Soul Retrieval

Through one trauma or another, we chose to give up, or separate ourselves off from bits and pieces of our "Soul Self" (our light, power, consciousness, love, intelligence, etc.). This is an ongoing dissociative process that may happen instantaneously - if the trauma was severe enough - as seen from childhood physical and/or sexual abuse... or progressively - over many assorted traumas accrued over many life time on many different levels/dimensions.

It is in the nature of the universe to abhor a vaccume (even a spiritual energetic one), and thus,
when we fracture, isolate, divest or separate ourselves from our soul, in its place (in those areas we vacate), we will tend to attract the energies and consciousnesses of other beings (for there are many out there who, like you, are looking for spaces outside their own to escape into).

On Spirits side, there is a lot involved in this soul retrieval healing work, but basically, your personal space needs to be first cleared out in order for any part of your Soul Self to come back into, for the soul cannot return, in whole or part, if there is anything occupying that space (the light and dark cannot occupy the same space and time - one or the other has to give). So its not just about calling ones soul back in, but also removing from your energy field (on one level of another) all that which is not of you, blocking the integration. In a nutshell, this is what soul retrieval is all about.

Soul Retrieval
Spirit journeys into the infinity of the space time continuum... into the hidden, dark, shadowy nether regions of the "Underworld"... into the timeless and remote dimensions of the "Dream Time"... collecting and returning to you those lost, split off, discarded, sold, abandoned, neglected, forgotten bits and pieces of your Soul... including your gifts, your light, your wisdom, your knowledge, your power.... Etheric DNA strand restoration and rewiring naturally occurs as the soul is integrated back into the matrix of the whole.

When I say, “the infinity of the space time continuum”, I mean that lost bits of the self may even be trapped in some "Past" or "Future" multi-dimensional "time warp". There are even cases where it is not "Where" or "When" your being may reside, but in "Who". A part of you could have been given up (or stolen) from yourself, only to be lodged within another entity, held ransom to their slightest whim (see exorcisms). Your energies, even segments of your consciousness may be incorporated and used or abused by other beings. Perhaps this is what psychologists today describe as "co-dependency" (a modern day explanation for an ancient known condition).

The Shamans Task
In a "Soul Retrieval", my Spirit is projected to where those bits and pieces of your Soul are lodged, and proceeds to free them up so that they may be reintegrated into your human self. There is not one session I exclusively label as "Soul Retrieval" work, since aspects of this healing method are incorporated into many of the sessions I offer. I have also dispensed with using the conventional or traditional methods of shamanic soul retrieval (such as ceremony, drumming, drugs or hallucinogens) as I have found them to be superfluous - my Spirit achieves just as good if not better results without their use.


Benefits of Soul Retrieval Work
Like any of the healing work I offer, results or "benefits" depend on how many segments of the work you do. It's all pretty subtle stuff most of the time, but if you do enough of it, you are sure to notice the differences in yourself (eventually). Some people sense the changes in their space right away, others it may take a few days, or weeks... all depends. If you don't notice any changes, others more objective certainly will. No matter, if you do this work, you will be changed. Again, how much is just a matter of how many segments you do.

Though Soul Retrieval mostly occurs on the higher dimensions of consciousness and energy (in the higher chakras), it does resonate with and have a latent affect on the physical body, lower energies and chakras (so there is going to be a shift in your being, regardless of you feeling or being aware of it).

The benefits of doing the Soul Retrieval work is like switching from using a small antenna to cable or satellite - one day when you are surfing along with your remote control you will discover you have access to all these new channels (but if you don't watch TV, or don't play with the remote.. you will not notice it). In other words, Soul Retrieval unleashes hidden treasures (or channels) of the Soul that have been locked away, so that what has been previously out of mind and out of reach is now present in your energy consciousness field. Whether you are immediately aware of this is not the concern - but it will be there when you need it. It would be nice if there was some dramatic experiences (or phenomenon) to think back on to rally your faith in the work (and in certain cases, this is provided) but indicators of immediate results may be a bit more difficult to track since these particular healings affect levels of your being that are often far removed from your physical spatial awareness. This does not discount the importance of this healing, oh no... it still fills a very important space in you, like a jig saw puzzle or chemical formula or baking recipe... sometimes missing one piece or ingredient makes all the difference.


An Image of the Absent Soul
When parts of the Soul are absent, the sense is that there is an empty space in the energy field.... like when you remove a picture that has been on the wall for years, and you notice the faded paint in silhouette. Or, imagine if the Soul was a "Grand Palace".. but now looking through its windows, one only sees empty rooms.

The Soul is like this elaborate crystalline matrix floating around ones head. Some branches or points are well developed and full with facets the color of the rainbow... others are not so developed, or are even missing. There could be tens, hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of these branches in a souls matrix... yet as long as one branch is undeveloped or missing, the whole is somehow out of balance, and the picture is incomplete. Like missing pieces in a jig saw puzzle - the final image may be hinted at (if enough of the pieces are present), but what remains is the feeling "there must be more".

Soul retrieval work returns the missing pieces of the self to where they once were, as the empty rooms of ones inner being fill in, and the light of the self starts to shine stronger and stronger through the palace "windows of the soul".

