From a shamanic perspective there are three main causes of illness - power loss, fear and soul loss. Loss of personal power can occur when we experience difficult and stressful situations in life creating disharmony, shock, trauma such as loss, accidents, surgery, separation. When we experience a event that's overwhelming part of our spirit can leave to help us deal with the situation, the part that leaves takes with it the qualities that need to move to a feeling of safety or neutrality. The person ( or animal ) then begins to dissociate creating feelings of emptiness, numbness, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck and not feeling like your self. Soul retrieval brings back any parts that are ready to return which can give immense emotional and physical healing, increases positivity, creativity,  reconnection to self, upliftment and a overall sense of renewal. Soul retrieval can come up during a session if it presents itself and is needed or I can specifically journey to ask what soul parts are ready and willing to return at this time. It is truly a beautiful experience and can be life changing for some reclaiming lost aspects of yourself and healing from past trauma and events, creating more fulfilment and happiness helping you to move forwards with your life.
