From a shamanic perspective, soul loss is one of the primary causes of illness. The belief is that when a person experiences a trauma, part of the soul (energy system) leaves the body to help the person survive the ordeal. Soul retrieval is when a skilled practitioner navigates non-ordinary or invisible reality to return a lost soul part to your energy field. Shamanic journeying is a tool a practitioner can use to receive information and guidance on how to bring a person’s body, mind, and spirit into greater harmony and balance
