I've noticed that but yoga meditation has helped heal traumas, although since I combined it with Native Ceremony and practices ... hmmm.

It depends on how deep the trauma is and whether it is only 'one' specific traumatic experience one needs to heal or whether there are multiple cases or repeated traumas...

Yes, yoga can open you up considerably (at least in the beginning stages to help you get in touch with deep-seated emotions) but in some cases there is a cutting off of the soul... Soul retrieval cannot be done via yoga. It's specifically shamanic work, sometimes in combination with regression healing work (rolfing or such like).

Soul loss is very real and can speed up a person's yearning to die. It is too complex for one to reconnect with one's soul solely via yoga techniques - not as far as I'm aware of anyway. Often, it needs outside assistance and help.

Well, my Native friends would just be smiling at you. Very much. They are at the big summer 'event' and I am not so went to the woods yesterday to connect. Arrived and two hawks greeted me in the parking lot. Then a doe, followed by a buck and then a fawn came out on the path. Now, erm, bucks don't hang out with does in the summer, or with fawns either. Then ... a beautiful turtle was in the path, wearing the brilliant orange colors of mating season. And ... you are right. There were NO words spoken, but there were messages nonetheless.

How lovely! You must live in a very nice area to be encountering so many animals... It always makes me stop in awe - even little salamanders make me stop in the tracks and I just watch them...curiously...

I have a lot of reverence and deep respect for the Natives' way...because it is not easy yet deep, real and authentic...

Thanks for my smiles this morning. Somewhere I read that walking in the out of doors and not knowing what is there, not having any understanding of it ... would be like walking through an art gallery where all the paintings were hung backwards.

Now that would be a waste! And, I love the sounds of nature, too... They're never too much for the human ear... The silence of the woods...or the birds 'chatting away' happily...greeting the day or whoever or whatever is flying around or moving about....

For some reason I am five years old right now and I'm going to go dance in my yoga/energy work room ... have a great day!

... are you saying yoga can’t clear trauma’s in cases where parts of the soul are missing? Have read one book about soul retrievals. Very interesting work and made a great deal of sense to me. Wondering how, or if, soul retrieval crosses over and/or combines with soul clearings? Also, what traditions (native people) do retrievals?


I’ve found soul clearing results quite remarkable, especially when compared with traditional talk-therapies.

We live close to a nature preserve. It has great variety of habitat and hence, variety of flora and fauna too. And, yes to salamanders! The way their mouths are designed, it looks like they are permanently smiling about something quite wonderful. Impossible to resist their charms. I have a passion for bats too but they don’t tend to charm others so easily. We put up bat houses last summer and they moved in this spring. Moms and babes. They live rent free and in exchange we get guano for the compost pile, excellent insect control and ... entertainment. Very fun to watch the bats leave their house at night. Graceful and mysterious. Sometimes they are very chatty before they leave for dinner and that is thoroughly charming too. And ... I know this thread is supposed to be about God, but these creatures are part of ‘God’ so haha, guess we’re on topic. : )

Yes, not easy but very real: the masks just fall off when you’re sweating and singing and praying and that’s not only healing, it’s an avenue for deep connecting ... something I’ve always needed.

Hehe, I AM getting better with quoting and since this is the "god" channel, am expecting better results very soon. :) 

First emoticon used, ever in a forum. Cracking me up.

I am enjoying your posts Xanthas and Warbler. You mentioned soul retrieval. Anyone wish to elaborate on this a bit. Just started looking into it and would appreciate some info.

[warbler]

Hi Blue Moon,

 

Glad you’re enjoying. Me too! I’ve only read one book about soul retrieval so will leave explanation to xanthas, or others who might know more about it. Book I read is Soul Retrieval, Mending the Fragmented Self by Sandra Ingerman. At the time I read it, the material was way “out there” for me, but the author’s message spoke anyway, I couldn’t put the book down, ending up loving it.

And, I remember now what piqued the interest in soul retrieval. My sister and I always said (rather jokingly) that things were so bad in our family that we felt our souls had been killed, or parts of them killed or severely damaged. We wondered if the wounding that occurred had happened at such a deep level[/i], that the psychologists and medical doctors we saw didn’t understand it, know about it, and hence could not treat it. Indeed, the diagnosis and treatments I received never felt ‘spot on.’

That’s why I eventually went to the alternative medicine doctor who trained with shamans. Her diagnosis and ‘prescriptions’ have worked much better than what I got from traditional Western medicine, there is not even a comparison. However, that being said, I see no reason for people to abandon medications, treatments and prescriptions that work. The only[/i] reason I went the alternative medicine route is because none of the other routes were working for me.

And last year I took another leap, had soul clearings done for self, spouse and family. It was so interesting that I took classes and now do clearings for friends and family and hey ... even out cats. This seems to be another piece of the puzzle that has had great results. It’s not magic, but even Mr-Science-spouse was surprised by some of the results.

Just now it occurs to me that soul clearing (as I was trained) is not going to be on the level of soul retrieval because one does not need to be a shaman to do clearings. Hmmm.
Okay, xanthas, we’re waiting ... :)   icon_anmachen

 

Ohhh ... I like the silly eyebrows going up and down!

[artificialflavors]

i seem to think, that -god- is an inaccessible question.. even to aliens and ascended masters..

Howdy Warbler and Blue Moon and AF...:)

Well, Warbler, you basically answered your own question.

But seriously, I would think it might be a better idea if we continue this discussion in a new thread so as to leave this one open for returning to the original question?icon_question

As you might've noticed today, I've already been rather 'engaged' in posting here;), so I would like to give writing a rest for now....and maybe one of the ladies feels inclined to start a new thread?icon_computer

How about it?

The title could have something about the soul. What is it? How do we know about it? All things soul - clearings, soul loss, retrieval, health of soul, the soul in other dimensions ... the soul being so huge it can be in more than one place at once (and I have a curious story about that).

... those are my thoughts so far. If anyone else wants to start the new thread, please do. If no one bites, maybe I'll will tomorrow. icon_anmachen

PS Yes, xanthas, you DID write a lot today! :)

[warbler]

is there 1 god, or a variety of demigods

Haha, back to the original question. When I read it I wondered what you mean by demigods? I know what that word makes me think but it might not be what you were thinking.

Some days I'm absolutely certain there is a kind of god, but it's more like an energy or a creative idea than a person, and not sure there is 'one god.'  I do better to say I believe there is "something" that will and does help us. Have seen too many 'coincidences' to discount that help is available and good thing for that because I, for one, have certainly needed it! :)

Thanks for starting this thread because I've enjoyed the answers. Am now moving on to a new thread about the soul ...

[artificialflavors]

i meant, just a bunch of gods of varying powers..

if there is 1 god, i think no one has ever met him..no alien, no superior nonphysical entity, and no religious master, and that it's made that way
