gbenard:

Let’s talk about Soul Retrieval, or how to bring your lost self back to you.

The lost, or the split of one’s soul, happens more often than you’re aware.

This split of a soul can happen for many reasons, and some of the times when we are somehow defenceless, like when we’re children or teenagers… when we experience loss and too much time in grief; near death experience; when we go through traumatic experiences, including abuse either emotional, psychological or physical; a sudden accident, etc.

The causes can’t be more diverse…
You might even have experienced memory loss when you try to remember a traumatic event. That is our consciousness filtering the moment so you don’t suffer more with that memory.

But now it might be time to do what we shamans call Soul Retrieval: to bring your lost soul back to yourself… so you can be one and whole again.

gbenard:

10 years ago, a self-portrait: “Octopus Head” from the Oneness series - One day, after my 3 days of brain death, I left to the country side to create dialogues. To reconnect in Oneness. With the wood. The trees, the mud. The plants growing. The smell and all the senses renewed day after day. I started dancing again, dancing rituals of life. Dancing rites of death. Dancing stars and infinite skies. Feeling the mud underneath my bare foot. The air feeding the fire feeding the earth feeding the water feeding me. Dancing as air as water as earth as fire. Feeling the eagle’s wings, the wool’s warmth, the wolf’s heart, the horse’s power as a steady rock. Feeling myself in nature. As a wizard, a shaman, a bonpo… a wise being feeling nature as it is. Without labels. Without boundaries. A hybrid of many lives. In Oneness. Being death. Being rebirth. Being alive. Being life. Being One.

gbenard: The Darkness that you fear? It’s within you, it might...

gbenard:

The Darkness that you fear? It’s within you, it might be disguised, but it’s fear itself.

In ancient cultures, from deep Africa to Eastern Shamanism, Celtic paganism, Native American or Amazon shamans… darkness is embraced, not like modern religions: there is a real connection with nature and its wisdom, not a twisted profitable organised religion man made.

I often hear from my clients that they are afraid of the dark entities, and that some of them fear doing soul retrieval because they’re afraid of “whoever-dark” will come up.
And because I’ve been having people contacting me asking if I’m a “black shaman” being able to spell curses on others, and do harm to someone else, I ended up saying that I am a white shaman, which, even if you don’t know what it is, gives light and love to it, since “White is the light – Black is the evil”.

But the fact is that Shamanism has no colours: actual shamanism is meant to heal, to vision, to connect. And if we have to deal with dark entities, we’re sure that they will come as protectors… the fear you have then is nonsense, and worst: it might damage or blind you. Not the dark entities, but the fear itself. Fear is your own private dark entity, mostly due to religious beliefs deepened within our society…

gbenard: When you fear, for example when you fear not being in...

gbenard:

When you fear, for example when you fear not being in control, you’re giving power to fear itself, you’re losing the control itself. You’re not in control anymore. When you fear, you’ll be stuck in the mid way of your jump. You will not jump, or you’ll fall. Your fear will cut the landing, or will land yourself on the wrong place. You might feel safer, that that will not take you where you wanted to go. You’re cheating. Or worst than that: you’re cheating yourself. You’re giving yourself excuses to hide your fear.
Forgive yourself. For the moments you didn’t jump. For the moments you gave power to others. For the moments that you gave in to your fears. For the moments you lied and cheated yourself. Feel yourself free then. Allow yourself to go where you want.
Today is the day that you should trust your courage.
Today is the best day for you to forgive yourself.
You’re the only one responsible for your own life achievements, and that is also a matter of self-respect.
Have yourself a good landing!

gbenard:

I’m often asked when did I start my journey as a Shaman. Not only I remember perfectly well the moment of my birth, but I started my journey at very young age… by escaping to the forest to just lie down there and listen to Earth’s frequency connecting to my mind’s frequency, but also encouraged by my father whenever I had “visitors” asking me for help… the spirits, or entities, that I see since very young age, I learned how to connect with them by welcoming them, listening to them and helping the best way I could. This led me to have their guidance through all my life. So, since young child I allowed myself to be a totem, a connection between the Earth’s core and the cosmic consciousness. My first awareness of life was that in fact everything is energy, all is frequency, we’re all connected.
