Creation Myths
In the beginning...was the Word
 In the highest realms of Spirit, there is nothing but undifferentiated, indistinct, pure consciousness and light... which according to mystic texts, vibrates or resonates to the sound of "AUM" or "OM".

"In the beginning", the enormity of the One Consciousness (the "Great Spirit"), did one of two things (maybe both, depending on ones perspective).... Either the "Great Spirit" cloned itself into many selves, or it fractured itself into smaller individual drops of itself. 

Identity
These individual "Selves" or "Souls" had no "thing" to identify with, having very little if any sense of self separate from the whole that totally surrounded and permeated its awareness. It is a pure state...the "is-ness" of existence, the "be-all" before becoming "some-thing".

The soul consciousness then began to identify itself as whatever "object" it focused its awareness on. This begins the development of the small self identity or ego.

"God" said to Moses on Mount Sinai...
"I AM THAT I AM".
The soul becomes aware of itself as the "subject"... that it has a separate "Identity", a distinct "I".
"Am" (AUM) is pure awareness, being-ness, consciousness.
 "THAT" is anything "I" perceives as possessing or holding within its' awareness, as in ones' body, knowledge, memories... (for more info see ego).

The Ancient Ones
As previously explained above, during the separation from the oneness of God (the "Big Bang"), there was a fracturing or condensing of God droplets into individual packages (respectfully called the "Soul"). These "Ancient Gods" or "First Ones" as we may also call them (since they were the first "batch" of Beings created) eventually began to split off or birth "new souls" from themselves. Compared to the awesome expanse of eternity (and depending upon what part of the time scale you look at), who is an "old soul" and who is a "new soul" is quite relative (somewhere in our ancestry we are all split off pieces of the original Being).
Some of these souls were much larger than others, actually containing more of the Light and Power ("glory") of God than others (in a quantifiable way). All beings are essentially created with the same substance, but not all beings had the same amount of that substance. Beings of the animal kingdom - even matter within the so called "inanimate" universe - have a portion of the original essence/consciousness/glory of God (albeit a much smaller portion than human kind). Some who were given a greater portion of blessings are those beings known to us today as the Archangels Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and so on... and the Avatars (literally meaning "incarnations of God") such as Rama, Shiva, Krishna, Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Mohamed, and many others (some having left a more indelible mark on our consciousness than others). These beings have been known by different names throughout different cultures and religious traditions, as they have reincarnated in different places and times throughout history. Many have permanently left their lives on the physical dimension, while others are still with us, secretly reincarnating again and again as Bodhisattvas. In the Hindu, Buddhist, Egyptian, Greek and Odic traditions (and many others) there is a whole pantheon of these beings who are classified as Gods and Goddesses, many still spiritually active today. Incarnate or not, all of these beings can still be seen and communicated with on the inner planes of spirit.

Our Spiritual Parents
At the beginning of creation, there were very few souls who existed. These "Ancient Ones" who did were quite enormous, taking up whole galaxies (so to speak). Like the original One God Consciousness before them, these massive great ancient souls (as they existed on the higher dimensional planes) chose to split off into even smaller bits and pieces, creating many smaller individual versions of themselves. The Ancients not only created souls to most any likeness they desired (by manipulation of the etheric blueprint), but they also created from themselves the plant and animal beings (who also have both male and female qualities, as do their spiritual parents). Though inception originally occurred on the higher dimensions of spirit, we can now see and experience much of these same creations (or evolutions thereof) manifested here on this physical dimension.

A number of these large souls created new souls exclusively from out of their own being (perhaps as Adam did with the removal of one of his ribs to creating Eve ? ). Many others chose to mix and match... a seed from one (the father soul) and an egg from another (the mother soul) to form a hybrid soul ("as above so below"... as humans, we do this also). Since this whole process was an experiment in creating/birthing souls (mimicking the original creator) sometimes these cloned souls were found to be "defective" and if possible, were later reintegrated (transmuted back into the mother, father or even some other parental being). At other times these cloned souls were not reintegrated but left to prosper as they were. As this was a time of experimentation, many souls created in this way were not formed according to the normal human standards we see today, but appear to us now as alien in nature... hence the alien races were born (such as the reptilians, grays, and others seen in the other dimensions). Some of these ancient parental beings were also not quite benevolent, and since all were given free will to do as they pleased, they actually created malevolent offspring... hence the Demons (and others) were born (for more information, see spiritual brotherhood and exorcisms).

