Any event after which one might say, "I was never the same after that happened," is a possible cause of soul loss. These might include combat, rape, divorce, death of a loved one, car wrecks, surgery, beating, serious accidents, experiences of deep humiliation, robbery, abortions, and so forth. Psychologists refer to the phenomenon as dissociation. Soul Retrieval is a shamanic practice, in which the soul "part" which ran away to avoid the trauma, is healed by the shaman, and brought back to the person who experienced the trauma. What comes back to us are the positive attributes which were lost during that event, such as trust, innocence, self-confidence, belief in one's own lovability, courage, and so on.
Memories which are helpful to one may come back; ones that do not serve us will not. Soul Retrieval is about making us whole again, about mending the fragmented self. It is a shamanic practice which dates back over 40,000 years according to anthropologists. Shamanism is a spiritual discipline which is practiced all over the globe in similar fashion. From Siberia to South America to Tibet to Australia to Ireland to North America, shamanism has flourished among indigenous peoples all over the globe. Lois studied global shamanism with Sandra Ingermann, author of "Soul Retrieval" and "Welcome Home," and Educational Director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, which was founded by anthropologist Michael Harner. Lois has been actively practicing shamanism for over fifteen years.
