UNDERSTANDING SOUL RETRIEVAL
It is not Soul which becomes retrieved, but a physical/emotional/mental aspect which is rediscovered and on its return allows the door to open for self realization as Soul. With the return of fragmented aspects comes an awareness of strengths and talents brought in at the time of birth. One awakens to their life purpose and goals of understanding what it means to be whole.

Unless parents support children to grow within their innate abilities to send and receive information, which does not come across electrical equipment, those abilities can be buried deeply within the (waking state of) consciousness. These days as more of us who accept innate abilities have children the fear of the unknown is becoming an adventure into the known.

When an expression of ourselves we wish to experience or demonstrate is not allowed by an outside force – person, place or thing – that aspect of expression “leaves” us to protect itself from further pain caused by neglect. When this happens, we long to reclaim that lost piece, and to heal. Soul cries out for expression deep within us and draws us to seek healing. When the piece left, it sought protection from pain. When it comes back, it seeks expression and healing.

The call of Soul impels us to reconnect to ourselves. We do this by creating similar situations as in the past in hopes of finding that lost aspect. When we over react to a situation it’s a sure sign we have some part of our Soul lost. Over reacting tells us an old pain has been triggered, and is surfacing to be healed. When we hear our self say “Why do I always get into the same kind of relationship?” the answer is simple: we are attempting to find an aspect lost within a similar experience. When we return the Soul-aspect which was lost, we heal the wound and empower ourselves to make different choices.

SOUL RETRIEVAL: A CASE STUDY
A mother came to me requesting help for her son who she suspected had been sexually abused. The boy refused to talk about any such experience, as he continued to show signs to the contrary in his behaviors. I agreed to see if there was anything I could do to shed light on the situation and perhaps assist in its healing.

As the boy played with a friend in one room, I sat in another handling the session as I would a long distance Retrieval. Asking within myself if there were fragmented aspects of the boy, a frightened child emerged. This fragmented piece showed me what had happened to him and where he had been abused. I spoke with the child, comforting him and explaining it was safe to confide in his mother. He agreed to speak. I then gathered the fragmented piece within my breath and blew it into a glass of juice, which the mother then gave her son to drink. As the boy drank his juice I stood behind him with my hands over his head, energizing the returning aspect.

The boy’s mother validated what I saw as being the circumstances in which her son demonstrated his greatest anxiety. A week later the boy volunteered information to his grandmother and mother.

The process one goes through in having a Soul Retrieval establishes strength on several levels. Mentally, a previous experience is understood. Emotionally, the pain is soothed by the facilitator before bringing the energy back. Physically, the returned consciousness, because it is on the road to healing, has a positive charge and strength starts building in the body.

As vibration, I liken the returns to notes on a piano. The person comes to the session as a specific consciousness which is vibrating at a particular rate. The returning aspect is also consciousness with its own vibratory rate. When the two are integrated there is a whole new sound, a new vibration. When a person’s vibratory rate changes, their life has to change. That’s the Law of Karma. Spiritually a door is opened. We have the opportunity having retrieved a lost part of our self, to end old cycles, to use new-found self awareness, and to live life as centered, whole Souls.

SOUL RETRIEVAL AND OTHER METHODS OF HEALING
Soul Retrieval is the return of consciousness. What happened that caused pain and what needs to be honored to become healed. Returning fragmented aspects effects all areas of an individual’s life. Therefore, Soul Retrieval can be supported by other healing methods and in the reverse as well.

I have seen Astrology support the Soul Retrieval process. For example, during a Retrieval a six-year-old aspect was returned for a woman. She said that an Astrologer mentioned that age as a point in time something happened to her which needed to be healed. Once she integrated the returned aspect that part of her past was healed. Now able to let go of the past, the woman moves into her future unencumbered. In the reverse, had she come for the Retrieval before the Astrology session she would have known what had happened at that point of time. The Astrologer could then speak of the planetary energies available at the time of their session to support her healing. Either way, it was time for healing of that six year old.

Body work of any kind and Soul Retrieval are compatible. Both are working with bodily strength, energetic flow, balance and integration. Whether it is Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Message, Reiki, Polarity, Stones or Soul Retrieval, each is dedicated to the releasing of pain, the healing and integration of the whole person. Together as facilitators we can support the healing of Society and the World one person at a time.
