What
is it and why would I want to
experience it?
At
Sacred Hoop Ministry we look at the spiritual side of illness.
In ancient Indigenous cultures there were
three
causes to Illness:
#1.Soul Loss
#2.Power Loss
#3.Spiritual Intrusion
During a Shamanic Session, we look at the Spiritual aspect of illness or
dis-ease. We become the “hollow bone”,
allowing the helping and
compassionate spirits to work through us.
DISCLAIMER
A private Shamanic Session: generally described below, is subject to
change by the helping spirits,
as we work in partnership with them and
they will guide, direct and work through us.
Extraction of Spiritual Intrusions
is a Shamanic term meaning “removing
that which does not belong to you”.
Typically, this is the first
part of a “Shamanic Session” experience.
You can look at
Spiritual Intrusions as being energy blocks,
cords,
dis-ease or whatever is not serving you at this time.
During the
extraction process
we may use rattles, drums, crystals,
toning, feathers and
other spiritual tools, may be incorporated
to clear these intrusions and energy blocks. This is part of the
preparation for your soul parts to
be returned. If you have
experienced soul loss, there is an emptiness or void that can
inadvertently attract spiritual intrusions or foreign
energies that
just aren’t yours. These
attachments or intrusions may be caused by
unbalanced thoughts and energies
others may have sent
out in
you direction either deliberately or on
sub-conscious level.

feel lighter, not so much baggage”… P.T.

Soul Retrieval
is another part of the experience during a Shamanic Session. This is a
process of bringing
back parts of ourselves we have lost during
a variety of traumatic experiences that may have occurred in our
lives. One of our defense mechanisms for surviving these traumatic
events is referred by
psychologists as
“disassociation”, which means that we tend to leave our bodies
in order to survive the situation and we don't
always fully return. Part of
our soul, our essence, our life force or our vitality, stays "out
there" or is lost
until it is brought back during a Soul Retrieval. What gets
returned is the "pure
essence"
that left at the time of the trauma, not the trauma itself.....although
memories and emotions can return for
healing. With the
return of the soul parts, comes the pure essence which brings
you the “gifts” of what was previously lost. Soul loss can be a
simple as a school teacher teasing you about an art project in front
of the class, which in turn, could have shut down your “creativity”.
The returning soul part can bring back “the gift of your
creativity. It returns your pure essence to you, bringing back any
personal power that may have been lost along the way.

feel stronger and more able to stand up for myself, it was a very
symbolic experience”…

that without these soul parts, I was stuck... My life has
transformed very quickly”… R.F.

Power Animal Retrieval:
The power animal is seen as a guardian spirit(s), that we have with us since birth. Sometimes
different power animals come into our lives to share the power they
carry with us. We can have
 several of them working on our behalf at
the same time.
In many cases, these power animals may spend a
lifetime waiting for us to finally
discover them. If we have a power animal that has left us, without a new one
coming in, we may
suffer from “power
loss”. This can show up
in our lives in the form of chronic health problems;
always
feeling ill, having a cold, the flu or feeling run down.
Chronic depression and misfortune
can be other signs of power
loss. We have power animals to protect and keep us in balance.
During a Shamanic
Session it is not uncommon for a power animal to return along with the
soul parts…bringing it’s power to share with you.
Shamanic Session is a very empowering experience that can
help you achieve wholeness and become
power filled once again...
Homework:
Once the session is over, and you have received soul parts back, a big part of the healing is now
up to you.
The personal work after the session is as important as
the session itself. The question becomes, “Now that you have your
power back, what
are going to do with it? What changes are you willing to make in your life to receive a
complete healing? If
our clients do not have a good
support system to work with, we may
suggest therapy or other modalities to assist their continued healing
in a healthy and
graceful manner.
Roxanne and Jim remain available to help with this
process via
email, phone calls or private sessions.
We also offer a one-day Soul Retrieval
follow-up course called “Welcome Home”. This class will
help you integrate your soul parts, and work through any
issues that may
come up.
You may also discover that you are holding on to
soul parts belonging to others, which
you will be able to release at this class.
At
first, some of the bad feelings came back after my soul retrieval and
I cried. But the Welcome
Home Session was very helpful in my
determining where and how to go from here”…

.
In
summary, Soul Retrieval returns pure essence and wholeness to a
person. You now have the personal power
to make
different choices, which may allow you to change any disruptive
patterns in your life. For some, this is
the
first step toward personal healing and for others it can be the last
piece of the puzzle called “you”.