The Over Soul & Soul Mates
Most souls who exist today were cloned or split off of some of these ancient primal souls (your Spiritual Parents). Members of this ancestry are considered to be part of an "over-soul" grouping or soul family, having originally shared in a single consciousness and identity. 
The Spiritual Parent and Over Soul (in its entirety) is analogous to (at one time) being a whole mirror... imprinted with the one image of the Creator. Imagine this mirror being fractured... split off into bits and pieces, scattered throughout the universe... yet the one image (with some slight distortion) is holographically seen on each splintered portion of the mirror. In other words, all the people of this oversoul grouping will mirror or "reflect" your original soul (more or less) showing you some image (from various perspectives) of the parental being from whence you came. These souls will always feel an "affinity" to those other souls who came from the same spiritual parents. This "affinity" is expressed in the concept of "soul mates" who are all those beings in your "over-soul" family. Over time and much development, soul mates within a soul family do change and grow different from each other, yet there will always be a deep resonance to each other and a sharing in a "group consciousness" and ego identity. You may have anywhere from one to many thousands of soul mates (embodied or in spirit) who make up your soul family/group consciousness.

Who We Are.. Again
We were originally made from the "likeness" or "blueprint" of our Creator God, each one of us reflecting and manifesting a totally unique aspect of His infinite diversity and divinity ( not seen or reproducible anywhere else). And yet, in each soul can be found the holographic image of the entire universe, just as the total nature and makeup of the ocean can be seen in a single drop of water. We are the microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm, one inseparable from the other, one affecting the other. We are the world, and are constantly re- creating it to match our inner image.  Thus, what we see outside is in many respects, an instantaneous mirror reflecting of our own self (or aspects of our selves at any rate).

Vibrational Signature
In your own way, you are a very special soul ....there are no two people like you in the entire universe, just as there are no two identical snowflakes. In fact, residing within your heart is your unique vibrational "signature" that is written in the great "Book of Life " (an actual record of all souls who exist). No two souls in all the universe have the same signature...that's how unique you are.

Soul
Each one of us are individual drops of living light, which make up the universal ocean of lights. "Soul" translated means the "Sun" or "Christ" ... it is synonymous with our light body (or bodies).. consciousness (or awareness).. and intelligence.
Our light being does not exist separately from the ocean, nor in a vacuum. In this way we are related to every other part of the totality, what some may call "God".

Aspects
Actually, most people have more than one soul or light body. For each separate incarnation (whether good or bad, light or dark) that you ever had on any dimension , there is a stored and completely recorded version of it, individually expressed as a "light body" "aspect" or "shadow self". (see Trans-Dimensional Soul Healing). All of these "subself" aspects (see multiple selves) have a unique energy pattern, consciousness, identity and memory of all that transpired in that one life. Collectively, one could consider these individual aspects make up your "Soul".

Faces Behind The Face
These "aspects" can be seen as "faces behind the face". If one looks just right, the superimposed impression (or shadow) of a face may be seen ( it may not always appear human nor be light). Some people can see this quite easily, others not at all. As a practice, sit opposite a willing partner and glance gently and diffusely onto the others face and eyes (perhaps gently focusing around the 3rd eye). There is some subconscious control in what (if any) faces another will allow you to see. if there is trust, openness, and a non-judgmental attitude, the soul faces you are looking for may reveal themselves.

Reincarnation & Incarnation
The "Incarnation Process" begins from the higher and subtler dimensional levels of spirit... where souls may not even occupy or inhabit a "body" but just exist as an insubstantial consciousness. From here, the soul begins its descent into the lower and more denser vibrational levels of creation... accumulating even more unique energetic structures and distinct personalities... taking on more of a substantial shape and bodily form... incarnating as an etheric body, a solar body, an astral body,... eventually (but not necessarily) culminating in a physical body upon the material plane.

