A metaphysical viewpoint highlights the
philosophy that there is a part within us all which exists forever! This part is
thought to transcend space and time. It survives within us during its sojourn on numerous
material incarnations, and continues to evolve through subsequent spiritual
planes. It cannot be seen with the naked eye, yet it may be recognized when we connect deeply and honestly with living beings in heart centered, selfless ways...
This part is the Soul, and its essence...which we are all thought to be continuously, and forever reckoning
with, on personal and collective levels ~ whether we are aware of it or not.
Our souls are believed
to enter the physical world ~ enveloped in animate forms which vary from incarnation
to incarnation ~ motivated to embark upon their respective missions. However,
due to various traumas in the current life, and different types of past life residue occurring
on multiple levels (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), a thing known as soul loss can begin to occur, which
can lead to a severing of our spiritual connection to the things most vitally, and creatively pleasing to
us, ultimately resulting in a dispossession, or obscuring of personal happiness. Because we live
in a world in which significant trauma exists, it makes sense to understand that there may
be a great number of us walking around the planet suffering from soul loss…
For many of us, the conscious decision
to pursue a journey to joy comes hand in hand with an inordinate amount of soul searching. Quite literally, this is when
the individual impacted by soul loss engages in an endeavor to look for the
missing pieces of his/her soul while coming to the realization that sustainable
happiness can only happen when one engages in pursuits which are in line with
the soul’s destination. Not everyone experiencing soul loss chooses to address
its occurrence in this lifetime; however, those of us who consciously decide to
embark upon a personal quest for authentic happiness should be aware that we
are simultaneously opening up the doors to a period of spiritual transition
like no other.
Some of the things we can expect to
encounter during a transition of this type are extreme (often painful) changes
on different levels. Changes at the cellular and physiological stage are often
noticed first, and may include aching joints, muscle spasms and notable
tiredness as significant energy is expended, the symptoms of which are consistently
unverifiable through medical or scientific means. Changes at the cognitive
stage may encompass confusion, frustration and intense anxiety as the conflicted
soul begins to reject any and every path which is believed to be inconsistent
with its integrity. On an emotional level we may find ourselves experiencing
profound sadness, as we abandon and mourn the parts of ourselves (and our lives) which have
outlived their usefulness.
The spiritual level is perhaps the most
important, with regard to the process of restoring our propensity for
happiness, and is also the level which is most affected during a
spiritual transition. Individuals afflicted on this level tend to find themselves feeling like there is no place within the Universe that they fit in, and the harder they strive to find their niche (often within a revved up ego state), the more despair they find themselves in alongside their perceptions that it is nowhere to be found.
Because we live in
a world which is fraught with illusion, finding our “right” place(s) in it
can threaten to become demoralizing. It is
important to realize through the struggle that our place in the world can and will be found as we begin to listen to, and employ the spiritual insights gained during the
transition process. Such insights are specifically meaningful to the particular
individual who is experiencing them. During a spiritual transition we can
empower ourselves to help facilitate our own recovery by striving to fight the
impulse to turn away from our own spiritual beliefs and connectedness; this impulse can sometimes be very strong.
The preceding types of experiences are sometimes referred to as a “healing crisis”.

Through their work
as healing agents, soul retrievers and past life seers, authentic shamans can sometimes offer a
more direct route to recovery of soul pieces, thus offering external support
during the spiritual transition process.
Remember: There is indeed a spiritual benefit attached
to being happy! When we are truly happy,
like a magnificent ripple effect our vibrational energy rises, adding to the
collective consciousness of the world in a way that restores health and
healing, not only to ourselves, but to every living thing around us.
