Shamanic soul retrieval is a cross-cultural healing practice, which is being practiced from one culture to another. It is a healing process used to retrieve or recover one’s soul loss in other than the person may have a stable life once again, which will be free from negativity and mishaps. Despite the fact that the shamanic healing soul retrieval is practiced from one culture to another, there is no much difference. It is still very similar. 

Why does the soul need retrieval?

According to Shamanism, the soul is full of energy of which the body is a part of. The soul is believed to be that part of the body that one cannot discern with the mere 5 senses. As a result of problems and other traumatic stress, one faces, there might be breakage, disruptions, or even shredding of the energy field, which is the soul. And when this happens, depending on the level of traumatic stress, part of it could split off and get lost in the other world and thus would cause us to feel incomplete, pervasive or better put, a general sense of absence in one’s life. This trauma can come in the form of violence, illness, shocks, accidents, long periods of enduring hardship, and so on. So, shamanic soul retrieval is successfully bringing back the missing pieces or damaged pieces of one’s soul which was lost as a result of traumatic stress or any other form of stress or hardship in other to correct the wrong in a person life and promote happy and peaceful living.

What is shamanic trance

Shamanic trance, also called shamanic journey, is different from the regular contemporary trance. The shamanic trance, is a practiced state of consciousness acheivable through many means. It is a form of consciousness which is carried out in order to reach another shamanic reality. This is done in other to find answers and solutions to one’s problems from spirit teachers. Animals play a large role in the shamanic trance. They can help a person find his or her way back to wellness and good health and even regain natural empowerment. During the shamanic trance, a monotonous drum rhythm is sometimes played, or sacred plant medicines administered to facilitate the shift in consciousness necessary to reach other realms of existence. The purpose of that rhythm or medicine is to induce and even facilitate the human brains imaging ability, and this would better enable an ecstatic or dreamlike state of consciousness. The rhythm stimulates the production of waves in the brain, which stimulates vivid imagery and a heightened level of creativity. This is done in what is called the theta range or low alpha. While the process might appear effortless to an onlooker, it takes more than just a little effort to carry out a successful shamanic trance. Many persons have learned to fly or get into the shamanic trance but very few can actually retain control of their flight, and this is very important as Long as shamanic trance is concerned. The ability to go into and come out of any trance at a point regardless of anywhere one might be, is what makes up the shaman. Without absolute control of one’s flight when desired, the shamanic trance is incomplete.

How shamans use the energy of the universe to heal.

Healing with the energy of the universe involves many techniques and ceremonines that need to be mastered.

Energy centers and wheels then receive and process all of this energy from the world around us which the shaman, in turn, uses to Heal both himself and others. To access the universe through his body, a shaman needs to have His body around the chakra and make sure his energy is focused to perform healing through these techniques :
