How I Got Happy
Well, reiki, of course! (laughter) And, reiki led me to soul retrieval, one of the greatest and most profound healings I've experienced in my entire life. I am still poddling about in wonderment over all of it, and watching in delight
as its effects continue to ripple out through my earthwalk. I'd like to share why I'm so excited about this...
Background: The idea behind soul retrieval, a shamanic healing technique, is that parts of our self can split off from us when we experience a traumatic event. In many ways, this disassociation is a great protective mechanism, as it helps
us survive trauma. The aftereffect of this soul loss is that we're then walking in the world without all of our vital essence. Symptoms of soul loss can include depression, compromised immune systems, a lack of joy in life, or a feeling
of missing a part of yourself.
My story: I used to get sick. A lot. Once every month for five years, sometimes for a just a few days, sometimes for an entire month. I knew that this process was part of my healing journey, and it was pretty rough to navigate, and
debilitating even so. I knew about soul retrieval in a vague kind of way, but hadn't experienced it as I did in mid-2009. One of my amazing mentors and colleagues, Greg Harper, did a soul retrieval journey for me. Immediately, I felt
more energy, more joy, and am healthier and happier than I've been in decades. Wow!
Fast forward six months, to this last holiday season. I noticed that, for the first time in recollection, I LOVED the holidays. I found myself chortling with glee at christmas lights, put up a tree (wow!), and laughed like a child with
the wonder of winter. Previously, I couldn't have cared less about holiday hulabaloo, and was puzzled at first as to why this shift had occurred. It came that this was one of the unexpected benefits of soul retrieval...the child parts of
me that split off from trauma had come home, and I experienced the fullness of the holidays in a way that felt, for the first time, whole.
Since soul retrieval, I find myself sitting every day in the pure, total vibration of loving being alive.
More next month about this, friends! |
