Soul Sessions: The Death Portal: Regeneration, Expansion, and Shifting Consciousness

Hello beloved souls, I’m Amanda Rieger Green. If you’ve found yourself in this liminal space between what was and will be, know that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. The Death Portal isn’t about physical dying – it’s the sacred alchemy of transformation that occurs when we surrender to life’s most profound transitions.

In this expansive exploration & podcast episode, I’ll share:

  • My personal journey through multiple Death Portals – from childhood mediumship experiences to profound personal losses
  • The spiritual science behind why these transitions feel so turbulent
  • Practical tools I’ve developed over decades of spiritual practice and hospice work
  • How to recognize when you’re in a Death Portal and navigate it with grace

1: Understanding the Death Portal

The Spiritual Anatomy of Transformation

The Death Portal appears in every wisdom tradition:

  • Egyptian: The weighing of the heart ceremony in the Duat
  • Buddhist: The Bardo states between death and rebirth
  • Christian: The dark night of the soul
  • Shamanic: The dismemberment journey

In my work, I’ve identified three distinct phases:

  1. The Dissolution
    • Old structures crumble
    • Familiar identities fade
    • Physical symptoms often appear (fatigue, vivid dreams, body aches)
  2. The Void
    • The terrifying/wondrous space between stories
    • Where most people panic and try to “fix” things
    • The most fertile ground for transformation
  3. Rebirth
    • New neural pathways form
    • Fresh energy emerges
    • A more authentic version of yourself steps forward

Personal Story: When my mother transitioned, I spent 11 days in the Void phase – unable to sleep, eat, or think clearly. Then, on the 12th day, I channeled my first complete spiritual teaching.

2: Navigating the Storm

Your Spiritual First Aid Kit

1. Breath as Anchor
The 4-7-9 Practice:

  • Inhale for 4 counts (through nose)
  • Hold for 7
  • Exhale for 9 (through mouth)
  • Repeat 5 cycles

2. Dream Incubation
Before sleep, ask: “What do I most need to understand about this transition?” Keep a journal by your bed.

3. Elemental Clearing

  • Water: Epsom salt baths
  • Fire: Candle gazing meditation
  • Earth: Barefoot grounding
  • Air: Breathwork with open windows

4. Sacred Ritual
Create a simple altar with:

  • A black candle (for releasing)
  • A white candle (for receiving)
  • A small bowl of water (for emotional flow)
  • A stone (for grounding)

3: The Gifts in the Darkness

In my hospice work, I witnessed countless souls discover these profound truths in their final transitions:

1. The Illusion of Control
We think we’re driving the bus until life reminds us we’re passengers on a sacred journey.

2. The Currency of Love
Every dying person I’ve sat with has measured their life in love given/received – nothing else.

3. The Eternal Nature of Consciousness
Those nearing transition often begin seeing deceased loved ones weeks before passing.

4: Your Death Portal Toolkit

When You’re in the Thick of It:

  • Morning Practice: 5 minutes of silent sitting before checking devices
  • Daily Anchors: 3 conscious breaths before meals
  • Evening Release: Write down one thing to surrender, then burn or bury it

When Supporting Others:

  • The Power of Presence: Often, just sitting quietly is more powerful than advice
  • Helpful Phrases:
    • “This is hard, and you’re not alone”
    • “What does your heart need most right now?”
    • “Let’s breathe through this together”

5: Emerging Transformed

Signs you’re moving through your Death Portal:

  • Synchronicities increase
  • Old wounds finally make sense
  • You feel drawn to simplify your life
  • Food preferences change
  • New creative impulses emerge

Remember: The Death Portal isn’t something you survive – it’s something you surrender to. Like a caterpillar in the chrysalis, what feels like disintegration is actually metamorphosis.

A Personal Invitation

Beloved, if you’re in the midst of your own Death Portal, know that I see you. This path is sacred, even when it feels unbearable.

Three Truths to Carry With You:

  1. No transformation happens without some degree of discomfort
  2. Your future self is already holding space for who you’re becoming
  3. This too shall pass – and leave you wiser

For deeper support, follow Soul Sessions Podcast and community. Together, we’ll walk this path with courage and compassion.

Final Blessing:

Final Blessing:
May you trust the intelligence of your unfolding.
Allow you to find grace in the unraveling.
May you discover the gifts hidden in this sacred transition.

With love,
