Soul
Retrieval
There
is not any one session
exclusively labeled as "Soul Retrieval" - spiritual energetic healing
is just not that clear cut. One problem is always linked to
another, and another, on and on... so diverse healing "methods" must be
incorporated into the
session. This makes it very hard to exclusively label any one
session as being just "Soul Retrieval"
or just "Exorcism" or just "Karma Clearing"... but for the sake of
conversation,
we shall try to accommodate your need for such conceptual boxes.
Reaction
to Trauma
A souls
typical reaction to a traumatic experience
is to create distance or separation from it...even if that means giving
up the bits and pieces of light, peace,
power, consciousness, joy, memories, love... that happen to be
associated with that trauma. If a trauma is severe enough, this
dissociative process may happen instantaneously... or if mild but
reoccurring, a pattern may gradually build over a longer period of
time... creating an ever expanding schism in the soul.
All such traumatic events (even those that occurred in a previous
life or on another dimension) leave scars that affect the souls
experience of the present.. and if not healed,
perpetuate far into the future.
Traumatic Experiences
A few examples of trauma
that can cause the soul to separate out are:
physical, psychic and/or
sexual abuse
excessive use of
psychotropic drugs or alcohol
physical mental or
emotional stress
the sudden loss of a
friend or loved one
a severe physical
accident or prolonged illness
lack of direction,
meaning or purpose in life
an absence of support,
nurturance, companionship or love
loneliness,
betrayal, failure, rejection or abandonment
guilt, grief, depression,
anger, fear, terror or pain
Infinity of the Space Time
Continuum
Fractured off bits and
pieces of the soul often get trapped and lost in
some "past" or
"future" multi-dimensional "time line". With a significant enough loss,
this will impede the souls ability to be fully "in the moment" and
live in "present" time.
Co-Dependency
- the Soul Held for Ransom
There are many cases where it
is not "where" or "when" parts of your soul may reside, but in "who".
Such parts (either given up, projected or stolen) may be
found lodged within another entity... held ransom to their slightest
whim or fancy (see exorcisms).
Your energies, even segments of your consciousness may then be
incorporated into that being... only to be used and abused (this
may be similar to what
psychologists today describe as "co-dependency").
The Journey to Retrieve Your Soul
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 self...
your light, your wisdom, your knowledge, your power....
Etheric
DNA restoration and rewiring occurs during this time,
as your soul parts are reintegrated back into the matrix of its
original pattern.
During a Soul Retrieval, Spirit travels to where those bits and
pieces of your Soul are lodged (be it in an entity, time or space), and
proceeds to free them up so they may be returned and reintegrated into
your
one being.
Escapists and Opportunists
It is in the nature of the universe to abhor a vacume (even a spiritual
energetic one). Thus, when we fracture, isolate, divest, scatter or
separate ourselves from our soul, in
its place (in those areas we vacate and leave open), we will attract
the
energies and consciousnesses of other beings and forces who, like us,
are seeking an escape to spaces outside their own self. By
abandoning our own personal spaces, whoever or whatever moves in to
take our place, can do with it what they will (even if it not be
pleasant or nice). One may then feel under constant
pressure or attack... or it may seem like our life is not our own (and
in a very real sense this is so).
Soul
Retrieval is NOT a Simple Process
There is a lot more involved in Soul Retrieval work besides
retrieving the soul back from where it has wandered.
Clearing Your Internal Space
Your Soul Self cannot return and be fully reintegrated, in whole or
part, if there is
anything foreign occupying those spaces where your soul originally
belonged (light and dark cannot occupy the
same space - one or the other has to give).
Soul retrieval work thus necessarily involves the removal
or clearing of all energies and consciousnesses that don't belong in
your personal space (all that "stuff" seriously blocks the
reintegration
process). This clearing usually requires a lot
of hard work (a lot of sessions), for we typically get quite attached
to our stuff and do
not readily or willingly want to let it go (even if what returns to
take its place will make us more happy and whole).
How Much Soul Retrieval Work is
Needed
How much healing work you need depends on a number of
factors.
- How much of your soul is
separated from you?
some peoples souls are just a little off their bodies...
while others are seriously scattered throughout time and space.
- How
much stuff do you hold?
some people hold a little here and there...
while others hold tons (lifetimes worth).
- How
attached are you to your stuff?
if you are ready to let go, the healing work is very easy and fast.
if you are very attached, the healing work will be hard and slow.
Either way, continue to do the
healing work and you will get yourself back.
This is Non Conventional Work
I
have dispensed with the conventional or traditional methods
of shamanic soul retrieval such as ceremony, drumming, drugs
or
hallucinogens - my Spirit
achieves just as good if not better results without their use (once you
receive some sessions you will know what I mean).
Soul Retrieval Work is Subtle
Though Soul
Retrieval mostly occurs on the higher dimensions of energy and
consciousness... it does resonate with and have a latent
affect on the lower self and the physical body. But generally speaking,
healing the soul can be very subtle work that is (for many
people) very hard to feel (at least initially). However, if you
receive enough sessions, sooner or later you will
notice the differences. Some people sense the shifts right away, others
a few days or
weeks later. Typically, when it comes to our own stuff, we are usually
the last to notice any changes. If you are in doubt, ask someone else
(who is more
objective) to give you feedback. In any event, whether you are aware of
it or not, if you do this work you will be
changed.
The results of doing Soul
Retrieval work is like switching from a small antenna to satellite -
surfing
along with your remote control you suddenly discover you have access to
all
these new channels. In other words, Soul Retrieval
unleashes hidden treasures (or channels) of the Soul that have been
locked away... so what has been previously out of mind and out of
reach is now present in your energy and consciousness. Whether you
are aware of this in the moment is not the concern - but it will be
there
when you truly need it.
