Pain-free afterlife, and how to manage pain during a heart attack with Peter Panagore

Who is Peter Panagore?

Peter Panagore is a well-known spiritual counsellor, storyteller, and two-time near-death experiencer whose profound experiences and resulting wisdom have touched many lives.

At age 21, he had a life-hanging near-death experience (NDE) while ice climbing in the Canadian Rockies, which transformed his understanding of self, life, death, and spirituality.

This powerful encounter with the Divine and others led him to dedicate his life to sharing the message of Love, Light, and the eternal nature of the Soul.

Peter is an acclaimed author known for his international Audible bestseller Heaven Is Beautiful: How Dying Taught Me That Death Is Just the Beginning.

After earning a BA in English Literature from the University of Massachusetts and experiencing his first NDE, he shifted his focus to Mysticism at Yale University, where he obtained his Master of Divinity.

Peter served progressive coastal New England Congregational churches for two decades, during which he concealed his first NDE while helping those in greatest need in his community. Later, during his 15-year career as a television writer and on-air personality for his morning inspirational segment, he reached 30 million viewers annually (Nielsen Ratings) on two NBC-TV News Stations across Maine.

His other best-selling inspirational book, Two Minutes for God: Quick Fixes for the Spirit, is a selection from his 1700 TV scripts.

Peter has practiced Centering Prayer, meditation, and Kriya Yoga for forty years. He is a gifted speaker, storyteller, author, and compassionate spiritual guide for thousands. A gifted counsellor with forty years of practice, he offers one-on-one sessions helping individuals process their new self-understanding, psychological, emotional, relational, and spiritual, following their awakening or NDEs, connecting with a deeper meaning and purpose. Peter's approach is deep, active listening, intuitive, and reflective, drawing on his many mystical experiences and decades as a counsellor to offer insight, comfort, and spiritual growth.

One client remarked, "My session with Peter was transformative. His ability to connect with the Divine, emote Light, and articulate the profound truths of existence is nothing short of extraordinary."

In September 2025, Peter B. began working full-time as a chaplain at the Maine State Prison, following the Maine Model of Corrections, which is inspired by the Norwegian system.
