Over the many years of aiding in retrievals I can never get use to the energy around such devastation created from the numerous natural disasters and wars we are experiencing. Standing consciously in the presents of the shattered world of our Chinese neighbors, I focused on a pile of ruble that once was an apartment complex. I sent my intent to not see the ruble there and help release anyone that was still trapped in spirit, (this technique is one taught by Bruce Moen) immediately a mother and daughter came up off the ground and stood at my side. I turned and lead them to some helpers that appeared as first aid workers, welcoming them into a tent. Turning back to the devastation I proceeded to the next pile of ruble and saw it not there, out of the corner of my eye I caught some movement. Turning I saw a child standing next to me in spirit. She gave me the energy impression that she was waiting for her family. I returned my focus to the pile of ruble and made it disappear. Several more people released and walked over by us. The little girl at my side preceded to lead a small group of people off towards the helpers. As I continued focusing on piles I noticed more and more children in spirit waiting. As each group was freed from the ruble the waiting children took what felt like family members on to the helpers.

I am sure some of the children where helpers, but I also felt some of the children where victims of the earthquake and where waiting for family members before they would move on.  Experiencing this touched me deeply and answered a question I carried with me for years. "What is the purpose of during retrievals??"

For a couple of years I stop consciously doing retrieval work. Everytime a disaster happened or I heard of more soldiers being killed in wars, I felt like a doctor or nurse that drives by an accident with injured people waiting for help. The answer to my question came through the CHILDREN WAITING. We are helping family, we are bringing ourselves back to a state of wholeness.

Back doing what I love to do,

Mikeel

Actually, just today I took a mind journey to China and found a child, waiting. I didn't find family members around the child, then the child ran away, I followed in a distance, and then the child entered something like a door and vanished without a trace.

Spooky

hi mikeel,

yes and yes again.  mass retrieval work is no fun.  solo work can be fascinating, challenging and sometimes great fun, but the disaster stuff is for old hardened pros.  it's the only way to get through it.  if you stop to plug into their emotions you're a mess yourself.

while there never seems to be enough volunteers on hand, "the team"  always understands when you need some time out for r and r, even if it's years, earth time.

when i have folk come to me for consultation I always get them onto solo retrievals first, until they get their wings/confidence/strength.  Dealing with split up families, some dead some alive, can be torture for a starting out helper.

love, gordon

Hello friend Gordon you hit the nail right on...PLUG INTO THEIR EMOTIONS..

I had first hand experience on this not so long ago and it did took his tole; but i've learned form it.
Thanks to Bruce help/experiences/knowledge it did help me get through.

Emotions can be so unearthing so to speak and very powerful, even when you build your protection there're time when it still siff/pass through and we need to know how to deal with it.

Bruce idea of ..kind of looking at it from a distance or through a kind of glass help a lots.

We learn everyday..

with love;Romain

Hi, I been reading about some of Gordon's retrievals in his 2nd book. lot of striking correlations, so I'm grateful for the read. been out of doing them as intentions for awhile, instead of retrievals, a different type of thing is happening now for me.

hard to express, but the emotions are coming into play and being used for healings. Not negative emotions, just PUL emotions. I seem to enter the person's field and sense how they are feeling. Recently I did a healing on Rick here who is still reporting the effects, but to be fair, a few others also sent him healing. We've been working closely for several years also, so that has something to do with what happened.

I surveyed some other lives where I was in the healing fields either as a nurse or a herbologist, or a medicine woman, etc. I seem to have carried over into healing areas this life, started out doing a laying on of hands wherever I found a willing participant. some success with that. found out faith healing is not appreciated in this day and age.

and now I discovered retrieval area is part of the healing arts, not only that, but there is Reiki healers surfacing. I am being initiated into what some call absent healing. which only means, my physical hands are not laying on somebody. My mind is expanding my healing hands into the ethers.

Gordon knows about this. we've sort of discussed it, about our higher self activities out there. what I think has happened and your book is helping me recognize it Gord, my higher self has descended into my body so that my ego, or personal desire, whatever, is sublimated entirely to the All That Is merging that has taken place.

back to Rick's healing, which I feel was a double blessing, for us both I mean. As I did the healing circle imagery that day, I got in touch with the magnificent power of healing which is there to tap into. I placed him in the circle and others here I placed around him and we all raised our hands and radiated this healing to him.
that is when something happened..I entered his emotional field, touched his heart with my hand, told him to let me heal him and he said ok. I felt his gentleness of soul and started crying with happiness that I knew he was healed. that he had the ability to receive the healing.

then I was healed! by healing him, I became healed myself. for how many people on Earth can really accept their own healing? but I understand, it is important during a retrieval to not get swept away by another's pain. otherwise you are no good to them.

my first retrieval the young man's scream for god to help him was making me blink out because I cried for him too and there was a strong guide there whom forced me to blink back on and get his attention. i remember well how she yelled at me, no, no, do not let the pain overwhelm you! I was successful to approach him, although he called for god, I had to be god for a moment..just a job. Talking soothingly is what worked. a compassion trait. lol. that retrieval was funny when the ambulance guys started moving in, they were like, shoot, we've been waiting years to get this one out of the alley..finally! they acted like they had done this a million times and it was getting boring to them, to me, it was my first time.

then some retrievals, just business as usual and they are quite necessary and we are cleaning up the astral this way.
