Shamanic Soul Retrieval

Shamanic Soul Retrieval is a cross-cultural shamanic tradition, an ancient ceremony where lost parts of the soul are found, offered healing, and restored. Soul Retrieval Ceremonies have been a crucial component of my Spiritual Healing practice for over thirty years. They enhance traditional therapy and save lives. I have even witnessed instantaneous miracles. 

Why Might a Person Need a Soul Retrieval?

Psychology and Shamanism agree; trauma creates dissociation. On a psychological level, we survive trauma by dissociating. On a spiritual level, the core of psychological dissociation is soul loss. The symptoms: addiction, self-hatred, depression, memory loss, spaciness, anxiety, feeling like you don’t belong, illness, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), suicidal tendencies, insomnia, and more, are the same for both.

People spend years in various types of therapies trying to heal and break free from traumatic events, childhood conditioning, and unhealthy life patterns. Sometimes they’re successful, but too often, resolution is difficult. And while pharmaceutical companies offer medications to ease our pain, is it possible to fully heal when pieces of our souls are missing?

Dissociation and soul loss are common themes for a majority of my clients, whether they are physically ill, emotionally suffering, or energetically challenged. Shamanic Soul Retrieval is a proven way to become whole again. It facilitates physical and emotional healing, frees us from PTSD, and enhances our life force.

What is the human soul? What is soul loss? Where do dissociated parts go? How can we get them back?

Imagine a sparkling light of spirit consciousness within the center of your heart. Now look deep within and imagine that inside this light is a seed. 

Shamanic Soul Retrieval​

When a spirit incarnates into form, its unique soul-seed sprouts, grows, emerges, and emanates from our “heart/soul space” at the center of the chest, and surrounds us like a large, energy bubble.

We are spirit, within soul, within body.

When we experience trauma, part(s) of our soul detach, go to a place in another reality, and become stuck in time. This helps us survive, yet there’s a cost. Our soul-parts are multi-dimensional aspects of ourselves, and unaware that the original trauma is over, continuously relive it. This phenomenon creates PTSD because we are our soul-parts.

Imagine:

I am led to your innocent, joyful, five-year-old self wading in a bubbling stream while singing to the deer, squirrels, and raccoons, but she won’t let me bring her home to adult you if daddy is still around.

What happened at that age?

A forty-year-old, devoted mother feels an unexplained loss. On my shamanic journey for her, I am brought to the upper world where I meet a creative, ecstatic twenty-five-year-old soul-part painting on a large, brightly colored canvas. Wasn’t that when she had her first child and turned her studio into a nursery?

An eighteen-year-old part of your soul is standing on the side of the road, screaming. Is that where the car accident occurred ten years ago? Are you still afraid to drive?

A tightly swaddled newborn, frozen in shock, is all alone in the hospital nursery. My client lived without that part for her entire eighty-year life. Abandonment has been her foundational wound.

Soul loss creates a void within the soul that fills with heavy energy. And since soulular energy moves throughout the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical layers of the soul, the state of our soul affects our entire human experience.

Marc

I met Marc in Mexico through a mutual friend. He had been a Green Beret during the Vietnam War and returned home with a severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder. Marc saw countless doctors and took a myriad of prescription medications for years, but experienced little relief. No matter where he was—in bed, on the beach, at the store—Marc could not get away from the war. At his final psychiatric visit, the doctor told him, “You have the worst case of PTSD I’ve ever seen. There’s nothing we can do for you.”

During Marc’s Soul Retrieval, I was taken to a battlefield where I witnessed an adrenalin-pumping, hyper-alert, shattered soul-part. My Teacher said, “Gather all the pieces in a basket.” I called, “Marc. Come. Come.” When the

basket was full, we traveled to my healing spot and immersed all of the pieces in the healing water. After a long while, a twenty-year-old Marc—vibrant, grounded, and present—emerged. He greeted his power animal, who had been patiently waiting for him at the shoreline. Soul-part Marc was ready for Life, and I blew him and his power animal into his soul, where they belonged.

A few days later Marc said he’d slept better than he had in years. I never saw him again, although our friend told me he was back in Texas and was feeling calm. Marc was finally able to leave the war behind.

