What is Soul Retrieval?

Soul retrieval is the process by which one heals oneself or assists another to integrate the wounds Spiritual, Emotional and mental from past and current trauma. This trauma may also be of a spiritual, emotional,mental nature even though it has a physical manifestation in a person's life.

In a Celtic framework we identify this as a shattered soul. The shattering occurs when the event takes place like shattering a mirror. While there are times when a soul is shattered completely, for most of us it only breaks a little. These pieces are gathered up, and re-integrated, into the soul. The re-integration, allows for growth on the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical levels.

The Soul - A Definition

The Celtic understanding of the soul is different from the Western/Christian concept. For the Celts - particularly the Irish, Welsh, and Pict, wholeness in spirituality is a combination of cabhadh - trust of the soul, creideamg - belief, and iris - faith. When these three are one then the soul is whole.

We know that a three stranded cord is always stronger than one or two strands. Three is everything, three goddesses, three cauldrons, etc. I call this , as Catlin Mathews does in her work, the Celtic trinity of heart soul and mind. The soul gets shattered when these three are NOT in harmony. Every actioneither joins or shatters our souls. IN ORDER To be WHOLE THE TRINITY MUST BE IN BALANCE HEART SOUL AND MIND.

The Gaelic for soul is Anam - it means life's vigor. It wanders in and out of life over and over again, therefore the Celts believe in reincarnation or tuirgente which is the continuous cycle of life. The soul is invulnerable to destruction but as we said can be shattered. The soul gets shattered as above byemotional, physical and spiritual trauma. In this lesson we will discuss this trinity and begin the process of finding the status of our own.

The Body

In most spiritual and energetic healing disciplines as well as soul retrieval,it is well known that dis-e a s e is a reflection of a disconnection between the energetic source of our selves and our physical body. Western medicine admits that some physical symptoms are a sign of "mental" issues. An individual that suffers from chronic stomach issues may be over stressed at work or at home and is manifesting an excess of stomach acid that is resulting in gas pains and problems voiding wastes. If it gets serious enough the walls of the stomach may erode and produce an ulcer or laceration in the stomach. A western doctor will prescribe a medication that neutralizes this acid and hence take away the symptoms.

A shamanic practitioner asks, "What is causing the person to stress?". This is similar to the western psychologist's view except that the shaman is looking at the situation (w)holisticly and knows that there is indeed a physical component to this particular dis-ease and looks to treat the entire framework.

In the situation of stomach gas, the shaman will spend time with the patient talking about the work and home situation and help to understand the root causes of the physical manifestation, they may use journey cards or perform an actual journey to the Otherworld to speak to the guides, helpers, and others who have information for the particular information. Once this is complete, they will return, help the patient to understand the root cause and facilitate a self healing. In this way the di s-e a s e goes away and allows for e a s e .

The Mind

The mind, like the brain has two parts. Where the brain has a creative, subconscious side and a conscious side; the mind has an emotional and cognitive side. These two sides are called bodies though they have no physical form.

The emotional body is shaped by our life experiences, hopes, fears, and desires. When one has suffered the loss of a loved one, the mind through the grieving process may determine that to love another is not possible and convince the body. The person may be fine for a while, but then, after a time begin to feel cut off from the world and manifest depression, anxiety, and a disconnection from the world. When a person suffers an automobile accident they may be "afraid" to drive for a while, and be very cautious even if they do get in an automobile again. Even seemingly less traumatic experiences, determining to end a marriage or leave home for the first time may lead an individual to make choices that are good and yet for the wrong reasons.

The cognitive or logical body, is where we come to grips or try to integrate the emotional and spiritual consequences of life.

Soul retrieval - The Integration

As we see, if we respect the body, mind and soul then most of our decisions will be more informed, and help us to lead fuller and happier lives. This is called the integration of the three.

Everyone can benefit from soul retrieval, after all, we are human, and deal with life everyday.
