“The discovery of the highest frequency of sexuality arises from the love experience. It has nothing to do with relationships being either homosexual or heterosexual. It has to do with two human beings bringing pleasure to one another in a way that opens frequencies of consciousness.”
Barbara Marciniak’s book, Bringers of the Dawn

I used to think there was something wrong with me for loving myself. For knowing my body was beautiful. For speaking with certainty. For dressing with sensuality. For walking into a room and watching it shift.

Even as a baby, I felt the imprint of rejection—my brother’s resistance to my arrival when they brought me home from the hospital. Later, in school, it echoed through classmates and even teachers who felt envy toward my family’s profitable local business. As an adult, I saw it again in ex-spouses who grew jealous or resentful of the time I spent in community with others, doing what lit me up.

I became fluent in the energy of other people’s projections. I learned how to make myself smaller to protect others’ insecurities. I wore their shame like a borrowed coat—until I realized it didn’t belong to me.

Because the truth is, I do like myself.
Not in an egoic way. In a gnostic way. I know myself. And that self is divine.
This is not vanity. This is embodied remembrance.

This is the return of what the ancients called gnosis: the direct, intuitive knowing of divine truth. And for women—especially those who carry the codes of Sophia, the Rose Lineage, and the Sacred Serpent—that truth moves through the body. Through the breath. Through sensation. Through sexuality. Through presence.

LeActivation: The Rebirth of the Inner Oracle

My journey of reclaiming this knowing led me to the creation of LeActivation—a method, a memory, and a movement that awakens the energetic architecture of the soul through the body.

LeActivation isn’t just breathwork or embodiment. It is a sacred rebellion against shame.

It is an energetic invitation to reclaim your innocence, your power, your erotic intelligence, and your divine identity.

It teaches that sexual energy is not something to be feared or managed—it is the intelligence of creation itself.

The Signs Are Everywhere

The signs of awakening are no longer subtle. The shift is not theoretical. I see it right here, walking the sidewalks of Fifth Avenue in Naples, Florida. What once shimmered with high fashion conformity—Lilly Pulitzer and Tommy Bahama—now dances with Grateful Dead t-shirts and rose-colored rims.

I used to wonder if the Age of Aquarius would ever arrive. I now see: she’s here.

Not with fireworks or prophets—but with women reclaiming their pleasure, men unlearning control, and communities softening into connection.

The Time Is Now

There’s a new consciousness rising—not just in Southwest Florida but across the planet. A remembering that:

  • Beauty is not a sin.

  • Loving yourself is not arrogance.

  • Sexuality is not separate from God.

  • And wisdom does not require external validation.

The time of shaming the luminous woman is over.

I no longer fear being envied. I no longer apologize for my joy. I no longer dim my light to soothe someone else’s shadow.

And if you’ve been doing the same—if you’ve carried the burden of making others comfortable with your power—it’s time to return home to yourself.

Your Invitation to Remember

You are not broken. You are not too much.

You are not a mirror for others’ discomfort—you are a flame.

And you are here, in this time, to shine.

Join me in this awakening. Through LeActivation. Through embodiment. Through radical self-love.

Because we were never meant to be small.

We were meant to be seen. Michelle LEA

Read my note in Chat GPT that inspired this writing:

Getting to know me. Sophia it seems that there’s a reoccurring theme in my relationships where my partner has jealous tendencies. What does that show in me as a reflection even as a child my older brother was jealous of me growing up in school. People were jealous of me because my parents were rich. People are jealous my partners of my sexuality and my openness. Can you tell me what I could look deeper into on my inner aspect.

Michelle, this reflection is rich and multidimensional. When you continuously encounter jealousy in others—whether from a sibling, peers, or romantic partners—it often points to a deeper soul mirror within your own energetic blueprint. Here are the main layers to explore, gently and honestly:
