Soul Return is a healing process that incorporates ancient shamanic skills with modern day intuitional practices. Deep within each of us there resides a core self. We refer to this inner healer as "The Shaman Within." Traditionally the Shaman is one seeks out "lost soul parts", restoring them to the individual so that they may regain health and wholeness. The Shamanic Breathwork™ Process, in conjunction with soul return work, is a particularly effective means of recovering lost soul parts. Soul Return is spiritual assistance through the aid of a co-journeyer who travels with another person (the journeyer or receiver) into their psyche - past, present and future. The co-journeyer locates the disembodied parts of the journeyer that are ready to return. The journeyer may be manifesting these disembodied parts in their present life in a number of ways, including depression, discontent, anxiety, somatic disorders, or a combination of physical and emotional distress.

Through the Soul Return process the co-journeyer can perceive many things about another the journeyer of which they themselves are not conscious. Lost memories are made available to the co-journeyer through pictures, sensations or thoughts. The co-journeyer then symbolically brings back the dissociated pieces of the soul/self/psyche and uses a specific technique to transmit them to the receiver.

Ways to recognize if you are experiencing soul loss:

~ chronic depression
~ addictions (alcohol, drugs, co-dependency, food, relationship, etc.)
~ anxiety/panic disorders
~ disassociation / "checking out" (feeling as if you are outside of your body)
~ unexplained chronic illnesses
~ feelings of emptiness, numbness, and apathy
~ rage/unexplained anger
~ persistent grief issues
~ feeling stuck in the past
~inability to fulfill your soul purpose (bring your gifts to the world)
~ disconnection from your higher power and the Spirit world
~ alienation from self and others
~ overwhelming feelings of guilt or shame
~ unreasonable fears

At Venus Rising we provide a safe and nurturing environment for participants to enter a natural altered state of consciousness that supports the process of Soul Return. We then assist in the integration of the experience with conscious awareness. Many people report a feeling of wholeness that has been missing from their lives. Others describe having a sense of "coming home" to themselves.

In addition to the training that is part of the certification process for Shamanic Breathwork ™ Facilitators, certification in shamanic soul return and extraction techniques is available to advanced students through three levels of training. Private soul return sessions are also available.