Sonja

Sonja was an active woman in her late thirties with two young children. That winter, she’d had a skiing accident that necessitated numerous surgeries, and when I met her, she had a rod in her knee and walked with a cane. Sonja was so depressed she barely spoke. 

During the Spiritual Healing, as I was channeling Light for Sonja, I realized she needed a Soul Retrieval to restore her voice. My Teacher and power animal arrived and brought me to a section of the ocean floor where iridescent fish encircled a small area. I was instructed to dig. A shovel appeared, and I soon uncovered a treasure chest. I opened the heavy lid, and the bright sparkle of dazzling jewels almost blinded me. Rubies. Emeralds. Diamonds. My Teacher said they were a manifestation of Sonja’s voice and had been buried there since she was five years old. I received the riches, called for healing, and blew Sonja’s jeweled voice directly into her physical throat.

I received a phone call from Sonja later that week. She said that she had been speaking in a

child-like voice and was concerned. “Is this ok?” she wondered. I told her to allow a few more days for the energy of her voice to harmonize within her newly refined soulscape. It took a week for Sonja to regain her adult voice. And she loved using it!

Me

In 2018, the Camp Fire of Paradise, California, destroyed my home and property, and then in 2020, the worldwide Pandemic affected everyone. During those years, the Soul Retrieval Ceremony was an important healing modality for me. I hadn’t been in Peru since 2017, but the time was finally right for my return, and in July 2023, I journeyed to my special places with a couple of friends. I was finally feeling myself.

On our first full day, we were in the woods just outside of Pisac, near a sacred ceremonial rock. Two Q’ero paqos/shamans were performing a despacho/offering ceremony to bless our trip. I’ve participated in hundreds of despacho ceremonies, each one always unique and powerful, but I’d never had an unexpected Soul Retrieval before.

Something happened within me amidst the mystery of blowing prayers into coca leaves

and placing offerings on the altar, and when we were complete, I stood up and wept deeply. Somehow, parts of my soul that I hadn’t known were missing were restored. Spontaneously. When we began the despacho, I thought I was whole, but when we completed it, I remembered myself in ways I had forgotten. It was a profound soulular restoration. A Soul Retrieval without any of the shamanic actions I was used to taking.

The Collective Human Soul

My Teacher, Ezekiel, said, “Each individuated human soul has a unique imprint, energetic signature, and vibrational current, and all combine to create the dynamic of the collective human soul. Everything individual affects the collective.”

This is not unlike the Four-Petaled Flower, where each individual petal meets in the center and combines to create the collective energy of the entire flower.

Shamanic Soul Retrieval offers us the possibility to reap the wisdom we’ve gained from traumatic experiences while leaving the trauma behind. To live in the present moment, no longer triggered by past events. When we feel whole, present, and centered and grounded in our bodies, Life opens in surprising ways.

Return to Wholeness…

This gorgeous book is a gift to the world from someone who walks the path of the wounded healer. As a friend of the author, I watched this book get birthed, though it’s gestation was many many years in the making, and included painful and difficult experiences, unique encounters and adventures, and a deep opening and surrendering to the mystical realities of who we humans really are–spirits having an earthly experience. This birthed gift comes from the very depths and soul of a woman who has not shied away from facing head on her own pain and wounding and seeking out her own healing. As a healer, one of Annie’s gifts lies in her willingness to lovingly walk side by side with anyone willing to face their own traumas and wounding. Annie’s essence permeates the pages of this beautiful book, as does the essence of her artist friend Emily Grieves, whose stunning artwork weaves its own lyrical spell. This book will move you, and in all the right ways.

I felt the power of this beautiful book by just holding it in my hands. I was touched deeply by simply thumbing through the pages, the art was moving, and the titles of the chapters hooked me. Then I read it. The wisdom in this book will shift perspectives and guide many people down a path of healing. A must read for anyone who is ready to take the next step into self-discovery.

