Shamanic Soul Retrieval

What is Trauma?

Trauma is a concept that feels straightforward at first glance.

It simply means that something negative has happened to us, affecting us, mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually.

We have Big "T" Traumas and little "t" traumas.

Regardless of the size of the "T' -- energetically your body responds the same way.

Shamanic Perspectives on the Effects of Trauma.

In shamanic belief, trauma can cause a part of our vital essence that struggles to cope with experience to retreat.

This phenomenon, known as soul loss, often leads to feelings of disconnection and numbness.

Understanding this can help us begin to heal and reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.

Exploring "t" and "T" Traumas from an Energetic Aspect

When we think about trauma, we often overlook smaller, yet still impactful experiences, and only recognize the major events as truly traumatic. Every experience matters and can shape who we are.

​

One of my teachers explained it to me like this: imagine a mom and her two young kids are at the mall. For a split second they become separated. For one kid, it's the most empowering second ever - to the other child -- complete devastation. 

​

In that instant -- soul loss (or loss of our vital essence) can  occur.

What is "Soul Loss"

According to wisdom traditions, soul loss is believed to be one of the three main causes of Shamanic Illness. 

This loss of vital essence (called soul loss in wisdom traditions) is believed to have a negative impact on overall health and well being. 

It doesn't mean you've lost your soul, or all of your vitality. It means you've lost a piece (or pieces) of your vital essence.

It is a concept of spiritual disease that is believed to manifest in physical form over time.

Soul Retrieval: My Approach- 
Bridging Traditional Healing & Modern Life


​
My soul retrieval process draws upon ancestral methods passed down through generations.

It is intended to help return these lost pieces with a gentle awareness so you continue your healing journey.

This may involve techniques such as rattling, drumming, energy clearing, combined with modern elements of somatic body movement, and guided meditation. 

No two soul retrieval sessions are ever the same.
