Soul Retrieval

Soul loss is a spiritual illness causing emotional and physical disease. From a shamanic perspective, one of the major causes of illness is soul loss. Today, we find soul loss as a result of such traumas as abortion, abuse, accidents, addiction, illness, incest, loss of a loved one, miscarriage, relationship breakup, surgery or the stress of combat.

Soul Retrieval is a spiritual method of healing that deals with the spiritual aspect of an illness and 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 blocks.

• Loss of Power can cause depression, chronic illness, or a series of misfortunes. A shamanic practitioner will journey to restore a person’s lost power.
• Lost soul essence sometimes occurs during an emotional or physical trauma, such as accidents, surgery, abuse, 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 syndrome, depression, illness, immune deficiency problems, addictions, unending grief, or coma. Soul loss can prevent us from creating healthy relationships and the life we truly wish 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 blocks or negative energies a person has taken on due to the loss of his or her 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.

Symptoms of Soul Loss Include: 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 syndrome, 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, feelings of being stuck, and chronic illness.

Benefits of Shamanic Healing: release a negative past, heal trauma, live fully present and grounded, enrich and renew relationships, dissolve negative behavior, release addictions, regain focus, release feelings of being stuck, allow more love into your life, recover personal power, find purpose and meaning, gain more clarity, generate more creativity, feel empowered, transform physical disease and pain, dissolve destructive patterns, heal emotional wounds, access your inner guidance and wisdom, bring a sense of purpose and meaning back into your life.

Shamanic healing deals with the spiritual aspect of illness and does not replace the need for traditional psychological and medical treatment.

A lot of care and preparation goes into the process for a Soul Retrieval and there is preparation that is required in order to maximize your healing session. I require a minimum of three appointments. My fees are on a sliding scale and range between $300 and $500 for all three appointments. If you would like to schedule an appointment please contact Karyn Armstrong, 503-525-2521, karyn@harmonicvisions.com. Once an appointment is scheduled a preparation document will be sent to you. It is always an honor and a privilege to work with someone in this capacity and I look forward to facilitating the process for you!
