Here are the basic ingredients for creating your own meditation/visualization Soul Retrieval journey:

  • Imagine yourself walking through a spring-like field into a dark cave.
  • The deeper you go into the cave, the deeper you find yourself descending into yourself.
  • Along the way, you see a light in the distance. You keep walking, and the light keeps getting bigger.
  • Sometimes, during your cave walk, you find objects. These objects represent different parts of yourself. For example, you might find a box of matches that represents your rage, a broken doll that represents your inner child, and a paintbrush that represents your lost inner artist.

  • Collect all of these items in the bag you have with you. Don’t worry, the bag can hold everything, no matter how big or small, that you find. (Also, it’s not necessary to know precisely what each object represents. You can think about this afterward).
  • Eventually, you reach the light which consumes the whole tunnel – this white light is your Soul.
  • Take the objects in your bag and throw them, one by one, into the light. Each of these objects/parts of you will be immediately reintegrated once they dissolve within the light.
  • Once you have let go of the last object, breathe deeply, and feel yourself being revitalized by this newfound increased wholeness and inner harmony.

  • Next, when you’re ready, step into the light, breathe deeply, and allow it to radiate through your entire body, binding with your cells, your DNA, permeating through all parts of your being.
  • Then, open your eyes. Return to the room. Take a few minutes to reflect on what you’ve experienced. I encourage you to journal about what you’ve undergone.
