I was teaching by doing the night before last.........on "soul-retrieval". What I do is show a person how to regress themself using a tape recorder to record all the images seen and shared while I guide her through a basic set of images.
When we went inside an enormous eagle met us and swept us on its back to bring us through the skies to a field with an old hollow tree. She met with her panther but panther said she would not go with us.
In an earlier exchange I noticed she uses a hollow tree for an image of "home". Thus we used it as a jumping off point to go back in the mind-time-line to search for lost images of herself..........down through the roots to an opening which revealed a dark underworld where she found a cave with a trinity of little ghostly shapes of "hers" who she drew together as "1" after certaining they were her through identification of the same earring each was wearing. The morphing into one image was then drawn into her by a "drawing of a breath". This was done outside the cave's mouth. Had I done the "restoring" I'd have simply placed cupped hands over the heart to blow into her. It is a powerful placebo effect. When this was completed she rose back up through the roots and up through the trunk until she spied another opening......
Outside this opening was a sixteen year old standing on an empty street in a large city sobbing from being left alone. We take her inside the same way AFTER we stop the crying. It's simple placebo again. A strong command, "stop crying ! we are here to bring you back to us...will you come ? " asked with a smile and open arms...... so of course she agrees.
There was nothing else so we came back through the portal to "real time".
The eagle and a muskrat came with us as we came into "real time". I found him (muskrat) at the kitchen table with us after the circle was closed....sneaky bugger. They will stay with her in external imagery until she "owns" their medicine. Then she will see them no more unless she needs a reminder at a future point in time.
The "3 images of her little girl are three times she felt absolutely lost as a small child and left alone in "the dark".....
The 16 year old is all the trouble she went through to get her family into counseling for alchohol and drugs in Calgary.........only to have her Mother walk out of the session and leave her on the streets. Then her Mother and Father divorced. I'd say she's had a tough life as a child.

Yikes !!! nothing like jumping in the water to see if the whole thing will float.
The Carlos Castaneda Don Juan experience is in much of the continent's shamanic lore. Your experience is reminiscent of some spirit journeys in "Tales of Power", where only the wise are afraid :o)
True wisdom is never afraid of the "otherworlds"......ask yourself this Otis.......what is the meaning of the "angel" who stands at every rung on "Jacob's Ladder" ? If such is metaphor for "message"...then isn't it probable that the message is merely the "readiness" of the mind/body to travel in "spirit" ?
i so wish i lived closer to you. i'd love to explore this in person with you...
Good heavens! Poor girl. I'm so glad you are there to help her. I agree with Shadow - how I wish I lived closer to you!
First of all ....neither of you need be physically closerthough I'd love to live in close proximity to both of you.
However.... that may or may not make it easier to accept. Most of our background makes us doubt what we see in 'theta' level meditations..(visualizing). Time to recognize our efforts to change our attitudes is the single largest factor herein.
The old art of soul retrieval is like doing a regression hypnosis session for someone and recording your thoughts as you prompt and record their answers. You don't need a "guide"...but you do need the confidence to try and continue practicing. Acquire literature on the subject and once you've read the stories of actual retrievals...study the contextual aspects in comparison to your own intuition and how self-hypnosis/auto-suggestion works. There is no "mystery" to this stuff and what you find hidden in the folds of memory must be nurtured to fruition in attitude change.
mmmm, i think trusting my instincts would hold me back in doing it myself...
that, may be, Shadow. It is common among all of us who seek to 'know'.
The fact is never 'fact'....just transient fiction....but we're taught that life is 'fact' and it makes 'knowing' quite problematic until enough of 'life's transience'
has proved itself to be such. Once a person recognizes this inconsistent and impermanent view as correct......and it is a lengthy process for we are drilled since before birth with the senses and so-called logic that our lives are immutable in one way or another......we become philosophers and in that way we can learn to walk any talk we wish. All philosophy is true to the extent of it being a 'postulate'....so if you choose the most open philosopphy you can find......then 'believing' begins in the way it serves us best. If you wish to reference anything with me Shadow send email via spottedwolf4@gmail.com. I will be happy to help.
Hmmm.......... fascinating. A bit beyond my understanding but fascinating.I have much to learn. Thats one of the things life is about, continuing to learn.
To help others is to help ourselves. But, you already knew that. Thank you for what you 'teach' us here.
All ways welcome Holly....always too.
That is a really interesting post. Thank You.
you're welcome and ..... Welcome.
