Retrieving
Wholeness
As I reflect on
my recent soul retrieval experience with a powerful and gentle shaman,
Elke Macartney, I find myself in
deep gratitude for her expertise and in awe of my own fierce
dedication to my soul's evolutionary path.
We began by my
stating of my intention, which was to reclaim myself as whole in Body,
Mind, Spirit, and Emotions. We then honored the six directions: East,
South, West, North, Earth (below), and Sky (above). The room filled
with ancestors, Ascended Masters, Archangels, and other powerful and
compassionate Beings. We spoke the Melchizedek Method
Affirmation of Protection and Special Call, and my witness, Álaya
(Warrior of Wisdom), began keeping the heartbeat with the drum.
Elke's spirit helper,
Bear, joined her in the 'soul extraction,' which is the process of
scanning the bodies (physical & etheric) and removing any energies
no longer needed, not belonging to that person, or placed by others to
block the soul's path. As Elke and Bear did their work, I kept
repeating in my mind, "I release all that no longer serves my
Highest Good and Life Purpose."
As the last energies
were removed from my body, Elke and Bear filled the recently-vacated
spaces with light and an etheric healing balm. I kept repeating in my
mind, "I embrace the Light that I am." and breathing the
light into my cells.
Elke then lay down
with me and we went journeying together to retrieve the aspects of my
soul that got left behind as my evolution spiraled forward. It was an
amazing experience, floating upward on a golden tether with Earth
below me; drifting through a velvety darkness that was simultaneously
filled with light. Several totem animals approached me one by one,
allowing me time to acknowledge them and take them into my heart: a
white dove with wings extended; a huge white owl with golden eyes; a
charcoal gray snake; a golden lizard; and, last but not least, a huge
white she-wolf with brilliant blue eyes.
Another animal, a
female deer, appeared between the owl and the snake; I intuitively
knew she was not here as a totem for me...The week before, I had been
witness to the aftermath of a tragedy on the road near my home. A
beautiful doe had been hit and killed by a young man driving an old VW
bug; she lay on one side of the road and the young man sat on the
other side of the road in the passenger seat of his car holding his
head in his hands, and smoking a cigarette. My heart went out to both
of them with sadness and deep compassion; as I drove by, I silently
blessed the deer for giving her life to deliver a message to this
young man and silently blessed the young man for stopping to reflect
on the event, obviously shaken by it...tears streaked my cheeks for
several minutes.
As the deer
approached me out of the velvety darkness, I beckoned her into my
heart, as I was doing with the other animals as they appeared. She
looked deeply into my eyes, and I got the sense she was thanking me
for noting her passing with such compassion. She leapt into my heart
center and immediately burst through the other side as a white,
etheric deer and joyously scampered away into the darkness. I knew she
had used my heart as her gateway home, and I felt deeply honored to
serve her in this way. She left me with a profound sense of being One
with All That Is, for which I am eternally grateful.
After merging
with all my totem animals, I continued to drift gently upward, still
very aware of Mother Earth below me, supporting me. Out of the
darkness, a radiant light began glowing brighter and brighter; as I
got closer to it, I realized it was a woman standing with her feet
crossed, arms crossed low across her knees & thighs, and her head
gently hanging down with very long golden hair cascading in front of
her to her feet. As I stopped in front of her, she slowly raised her
head, and her long hair swept up and over to cascade down her back.
Looking into her eyes, I knew this was my Higher Self, and felt my jaw
gaping open in awe. Her arms began raising at her sides, palms open
toward me, and as they did, I saw she was dressed in a sleeveless,
long, white, diaphanous gown...she looked like a gentle golden
goddess. As her arms continued to rise at her sides and extended out
at her shoulders, gigantic white feathered wings unfolded and expanded
behind her...looking as though the outer edges of each extended to
infinity. The feathers were intricately woven together, looking like
soft, opalescent, iridescent rainbows of color. There were black
fringes outlining the edges of the feathers where the wings came
together behind the spine. Somehow I was able to see her from all
sides at once -- front, sides, and back -- without moving from my
vantage point directly in front of her.
I began moving
forward again on my golden tether, merging and becoming One with this
golden Higher Self -- feeling immediately whole and full in my body. I
began singing the Language of Light lullaby given to me by a body
worker, Pam Il'Laña
Kinishah Bright,
a few weeks before:
"Shawanay, ish ta ya nek. Shawanay, ash ta ga
wana way," which means, "Be well in this life, always in the
love of the One Heart. Be well, Beautiful One, we are with you
always."
We/I continued to
drift upward and felt drawn toward a beautiful, golden white light
ahead...I knew instinctively it was Creator and my heart soared with
joy. As we/I merged into the golden light, I began to laugh out loud with
pure joy and happiness -- I was Home!
My rebirth was
complete, and Elke and I returned to this dimension where we shared
our experience together, celebrating my wholeness. As I spoke to her
and Álaya, I noticed that I felt more fully present in my physical
body than ever before; my bones actually vibrated with the sound of my
voice! As Elke looked deeply into my eyes, she said, "Ah, there's
a Light we know and love."
I am complete, whole,
and rejuvenated...ready to move forward with my Life Work in a totally
new way. Each day I give thanks to Creator for Elke, Bear, Álaya, my
totem animals, deer, and my luminous Higher Self for being with me now
and always.
May your own journey
Home be joy-filled and wondrous, sweet sibling soul -- Namasté!
