Aura Toning x Soul Retrieval

Dear Being of Water & Light,

Have you ever felt disconnected from who you are?

Shamanic teacher and author of Soul Retrieval; Mending the Fragmented Self, Sandra Ingerman, describes the concept of Soul Retrieval as going into the spirit world to retrieve a part of your soul that may have become "lost" through the challenges of life.

When something traumatic, fragmenting or scary happens, a piece of the spirit may go into hiding in order to survive the trauma, and the person experiences something known as "soul loss."

The person may feel a sense of lost vitality, or feel that their essence has become separate from themselves.

According to shamanic teachings, soul loss can happen due to a spectrum of events, ranging from deeply personal to collective, and can happen many times in someone's lifetimes to varying degrees.

This is my opinion, (and it may sound dramatic...) but it seems to me like we live in a time where we are constantly being tempted to lose (or give up) a piece of our soul. Some examples of this are us being told to bypass our body's needs in order to follow a certain beauty standard, or putting an obsession with money, status or fame over life, or even institutional education telling young people to stop dreaming.

In Shamanic Healing, a healer can assist folks in Soul Retrieval by guiding them to the spirit world to retrieve and bring their soul back into their body, helping the individual feel whole again.

As someone who has experienced this process, I have learned that while these sessions are incredibly helpful, "toning the aura" is essential to keep the soul strong and maintain a state of wellness. 

While the spirit is indestructible, the soul needs to be cleansed, blessed, and protected. ...And this is simpler than most of us may think.

When we learn to integrate our consciousness with our spirit we will find that not only is our spirit strong enough to guide our soul home, but is our infinite source of protection to keep our souls in tact. We can integrate our conciousness with our spirit both with our energy hygiene practices, (like cleansing the body and aura,) and with through integral actions.

Are you consuming in integrity with your sensitivity? Do you speak words or make promises you truly feel like you can follow through on, without betraying yourself? Are you speaking authentically or are you mirroring those around you?

So much of my deepest healing has come from asking myself these questions.

It can be easy to forget how precious it is to be incarnated into a body. Ancient yogic texts mention how this human experience is highly coveted in the spiritual realm... that many, many souls are desperate to incarnate onto earth, and very few actually get the opportunity to. 

I remind myself of this whenever I need to remember that the stewardship of this body for this time on earth is a great gift, and responsibility. 

Cleansing the body, mind and aura regularly helps connect us to our incorruptible light at our core, and in turn, strengthens our spirit. This is why what makes Aura Toning different than other workouts, because we are cultivating our bodies as temples of our essence. 

The physical sensations of the workout help us connect to the tangible body, the lymphatic clearing helps us remove the clouds of the past, and the emphasis on water and light helps us cultivate the spirit through the physical. 

But it is important to remember that what we do on the mat is an enhancement for how we live in the world...

Be water...
Breathe- move with the rhythm of light
Strengthen your spine
Cultivate the light of your core
Listen inwardly
Be present with your movements
Stretch, but gently and without force

If we can apply what we do in our movement practice to how we make choices and live our lives, we restore our soulfulness. Our eyes brighten, our auras grow, we feel full of life and vitality.

If you feel like you may be needing a soul retrieval, I’d love to support you through this threshold. While I am not a shaman and my method is a bit different, I am living proof of how much it can change you. The Aura Toning Cleanse may be a great resource for you to get started. Read about it here to see if it may be right for you.

In Love & Water,
Rianne
