SOUL RETRIEVAL
*Reclaiming Our Wholeness*
When we experience a traumatic event, a vital
part of our spiritual essence, our soul, separates from us in order to survive
and avoid feeling the full impact of physical and emotional pain. This “soul
loss” results in a diminished sense of self, less energy, feelings of
vulnerability, inability to experience joy and opportunity for dis-ease.
Shamanic cultures believe that mental disorders, emotional illnesses and
physical diseases and injuries can be caused by soul loss.
The gifts and strengths which these ‘lost’ parts hold are no longer available to
us; their ‘presence’ is missing. There are also times when we give a part of
ourselves away, or allow someone else to take/steal a piece of us, which may
result in co-dependency. Similar concepts can be found in modern psychology
(dissociation) and what author, John Bradshaw, calls toxic shame or spiritual
bankruptcy.
After the trauma is over or the situation is behind us we may feel safe again;
but we often forget to ‘pick up’ the soul parts we left behind. We move on with
our life not consciously realizing a part of us is missing. We compensate or
cover for the part, which is gone with various coping behaviors such as drug
use, eating disorders, anger and forgetfulness. If the loss was severe enough or
losses happened often, we soon feel empty and lack the vitality that we see in
others. We know something is wrong but we don’t know what. We feel unprotected,
which can lead to more soul loss. Eventually our emotional and physical bodies
start to respond and we get depressed, experience injuries or become ill. We
treat the body but often without much long-term success. The vital essence of
the body is still missing.
It is possible to support the body with various forms of therapy but the essence
we need is still not there. There are many ways in shamanic tradition to restore
lost personal power and to regain the strength needed to deal with life. Soul
Retrieval is a shamanic method of repairing the ‘container’, restoring the lost
soul parts and reclaiming our basic nature. This is done in a two-hour session
and is tape-recorded to assist with the integration process afterward. There is
also some preparation required beforehand. The cost of this
session is 225 Euro and includes the tape, crystal and follow-up counseling if
needed.
Session Information:
Phil is looking forward to being together with you. He takes time to create a
sacred space in preparation for your soul retrieval. This is important to you in
the process of reclaiming part/s of yourself. There are certain ways you may
participate in this preparation.
1. Acknowledge there may be some anxiety inside you regarding the process. This
is normal. Ease your anxiety by being aware of the excitement about reconnecting
with parts of yourself that may have been missing for years. You deserve to be
whole, life works better that way.
2. Create a group of trusted friends to support you as you integrate the soul
parts that have returned. You are welcome to invite these people to be present
with you during the Soul Retrieval as a witness.
3. You are asked to wear an item that you feel a strong personal connection to,
NOT an item previously worn by someone close to you (jewelry, watch, glasses).
This item is used to identify your soul parts. You may also bring with you any
other special/sacred objects that give you a sense of support or comfort.
4. Please come well rested and clear of any recreational drugs/alcohol. Plan to
take some time after the Soul Retrieval to be with the information and feelings
you will have. Create some space for yourself. You are worth it.
There are four basic activities that will occur during your time with Phil:
Introductions and explanations-This is a time for you to connect, share your
reasons to have the session, and for Phil to explain the details of what will
happen.
The Ceremony- He will call in the spirits
to assist and support you both.
This is a time of preparation before the soul retrieval journey.
The Journey- For you, this involves being attentive and present which
safeguards the space for Phil as he makes a shift of consciousness and
explores the spirit world on your behalf.
The Debriefing- Upon his return to ordinary reality, but while in an
altered state, he will tell you about each step of his
journey. When that is complete, he will become fully present in order to
discuss the significant elements of the journey with you. This will all be
tape recorded for you.
During this time together, Phil will share some
methods that may assist you in the integration process of this experience. The
retrieval of lost or stolen soul parts is an initial step in the healing
journey. Integration requires ongoing conscious work on your part to be fully
effective.
