlessness. But yesterday I was made to realize even more profoundly that not only did I ask for it, albeit in an unconscious drug-addled time, but that part of me is still aligned with it. That was a gut-punching, heart-wrenching moment to realise that. But as hard as it is, I do remember where it comes from and that I have the choice not to go along with it. I also have a feeling I have created this from past lives. I have always been too enabling and appeasing of stronger personalities,thinking that doing that the problem will just go away. Afraid to say no because of violent backlash. Well now I ask myself what's better,being attacked or being in a prison where I carry monkeys on my back, barely able to walk and no privacy. Having to fight just to Chakra tone or eat healthy food. Having my choices derailed at every turn.
I'm worried soul can't get through but there are moments where the outer reflects to me a reminder of my truer self. A flock of Canada geese flying right over my window, and then again a week later flying right over me as I wait for a bus. They invoke such a deep comforting connection with nature. I have much work yet to do here but my hope is to follow them out to the country.
I have been finding solace in Chakra toning, and checking in with chakras a couple times a day. Also finally getting through 5Gateways and feeling I'm finally ready to hear what it has to say. Also being pleasantly surprised by it; I hadn't expected it to have so much information that was relatable. It almost feels like reading it is changing me somehow. It makes me feel anticipation for what's to come, though I see how attached to many things I still am. It feels like the child is readying to take the steps to leave the illusionary safety of the familiar yet dysfunctional nest, and courageously step into the unknown. Here's hoping! I just need to shed the things keeping me from the whispers of my soul, because without soul there's no pilot.
I remind myself that everything is to remember and reunite with soul, and that the more I commit the closer I'll get. Nothing stays the same so let's come out of this clearer, calmer and wiser, and ready to embark on a journey.
Thank you Open, for your unswerving commitment to helping us find our way. Enjoy Sedona!
Respect and appreciation, barb
Confronting the hidden 'cost' of karma ⛓️💥

Hi Barb,
This stood out strongly in your sharing, as a key karmic trigger to work with...
I have always been too enabling and appeasing of stronger personalities, thinking that doing that the problem will just go away. Afraid to say no because of violent backlash.
That's the point about karma - there's always some perceived cost that stops people going right into the heart of it, and exploding the myth that it ultimately is - when you dare to confront the cost, and say, 'bring it on', that's when we equalise with it, whereupon the soul integrates through that experience and the karma falls away.
So I encourage you to work with this.
For all tuning in, here's the Openhand Approach to dealing with karmic density:
Developing Your Daily Practice for Processing Karma & Density
Well wishes