From inside the rooms or "chambers" of the Soul, there are these many windows where one can peer into other dimensions. There are also many doorways where one can ascend or descent into other dimensions, and once entered, each dimension will be experienced as a unique energy and with a unique consciousness, each holding sacred knowledge and hidden mysteries. The more one can become multi-faceted and multi-dimensional in this way (having more or all of ones soul branches/rooms) the more one can be internally free and whole, but the more one can also be of greater service to others (in what ways, this is unique to each soul).

We are all like enormous mansions, yet in some of us, there are areas in our domain that have been neglected over many years, waiting to be restored to its original splendor. Out of fear (or was it ignorance) some of these rooms have been closed off with steel shutters and elaborate locks, keys thrown far away or lost. Who knows what treasures lay on the other side? It’s been too long to remember. Isn't that a mystery worth exploring?


More Information on the Soul


The Hawaiian Priests or "Kahunas" - which means "Those who hold the Secrets of the Soul" - teach that there are 3 parts of the Soul or 3 aspects of the Divinity in One:

The High or Super-Conscious Self - our "Spiritual Parent" who dwells in the higher dimensions of consciousness that exist above our heads and is connected to the Inner Child through the heart - that knowing part of us.

The Middle or Conscious Self - our "Ego Mind” that judges, makes decisions, analyzes, conceptualizes and rationalizes – that thinking part of us.

The Low or Sub-Conscious Self - our "Inner Child" that is the incarnation/manifestation/extension of the High Self on this physical earth plain - that emotional, feeling, sensing part of us.

These 3 categories could also be generally interpreted according to the Christian religion as “The Father, Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit”, or in the Hindu religion as "Sat Chit Ananda" - translated as "Truth Consciousness Bliss".

This healing work addresses all these areas


Resistance
There are many cases when one cannot access the High Self because you are not wanting to do so... especially if you are in the habit of exclusively listening to your ego-mind (which has the attitude "my will be done" vs. "Gods will be done"). The High Self - being the ultimate authority figure/parent - often tells our human self things that it (and the ego-mind) just does not want to hear, least of all do. If you are in rebellion and resistant to the authority of your High Self, you are going to do everything you can to shut that connection down and off. The unfortunate thing is that, if at a later date you have a change of heart, you have already installed between you and your Higher Self, so many layers of resistances in the form of energetic blocks, walls, and distortions.

The connection and relationship between your various selves has been damaged and severed and you will not be able to (on your own accord) heal them. If this is your situation, it is imperative that you receive the "Soul Retrieval" work.

There are many cases when the human self has such a severe mistrust of its own High Self – that it is not willing or is “resistant” to make such a connection. In those instances, it is common to see many energetic and psychic blocks, walls, distortions, and interference patterns created and installed between the human and its Higher Self. These “resistances” can be felt as heat, irritation, anger, fear, judgment, negative thoughts, denial, confusion, obstinacy... and so many more. Speaking of "resistance", how do you feel with what I have said so far? Are you now or have you in the past felt any of these things? Of course you have... it’s part of the human condition. To some degree or another, we all are in resistance to change. Life tends to bring these things up in us so that we are forced to experience them - this is how we spiritually evolve and ascend from out of the density and limitation of our lives. This is one reason why many of us came here to this planet in the first place - to “Evolve” and “Ascend” (it certainly was the epitome of Jesus’ life).

When you are feeling resistance, the important thing is your attitude about it: do you try to avoid and run from that which brings this up in you (thus slowing or stopping your healing process) or do you accept it as an opportunity that will bring you greater freedom, expansion, ascension, evolution?

Jesus said something to the effect like “”Do not resist... evil” and "if you have the ears to hear and the eyes to see... you will hear the truth and see the light". I interpret this to mean that when you do not have any "resistances" (can you imagine - life without filters?) the "Truth" will come to you clearly and directly and you will experience "Life" abundantly and deeply.


Conflict
The Heart gives us “Feeling” - the Soul gives us “Knowing”.

When a person relinquishes their Heart, it’s often done in reaction to something so discomforting and painful that you don’t want to “feel” it.

Rejecting ones soul diminishes your ability to have a “conscious” and be “aware”.

Essentially, these are the basic reasons “Why” a person gives up their heart and soul – pain and awareness of pain. So to ask of the person to take up their “Cross” - to be aware and feel again - is a tall order. It’s no wonder why so many people are in conflict about doing this Soul Retrieval work – one starts to feel and know again – something the ego-mind is trying to prevent us from doing.

Within our heart there resides the “still small voice within” - the "Divine Spark" - the “Consciousness of God” - always beckoning us to do the “right thing”, be in harmony with all life, be at one with our Soul. However, there is another part of us - the ego-mind self – that doesn’t want to hear any of that. It wants to maintain its dominance and control, and is fighting to keep the distances intact. We are potentially, in this sense, our own worst enemy.

