Daily rituals are practices that will help you maintain the core of your energy body. This keeps your body, mind, and Soul functioning as effectively as possible. This exercise for the Soul helps you stay grounded, decisive, truthful to your path, and loving while maintaining your boundaries.

Taoist teachings call this “yin” time. A period of reflection, nourishing, and coalescing. In indigenous cultures this is often the time of storytelling and gathering around the fire. Coming together internally and collectively. I like to use the word contracting because that’s the way the body often feels.

My definition of integration: “The feelings, thoughts, and embodiment of being in alignment with one’s True Soul Self.” People feel better when they feel whole. I see this time and time again. They show up differently in the world. They are more likely to live their true purpose because they know their true purpose.

The elements form us and guide us. They create a container and open the container. They make us and teach us. Giving daily gratitude to the elements can help you harmonize with natural forces. And elemental rituals can be used for those who need to balance any deficiencies and excesses in their lives.

If you have an intuitive sense that you’re holding onto something that is not yours, feel disconnected from your body, have emotions that don’t seem to match the intensity of the experience, feel constantly fatigued, you may have mistakenly and subconsciously connected with an entity that is not yours. Contact a shamanic practitioner for help.

So, what is soul loss? When there is trauma, emotional overwhelm, illness, surgery, a serious accident, intense shock, or grief, among others, the soul MAY become fragmented or dis-integrated.

Indigenous people do not have words for anxiety or depression. They use terms such as soul loss and possession.

Shamanic healing addresses all components of being human--thoughts, emotions, body sensations, energy, and soul. There are various modalities used in shamanic healing that are summed up in the 3 R's--release, restoration, and reconnection.

Setting an intention is a great way to focus on what you want. Once you ingest the medicine, state your intention, and then let it go. The spirit is an ancient and wise teacher who often takes people to places they weren’t considering. In Western culture we're so wired to think linearly, but that’s often the reason people get stuck. The medicine thinks outside the box and opens doorways to paths novel or forgotten.

A common refrain I hear from people after a psychedelic experience is a much deeper embodied sense of who they are. It is a homecoming.

The marginalized self no longer takes your life force, your Authentic Self strengthens, and you become more aligned with who you really are.

Developing a healthy and powerful energy body is an important step in working with challenging parts of yourself.