Reincarnation is the transmigration of the soul from one body and lifetime to another, including the collective subconscious memories, energies, accumulated power, wisdom and knowledge. The incarnation and reincarnation process is further enhanced and complicated at this time by the souls' interaction with other souls. This is where there can be a lot of confusion about past lives... as one soul leaves the physical body (dies) and ascends into the spirit realms, memories held in the sub-consciousness can easily be transmitted or rubbed off on to others who are incarnating (this also and often occurs between two embodied people, as well as between spirit beings living on other dimensional realms of existence). Thus, more than one person may claim to be the reincarnation of a certain person, but only one soul may have actually lived that life in human form. Its a little complicated.... There can also be similar life time memories shared between embodied and disembodied spirit beings, as more than one being can occupy the same conscious energetic space in one life. 
Unlike the physical body (which is quite limited and has definitive boundaries) the soul is an amorphous accumulation of consciousness, energies and light that has no real boundaries nor limitations (except those the soul chooses to take on..."I Am That I Am"). The implications here are enormous... this means that the soul has the ability to shift into physical matter at will. In other words, one person can be embodied in a body... but that same body space may be shared (to differing degrees) with other entities or souls (such as your spirit guides). To the subjective consciousness (and ego) all the experiences in that one life are identified with (and claimed as theirs) by all the beings who shared that space with you. If you go to a psychic or hypnotherapist to find out about your past lives, be aware that the lives and experiences that you get in touch with may have been exclusively yours, but were most likely shared as a group memory.

Within the context of eternal life and eternal time, this one life is a very small segment of who you and I are. Our individual soul existence began long before we were even born into this physical shell of a body, yet through the veils of time and the illusions of this world, we have forgotten who we really are. Much more than how we outwardly appear to others, even unknown to our selves, we contain within our soul the deepest mysteries and answers to all the universal questions ("the Kingdom of Heaven dwells within"). If we look at Jesus as an example, his last known incarnation only lasted 33 years. Could he have learned everything he knew about the total human condition and experience within that one short life ? Is it possible that he lived many lives previously ? We really know so very little about him and the full extent of his teachings...  Unfortunately for the world, so much has been lost in time (or hidden in the Vatican). But tradition has it that reincarnation was part of the teachings of the ancient Jewish religion, so it follows that Jesus may also have spoken about such concepts as karma and reincarnation, and as most of Jesus' disciples were Jewish, reincarnation was probably taught in the early church (these concept are still found within most all other religions).

Many Bodies - Many Mansions
"In my fathers kingdom there are many mansions...."
There are many levels to who you are. You are a multi-dimensional being who exists on a number of different dimensions, in many different bodies, in many different places. You have (at least) one of each (if not more) of the following bodies :

A Physical Body - that enables you to function and interact in the material dimension... corded to and made up of earth materials - some associations with the 1st chakra....

A Dream or Astral Body - which gives you the ability to have desires, emotions, imagination and psychic awareness - some associations with the 2nd chakra....

A Mental, Cognitive or Solar Body - which gives you the ability to think, conceptualize, make discernments and have higher psychic insights - some associations with the Ego and the 3rd chakra....

The Essence, also known as ones Inner Most Self - that part of us that is crystalline like, pure, clear, light, eternal... holding all wisdom, beauty, peace, love... reflecting the Higher Self that resides above the head.... found within the Inner Most Heart - the Inner Temple where "Heaven" and "Earth" meet - associated with the 4th chakra....

An Etheric, Vibrational or Causal Body - which gives you energy and vitality... being a more subtle level of your physical body... holding the blueprint for it's form and function - some associations with the Angelic Body and the 5th chakra....

A Soul or Light Body ... the "Light of Intelligence and Consciousness" -  composed of all the accumulated experiences, virtues (and vices), abilities, knowledge... of all your past lives... includes the Shadow Bodies and Aspects - some  associations with the 6th chakra....

An Angelic or Christ Body (some consider this the Soul or Light Body as well)...  also known as ones Higher Self ... reflected in the "Essence "found within the "Inner Heart" - some associations with the 7th plus chakras....

Many of these bodies can overlap, blend, interact or merge with each other (to some degree), making clear distinctions a little difficult... especially when the higher bodies and higher chakras (above the head) start to merge and be reflected in the lower bodies and lower 6 chakras.

