Soul Remembering is a spiritual method of healing that deals with the spiritual aspect of a trauma. It does not replace the need for traditional psychological and medical treatment.
There are three common causes of illness from a shamanic perspective which are: Loss of Power, Soul Loss and Spiritual Intrusions
- Loss of Power – This manifestation can be through depression, chronic illness, or a series of misfortunes. Apathy, changes in circumstances suddenly, A shamanic practitioner will journey to locate the source and restore a person s lost power which usually takes the form of a Power Animal Retrieval or Soul Retrieval.
Soul loss can happen for various reasons. If you were in an abusive situation part of you soul leaves be protected from the abuse. A child with parents who fight could hide parts of their soul because the child is scared. During a traumatic accident such as an impact to the body or car collision the soul would leave so that it wouldn’t be effected by the force of trauma. If a loved one dies, the soul part may leave until you express and move through the grieving process. These are healthy, intelligent mechanisms of protection the human body intuitively knows how to protect itself. In some cases the soul part will return on its own. But if it does not return, or if it does not know it is safe to return‚ a shamanic practitioner assists the return through a Soul Retrieval.
Soul loss is also generated when you give it to someone. People in relationships give portions of their soul to their loved ones for safe keeping, such as a mother giving parts of her to the child to protect him or her. This type of soul exchange is unacceptable but often seen as unintentionally harmless. The persons who have given a piece of their soul away have in a sense caused their own loss of power themselves.
We do this soul sharing unconsciously. As individuals becomes more conscious and awake of their own energy and how it may be impacting others they are able to find healthier ways of sharing love and affection in close relationships.
Another reason for soul loss is called soul stealing, perhaps we should say borrowing. As we said before, the average person today is unconscious of their own energy and how it effects others. Soul stealing can be innocent, just notice sometimes where your energy is going, if you find yourself and your energy going across the room towards another, chances are you unconsciously want a part of their energy. Soul stealing can also be a way to control and dominate someone else. Taking someone’s soul you take some of that person’s power.
No one can take your soul without your consent. If someone has stolen your soul, you have given it to them or allowed them to have it. If you feel for some reason that someone is tugging at your soul, make a firm decision within yourself that they cannot have it and they will not be able to take it from you.
- Soul Loss Symptoms occur because of accidents, surgery, abuse, experiencing the trauma of war, being in a natural disaster, divorce, the death of a loved one or other traumatic circumstances. Soul Loss can result in: dissociation, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, illness, immune deficiency problems, addictions, un-ending grief or coma, on-going disorientation, feeling lost for extended time periods, depression (sudden or chronic), feeling that part of you is missing or not feeling like yourself, confusion after a traumatic experience, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trouble keeping yourself together, problems after accidents or being accident prone, unusual fatigue, inability to remember certain incidents, melancholy around an old incident, recurring nightmares, repeating unhealthy patterns, unable to move forward with life, feeling of being stuck and chronic illness. Soul loss can also result in physical symptoms such as dry heaves, abdominal pain, releasing grief and thoughts of hopelessness, self destructive behavior and thoughts of suicide. Not only trauma causes soul loss but also unconscious, sexual union that is not heart centered between partners, sexual addiction through pornography or varies other means through sexual abuse, rape or a lack of being in your body and present. Sexual exchange is a sacred act between two people who are both surrendering into love rather then controlling, manipulative patterns for achieving a goal. Soul Loss can prevent us from creating healthy relationships and the life we truly want to live. In this particular situation a shamanic practitioner will track down the soul parts that have fled and been lost due to trauma by performing a Soul Retrieval ceremony.
- Spiritual Intrusions or Blocks – Also known as negative energies a person has taken on due to the loss of the individuals power or soul essence. These blocks or negative energies also cause illness, usually in a localized area of the body. The role of the shamanic practitioner is to extract and remove these harmful energies from the body through what is called Shamanic Extraction.

A lot of care and preparation, on my part, goes into the process for Soul Remembering and Recovery. For optimum success plan on a session being 2 to 3 hours. The integration is more important then the actually ceremony, after the healing story comes the integration. The Integration will be done through a process I developed using creative arts. There are many things that may come up during the Ceremony that will be beneficial for us to do together in order to get the results you want.
My fees are by sliding scale donation for your session. The appointment is at least two hours, we often go three hours and sometimes longer. A sliding scale is difficult to determine, time is valuable for you and myself so I will give you an hourly scale of $80.00 to $120 an hour. I am more concerned my work is available to you therefore your heart will guide you depending on the value and benefit you receive for the session.
