1 Introduction to Soul Retrieval

I have always been someone that can find a friend or family member without knowing which direction they started walking in.

I do it now in adulthood, but have never really thought of it as something special or unusual.

The day I wrote this part of the booklet, I had spent the day with a girlfriend at Southbank in Brisbane, Australia. Southbank is a man made beach and pool, next to the Brisbane river, and its swamped with families on a Sunday, all out celebrating the sun, market and free beach and buskers. Some crazy kids even jumped into the Brisbane River and swam across it. Mad! There are sharks in there.

My friends family were meeting us there and they werent where they had agreed to be. My friend does the Southbank thing quite often on a Sunday, walks into town from Toowong, and has the family meet her there at a particular spot. It was my first time to go with her.

I kept telling her; your husband and children are over there; pointing to a point that theyve never met before.

She ended up ringing them and discovered that, yes, they were where I pointed.

I had even climbed up on some steps and was looking in the direction from which they came.

This is not unusual for me.

I cant really explain it, accept to say that a dog can find someone on scent, and if were using only one tenth of our brains, then Im using something other than my nose to find these people. If I could control this, and do it easily under pressure, then Id be on a plane every time a child went missing in the bush. I have to be able to test and test and test before I completely trust even this thing that I know that I can do. I know what I follow. Its not a scent; its their souls energy and I have had to have met them before I can do it.

I also identified the fact that I can also find bits of soul that have splintered away from the full soul. I mean.. Ive always known I could.. But Id never put it in those words before.

Reading I did some time ago mentioned the process of soul retrieval activity quite nicely;

Soul retrieval activity can be likened to dowsing, the art of using an object to allow yourself to tune into that activity that is not conscious within you, as human beings retain some primitive tracking instinct for water, like many animals, that is normally dormant, but then may become active.

There have been some very interesting experiences leading up to the point where I identified that I was seeing soul parts separate from physical bodies. One example was the day I spent time with a friend and saw a big black dog next to her, when I asked her about it, she told me that shed seen her big black dog die when she was nine and had never recovered from the shock of it. It was the dog next to her. It will remain with her until shes either ready to release it, or they both cross over together.

At another time, I was sitting quietly with a friend and suddenly saw a nine year old girl, dark long hair, overalls, crying, sitting next to her. I asked my friend who the girl was and she said that shed just been thinking of another person who lived down the street; an adult, whod she just fallen out of touch with.

It turned out that the nine year old girl was part of the soul of the woman down the road.

The woman down the road had been molested by an uncle when she was nine, and nobody had believed her. She had lived in an environment where she had to leave her softness behind and now she was a woman that couldnt accept or give love freely, and distrusted anyone offering it.

The nine year old soul part had directed its energy at my friend, the same way that a child will go to someone that can help it when its sad, or lost. The child part of the soul was hoping that my friend would force love onto the adult soul part of the woman, therefore allowing the soul to heal by letting in love, and therefore allowing the young soul to reintegrate with the older soul.

The young soul part and the old soul part really were two different entities; two different people; out of the same person.

A splintered soul.

If the old soul part; the woman, had died, perhaps the young soul part would have remained as a ghost, until the healing had taken place on the other side and the young soul part was able to reintegrate.

Ghosts are splintered pieces of soul that havent re-integrated yet; either the body that holds the soul hasnt been freed yet and the soul piece cant yet be gathered on the other side, or the main part of the soul is stuck also, unable to get into the healing realm without a full soul to reclaim the missing part.

There are many people that I know that require a soul healing, and I was one of them. I feel complete now. It is not normal for people to feel like a bit of them is missing. Yet Ive heard so many people say oh, you know, its understandable as adults that we feel like were missing a bit of ourselves..

If you dont feel whole, or have never been the same since Then, I am telling you, you can have the peace of being whole. You can get that piece of your soul back.

If you want it. And youre willing to go through whats necessary to reintegrate.

So, what is soul retrieval?

Dr. John Gielow says People generally dont understand that they have sub personalities although they experience the effect of sub personalities A sub personality contains emotional experiences which are too intense for the emotional system to handle. The feelings involved can be either positive or negative, can occur in a single moment or gradually built up over time. The sub personality becomes essentially a specialist in a particular emotion or perceptual state. In negative emotional experiences, sub personalities tend to become stuck at the age of the trauma, containing the original perceptions of the intense experience. Their presence is not generally felt except when conditions occur which are similar to the original trauma or passionate moment. When this happens the sub personality careens forth and takes over our experience, perception and view of self and others in the world. When this happens we are not ourselves, but rather our sub personalities, who then largely dictate our experience of, and sometimes even our behaviour in, the world.

In her book, Emotional Alchemy (2001) Tara Bennett-Goleman declares that Schemas are most likely activated in times of communication difficulties. She writes, When we experience an intensely disturbing feeling, there is a surge of messages from the amygdala, a center deep in the emotional brain that drives the prefrontal areas. The area corresponding to the amygdala lies next to the hippocampus, which is a part of the brain associated with memory and helps us to remember what we have learned about any situation, including appropriate responses. When we are faced with a stimulus that triggers strong emotions, our immediate and habitual responses are really memory-based feelings of what is right or wrong in the situation seeming to mirror the past. In normal brain function the hippocampus works in conjunction with the amygdala, where our emotional memories scan all that we experience, but the responses coming from the amygdala are purely habitual and limited to what has been learned through repetition. In addition, Bennett-Goleman notes that the amygdala reaches its conclusions much, much faster in brain time than do the more rational circuits in the thinking brain.