Multiple Selves - Multiple Bodies
We have talked about the many dimensions that the individualized soul travels on its journey to being a human. At the highest heavenly level (more or less), we have the soul existing as an angelic spirit. One can remain at that level for all eternity, or one can descend into the lower dimensions, each time taking on a more denser body (you never quite loose the previous bodies, but they become the core bodies of the subsequent ones, like rings on a tree). At different points, you might choose to remain on a particular dimension for a while, maybe a very long time, (and some souls may choose to never leave these realms). Each time you journey through these dimensions, living in them for any length of time, you end up invariably taking the body on of that dimension (and you will always have it as a part of you, somewhere). As these other bodies are sub-selves within you, they tend to interact with your other sub-selves, sometimes in conflict with them. Not only that, but all these sub-selves resonate with all those dimensions you at one time traveled through (and perhaps at one time called home). Having a resonance with those dimensions, this also includes a resonance with the beings who inhabit them. If these other dimensions are in turmoil, and the beings there are malevolent, this can certainly be a disturbing influence in your life (even if it is only subconsciously).

In some dimensions you journeyed through, you could have taken on a body that had the slightest of human resemblance, perhaps being extremely alien in nature.... such as an insectoid, reptoid, serpent, gray,... or a "mythological" being such as a fairy, elf, goblin, hobbit, unicorn, dragon,... or as an animal totem being like a dolphin, lion, eagle,... or even as a geometric or crystalline being (see Healing Services).

The Shadow Selves
Many of these other dimensional bodies can often be quite dark in their nature, what we call the "Shadow Selves" (for more info see ego and exorcisms).... Perhaps you have heard the expression..."fighting ones inner demons"... this is more true than you know. Most everyone has many of these inner luciferic demons and satanic sub-selves that affect ones spirit and worldly life. (At the time of this writing) it is not the outer Lucifer or Satan (two beings who did actually exist on other dimensions, but are now destroyed) who bothers, tempts, or inhabits people, but ones own personal demons... your own sub-self shadows. Yes, the big demons are gone, but the little demons exist in you as you. Surprise ! When people talk of being possessed of demons, this is what they usually refer too... the inner, not outer demons.
What can occur with any of your sub-selves, being light or dark, is that they can come through you at any time, manifesting as personality changes or schizophrenic behavior. They are all still aspects of your own personal multi-dimensional soul, and they too need healing (see Healing Services)

A Self-Discovery Tool
Here is a practice that may help you "mentally" discover and identify all of your inner sub-personalities/inner selves :
Write a list of all the characters of your inner-personal drama. Feel free to let your imagination roam... for example : You, the ego, the child, the adolescent, the adult, the parents, the angel, the alien, the space being, the animal, the beast, the demon,...(and there may be any number, not necessarily just one of each).
Personalize and name each one... feeling free to choose whatever you imagine they would like you to call them....
Next, develop an ongoing conversation or dialogue with each one of these your separate selves, having them speak individually to you (whoever the dominant "you" are), and then with each other.
It may help to give each character a separate form of handwriting (or even a different color of ink)... do this by holding your pen differently for each character, using your left and right hand and different fingers positions. Once you find a hand position for one character to write with, stay with it, do not change...you want to establish and strengthen the link between that character and your nervous system/body.
Of course, I would highly recommend you complete the entire course of treatments that I offer, to make this exercise go much more smoothly. You may find that if you do not first receive healing/clearing, who you find living and lurking within may not be entirely to your liking. (For another way to communicates with your your inner self, see Dowsing.)

Your Role
Everyone has a unique role to play in life that fits into a cosmic plan. . We all have different purposes and work that we are here to do, as a dream in each of our hearts (which mysteriously dovetails into everyone else's dreams). It becomes imperative that each of us awakens and comes to know and follow the truth of that dream, to manifest and be that, no matter what the cost, no matter how humble or outrageous. Your courage to follow this truth will help awaken and inspire the dreams of others, opening doors for those who have not the strength to do so.

To Change The World, Begin With Yourself.

Throw a small rock into a large still lake, and you will see the ripples spreading out to the ends of its shore. Think of it... what ripples of change that occur within you can spread to the ends of the universe... felt by all beings everywhere. How powerful you are (and to think if only you were a bigger rock).

You Are Destined To Be A Star
Everyone wants to make an impact in the world, to make a difference in some way, to be a star. The brilliance you know hidden deep within your soul has been put there to shine for all to see. Our purpose as human beings is to manifest upon this material earth plane, this greatness and perfection we are as spiritual beings. This is our ultimate destiny.