Just holding this book, experiencing the art, reading reviews and “The Letter to You” opens me to the clear intention it was written. I then read the Afterward, Gratitude and A few Inspirations and have decided to start a mini-book-reading with my neighbor to help open myself to receive this beautiful message. Thank you Annie for the birthing of “Unity Begins Within” to assist me and others on this powerful journey.

An incredible book on spiritual healing and returning to Oneness. Annie takes us on a journey through the experience of beauty and initiation in the Four-Petaled Flower, through the flowering medicine wheel and into the Unity that exists in the center of each of us and all life. If you are going through a time of spiritual transition of growth and rebirth, and/or work with clients who do, this offering provides incredible guidance and wisdom on understanding the multilayered experience of healing that leads us to Unity.

Annie, you continue to inspire me. Our healing sessions together, and through the pages of your book, I continue to be in awe of your strength and will to heal. Soulfully written, gave me chills and the feeling that spirit is deeply ingrained in the pages of your book. Eternally grateful to have been able to experience the teachings during one of the most trialing healing moments of my life.

I read this book over the course of one week, and it was a wonderful journey from start to finish. The author embeds tales of her personal evolution as a healer within a ceremonial journey of discovering and celebrating the four-petaled flower that the reader is invited on…from the opening to the closing of the ceremony, I felt the healing power contained within the words, images, prayers, and practices. This is an incredibly moving, experiential book that will become a beloved, trusted companion to everyone on a spiritual path, whether you’re just now beginning, or have spent decades walking.

I took this book on vacation and it turned into the guidebook for my own personal spiritual retreat! Annie is obviously a talent healer. Reading the stories of some of her many clients was very inspiring. I have bookmarked many of the pages that have exercises that can be repeated. The “questions for reflection” were excellent prompts for journaling! Highly recommend this book!

Annie gives us the opportunity to view each of the four petals with a purpose of expanding our own wisdom and light through the process of soul retrieval. All of our experiences being a bridge to being of higher service on our path if we are able to make the challenging journey; unity being the goal. The unifying prayer she shares with us, “The Light of Love is All” places us gently on our path. An amazing book!

This book is a transmission of wisdom to us by an author who has walked her talk. Annie is a powerful and true healer and she is sharing the how of that with us here. From her wisdom stream and those of her teachers she unpacks our inner world and our relationship with the spirit world in ways we can understand and then gives us practical tools to apply this understanding to our own lives. This book is one of those rare books you can open any time when you need support and you will find it here. This book is a love letter from the author to us at a time when we need it.

This is the spiritual book we all need for these new times. Annie Fuller’s spiritual teachings come from a lifetime of experience, both as the healer and the healed. The personal stories (both hers and others’) are captivating and so relatable. The artwork is inspiring. And the opportunities to put the healing methods into practice are priceless. I wish this book had been on the shelves for me 35 years ago. But I am happy to have it now. There is a depth and heart in this book that I have not found elsewhere. I will be buying more copies for friends and family. Everyone is getting it for their birthdays and Christmas this year.

UNITY BEGINS WITHIN is a beautifully written exploration of one woman’s journey into the memory, trust and knowing of Self. Annie Fuller weaves seemingly separate puzzle pieces of humanity together in a comprehensive way that is not only easy to understand but to inner-stand. The experience felt while reading this book is one of being immersed in Sacred Circle, sage burning, drum rhythmically beating while our guides and guardians surround us. Questions asked. Questions answered. A conscious merging of the human self with spiritual essence. An awakening to the heart and soul felt realization that Unity truly DOES begin within. This book is a divinely guided adventure and welcoming home to the Self.

I have had the joy of learning from Annie over many years, being in her healing room, at her altar and several of her workshops. This book is another potent transmission of her deep wisdom and gifts. She invites you into the ceremony of the four petaled flower through her writing, and if you allow yourself to receive this transmission, it can alter your experience of life. I would suggest this book to anyone who is ready to receive the gifts of the four petal flower, and the indigenous wisdom this book has to offer. The exercises at the end of each chapter allows you to dig deep, have your own experience, your own personal journey!

