What is Soul loss?

From a shamanic healing journey point of view, whenever we experience trauma, a part of our vital essence separates from us to survive the experience by escaping the full impact of the pain. With every cut and wound, our essence and vitality grow weaker. This process is called Soul Loss.

Soul Loss is also known, in psychological terms, as dissociation. It’s what happens when we become disconnected from the very core of ourselves, the source of our vitality: our Soul.

There’s a difference between the shamanic perspective and the modern perspective of Soul Loss:

-In the shamanic worldview, the Soul can be fragmented, even travel to other dimensions, and get lost.

-In the shamanic worldview, the Soul can be fragmented, even travel to other dimensions, and get lost.

If you go through a traumatic experience and feel like you’ve changed, that soul loss probably occurred.

Once soul loss has occurred, you may not even be aware of what has happened and only notice a lack of happiness and joy.

This is why I created the name SoulCompact. As I retrieve those lost soul fragments to complete your soul. Compact your soul to impact your life.

“Soul loss happens very quietly and takes the form of a constant feeling and experience of disconnection, not feeling complete, feeling lost, etc.”

It is important to note, addictions whether it’s substance abuse, food, shopping, gambling, financial, or sexual are also a sign of soul loss.These are only a small selection of the total possible feelings we carry when we disconnect from our Souls – that vital spark of life within us.

What Causes of Soul Loss

Experiences that may contribute to soul loss include:

Any form of abuse (sexual, emotional, physical or mental)
Prolonged grief, pain or fear that made you feel helpless
Deep-seated addictions (substance dependency, eating, etc.)
A near-death or out-of-body experience
Being forced to act against your morals or values
An experience of intense rejection or abandonment
Witnessing the unexpected death of someone
A sudden and shocking experience
Entering a relationship without strong personal boundaries, resulting in an unhealthy relationship and loss of personal power
An accident

Soul Loss initially happens to protect you rather than to hurt you. It’s a natural protective mechanism.

Think of animals in the wild like deer, squirrels, or polar bears. They use the ‘freeze’ response to play dead and preserve their lives (because predators can’t detect still prey).

However, at some point, we must shake off this freeze response – if we don’t, trauma follows. Soul Loss deepens.

The same thing occurs with Soul Loss: it’s a way for the mind to avoid the overwhelming suffering associated with trauma. Just as in animals, freezing (or losing touch with the openness of the Soul), is a natural analgesic.

In other words, when we neglect to reconnect with our Soul fragments we are left with a chronic feeling of unwholeness.

Eventually, the result may be battling ongoing issues such as anxiety, depression, immune deficiency problems, suicidal tendencies, various mental illnesses, and grief that refuses to .

To piece back together ourselves, we need to actively ‘retrieve’ the lost fragments of our Soul.
Once we’ve recovered these lost pieces, we can experience many benefits such as:
