Could Soul Loss Be the Hidden Cause of Your Suffering?

Jan Engels-Smith explains that shamanism is fundamentally about healing, connection to the unseen, and shifting perspective to see with the heart. She clarifies common misconceptions, noting it is not about darkness or tribal costumes, but rather an ancient modality for energy management and spiritual alignment.

The discussion covers how shamanic knowledge is passed down. While some were traditionally chosen at birth, in modern times, dedicated training and consistent 'sitting in the high vibe' are necessary to develop one's ability to communicate with spirit and the divine mind.

Jan explains that many emotional struggles stem from soul loss, where pieces of one's consciousness detach due to trauma. Shamanic soul retrieval involves an practitioner entering an altered state to locate and return these pieces, facilitating true wholeness and health.

Julie Ryan and Jan discuss the transition of the soul at the end of life. They share experiences regarding end-of-life care, focusing on how spirits detach from the body during the dying process, and emphasize that fear of death is often a product of conditioning rather than reality.

Jan reflects on the 21st-century evolution of shamanism, moving away from harsh ancient traditions toward a more loving and integrated approach. She emphasizes that developing a spiritual practice is a lifestyle, requiring consistent engagement rather than one-time workshops.
