Shamanic soul retrieval is an ancient technique. However, it parallels the psycho therapeutic practice of integrating lost “parts” of yourself which may have become “split off” through trauma, illness or extreme stress

One of the side effects of soul retrieval is that a person may experience the purging of strong emotions. This is normal, and it releases pent-up, stagnant energy from the body.  It also removes energetic blockages. The emotions liberated by soul retrieval should not be held inside, which is unhealthy.
