Through Death's Doorway

One of my biggest passions is assisting soul's from our world to the next.  I find my work as psychopomp one of the most rewarding!  

I'm not so good seeing people out (the actual death transition, I leave to the angels of hospice!) but I am often called on to help soul's make their journey clearly to the other side.  

I am a soul conductor.  Helping people make their way from the land of the living to the blissful land of Spirit.  I assist in making their journey to the afterlife.  The Egyptians had intricate prayers and rituals, yet our society simply offers condolences and elaborate funerary rites that often do not serve the soul at any level.   



I received this question today and thought it worth sharing:

"Hi Andye, 

I had a old friend that just passed.....I think he stopped by to say bye.  Is it to early to tell?"


--- "Not at all!  Within 3 days of passing, he's making his rounds.  Up until the funeral it's perfectly normal for him to visit and say howdy to friends and loved ones.  After the funeral, 6 weeks of quiet is needed for the soul to transition to the other side."




I shared some of these teachings when my cousin Gale passed.  He taught us much about Dying with Grace and I am happy to carry on his wisdom.


Death is a welcome and beautiful gift. To regard it with fear and distrust only harms the soul.  Please talk to your loved ones about this transition so we can lift the current consciousness that permeates our society!

Dying with Grace

Death has a funny way of freaking us the eff out.  It was never intended to be met with such fear.

I once facilitated a conversation for a family whose matriarch had just passed away.    The daughter sitting before me asked her mother what death had felt like.  Mama (on the other side) responded that it felt like an orgasm.  If you can give into the joy and let yourself relax, the return to God/Source is triumphant!  Probably not the message her family expected, but it brought me such clarity and delight I try to always share her perspective.

Jesus also taught us much about how to die with grace.  Though His legacy may sound frightening, He walked his path with courage, grace and certainty.  Fear was not a part of His journey, nor should it be a part of ours.  Death is a portal, afterall!  A gateway to our return to God.  And this return should be celebrated, even heralded, not fraught with fear and unease. 

When death can be embraced, it's magical.  A perfect bow on the finely wrapped gift of life.  When fear and regret seep in, death is ugly, prolonged trying and tedious.  The infamous death scene in Dark Crystal is an ideal example of how death can be greeted! the Skeksis holding onto greed and power wither in anguish and crumble into a pile of dust while the Mystics, a spiritual and peaceful race, dies with a smile and his body turns to light.

The wisest of us knows when to step back and rest in the arms of the Divine. 


To help those we love die with grace, we can:

- talk with them and create a safe space for sharing whatever they may need, allow a place to air regrets and make amends
- hold them in unconditional love and joy
- allow forgiveness (of self and others)
- talk about death and what they can expect
- give them permission to let go
- remind them of the friends and family they can soon reconnect with



Spirit has asked me to talk as much as I can about dying with grace.  How to greet it, how to embrace it and how to celebrate it.  I've done several presentations around Denver on the topic and love sharing my shamanic perspective on death and dying.  If I can share this with a group you love, please give me a holla!
