Transform Your Life From Higher Consciousness: Sedona Stargate

Submitted by Open on

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.

Sedona 25 - Yavapai Vista

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.

Bright blessings

18/09/2026 Sedona Journal: Star Nation Connections

Yesterday was a phenomenal day travelling out in the Sedona Stargate - especially following all that amazing opening and clearing work that's gone on here in the field. It was about connecting the Star Nations with the First Nations - renewing the ancient bond, so as to amplify the Shift dynamic. We were bridging into the heavens. It's something I encourage all in the community to explore, because it's a real game-changer in our lives.

It begins with the Openhand ritual of "getting your game faces on"....

Sedona 26: Game Faces (Tara)

Yes, it's a humorous start, but it has an important purpose - it prepares the consciousness for getting out of the ordinary and into the dreamstate, where you're appreciating the wider possibility of the quantum field.

Our first stop on one key convergence point of the Stargate is called Montezuma's Well - although I doubt very much whether the First Nations that lived here called it that!! It's a magnificent well that sustained the First Nations from far and wide...

Sedona 26: Montezumas Well | Openhand

we honoured the connection and worked to open the Torus of the space with the powerful singing chakras meditation...

Sedona 26: Singing Chakras | Openhand

Last year, our Community Coordinator Tilly, had painted stones with the names of all the First Nations chiefs and we'd cast them into the stream. The Chiefs brought the energy of resilience, resourcefulness, and courageous stoicism, all great qualities we'll each need to embody in the Shift going forward...

Sedona 26: Celebrating the Chiefs | Openhand

At another key location in the Stargate, we find the perfect place to call in the Star Nations and form the bridge with the First Nations...

Sedona 26: Calling in Star Nations | Openhand

It may seem like a curious place for the Buddha, but there's a connection back to Lemurian times where the 5 Nations were seeded, and Tibetan Buddhism became one expression of the original Star Nation mysticism - we're going back to our Lemurian roots...

Sedona 26: Ohm | Openhand

It's all about riding the wave of the Shift!...

Sedona 26: Riding the Wave | Openhand

And after a long, but thoroughly rewarding day, the Rainbow Tribe is rewarded with the most rejuvenating juices...

Sedona 26: Rainbow Tribe | Openhand

It feels like a powerful bridge of connection has been re-established here. I can't tell you how magical and uplifting that feels.

In due course, I'll share how each can best benefit from the Star Nation connections - how the resonance of their energies can uplift and transform our lives. After all, as I explain in AVALONIA, the Star Nations' purpose, right back at the seeding of the Lemurians, was to incorporate droplets of their DNA, to connect humanity to multidimensional divinity, and the Galactic Family of Light. The time has come to renew that ancient heritage.

Bright blessings to all.

Hi Open,

I don't know if this is relevant to your explorations in Sedona. Since end of last week I've observed all sorts of people becoming highly emotional very quickly. Feels like a storm raging indeed. Meantime I'm observing it all and feeling the storm empathically.

It feels like a veil has been lifted which had a suppressive effect, keeping people a little more docile. Now the emotional stuff has the space to come out many are feeling overwhelmed with emotional triggers. I might add this is not the case at home but in many other situations, a daily emotional explosion. Also triggering karma underneath that.

So it feels like a positive affect, though turbulent for the moment - feels like a direct affect of the lifting of the Saturn suppression.

Much love

Rich

Hi Rich,

Yes, that makes absolute sense. As the electromagnetic suppression becomes more open, and unravels over time, that's going to bring up all manner of repressed toxic emotions. People will need support processing and releasing this. It's a key part of what we've been undertaking here...

17/09/2026 Sedona Journal

Yesterday the Sedona group went into deep karmic processing. With all the massive tectonic movements around the planet in recent times, and the Saturn connection revealed, it was bound to be deeply alchemical. It certainly was!

It began gentle enough, exploring the nature of karma and the situations that are arising on the planet and in people's lives right now...

Sedona 26: Studio Processing | Openhand

A couple of the group were expressing deep connections with Gaia; meanwhile, it became abundantly clear that a presence from Saturn was there, taking deep interest in the work. A short while in, I began to experience an intense pain in my abdomen. Higher knowing made it clear: this was Gaia's karma with the Saturn Suppression - the contract she had with it, so as to restrain her energetic exuberance (that which causes explosions and mass extinctions).

Sedona 26: Karmic Regression | Openhand

There was deep regret expressed, shame and guilt even, that this Saturn intervention had gone on to cause such controlling suppression on the planet - just look how much of humanity is suffering right now - the children in Palestine, for example. This soul contract was deeply felt and expressed through the group.

Sedona 26: Dalton internalising | Openhand

Once we'd journeyed through the multidimensional field and revealed the past connections of Gaia with Saturn, and exposed the disharmony and injustice in the control system, there was a massive release, directly experienced as a rip-roaring lightening storm, right above our centre, and out across the surrounding area.

The skies tore open over Sedona...