It
would be nice if everyone received dramatic
healing experiences to rally their faith around this
work (in certain cases, this "proof" is provided) but indicators of
immediate results may be a bit more difficult to track since anything
to do with the soul (especially soul healings) typically affect a being
on levels that are often so far
removed from their physical spatial awareness. This does not discount
the importance of this healing - it still fills a very
important role in completing your being. Like a jig saw puzzle or
chemical formula... sometimes the addition of one piece or ingredient
makes all
the difference to the whole.
An
Image of the Absent Soul
When you remove a picture that has
been on the wall for
years, you notice the faded paint in silhouette. When
parts of the Soul are absent, you may sense an empty space
in your energy field - there is the feeling "something is missing
from my life"... but you might not know what it is. This is the image
of your Soul - it is (or was) a "Grand Palace".. but now looking
through its windows, you
only see empty rooms.
The
Soul is like this elaborate crystalline matrix floating around ones
head. Some points and branches well developed with facets
the color of the rainbow... others not so,
some even missing. There
could be tens, hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of these
points and branches in a souls matrix... yet as long as one is
undeveloped
or missing, the whole is somehow out of balance. Like an incomplete jig
saw
puzzle - the final image may be hinted at (if enough of the pieces are
present), but what remains is the feeling "something is missing"
and "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 "windows" (eyes) of the soul.
From
inside the rooms or "chambers" of the Soul, there are 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 open up to ones
multi-faceted multi-dimensional self (having access to all of
ones soul branches or rooms) the more
one can also be of
greater service to the whole (in ways unique to your soul).
We
are like enormous mansions... for some, there are neglected rooms
waiting to be restored
to their original splendor. Out of fear (or was it ignorance) some of
these rooms have been closed off with steel shutters and locks, keys
thrown far away or lost. Who knows what treasures lay inside? Too
long to remember... but isn't that a
mystery worth exploring?
More Information on the Soul
The
Hawaiian Priests or "Kahunas" - "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" - dwells in the higher
dimensions of consciousness that exist above our heads. It is that
knowing part of us... connected
to the Inner Child through the heart.
The Middle
or Conscious Self - our "Ego Mind” - judges, makes
decisions, analyzes, conceptualizes and rationalizes. It is 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. It is 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
The ego-mind wants what it
wants, not what is best.
If
you
are in the habit of exclusively listening to your ego-mind (which says
things like "my will be done"), you may find it difficult to
consciously connect with your Higher Soul Self
(the ultimate authority figure) which often tells our human
self things that it (and the ego-mind) just does not want to hear...
least of all do (like "Not my will but Gods will be done").
If
you are in rebellion and resistant to the authority
of your Higher Soul Self, your ego-mind is going to do everything
it can to help you shut that
connection down and off. Unfortunately, if at a later
date you have a change of heart, The
connection and relationship between your various selves will have been
damaged (and severed) so badly, that you will not easily be able
to (on your own accord)
heal them. What's more, chances are that you would have installed so
many layers of resistances (between you
and your Soul Self) in
the form of
energetic blocks, walls, and distortions... all preventing you from
accessing powers of your own Higher Soul Self that could have helped
you do so. In this case, it would be wise to receive
healing help from outside the limitations you yourself have placed
around and in you.
The human self often has such a
severe mistrust of its own Soul Self, that it is not willing or is
“resistant” to make such a connection. Here it is common to
see many energetic and psychic blocks,
walls, distortions, and interference patterns created and installed
between the human and its Soul 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... we all 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
was the epitome of Jesus’ life).
When
you
are feeling resistance, try to be aware of and accept it: if you try to
avoid and run from that which brings these feelings up in you, you
will be slowing or stopping your healing process. If you accept these
feelings as an
opportunity, they will bring you freedom, expansion and
ascension.
”Do
not resist
evil"
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”.
One closes their Heart in reaction
to something so painful
to “feel”.
Rejecting
ones soul diminishes your ability to be “aware”.
The basic reason “why”
a person gives up
their heart and soul is 'pain" and "awareness of pain". So to ask
someone 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
- or any healing work really – one starts to feel and be aware
again – something the
ego-mind is trying to prevent us from doing (all in order to keep us
"safe").
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”, to be in
harmony with all life, to be at one with our Soul. However, there is
another part of us - the ego-mind – 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 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 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" (higher consciousness)
and to "Love" (feeling in your heart). Resolution occurs when you
either succumb to your ego-mind and follow its bidding, or move through
its
resistances and do the healing work. The first may seem to be the easy
way, but your ego-mind will still be running the show of your life (and
you will
still remain unaware and be numbed out). If you do the healing work,
it's
not going to be easy, but you will start to live again - fully aware
and feeling.
The
Absent Soul
Since the Soul Self dwells within
the higher
(and lower) 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
participating in your earthly life. In these instances, we do what work
is
required to free your Soul Self from these entanglements so that it
may be present with you, and in turn, that you may be able to access
its Light, Wisdom, Knowledge and Guidance... but 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 Soul 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
Higher Soul 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 Soul 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 own souls
agenda
or highest 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 Soul 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 Soul 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).
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 or forces 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 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 a
"State of One-ness".
To lose even a small portion (one link) of
ones soul has the effect of distorting any 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
safety and survival 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 One-ness will be Herculean,
formidable, heroic, staggering, will take time and be a great struggle.
All the allies we can enlist, will make our journey easier and quicker.
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 probably 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
A Clear Connection to 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. And if the jar is locked up or the lid is screwed on tight, this
big person could open it up. Then you
could reach in and get the goodies... yum yum!
