Hi, Ginny,

Thanks for posting about the thorns.  I also have encoutered thorns surrounding a person.  One was a soldier in the desert.  The closer I got to him the more solid the thorns became until they looked like they were made out of metal pipes with points.  I could go through them okay, but when I tried to take the soul out, we were blocked by the thorns.  I 'saw them not there'.  A path opened up and we could get through them.

I'm glad you shared your experience.  It gives me a lesson on how not to charge to the rescue.  Sometimes it is not needed. but a bit of help will do.  That, my Dear, is finesse, and you have it.

Hi, again,

I seldom have conversations with my helpers except for their names.  Sometimes when I hesitate to enter a rift because of my reaction to the situation, they will give me that 'look' and I will say "I don't think so."  And they will say, "Yes."  I know at that point that it isn't all about the retrieval.  It is also about me learning something about myself that I hadn't looked at before.  There are so many levels to ourselves, and doing this work makes me face most of them.  I have learned so much so fast.  I am amazed.  And then I get the added bonus of meeting someone like you that can give me lessons so gently.

As to dress, I have to remember to clothe myself in my mind as I usually do retrievals while in the shower.  It is one place where I'm never disturbed. I stay connected to the earth through the water.  Everything is fine as long as the hot water holds out.  LOL

When I have a reluctant soul I usually tell them, if they come with me, they will always have the option of returning to this place if they want.  That usually does it. LOL  With children, I built a playground in the park complete with a play house.    I'm always surprised how quickly helpers join us there.  They are usually laughing too. 

At first, retrieving children was difficult for me, but the more I do it, the more I enjoy the contact with them.  They are such sweet souls...and I get to hold them.  I was holding and crooning to an infant in the park the other day, and was tapped on the shoulder by a helper when I didn't notice she had arrived.  She wanted to take the baby.  That was the first time a helper actually touched me and she did it twice.

Sorry, I didn't mean to write a book.  It is just such a joy to share with someone who understands.

Thanks so much,
With hugs,
T'ressa

Dear Ginny,

I was led to soul retrieval by a series of events that, looking back on all of them, are amazing.  It goes back to my early twenties and my interest in life after death.  In my forties, I did a retrieval when a soul landed in my lap as we passed a very bad accident.  I sent it into the light with my angel and guide.  That was before I knew anything about soul retrieval. 

Years passed but not my interest in the afterlife.  A group of women came into my life shortly before my husband died to give me the support I needed at that time.  I joined a dating site a few years later.  One of the men I met became an email friend.  He sent an email to another of his friends that had my address on it.  She contacted me and we became computer friends.  She introduced me to a friend of hers and he introduced me to soul retrieval by sending me a book of Bruce Moen's.  I read and studied everything that I could including this site.  One morning during meditation, out of the blue, my guide said "A person fulfills their purpose in life by helping at least one other person."  Soul retrieval was a way of helping others.  I tried it.

I love doing retrievals because I get to use PUL.  I had learned how to use it in a yoga class about a year before I read the book.  I also use it as a Reiki master. ( I learned Reiki, a loving universal energy, from a couple of those women I met just before my husband passed.) 

All of that has brought me to where I am today.  I learn so much by doing the soul retrievals.  The helpers who help me are also giving me opportunities to make discoveries about myself.  I feel I have grown as a person and I'm still working on it. 

My son, who is psychic, tells me my core color has changed since I've started doing retrievals.  I'm not sure what that means.  All I know is that I have never been happier except when I was holding my husband's hand.  I believe that is a good indication that what we are doing is the right thing, as all my life I have followed my gut feelings, and they have never led me the wrong way. 

There you have it.  My path to soul retrievals.  I hope I didn't bore you too much.

With love and hugs,
T'ressa
PS.  I have learned that fear and Love can not coexist.  I give a lot of PUL where there is a lot of fear.
