Soul Retrieval and Power Retrieval are methods of reclaiming sources
of vitality and strength that have been depleted. Soul Retrieval brings back portions of oneself that have been splintered off. Sometimes this happens through trauma--mild or major, sudden fright, anesthesia, accidents, malice, or through self-protective mechanisms. Sometimes a person hides away an aspect of one's self in order to compensate for a situation that feels too overwhelming for them. At times, we may give away an aspect of ourselves through unbalanced love or wanting too much to give of ourselves. Sometimes parts can be taken--usually inadvertently--by someone who is also lacking in power. No one can benefit from this! We each need all of our own parts!
Power retrieval can be restored through the compassion of a totem animal, a guide, angel, archetype, or other benevolent being who volunteers to assist a person. Often a combination of power retrieval, clearing work and vibrational healing are used during shamanic energy work.
