Soul Retrieval

 

Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice dating back at least 60,000 years, according to archaeological evidence. The word shaman means “one who sees in the dark”.  A shaman interacts with spiritual beings to assist people with physical and emotional illness, receive divine information, help the deceased “cross over", perform soul retrievals, lead community ceremonies, and many other roles.  In early times, shamans served as doctors, priests, psychotherapists, mystics, and storytellers.

In Shamanism, it is believed that when a person suffers trauma, emotional or physical, that fragments of our soul, soul essences, flee to survive what has happened. In this context, think of the soul as our life force, the energetic vitality of the body. Soul losses can occur after physical, sexual or emotional abuse, loss of a loved one, surgery, accidents, divorce, war, terrorism, natural disasters, and addictions. Any event that causes shock can cause soul loss. Soul essences can even be taken by another person.  A soul essence leaves as a way to help lessen the pain experienced by a person during a trauma. It is a protective mechanism. Symptoms of soul loss can include depression, addictions (food, work, relationships or material items), lack of physical or emotional energy, feeling stuck, feeling lost, suicidal tendencies, PTSD, chronic grief, immune system deficiencies, relationship problems. 


Shamanic practitioners can retrieve lost soul fragments by entering into an altered state of consciousness, connecting with helping spirits to locate them and returning them to the energy body. In ancient times, soul loss was well understood, and soul retrievals would take place within days of the trauma. Today, practitioners may need to go back decades or even to previous lifetimes to retrieve lost soul essences. 

A Soul Retrieval session begins with a thorough intake with the client about the issues and concerns that are arising. The client will then lie on a massage table and be made comfy with blankets and pillows.  After any needed energy clearing work, I then will journey to retrieve between one and three soul essences that are ready to return.

 

The retrieved essences are blown into the client’s heart. There may be some tingling sensation felt, as this is pure source energy being returned to the aura (energy body). Rattling helps the energy be absorbed and integrated. The client is then gently awakened from resting state, and a story is relayed of what essences returned and the visuals observed during the journey. It is a beautiful experience when these beloved and long lost soul essences return to make us more whole, more complete.

The after effects of Soul Retrieval vary with each person. People may feel more present in their body, more grounded, joyful and light, or more complete after soul retrieval. For some, deep feelings may release that need to be further processed. Others may feel only subtle differences until more integration work is done. It is important for the client to choose a special way of welcoming the soul essence(s) home and integrating this beautiful energy. For several weeks this integration work should be done. It can be as simple as drawing a picture of the soul essences and looking at this picture every day in a loving grateful way or dancing, or perhaps yoga. We are welcoming home a long lost friend, returning vitality, a journey toward wholeness, a start of positive new changes and hope.
