Hello,

I have often been surprised by the many so called coincidences in this life.  I don't believe in them.  I believe they come about for our benefit whether it appears that way or not. 

A couple of years ago an email I had sent to a friend was forwarded on to another stranger who replied to it.  The reply came back to me.  We started conversing and discovered we had loads in common including our birthdays.  Some time later she asked me if she could introduce me to a friend of hers.  She thought we were both nice people who had lost mates and also had a lot in common.  She thought we might enjoy knowing one another. I agreed, and she was right we did like each other.  We soon became very good friends.  I learned that he had attended the Monroe Institute.  He was also trained in Reiki.  We did have many things in common, and then we started caring about each other.  We told each other stories of our younger days.  One day I was telling him about an incident that happened many years before when passing a very bad accident.  I had a soul land in my lap.  To help make a long story shorter, I sent the soul with my guide to the light.  My friend, I'll call him DW, exclaimed, "My Goodness, you're a natural." 

"A natural what?" I wanted to know. 

"A natural soul retriever." he told me.  I did not know what that was.  Two days later I received Bruce Moen's book in the mail.  I sat down and read it right away.  I then came to this site and began reading the many, many posts on soul retrievals.  Eventually I decided to try using Bruce's keys of imagination and clearing the mind and allowing what would happen to happen.  It happened just the way he described only I never tried to go out of body.  I have been doing soul retrieval almost everyday since. 

Not very long ago my dear friend, DW, and I were thinking about getting together when a diagnosis of cancer got in the way.  We were now conversing on the phone several times a week.  We were truly beginning to have a real love for each other.

The cancer spread quickly.  It wasn't long, and we both knew DW was getting close to the end of his life.  We talked a lot about it.  Every time we talked, he would ask me to tell him about the latest retrievals I had done.  I would tell him and then thank him for introducing me to this wonderful way to help.  One day he asked me if I would retrieve him.  I told him he wouldn't need it as he knew what to do and think to make the crossing easy.

DW passed on Monday.  My heart wept. 

Tuesday morning I prepared to do a retrieval as I do every morning.  I went to 'my place'.  I filled my heart with the love I have for all those in my life that mean so much to me including my pets.  I use a lot of PUL in the retrievals I do.  I then asked for helpers.  David and Jan came forward.  I asked them to take me to today's soul.  I saw no rifts as I usually do, but there was a brightness and I soon realized we were in 'the Park'.  I was confused.  'The Park' is a destination after we've found the soul.  I asked the helpers what was going on.  I heard, "Look around."  So I did.  I saw all the things in 'the park' I usually see.  Then I noticed there were some shadows under some trees over to the left.  There is shade in 'the  park' but most is bright and sunny.  I had never seen shadows before.  My helpers told me to call like I usually do.  I called "Hello".  I went over to the shadows and called again this time softer.  I was answered.  I went in to the shadows and saw him.  It was DW.  I was both glad and saddened to see him here.  As I was trying to figure out why he was here, I saw them...the teeth of fear.  I gave PUL and the teeth began to fade.  I reached for DW's hand and the teeth reappeared.  I gave more PUL and they were gone.  I walked with DW to the gate in the fence where I saw two people, a maternal figure and a man. 

As we got closer, I realized the man was my late husband.  I was so surprised I wasn't quite sure how to continue, so I introduced them.  They shook hands and my husband treated DW like a long lost brother he was welcoming home.  He was all smiles.  He placed an arm around DW's shoulders and they walked through the gates.  DW turned around and waved.  At this point, I was watching the two dearest men in my life walk away from me.  I waved and turned to go back to 'my place' with David and Jan.  I was weeping too hard to do another retrieval.  At 'my place' I thanked them, said "Namaste' " and left.

And that is what I mean about circles within circles.  I was able to retrieve the man who introduced me to soul retrieval.

I hope each of you will someday be given such a gift.
Much love for all of you,
T'ressa

Isee,

Thank you for your kind words.

Sending you love,

A Channel,

Thank you for your reply. 

Would you  please explain the differance between inphysical and nonphysical.  I think I know what you are saying, but I'm not sure since my friend had passed from the physical.  I hope I'm not being obtuse here.  I'm here to learn as much as possible, and all of you are great teachers.

Sending love along with my curiosity,
T'ressa

  Hi Baronness, sorry for the rather late reply.  I don't come here that much anymore and when i do, don't tend to spend a lot of time. 

Re: your questions, you probably were thinking accurately in relation to what i wrote.  Your friend would now be the "nonphysical" and you or other humans the "inphysical". 

   Retrievals are always, to some extent or degree, a two way street of helpfulness.  But sometimes it's more for the person stuck in the less physical states than ourselves (but the positive service helps us to grow/expand).  Occasionally however, sometimes a retrieval is set up more for us the "retriever" in a way, sometimes it's related to closure, karma, or what not. 

  Like i said, to some extent i feel/think you were helping out his transition, but i also sense there may be more to it than just that, something more for you--perhaps a kind of closure.  It's nothing i'm sure about, so please take it with a grain of salt and look to your own Expanded self and guidance for the truth of that matter.

  Thank you for sharing your experience with us

Gin,

Thank you for giving me insight from your experience.  There are times I get lost in some of my questions waiting for the answers.    But isn't it great when those answers do arrive?

Sending you love and hugs,
T'ressa
