soul retrieval
The slideshow of photos by Terry Donnelly (© 2017 Terry Donnelly) gives glimpses of a soul retrieval session in the workroom.
Soul retrieval is a shamanic service in which a soul part or parts are found and brought back—retrieved—for the client. Soul parts fragment, become stuck, flee, or are stolen through life events that are often traumatic in nature. I am shown what is needed by the helpers, in the journey portion of the session, do the work and return the retrieved soul part and retrieved energy to the client.
A common indication of soul loss is feeling not quite present or not all there in your own life, to a more acute dissociative or suppressed ability to feel alive in your story.
Soul loss and power loss are aspects of dispiritedness that are often addressed in a session. Whether a soul retrieval is part of the work or not is not always shown beforehand, but in this case it was.
Sessions begin with the talking part, the client and I sitting in comfy chairs as the concerns and life stories are shared, and energy begins to move. I 'see' the energy, and begin receiving guidance from my helpers, which helps us form the intent for the journey part.
After the talking part, when we have the intent, I select and smudge the crystals and stones calling out for the work, smudge us both, and drum to enter the shamanic (theta wave) state of consciousness, while the client is comfy with pillow and blanket. Then I journey and do what is shown for me to do, on a lifeline of drumming in my ears. There aren't any photos of this part of the session, as I'm straddling worlds collecting energy, soul part(s) and information to bring back. After the journey, I return the energies and soul part(s) brought back, as shown in the last photo, and at the bottom of each page. In remote work this happens during the journey.
To finish, we talk about what happened during the journey, to both of us, and whatever is coming up for the client to integrate it all, as more energy is transforming. A two hour session encompasses all of this, usually to the minute, although I don't think about time or look at a clock during the session.
Soul retrievals in remote sessions are just as effective, and all the more amazing for it. Retrieving and transmitting energy across space and time is all part of the work, no matter how far. Choose the remote session option you prefer when ordering: phone chats or written narrative. Both work beautifully, go with your preference.
Clients continue to integrate returned soul parts and feel the difference from the work over days, weeks, and longer. You can't return all soul parts in one session, it's too much, and the spirit helpers do not allow it.
I've had many soul retrievals, personally, over the past twenty-odd years, coming up at the perfect time on my soul path. Restoring wholeness is a core intent. The return of power, lost or stolen along the way—including from past lives—is a major healing function of shamanic work, and affects the physical, emotional, mental, and subtle bodies.
You can read what it's like and other client testimonials to get an idea of how soul retrievals and other session work affects you.
Many thanks to the client and photographer for wanting to see what came out on film, including visible energy and even some shapeshifting!
