The description below still applies to what is now in our practitioner training work. The Soulful Self focuses exclusively on the shamanic art of Soul Retrieval. We plan to add a new stand-alone course for existing practitioners soon, which will take steps to deepen practices of Soul Retrieval. Use the contact form if you wish to be informed of this when it is ready to be offered.
For the whole range of shamanic methods designed to enable and prepare people to practice shamanic healing, visit our Shamanic Practitioner page here.
Shamans understand that part or parts of a person’s soul can become absent in certain conditions and that such parts can be found and returned. To move closer to becoming more whole, it is necessary for absent soul parts to return.
We explore ways in which a person might suffer the loss of a soul part and some of the effects it may have on them.
Having a soul part return is a big event. You will learn and practice effective ways to help a person to be good and ready for the return of that which could have been absent for many years.
We work with methods that are effectively used all over the world and that draw on ancient wisdoms that are once again being recognised as beneficial. Using such classical methods, the shamanic practitioner will seek absent soul parts and engage in their return.
We study and practice communication with soul parts, aiming to gain useful information about how the return can benefit the recipient in their everyday life. We look into good practices to help access to rich energies found in metaphor and story.
Shamanic Practitioners understand the value in people being active in their own well-being and so will typically encourage them in integration activities. We explore and work with good practices looking for suitable pathways for soul part integration. Such activities must be appropriate for each individual as well as being practical, realistic and effective.
We learn and engage in effective ways which aim to encourage soul parts to remain. In doing so, a person can find deeper connections with their True Self and build strong pathways towards self-development.