The Illusion Of Life
Over numerous lives, we have accumulated many veils (walls or shields) that cloud our spiritual sight like a pair of very dark, dusty, cloudy glasses (we see ourselves and interpret the world through this distortion). Likewise, our energy bodies may appear as coal (hiding an exquisite diamond within) blocking the inner spiritual light from shining out (one lump of coal cannot shine the light on another nor transform itself fully into a diamond...it takes an outside force greater than itself to do this). The irony is that we have been this way for so long, we think what we see, feel and have been lead to believe is real. We live personal dramas about this false image that we experience, and even manipulate belief systems (religions) around it.... How shall we clearly know the truth in our self and in the people who are closest to us, and how shall others truly know us ? The light of the world is in hiding behind the dark veils of our ignorance, and yet, what can be done...as the blind continue to lead the blind.

Most of us still think there is nothing wrong (ignorance is bliss ?) and on the highest levels/dimensions of our spirit and deepest soul essence, this is so... our core is perfection unlimited. But on other levels and even in the darker, hidden aspects of our soul, we have a limited human ego self that is blocking that perfection from being and expressing itself. This dichotomy has been a constant creative and destructive tug of war within us, between our higher spirit self and our lower human ego self. This ego self has long held a hypnotic fascination/obsession with creating, identifying and playing out the role of being limited human beings... to the point where we have become trapped in our own creation...those apparent illusions and dramas of life, also known as "Maya" (for most of the lives we have incarnated upon this planet, this illusion /hallucination has been continuously reinforced in the mass collective unconscious).

The Wave Of Change
There is a radical new shifting of paradigms in the collective unconsciousness. This shift is manifesting itself in the current popular culture (seen as fantasy, science fiction, the paranormal,... for example) but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath there is the stirrings and unfolding of a cosmic experiment that we are a part of (some of us being more active participants than others). 
This wave of change is coming over this planet, building momentum and power,... eventually to integrate the two polar opposites of the higher and lower selves,... to awaken humanity from the illusions-dreams of earthly limitation,... and to empower us to claim our place as co-creators, yes, maybe even as incarnated Gods. Some of you will catch an early wave and ride it all the way through, others will miss this opportunity all together, and have to pursue your spiritual growth in another age or on another less evolved planet. Have you caught the wave yet ?

Soul Retrieval
The Hawaiian Priest or "Kahunas" (which means "Those who hold the Secrets of the Soul") teach that there are 3 parts of the Soul - 3 aspects of the Divinity in One : 

The High Self - the Super Conscious - our "Spiritual Parents" who dwell in the higher dimensions, chakras and levels of consciousness that exist above our heads.. The High Self is also grounded in our hearts as the Inner Child.

 The Middle Self - the Conscious - our "Ego Mind Self". Our intellect.. judging, thinking, making decisions, analyzing, rationalizing, integrating .... 

The Low Self - the Sub Conscious - our "Inner Child" and "Physical/Biological Self"... the incarnation/manifestation/extension of the High Self on this physical earth plain.

These 3 categories could also be interpreted according to the Christian religion as : The Father, Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit.... and in the Hindu religion as "Sat Chit Ananda" (translated as "Truth Consciousness Bliss").
The causes of separation between any one or more of these aspects of our being/soul may be due to any combination factors such as : 
Mistrust of this part of your Spirit Self... 
Rebelliousness within the Ego Mind
(the attitude "my will be done" verse "Gods will be done")...
 and all forms of Resistance such as energetic blocks, walls or distortions within or between the various aspects or selves of your being.

This healing work addresses all these areas, including work on ones actual Higher Self and on the dimensions where the High Self functions in. Since the High Self does have a greater freedom of movement to roam these higher dimensions, there are occasions where it may be so fully engaged in certain distracting activities on these levels, that is may not be free to return to you....  the Child Self that exists here. In these instances, I do what work is required to free this aspect of your self from these entanglements (which often involves karmic or contractual obligations) so that it may be more free to be present for you, and in turn, that you may more easily be able to access the Light, Wisdom, Knowledge and Guidance of your own Higher Self.
 
