DISCOVERING MY FRAGMENTED SOUL

How did I retrieve my soul? It didn’t happen the first time I went to look for her during the Soul Retrieval class I took in September 2002. What Alberto had accomplished on the last day of that class was the retrieval of an auspicious quantum of energy from my destiny. In that moment, this offered me great protection and fueled my life’s new direction, but it was more than three years later that my lost soul came back to dance with me again.

During this first Soul Retrieval course, our teacher Lynn taught us how to quest through the lower world, how to find our lost self, and how to access precious resources from the same depths to help integrate the process. When Lynn determined we were ready, she asked that we journey on behalf of a partner.

On the spot, my classmate Jay, who had taken me under his wing, offered to quest for me. Down through the roots of the tree of life he went, all the way to a pristine underground river feeding the mighty tree. There, he cleansed himself from all energies that do not belong in the lower realm and allowed those waters to carry him deeper, all the way to my inner garden. There he summoned the gatekeeper of those domains, who became his guide after Jay paid his respects. Together, they explored the chambers of my soul. First they visited the wounding that derailed me from my life’s sacred purpose.

Jay carefully asked, “Would you follow me to meet yourself at thirty-one years old?” Looking into his eyes, she answered by spiraling away. The gatekeeper encouraged Jay to remain unattached and to continue looking for a gift for me. Jay found a drum and a rattle to help me find my own voice and power, and eventually be able to call my dancing soul back.

Finally, before ascending from my gardens within the netherworld, the gatekeeper called the spirit of an animal to assist me in the process of integration of my power and medicine. Promptly, a bald eagle came, flapping with vigor as it landed next to Jay. To return from my inner garden, Jay followed the same route through which he entered, so as not to get lost in the phantom landscape outside the clear river and the deep roots of the tree of life.

Jay had been softly shaking his rattle throughout the whole journey to help him stay in a self-induced trance. As he gently brought the shaking to
