The causes of soul loss are many with most people experiencing some degree of soul loss in their lifetime.
Children are particularly vulnerable to soul loss at the hands of adults.
Soul loss is often associated with physical or sexual abuse, death of a loved one or severe or chronic illness. Repressed, forgotten and gaps in memory could also be an effect of soul loss. Today many of us are realizing that we are not completely whole. A shamanic practitioner can assist a person with soul loss by journeying on their behalf to uncover how and when the separation occured and to return the missing soul part or energy to the person.
