Soul Retrieval
Soul retrieval is a healing technique we can all learn relatively easily—with the right teacher! And certainly, it is a healing technique we can all benefit from.
Soul retrieval is a psychotherapeutic technique used by Shamanic Practitioners to holistically heal symptoms of soul loss. It incorporates ancient rituals, hypnotherapy and energy healing methods to recover and reintegrate lost soul parts. These soul parts can be in the form of a person’s unique gifts, skills, talents, energy and vitality that have been forgotten or blocked, or on rare occasions stolen.
Some of our soul parts take on a bigger role in our lives than others. For an artist, their creativity part is hugely influential. If an artist gets a creative block, this could be a symptom of soul loss, it can feel like their creativity has taken a holiday and left them stranded. Soul loss can feel like we are not fully present, feel empty, numb, anxious, depressed, unmotivated, unhappy or unfulfilled. Soul loss can also manifest as an addiction or self-destructive behavior, as we attempt to fill the hole we sense inside us.
Soul retrieval has the potential to repair the damage soul loss causes, and reawaken the flame of our desire and passion for life. Activate our innate gifts, the gifts that may have been clearly present at a young age, but were trampled on, over criticized or ignored by the school system, society and our caregivers. Through soul retrieval, we have a chance to remember who we are. And by doing so, we awaken a vast store of our soul’s original life force energy that has been lying dormant waiting for us to remember it, reintegrate it, nurture it and gift ourselves the opportunity to blossom in the way we were born to.
Soul retrieval is about self-discovery, self-acceptance, self-awareness, self-control, self-empowerment and it is definitely about self-healing.
Soul retrieval really does change lives for the better, it is profoundly transformational. A big claim to make, and I make this claim confidently from my experience of performing 100s of soul retrievals over the 30 years I have been practising as an energy healer, shamanic practitioner and teaching it too.
The change doesn't always happen immediately, although it often does! It can take time for the soul parts to reintegrate. And as we reintegrate them we need to be gentle with ourselves and listen to our inner voice. We can ask ourselves: what is our soul part calling for, what are our soul’s desires and how can we give ourselves what we truly want and need to feel fulfilled in life? The answer is often very simple, if it is a part that likes to be in nature, we may go for a walk in nature. If it is a part that likes to create we can get out the crayons and start sketching. If it is a part that wants to dance and sing, make time for this, find a way to dance and sing. I am sure you get the idea.
During most of the soul retrievals I perform, I take on the role of Shaman. By journeying into non-ordinary reality, travelling into their subconscious landscape to see/sense what part or parts wish to come home, to be reintegrated. This is because most people are initially scared or nervous about the shamanic journey process. And I encourage my clients to learn how to do soul retrieval for themselves whenever they feel ready.
This method of performing a soul retrieval for someone else, I learnt from my Native American teachers. My Mayan teachers, especially the Q’ero Shamans of Peru work with different methods where you journey for yourself. I like to teach both these methods and integration practices to support the holistic healing process in my 2-day Soul Retrieval workshop. The practical methods and ritual elements of soul retrieval really are quite simple, and it just takes a little practice to get confident at doing it. Of course, it helps to train with a good teacher, someone with 30 years of experience too!
The people who attend the 2-day soul retrieval workshop are often looking for deep self-healing. And 2 days of immersion into this practice certainly offer that. There are also therapists and healers looking to expand their tool kit with shamanic practices. And the psychotherapists that attend, tell me how much more powerful and intuitive their psychotherapy sessions become following the training.
I imagine a world where everyone feels whole, truly connected to themselves, knows their unique gifts and feels confident in their inner power. This isn't just a dream; it's a possibility. Soul retrieval is a powerful tool that can help us reclaim lost parts of ourselves, heal from trauma, and live with greater joy and purpose.
I believe that by sharing these ancient practices, we can heal ourselves, and cultivate a more compassionate and empowered society.
