WELCOMING WHOLENESS THROUGH SOUL RETRIEVAL
The human soul can sometimes be quite fragile. Parts of it may fly away without our even realizing what has happened. Most of us go about our daily lives not knowing that we may be missing some vital soul pieces that are necessary to our health and well being.
Soul loss is actually a coping mechanism that has been put in place to help protect us from experiencing the pain of a traumatic event. These events can include accidents, the death of a loved one, divorce, severe illness, rape or incest, physical, mental, or emotional abuse, shock, alcohol or drug abuse, or even having general anesthesia during surgery. The soul piece actually takes with it the memory or emotional distress associated with the event, thus saving one from reliving that trauma every day.
How would one know if they have suffered soul loss? Some of the symptoms include chronic depression, difficulties in staying grounded or present in the body, a frequent “spacey” feeling, memory gaps, the blocking out of significant life events, and addictions of all kinds. There can be an inner knowing that some vital life ingredient is missing. Most importantly, one’s passion and excitement for life is gone. People who have experienced soul loss often describe themselves as empty, numb, apathetic, or unmotivated.
Where do these lost fragments of soul go when they split off? They are found existing in what the shaman calls non-ordinary reality, or the subconscious realms of the client. The shaman is adept at traveling through the many realms of non-ordinary reality, often with the assistance of spirit helpers and power animals, to retrieve the soul piece. Bringing back this piece of vital essence can result in a major life shift for the client.
In addition to bringing back the pure essence of the soul piece, a power animal and a gift are retrieved. The power animal helps support the healing process, while the gift is often an attribute that the client can bring to their everyday life. All of these elements are blown into the client’s chakras during the session so that they receive the direct transmission of these precious pieces.
The integration period after a soul retrieval may last for several months as the client’s life shifts with each new insight and understanding. It also takes time to nurture the newly received soul piece so that it feels comfortable being back in its original surroundings. Clients often regain their self-confidence, courage, self-nurturing ability and wholeness through this process. With more of their soul essence intact, they can draw on newly returned internal resources to help them move forward in life.
When a client receives a soul retrieval, it is like celebrating the return of the prodigal son. The soul essence that has been missing for years is welcomed back, and the client takes one more step towards healing and wholeness. It is truly a joy for both shaman and client to be a part of this life affirming process. |
