For the Shaman, all dis-ease of the physical body begins at the energetic level. Life experiences such as childhood abuse, physical/mental/emotional abuse, divorce, loss of a loved one, or career dissolution can cause either soul splintering taking life-force with it, or create/obtain blockages. The range of these challenges can be from simple day-to-day dramas or patterns to major life traumas and depend on the client’s reaction to them. [See FAQs for examples]
Blocks caused by trauma affect the movement of the energy through the chakras and body and create stress on many levels. Long-term stress causes the system to dysfunction and can lead to disease. In the Shamanic community, Souls are the life-force or essence of all beings. When a piece of the soul leaves, it is a person’s life-force leaving. Loss of any part of the soul can create emotional/mental/physical challenges.
Shamanic Soul Retrieval and Extraction can be helpful when you feel you are at a crossroads in life or spiritual impasse, dealing with a life crisis, relationship problems, PTSD, anxiety, or depression. It is also helpful for wounded inner-child or adult work. Ancient Shamanic practices still today help people navigate difficulties in life by shining light on their path.
