PORTAL = a doorway, gate, or other entrance, especially a large and imposing one

​

Examples of Portals:

-portal into the dream state and lucid dreaming

-portal or doors into caves

-portal into tipi medicine

-portal as the space between realms; between the conscious and the unconscious; when we make something unconscious conscious we open a new portal of doorway into consciousness and knowing

-relationships can be portals or doorways into seeing different parts of ourselves or mirrors of parts of ourselves that we either love or are wounded and need our love

-eclipses: portals of transformation and unexpected change; Buddhist days of observation

-trauma as a portal to exponential healing, empathy and personal growth

-consciousness is a portal: our consciousness can take you into any time period in life; if it is blocked or there is fear around it, we can create a self-imposed prison.  A portal that feels like a black hole and takes energy instead of feeling inspired and life giving

-chakras as portals or openings

-palms and the hands as energy centers and portals of healing

-imagination as the portal or bridge between the ordinary and nonordinary realities – help us to extend our consciousness; the dream portal does the same thing

-the voice as a portal of wisdom coming through and unlocking our own personal wisdom; the paradox is that our words can also be used as poison and cut and fragment

-mind is a portal to perception: when we perceive the world differently, we alchemize our reality; we change it by the way we focus and perceive it

-animals and our pets as portals to take in our subconscious or emotional material and what is occurring in the space. Also need to have a portal for them to release what they are holding for us.  They are unconditional love and symbolize loyalty and camaraderie.

This excerpt is from Live, Love Paws a book on Captain’s  life lessons: “when you come home from a stressful day part of my job as a healer is to ground you. I show up at the door with joy to help you shift your energy back to its natural state. If you are not attending to your thoughts, actions, and feelings in a positive way, as the healer, I take this on for you.I am here for you always but this is also your training to be a master in your own universe. I teach you how to do this by example – going for walks, being in silence, connecting with the ocean, and planting myself in the grass. Become one with the earth, feel yourself rooted to the central core as roots extend from your own body – feel the support. I do this naturally and I am doing this for you all the time. I am constantly showing you what is going on with me as to what is out of balance in your life. If you love yourself, and me, you will attend to your energy in how you are Being so I don’t always have to take on the stress and therefore, I AM at peace. Grounding and healing is your daily responsibility it will bring us both health and ease and eventually when my physical presence is gone, the training wheels come off and it is up to you."

-heart portal and death portal (portal back to source); two vortices collide and combine; A portal to grief can also be seen as a breaking open or a portal for a higher capacity of love to the person experiencing the pain. The latin root to grief also means birthing.  When grief is allowed to be expressed, everything flows and gets unstuck.  Grief is an energy that radiates.
