Personal Power Restoration is a process that is done in steps, both in the ordinary day-to-day reality as well as in non-ordinary reality (the spirit realm). Generally the first steps is to establish a working connection with your Power Animal plus any energy that does not belong to you and is effecting your well-being is cleared away in a traditional service known as Energetic Extraction. After these powerfully balancing processes have been integrated, Soul Retrievals often further this healing work.
Power Animal Retrieval ~ Connecting to and cultivating a relationship with a helping spirit who has come forth to share their unique gifts, messages and healings is a big step in restoring your Personal Power. This relationship is a two way street, just like any other. While you receive much support emotionally, spiritually and practically, you can bring your spirit guide honour by learning about that species, collecting images of their likeness, dedicating an altar or shrine, and offering them chances to experience this reality. I will facilitate the Retrieval process, show you how to glean insights from them, and speak of ways they can help strengthen your protection, vitality, & confidence. Many people then choose to learn to shamanically journey so they can further their connection and increase direct access to spiritual revelations. If this is something you would like to learn and do for yourself, the online Introduction to Shamanism & Journeying course is now available or you are welcome to watch for annual Introductions to Shamanisim gatherings in October on the Workshops page.
Some interesting concepts about working with animal guides:
~ No matter the size or type of power animal that comes to you, they all hold equal strength.
For instance Rabbit Spirit Medicine is as potent as Eagle Spirit Medicine. The ability to be keenly sensitive to your surroundings and connected to Lunar energy is just as balancing for one person as being able to see the big picture with accurate details for another.
~ After a Power Animal Retrieval you may begin to see this animal in your day to day life, in dreams, images, or literally crossing your path. These are fabulous reminders of Spirit's constant support and to keep your personal animal's messages top of mind.
~ Your power animal isn't just one animal, it is the medicine and strength of the entire species! Though a particular vision may become familiar, know that it is a representation of the whole energy. In other words, not just one elephant is with you as a helper, but the whole of Elephant Medicine!
~ The representation of your power animal may change, and it is important to take notice for that is part of the message. If during your shamanic journey, meditation, night time or awake dreaming, your usually docile Snake Spirit presents itself as angry this may in fact mean you need to be fierce with the situation at hand rather than worrying Spirit is angry with you. If your usually male Bear Spirit suddenly appears as female, perhaps some feminine qualities are needed at that time.

Soul Retrieval ~ During times of trauma, either a sudden accident or long term situations as in cases of dysfunctional relations or intense longing, parts of our soul may leave us or 'hide out' within our body as a coping mechanism.
In shamanic based cultures, recognizing Soul Loss was normal and retrievals were done immediately, this left little room for intrusions to 'fill the void' left in one's system. (See Energetic Extractions) We need all of our soul parts to be healthy and able to stand in our personal power. From this place, we can make more soul filled choices that resonate with our authentic self enabling us to walk the path of our soul's purpose.
During a Soul Retrieval I am shown the representation of the essence of the missing soul part. Often this part is ready and willing to immediately return home to you, other times some healing work may need to be conducted first, or convincing & encouragement may be needed to let it know it is safe to return. Typically the energetic qualities present during the original soul loss need to be remedied for this soul part to stay anchored with you.
You will have homework!
This is a powerful process that cannot be solely done for you. Spirit needs your participation & dedication, and so do you, to help anchor the work that is being done. During the Soul Retrieval process I will be given instructions for you to carry out in the days immediately following your session. This can be as easy as blowing bubbles or as involved as conducting a fire ceremony. You may need to wear certain colours, carry a specific crystal or bring certain flowers into your home. They will be do-able, and are a very important part of your healing work.