Not only is it possible that one may have this (conscious or unconscious) mistrust of your High Self (which would act as an unwillingness to even begin to connect with this level of Self), but you may also have created many energetic and psychic blocks (or walls), many distortions (or interference patterns) that actually separate your human self from your Higher Self... these distortions or blocks are also called "Resistance".
Resistance can be felt as heat, irritation, anger, fear, judgment, negative thoughts, denial, confusion, obstinacy, ... and many more. Speaking of "resistance", how do you feel with what I have said so far ? Are you now.. or have you in the past.. felt any of these things ? Of course you have.. its part of the human condition. To some degree or another, we all are all in resistance to change and growth, but life tends to bring up these things in us so that we are forced to experience them.. this is evolution.. and it can be speeded up. Actually,  this is a big reason why many of us came here to this planet in the first place - to Evolve. Even if you are feeling this resistance, the important thing is your attitude and understanding about it... do you try to avoid that which brings this up in you (thus slowing you opportunities to evolve), or do you look at it as an opportunity for healing that will bring you freedom, growth, expansion... evolution...?
 Jesus said something to the effect like..
 "if you have the ears to hear and the eyes to see... 
you will hear the truth and see the light"
What I interpret him meaning by this statement is that when you do not have any "resistances" (can you imagine, life without filters ?) you will be able to know "Truth" clearly and directly, and experience "Life" abundantly and deeply !!! What a concept (or should I say it is beyond concept). Anyway, back to Soul Retrieval.
For those who need Soul Retrieval work, their Superconscious Self or High Self... is very far removed from the space and higher chakras above your head. In its place, there would be other beings.. other Spirits who are occupying this area, guiding and supporting you, yet... your own High Self is missing.. way off in the distance (doing whatever). Sure, since there are other beings that are holding this space for you (sort of like step parents), you do get guidance from them, but this guidance, since it is not coming from you, may not be your own truth but certainly the truth of these others. The agenda these beings have  for your life may not be your agenda but theirs... one never knows. It is not necessarily that these beings are saying wrong things to you... but it is not in your authentic voice, vibration, energy, nor consciousness.... When your own High Self is speaking to and through you, its like you experience a new dimension of completeness.. a voice speaks (or sings or writes or ..) through you as you. The goal is not to make you a channel for some other master or entity (no matter how great) but that you channel and be you.. which is really a much more difficult and miraculous things to accomplish. There is a big difference. The goal of all spiritual healing is not to make you into someone else, but to make you more you.. to help you be fully present on all levels in this one body. That's the "Big Plan" !  With the absence of ones Higher Self in this picture, you would not be a complete person. I am not saying you would be a bad person, just that you are not running on all cylinders... you are just not all there (2 tons shy of a load.. 3 cans shy of a 6 pack.. however you want to put it).  On the human level, if one is missing their own adult self above nor feel this adult self within, there may be a tendency to either seek (and this may be subconsciously) for adult approval and validation outside oneself (such as with outer teachers, parental or authority figures) or the opposite may be true where you may be in rebellion (resistance) to any authority or power figure. If this is your situation, it is imperative that you receive the "Soul Retrieval" work.
Even if a part of you (that "Divine Spark" living within your heart as your "Inner Child") wants the High Self to be present in your life, another part (the ego mind self) is fighting to keep the distance intact. We are, in this sense, our own worst enemy. This conflict can be fierce. It is no easy battle if you are in conflict with your self.. fighting your self. It may not be apparent at first, but when the intention for battle is called and the forces line up across from each other, you will know what I mean. Usually, a complete resolution of this cannot occur by itself... as your ego mind self is in resistance to getting into this situation in the first place, and will do everything it can to distract you. This doesn't even take into account the healing work your own High Self may need in this situation. Since your High Self may be previously engaged, you will need someone outside of yourself who can intercede on your behalf.... thus the need for the Shaman, Priest, Kahuna, or Healer.
 Self Empowerment... People talk all the time to me about doing the healing on themselves. Yes, there are a few areas that one can do some healing on oneself, but this is not one of them. Your Higher Self is like a cookie jar filled with goodies... it is sitting very high up on a shelf, perhaps out of sight, maybe even locked up. Maybe you don't even know there is a cookie jar, having never seen it... and you are a child wondering where the sweeties are.... You could go wandering all over your house and never find it, or, if you are not too proud, you could ask a person who is taller than you (who can look up into the high places) for help. This person could reach up and bring this cookie jar down to your level... but if the jar is locked or the lid is screwed on tightly, you would need help again from this big person to open it up. Then you could reach in and get the goodies...yum yum !
 Here is a description of Soul Retrieval I have on my web page Healing Services : 

