Greetings ,
This retrieval is the first I've had where I got to go with the helpers to place the retrievee at a focus level. I'm trusting them more and more to let us learn this at our own pace. And always something new. It's also in my series 'if I can do it, anyone can.'

I spent more time on my preparation because I'd only done one far from home before. (I assumed I'd be going to India or Iraq.)  So I prayed and set my intent that the situation be do-able for my experience and that we be protected. I lifted out the top of my head and nothing felt like it got caught or tangled. Someone said 'you can go up or down...'  Before I asked if I could go sideways the sense of motion stopped.

My last R. experience had very bright colors and focus, so I was surprised when 3 huddled unmoving figures emerged from a tan mist as we 3 approached. They were tan too, dark haired, and could have been from anywhere--2 adults huddled with a baby wrapped in a simple small blanket.  
Someone said 'Sarni' or 'Sorry.'
"Are they all dead?' I asked.  'Just the infant.  You can take her now.' So I stepped forward and held out my arms, saying "it's time to send her on to a better place.' Not very subtle , no dialogue, they looked like they were very tired, maybe in shock. They handed me the bundle and it felt so light I didn't think any baby was here but it was. I started to say more to the parents about the better place was like a park, but we lifted off before I could hand the baby over to any guide. As we left they seemed alone---?

With a helper at either side there was a sense of motion for quite awhile, longer than I'm used to anyway. The light was not very bright but strong enough to see soft colors. We landed facing a row of what looked like sunporches,(no houses attached) each with different roofs and each with a different center door, windows to either side. A nurse came out of one and took the little bundle from me. I stepped back thinking the soul wrapped there might expand now to its ideal form, which I assumed was about 30--35 y o., but someone said, 'no, she just wants to be a baby for awhile. She wants to be taken care of'.
I started to turn around to see if a park behind us had a playground, but then what do newborn infants need with playgrounds?
I was startled then to wake from a dream about a friend getting me a job to teach summer school, an anxiety dream I get each summer. I thought the whole thing might have been a dream but checked the clock and saw I'd been gone/under/out for over an hour.
I think it was a retrieval because i was at several points thinking one thing would happen and simultaneously another thing did.
However if you think not, please let me know.
thanks, bets

Fantastic retrieval Bets. Don't ever doubt yourself. Each retrieval is different.  From what I've read in "The Stars Still Shine" book, babies go to what is called in that book the DR (diaper ranch). And they grow at a rate 3 times faster than on the earth plane.  I highly recommend the book. It shows how the different focus levels are basically next to each other with just a change in focus.

Love, Mairlyn ;-)

Thank you, Mairlyn,
I appreciate your confirmation very much! ( I forgot to ask for PUL for the parents tho.)  I googled The Stars Still Shine and got a song and newsletter listing for one of the Beatles. ?? Do you have any more information on the book?
Love, bets

If you could send me your email address, I could send you an ezine so you can see what it's like.

Hi Bets,
to me that looks like a retrieval. There's this feeling of familiarity within me reading your experience. I'm quite happy about it! You were in a team with helpers and you could bring the baby "up", and see her new place. I guess from now on you can have more easier conscious retrievals if you want so. At least, this was the case with me. After the first one, many followed within a short time.

Spooky

congratulations on your successful retrieval Bets. is this your second one or do you have more that you remember could be retrievals? I like the way you can see color and sense movement. love, alysia

This is so interesting im not quite sure what to say.

Thank you,
Your replies mean alot to me.
Alysia, you're right, this is my second retrieval using Bruce's methods. I came here originally because I was doing retrievals using my third eye. Something spooky said changed my third eye and I'm glad, and after that change, Bruce's methods just took over. I much prefer Bruce's method because I can see what's going on  :) and some soreness is gone.  
I have no doubt that what comes next will be amazing, Caryn. I'm in awe of what is revealed and taught by you all. Helping to clear up the energies that might block PUL is a great honor. Not that PUL needs help  ::)
PUL to you all
