Feel depressed after soul retrieval-help!

[Bluerat]

 I am a new student to shamanism and I love it. 

About a month ago, I had my first soul retrieval with an experienced healer. It was a powerful experience for me and I felt great the day I wrapped it up. However, since then, my moods have been very up and down and I’ve had a lot of memories from the past coming up and stirring me. I feel very out of sorts and depressed a lot these days. I was expecting to feel better and not worse! Is it normal for things to be a bit out of sorts before they improve? If so, how long does it take?

Hi Bluerat,

We don't do soul retrieval healings per se, we have a different way of working with that type of healing. However, I think you might benefit from doing some grounding work on yourself. The easiest way to do this is to literally connect with the earth, sit on the ground beneath a tree or somewhere. If that isn't an option and you have access to rocks outside, find some that feel agreeable with you and bring them home, sit with them, ask them to help ground you. You can also try eating some root vegetables - carrots, potatoes, etc. as they can have a grounding effect. 

I would try some of these methods and see if they help. If it doesn't, come back and we'll try something else but it should help.