Soul Retrieval
The Shaman goes into the the infinity of the time space continuum... into the hidden, dark, shadowy places of the "Underworld"... the remote nether regions and dimensions and timeless lost lands of the "Dream Time... and collects and returns to you those lost, split off, discarded, sold, abandoned, neglected, forgotten bits and pieces of your Soul - that which is of your own higher self... including your gifts, your light, your wisdom, your knowledge, your power,.... DNA restoration/rewiring naturally occurs as bits and pieces of the soul (and associated etheric DNA strands) are integrated back into the matrix of the being.

 When I sense a person needing such work, its like seeing an elaborate crystalline matrix floating around in space ... some branches or points of this crystal are visibly well developed and full, with shiny facets and imbedded rainbows.. whereas, other branches are missing... yet the impression of what was at once there is still present, perhaps as a shadow, or even, the remnants of the framing are all that is left, with empty rooms and vacant window frames devoid of their glass window panes. There could be tens, hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions of these branches on one souls crystal matrix... yet as long as one branch of the soul is missing or undeveloped, the whole is somehow at a loss (even slightly out of balance), and the picture is not complete, like missing pieces in a jig saw puzzle. The final image may be hinted at (if enough of the pieces are present), but there is still a feeling as if "there is something missing or "there must be more". When one does get some of these missing pieces of the soul, this empty or undeveloped room (or rooms) start to take shape, and the inner being (or essence) that lives even deeper within the core of the matrix, can start to peer out into these other realities through these new windows, these new facets of this crystal. As well, others can also look in and see a new aspect of you and say...
"hmmm, how beautiful. You seem different, lighter, more compete".
From inside the being, each of these rooms have doorways and windows where one can peer into other dimensions.. and there are even taking off points where one can enter into these other dimensions... each (dimension) having its own unique energies and consciousnesses and knowledge.. even being worlds unto themselves. The more one can become more multi-faceted and multi-dimensional (having more or all of ones soul branches/rooms), the more one can not only be more internally free and content, but the more one can also be of greater service to others.. in what ways, this is unique to each soul and shall be discovered in time.
We are all like enormous mansions, yet in some of us, there are areas in our domain that have been neglected over many years, waiting to be restored to its original splendor. Out of fear, or was it ignorance, some of these rooms have been closed off with steel shutters and elaborate locks, keys thrown far away or lost. Who knows what treasures lie on the other side. Its been too long to remember. Isn't that a mystery worth exploring ?

Like any of the healing work I offer, your results depend on how many segments of the  work you do. It's all pretty subtle stuff most of the time, but if you do enough of it, you are sure to notice things. Some people sense the differences in their space right away, others it may be days, some a few weeks... all depends. I tell people that if they don't notice any changes, others more objective may see such things in you far easier.
 Though Soul Retrieval mostly occurs on the higher dimensions of consciousness and energy (in the higher chakras), it does resonate with and have a latent affect on the physical body and lower energies and chakras (so you are going to feel something).

The benefits of doing the Soul Retrieval work is like switching from using a small antenna to cable (or satellite)...  one day when you are surfing along with your remote control you will discover you have access to all these new channels (but if you don't watch TV, or don't play with the remote.. you will not notice it). In other words, Soul Retrieval unleashes hidden treasures (or channels) of the Soul that have been locked away, so that what has been previously out of mind and out of reach, now is present in your energy consciousness field. Whether you are immediately aware of this is not the concern - but it is there when you need it. It would be nice if there was some dramatic experiences (or phenomenon) to think back on to rally your faith in the work (and in certain cases, this is provided) but indicators of immediate results may be a bit more difficult to track since these particular healings affect levels of your being that are often far removed from your physical spatial awareness. This does not discount the importance of this healing, oh no... it still fills a very important space in you, like a jig saw puzzle or chemical formula or baking recipe... sometimes one missing piece or ingredient makes all the difference.