Lightening over Sedona

Let's be clear: the Saturn Suppression in the solar system is electromagnetic. Call that into question with the perpetrators, show them the entry their making in the Akashic Record for all in the cosmic to see, and they start to release the control pretty quickly - they've been exposed. Hence, the opening of the skies.

The thunder roared, the lightening lit up the sky around us, and torrential rain came down...

Sedona 26: The Heavens Open | Openhand

It was immensely opening and cleansing - the whole nature of the field opened up. The energies of liberation unleashed through the group as we danced exuberantly back in the studio...

Sedona 26: Releasing Karma | Openhand

Finally, as always, Joy is on hand to feed the lightworker army!

Sedona 26: Joy's sustainance | Openhand

It's deeply profound what's taking place here. Yet another major movement in the planetary field, at yet another pivotal juncture.

Bright blessings to all tuning in.

Just around 10 years ago I gave this seminar in the heart chakra of the planet, Glastonbury. It's about how Gaia also soul-contracted the Matrix we're living in - where it came from, and how it's being resolved.

The only real thing that's changed since then is the timing - the window of the Ascension is closing, due to the intense unravelling of the solar system suppression (from Saturn). And also that Gaia has already extracted out into the 4D, as she was replaced with a new planetary soul, Avalonia, so as to enable the planet to actually go with the Shift as the energies on the planet now intensify.

Gaia's soul contract with the Intervention is seldom, if ever, spoken of in the spiritual mainstream. And yet it explains exactly why there's so much disharmony, imbalance and suppression that's been anchored in place here. Understanding this, provides key impetus to extract and ascend out...

Right at the conclusion of our regression journey yesterday, having explored Gaia's karma with the Saturn solar system intervention, as we were sitting there, that's when the first lightning strike struck, with literally the sense of tearing open the heavens - tearing open the suppression. It unleashed a torrential deluge across Arizona...

Heavy rain raises flash-flood risk across Arizona burn scars, slot canyons and saturated ground

This is the power of regressing into, and unravelling, karmic source pain - it's exactly why it's so essential in the Shift.

I can't tell you how cleansing it all felt.

16/09/2026 Sedona Journal: Art of Processing

Affirmations generally do not work!!!

Why?

Because simply trying to overwrite buried inner density with positive thinking just creates a self-defeating polarity: 1) The cracks that still exist underneath; 2) The new layers of identity you plaster on top. It may seem to work for a while, due to the initial positive air. But ultimately, the energy of the unresolved karmic density continue to create - your manifestations are less likely to complete as they could, and will definitely, ultimately fail. Most importantly, you're now creating a false self identity - especially, and including, the spiritual identity: "I am abundant" (but you don't really feel that underneath).

So what's the real solution?

You have to activate and get into the density, express it and become intimate with it, so that you equalise with it. You're confronting the unseen, painbody 'cage' that languishes in the inner karmic layers...

Sedona Journal 26: Confronting the Inner Prison | Openhand

By really feeling into that and honouring it by expressing it, then you start to equalise with the density - you bring it into the light...

Sedona Journal 26: Through the Eye of the Needle | Openhand

At that point, you're equalising with the layers by passing through the eye of the needle...

Sedona Journal 26: Agnes Anchoring | Openhand

This is where real magic starts to happen, because at this point, you're now digging up the buried nuggets of soul gold that were trapped in the density layers. It starts to feel like emergence and freedom...

Sedona Journal 26: Dalton, Feeling into it | Openhand

What happens next is truly profound - the nuggets of soul gold fully integrate in your being; you discover lost aspects of yourself; it feels like coming home and actualising your True Self - which is simply magical...

Sedona 26: Good Vibes Coming Through | Openhand

And finally, that's when true abundance appears. Because your being becomes magnetic - you simply draw abundant experience to you from the quantum field...

Sedona 26: Abundance! | Openhand

This is just the first day here, but the depth and level of Breakthrough is simply off the charts - like a whole retreat in one day!

It's certainly the sign of the times - people who are really doing the inner shadow work are feeling the movement of the energy field of the Shift, which is strongly accelerating now.

And once you break through in this way, then you feel like you're riding an unstoppable wave! 🌊

PS Breakthrough: This process we're applying here in Sedona (and widely through the Openhand work) is described with direct application to everyday life in the Openhand Book Breakthrough. It is perfectly crafted to help people ride the gathering tides of the Shift, and to unleash their immaculate multidimensionality.

Hi Open,

This relates to a trigger I went through the other day. I faced the pain but soon felt to keep telling my (child) self that it wasn't her fault. It felt important to tell myself that but was I only papering over the moment with a sort of affirmation? Trying to fix it rather than feel it? I keep ending it before I break through or the energy fades before anything shifts. I just feel like I'm not doing it right...

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.

Sedona Stargate: Opening Portals by Openhand

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

Agnes in the Sedona Stargate

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.

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! 🥳

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!...

Sedona 2026: Red Rock Greeting | Openhand

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!

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, 🙏

Sherri

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

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