The conflict between these parts of us can be fierce. It may not be apparent at first, but when you first indicate an interest in healing work, this ego-mind part of you starts to get worked up and tries to find excuses and distractions to throw your way, to take you off this track. It can become quite insidious, and even enlist the aid of other beings who are equally opposed to the Light (consciousness of your soul) and to Love (feeling in your heart). Resolution occurs when you either succumb to your ego-mind and its bidding, or move through its resistances and do the healing work. The first may seem to be the easy way, but your ego is still running the show of your life (and you will still remain unaware and be numbed out). If you do the healing work its not going to be easy, but you will start to live again - fully aware and feeling.


The Absent High Self
Since the High Self dwells within the higher dimensions, there are occasions where it may be so fully engaged in certain activities on those levels (often involving karmic or contractual obligations) that it may be totally absent from you during your earthly incarnation. In these instances, I do what work is required to free your Higher Self from these entanglements so that it may be present with you, and in turn, that you may be able to access the Light, Wisdom, Knowledge and Guidance of this Higher Self. Until the time you get this healing... your human self will compensate.

If you find yourself missing or not in full contact with your own Higher Self, you are just not going to be running on all cylinders - there will be something “off” about you (maybe seen in your timing) and you are not going to be fully present in life. In order to compensate for this loss, you may have a tendency (or compulsion) to fill this emptiness with the external approval and validation of others – from those who represent or symbolize the qualities of your High Self... such as those who are in authority, have power, fame and fortune (the gurus, politicians, movie stars and moguls). This is understandable, for we are all seeking wholeness in whatever way we can find it.

If you find that your Higher Self is way off in the distance (doing whatever)... absent and far removed from your space, your lower self may call in other spirit beings to step in to take their place (sort of like spiritual step parents). These other beings may give you some spiritual guidance, but this guidance - since it is not coming from your own being - may not necessarily be in full accordance with your soul agenda or truth. It is not that these beings are going to be a bad influence on you (though they might), but they are never going to be a perfectly substitute for your own High Self – and they will never be able to channel to you your own authentic voice, vibration, energy, or consciousness.

The ultimate agenda of the Great Spirit is to help you be you. When your own High Self is speaking or singing or writing or moving through you as you, it’s like experiencing a whole new dimension of completeness. And this is actually a much more miraculous (and more difficult) thing to accomplish – so much more important than making you a channel for some other spirit entity (no matter how great). There is a big difference. The goal of all spiritual healing is not to make you into someone else - it’s to make you more you - that you may be fully present and complete on all levels in this one body. That's the "Big Plan".


Integrity
Ever since we as a species have had to struggle to survive over the competing forces of nature ... throughout all our past lives existing on this (or another) planet and/or dimension... as individual souls experiencing life - from birth, childhood, adulthood, old age to death... we have had to compromise our souls integrity (what we feel in our heart is right and true) to those more powerful beings who have been (or still are) in controlling positions over our lives ("compromise", as in to barter, trade or outright "sell our soul"). Since it is in the human nature to follow the examples shown us (good or bad) learning and doing what we know (even if distorted) we tend to perpetuate dysfunction by becoming co-conspirators in similar behavior, further teaching and enlisting others in our vicious games, as the cycle of victim and perpetrator continues....


The Fall from Grace
The Soul is made up of little and big links in a long chain that is our conscious and energetic connection to God (some say these links are, on the physical level, the DNA strands missing from our genetic makeup). If we lose just one link on our Soul chain, our spiritual perspective narrows... eventually we will lose sight of the "Big Picture". Thus began the "Fall from Grace" - that slippery slope leading away from our "State of One-ness".

To lose even a small portion (one link) of ones soul has the effect of distorting messages we receive, till one loses the ability to clearly hear and determine what is right and wrong, and the moral ground of knowing what is up and down....

As the way becomes less and less clear, we begin to lose trust in our guiding compass - our spiritual connection to God - and we become less secure in our selves and our place in the universe. And when the lower "Inner Child Self" feels more and more disconnected, the fears and insecurities take a life all their own (in the form of an ever growing "Ego Persona") as the egos impulse for survival will compel us to all sorts of behaviors we would not normally do, in order to reconnect us (albeit in a round about and distorted way) if not to the real, than to an illusion of the higher self, generated by the Ego (which has now become our Gods, our substitute spiritual parents).

Since we have fallen so far from such elevated heights, our climb back up to God will be Herculean, formidable, heroic, staggering... and will take time.


Self Empowerment
People talk all the time to me about doing the healing on their selves. “Why do I need to work with you when I can heal myself?” they say. Yes, there are a few areas that you can do some healing on yourself, but this is not one of them.

Beyond is the door that opens up into the Kingdom.
You may stare all you want through the keyhole
but you have given up the key.

Healing comes from Spirit - Higher Self is the Key.

Spirit is like a cookie jar filled with goodies. It is sitting very high up on a shelf, perhaps out of sight. Maybe you don't even know there is a cookie jar (having never seen it) and you are a child wondering where the sweeties are. You could go wandering all over the house and never discover it, and your own parents are no where to be found. If you are not too proud (or scared) you could ask some other person (who is taller and bigger than you) for help. But if the jar is locked up or the lid is screwed on tight, you would need help again from this big person to open it up. Then you could reach in and get the goodies... yum yum!
