Soul Retrieval

A soul retrieval is a healing tool whereby the practitioner accesses and returns "soul parts" that have broken off from the person due to stress, trauma, shock, death of a loved one, abuse, illness etc. Often people have heard things like, "She's never been the same after the death of her loved one." or "He seems to be lost since the divorce". It's even common to hear of such loss in love songs like, 'I've lost a piece of my soul.' In fact, any event in which someone says," I was never the same after that happened," is a possible cause of soul loss.

Have you ever experienced something so stressful, sad, or scary that you've wanted to run and hide? This is often what happens when the person is faced with something overwhelming and yet the body is unable to run and hide. In order to get away from the situation, the soul can literally fragment and leave the body, which is a survival technique.

Psychologists refer to this phenomenon as dissociation. It's not uncommon for therapists to hear that a person who was just in a serious accident found herself hovering above the accident scene. The same is true for people who have been abused. People often report watching the abuse take place from another part of the room as if they were floating above their body.

Soul retrieval is a shamanic technique in which the soul part is healed and returned back to the person. What returns are the positive attributes that were lost during that event such as joy, self-confidence, courage, playfulness, and increase in energy, belief in one's own lovability and a desire to live life to the fullest to name a few.   Memories may also return that will serve you and be helpful in some way.   Soul retrieval has been an effective method to treat: depression, memory loss, addictions, chronic illness, grief and apathy.

Do you feel like a part of you has been missing in spite of your self-development and on-going personal growth process?   Soul retrievals are usually done as part of an individual's growth process and should not be looked upon as a quick fix for all of life's challenges.

Questions to consider prior to having a soul retrieval are:

• What do you hope to accomplish and why do you want a soul retrieval?


• Are you ready to experience change in your life?


• Do you have a support system to discuss your soul retrieval with?
