The Four Portals

Introduction to The Four Portals

The Rainbow Wheel is grounded in timeless methods for spiritual practice, like meditation and visualization, and also offers a self-guided process called a “Map for Conscious Soul Evolution.” This map moves you through the four “Portals” of the Rainbow Wheel:


Author Jo Elise Friedman, Ph.D., created this map based on her direct experiences with the cosmic light of the whirling rainbow wheel. She says:

“My story began one quiet, summer evening of my youth when I had an ecstatic experience of the pulsating radiance and beauty of the rainbow wheel of lights, a wheel of spiritual gifts. Shaped by time, life’s experiences, direct encounters with the light of Spirit, my studies, and my spiritual mentoring work, I have come to understand that our spiritual gifts are entryways for awakening and for conscious soul evolution. As you come to Be your spiritual gift, you find your pathway to your divine self. This is truly a celebration of light and life, a celebration of soul.”

Maps illustrate pathways for many types of journeys, and they can come to us in many different forms. The four portals or gateways of the Rainbow Wheel Map for Conscious Soul Evolution can assist you in consciously unfolding your soul's evolution. The portals comprise a way of launching yourself farther along your pathway of coming to be the deep, divine you.