This book is a rare gem, in that the author has crafted it in such a way that complex concepts are made easy to understand and utilize in the reader’s lives. Annie Fuller combines Shamanic wisdom, life experience, healing practices, and practical know- how seamlessly, and the book is beautiful as well. I knew I was going to enjoy this book when I bought it but it has exceeded my expectations and has become a powerful source for healing and reflection.

Our ancestors and ancient teachers continue to teach us, if we listen. What a joy to read a book written by a masterful listener and keen observer. Annie Fuller is no armchair shaman. Annie Fuller put in the thousands of hours of study and practice in order to teach and serve. This book is a powerful, powerful synthesis of a lifetime of gathering wisdom, failure, joy, trauma, healing, tragedy and rapture. I am honored to have birthed my first born child with Annie Fuller as midwife. She is one of those rare humans who can hold death and birth in her hands, all the while teaching us with her presence. This book will give the reader sweet impetus to expand in consciousness and flex in vulnerability.

Within the pages of this exquisite tome penned by a venerable elder lies a treasure trove of wisdom waiting to be unearthed. Each word, carefully crafted, resonates with the depth of a lifetime’s worth of experiences and insights. From the first page to the last, readers are invited on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, guided by the gentle yet profound teachings of a master storyteller. This book is not merely a collection of words; it is a beacon of light illuminating the path toward greater understanding, compassion, and inner peace. Through its pages, readers will find themselves inspired to embark on their own journey of deep excavation, unlocking the hidden truths that lie within. A truly exceptional read that will linger in my heart and mind for years to come.

Yes, a lifeline to knowledge that I can understand. I have read and owned many like subject books, this Unity Begins Within hit my Spiritual healing button. I would recommend this book highly. This does follow Annie Fuller’s journey and how we can open up ourselves. My book is totally highlighted, pages tagged, etc. Thank you Annie Fuller for your book and sharing so much, I’m sure a lot of people can relate.

Many tears were shed while reading Unity Begins Within. Overall, my tears said this: “we, collectively, are so blessed to receive Annie Fuller’s words.” Knowing Annie in real life, my spiritual landscape has been greatly enhanced by her presence and leadership in Shamanic Journeying Workshops. Now we have a chance to read the evolution and deep knowing she has gained with her extraordinary openness and intuition as she practiced with her powerful teachers. She takes us on her physical journeys to mystical points south as well as introduces us to her spiritual worlds. This book is for anyone- as it is the balm of unity we need in these divisive times, but especially poignant, I would imagine, for those who have suffered personal trauma. Annie’s transformation from abused/confused child to gifted Shaman is one worthy of a deep bow of respect.The detail of Annie’s journey is a must-have for anyone interested in Native American Spirituality, Shamanism or, Physical and Spiritual Healing or Channeling Work. My hope and prayer is that many people will receive this message of love and unity.

What an extraordinary book, beautifully capturing a healer’s transformative journey toward true inner knowing and helping others discover that profound insight within themselves! I feel immensely grateful to have stumbled upon this gem, and I am eagerly looking forward to internalizing its wisdom and practicing to cultivate my own intuition and inner knowing. Thank you so much, Annie!

AMAZING!!! Thank you, Annie, for taking the time to share this with the world and thank you to all your guides and teachers and friends and those you have encountered along your journey that helped you to create and share this beautiful, creatively put together, life story!

What an absolutely amazing offering by Annie Fuller! This is a masterful creation that offers so much healing to the world! Annie beautifully and poignantly weaves personal story with tangible lessons in spiritual healing. This is a must-read for all who are seekers of deeper understanding on their healing path, whether in service to your own heart or to others. As Annie writes, we all walk the two-footed path – sometimes the lessons are to help others, and sometimes the lessons are so we may tend to our own souls. Here in these pages you will find a balm for your soul no matter what!

Unity Begins Within is a book with essential messages for all healers and those on the path of seeking wholeness. I was very blessed to have been in Annie’s first hands-on healing series. She was always a gifted teacher/healer and now author. This book is a source of lessons, wisdom and merging our human self with our spiritual essence. Annie’s stories and teachings come from her innate understanding of the spiritual universe we all come from and connect with. Emily’s artwork is awe-inspiring and beautiful. I recommend this book for all healers, teachers and everyone seeking wholeness.

