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.
