I do believe in Fairies …… I do, I do.
Let me tell you how the spirits had a way  in helping me come to this conclusion.  A few weeks ago Teresa Arney, from Pathways Healing center, approached me with an id3a for the Health and Harmony faire.  At this year’s event she wanted to include a fairy garden!  To get me excited she showed me all her photographs of orb’s and fairies.  You could actually see their wings fluttering. 
I, like most adults had forgotten about the fairies, so to refresh my memory I check out a book at Pathways.  The one that called to me was Fairies 101, by Doreen Virtue.  After reading the book I went out and started picking up trash on our Sunday drives in the wilderness. 
Did you know that God sent Angles to be guardians of people and he sent Fairies to be the guardians over the earth and animals? The fairies are many times misunderstood; they’re loving creations of god.  Fairies can be judgmental they help people who are kind to the environment and animals.  They withhold aid and communication from those who mistreat the planet and its inhabitants.  They don’t except you to be perfect at recycling or become an environmentalist, they just want you to try your best.  If you do, the fairies will do anything to help you.  Their assistance is reliable, safe, and very magical!
So in the book fairies 101, there is a chapter on how to use the fairies help in selling your house.  We have been trying to sell our house so I asked my husband Dan to read that chapter in the book.  After he finished that chapter he flipped the book shut and started reading it from front to back.  He believes, he does, and he does.  Dan now buys M & M’s ever week just for the fairies (he probable eats one or two.)  He has asked them to let us know if they are with us.  We now have mushrooms in our flower garden, a sure sign fairies have moved in.  And you should see all the Hugh butterflies we now have all thanks to the fairies.  Another important part of believing in fairies is you have to share with your friends your belief in them.
We started to share our belief in fairies with our neighbor Steve Jackson.  We made a campground in Steve’s valley and started spending lot of time with nature often talking about fairies.  Steve knew that if he wanted to see the fairies he would have share stories about fairies to; he is a custodian at Sunny Side Elementary School he told the librarian Nancy Logan about his Crazy neighbors who believed in fairies.   She borrowed a book to Steve for us to read, Fairy Houses, by Barry Kane.  We had guest from Wisconsin visiting and we shared the book with them and told them we had to make a faire house. 
We were all so inspired by that book that we couldn’t wait to make our own fairy house.  It took four people two hours to build our house.  Thank you, Nadine and Charlie Bruenig for all your inspiring ideas.  Nadine found most of the materials we used just walking in the yard. And Charlie, WOW ….just check out the fire place side of the house this was all done by a 25 year old.  He burned the board the the fire pit would sit on.. He burned the tips of the logs in the fire pit and added dried flowers to make it look like flames.  The chairs are sea shells tipped upside down with legs under them and check out his tree.

The fairy house was a big hit at the Health and Harmony faire everyone loved it.  By the end of the first day we had orders to fill for faire houses.  The circle wasn’t’ complete just yet. Nancy, the librarian who borrowed the book to us had a class on fairy house building last week and invited us to bring our house and talk to the children about fairies.  All of the children were right upfront staring into the house while the parents were in the back of the room thinking I was CRAZY.  By the end of my presentation EVERYONE was glued to the house. 
Now it was time for the children to build their own fairy houses.  They made our house seem like nothing when they let their imaginations run wild.  Most of them took their materials home so they could continue to work on them.  Others left them in the buses at school so the fairies would have a home there too.  We have given fairy houses to a few people so they can share their designs and stories with you too.
The fairies remind us: Life is joyful and fun, Nature needs and deserves our respect, animals are our brothers and sisters, everything is alive, Play is very important and you can magically manifest everything you need.
Thank you Teresa for awakening the inner child that couldn’t wait to come out and play.

Soul loss is experienced when trauma of any kind happens to a person to the extent that the event is too much for that person to endure at the time. Trauma happens to us in many ways such as mental, emotional, Spiritual and physical abuse, sexual abuse, accidents, and even surgeries. In such cases, pieces of the soul or “pure essence” fragment or leave  in order to ”numb out” the event.

So where might these soul fragments go and do they come back? Well in order to fully understand this process, you must first understand that we beings have two basic components. We have our physical body and our Spirit body or our Soul. It is at the Soul Level that we experience this loss. There is no rule of thumb or good reason as to whether fragmented soul parts will return on their own or not.  Since soul loss has not been a standard component of traditional psycho  therapies, soul loss often goes unnoticed and untreated.

When soul loss goes untreated it leaves us with a feeling of “not being ourselves”.  Soul loss causes holes in the energy field, draining one of their innate life force energy. Some classic signs of soul loss are chronic illness, chronic fatigue, misfortune, feelings of emptiness or not being whole, and not being connected to Spirit.

Another very real cause of soul loss is soul theft. If one is not totally in their power they can be more vulnerable to soul theft. This can occur through family members such as spouses, children or parents. Often times the alleged thief does not consciously know what they are doing. There are those however who do know that they are preying on someone else’s energy. What they don’t usually understand is that the energy they take from someone else is not usable energy for the thief. This energy or “life force” that has been taken from someone else is like wearing cement shoes for the thief.  Over time this stolen energy becomes heavy and very detrimental to the thief causing some of the same symptoms that the victim may be experiencing.

Employing the services of a Shaman or Shamanic practitioner can help bring soul parts back and bring the client back into wholeness and balance. A Shaman journeys on behalf of the client and finds the missing soul parts and brings them back. In knowing what caused the soul parts to fragment helps the Shaman/practitioner educate the client on how to keep this from happening again and how to incorporate the soul parts back.

In more rare cases when a sorcerer has stolen the soul,  and believe me, this is alive and well in our western world today, one really needs to contact a Shaman who is very well versed in what they are doing. If you feel that you are suffering at the hands of someone else, you will want to really spend time doing research and finding referrals on Shamanic practitioners. There are many reputable Shamanic practitioners out there, but there are also many “dabblers” who could do more harm than good.

One of my biggest suggestions to you if you think you may suffer from soul loss is to call on your personal Angels and Guides and ask for help in choosing the proper Shaman to help you with your Soul Retrieval. There is good help available out there and no need for anyone to suffer and not feel whole. And “trust” your own instincts.

I have been studying and teaching Shamanism for over 10 years and with many different teachers and I have studied two separate lineages of soul retrieval as well as curse unraveling. There are also other Shamanic practitioners at Pathways (pathwaysbayfield.com) if you are not called to work with me. We all resonate with different people and energies and it is important that you and your practitioner are in alignment with each other.