Unity Begins Within is stunning in its purity and transparency. Annie Fuller is a gifted writer – articulate, straight, full of warmth and spirit. She has the rare ability to be deeply personal while making every word count.One of the reasons this book is so  profoundly well written is that Annie lives Unity. She is the very essence of generosity of spirit. Her writing and teachings come from a depth of experience, understanding and knowledge that shines with truth, courage and love. She brings a depth and intention to her teaching and writing that is rare, precious, priceless.

Endless praise and appreciation for this remarkable book!

The power of this book has infused my soul with an unanticipated sense of wholeness. Every word of this book is a Spiritual Healing. Stunning.

Annie’s book is wonderful. Clear, direct, candid in sharing her personal story. Deep in understanding and transmitting the nature of healing. most important, leads the reader through practices should they choose to do them. I have many spiritual books and books transmitting healing traditions. This one is valuable. For anyone genuinely looking to heal, become centered and grounded in personal power.

This book is such a jewel – A treasure chest of wisdom, stories and tools for sharing in the wondrous path that Annie has walked, and that will ultimately enhance anyone’s life who reads it.The writing is pure, clear and full of depth of spirit and emotion. Annie makes the incredible knowledge she has amassed so accessible. I am so grateful to have this beautiful work in my possession.

Unity Begins Within: Spiritual Healing Meets the Four-Petaled Flower is a beautifully written and illustrated book that weaves together stories of awakening, spiritual pilgrimage, vulnerability, and healing. I was deeply moved as I read it. The medicine of the Four- Petaled Flower, introduced by the author, guides the reader on a path of exploration and experiences that I found Transformational. Reading this book was a life shifting experience, and I know I will continue to refer to it in the days and years to come.

Annie Fuller, Shaman, Healer, Teacher, Author, brings all of her talents together in this beautiful book of Unity. The profound art of Emily K. Grieves is a perfect partner in bringing forth the message of “Unity Begins Within.” This is a book you will want to display and look through often, for both its spiritual messages and extraordinary works of art. As the title tells us, this is a book of spiritual healing through recognizing that we are all united as one being, and we will wake up from our collective amnesia when we understand that the unity we seek begins within each of us. Annie uses the image of the four-petaled flower as a compass for the four directions. Each direction gives us a template for finding power within ourselves; and, thus the healing process begins.

I needed to change my life 9 years ago. I found my way to Healing Quest with Annie Fuller: a 10 day vision quest. My life completely changed after that. Now her wisdom gathered from a lifetime is distilled into this fantastic book. Make no mistake. Your life WILL change into your next vision as Annie unfolds loving methods and magical ways to find unity within!

In this book of unity; the offerings, teachings, and practices are all woven through and around Annie’s amazing personal stories. This entertaining flow makes it hard to put down. Not to mention the gorgeous, sacred artwork, cohesively uniting the words with images in a soulful and visceral way. A book for the nightstand for sure! Or the coffee table! Annie is not only a gifted and generous writer, she’s also a phenomenal teacher with amazing healing gifts for the soul. I had the privilege of taking a class with her as well as receiving a soul healing through her. I love having this book within my reach now. A piece of Annie’s heart is held within each page. Always there when I need the deepest wisdom from the wisest friend! I know you will love this book and cherish it forever!

I came to know Annie when I was searching online for a Shamanic healer in my area. Little did I know that I was about to receive one of the biggest blessings of my life. Myself and my family have since referred to Annie and have undergone healing sessions by her. I have also read her amazing book which, at the time, I wished would never finish. Annie is a healer like no other on this planet and her sessions have been life changing for me. Her book describes her own healing journey as well as her insight about soul and how our lives can be affected by past traumas. Reading this book took me on a journey where I actually felt present through all the healing adventures Annie went through. This is a book that if you start reading you don’t want it to finish as there is so much wisdom present in this book. I hope to read more books from Annie in the future. She is a wise woman with an old, experienced soul. It was a great privilege to have been able to receive actual healings from her. Myself & my family can never thank her enough. Thank you for existing in our world Annie! You truly make a difference in people’s lives.
