Soul Loss, Retrieval, and Reintegration
When the soul experiences trauma, sometimes part of the soul fragments and becomes stuck in the moment where the event took place. Soul fragmentation can happen through various life changing events such as abuse, life altering accidents and injuries, loss, and heartbreak to name a few.
NDEs, accidents, life changing injuries, loss, grief, childhood traumas, heartbreak, abandonment, abuse and the list goes on. Symptoms of soul loss or fragmentstion include:
Rumination (where you're constantly thinking about what you could've done to change that moment, how could this have happened to you)
Feeling empty or lost
Feeling emotionally dull or numb
Repressed anger, sadness and frustration
When these occur they can cause you to act outside of how you would naturally. They can lead to
Feeling Out of Your Body
Explosive anger
Self Destruction
Anxiety and depression
Low self esteem
Addiction
Memory gaps
Lack of sleep
Egoism
Narcissism & Echosim
Its the body's way of adapting to the new stressor while trying to protect you from it occurring again, but the tricky part comes as once it happens, it makes it easier for it to happen again. This often leads to what is called a spiritual emergency.
So what can be done to prevent this?
In certain and more sever cases the assistance of a healing practioner is needed to retrieve the soul fragments during a spiritual emergency.
In many ancient traditions, by many names and methods, there is a method of calling the soul back to the body. In modern times, we call it soul retrieval.
Soul Retrieval is the reintegration of loss parts of the self, back into the soul and body. It is the spiritual act of emotionally processing that event so the body can release the trauma trapped within it so the soul fragment can return. Soul Retrieval acts as the bridge or gateway for transformation into a more actualize version of the self. Soul Integration reduces stress, anxiety, and improves mental focus by allowing you to experience joy again, feel more present in your body and stay present in the now.
Soul Retrieval can help to alleviate depression, grief, anxiety, and helps to improve sleep. Its meant to restore ones confidence and self assurance, revitalize ones personal power and overall sense of purpose in life.
What happens during a Soul Retrieval?
Cross culturally, soul integration goes by many names, but there are a few things that stay consistent, lets discuss them!
Globally, there have been are about 3 main techniques used in order to call the soul back:
The most common way that people perform soul retrievals, often without even knowing is through Journaling.
Journaling while taking yourself back to the moment of the traumatic event and reparenting that version of yourself that experienced that is an enormously helpful & practical way to call your power back all from the comforts of your own home.
The second way is healing practitioners is often held guided meditation and journeying ceremonies where the patient is taken on a mystical journey to locate and reintegrate those lost parts. How ever many there are.
Another method is through fascial release. Trained body workers perform myofascial stimulation that releases physically trapped trauma and negativity that has formed a physical and energetic blockage within the body. Releasing the blockage and tension acts as a floodgate for unprocessed emotions to return and the soul can be properly placed back into the body.
These are the main three ways that soul retrievals are performed across the world. And has helped millions of people around the world feel whole after experiencing various life changing events. If you or someone you know might be suffering from soul loss, soul retrieval and integration is the solution to you feeling like yourself again.
Seashells for Soul-Integration
Lets talk about 3 seashells and how they can assist you in recalling back loss parts of yourself and reintegration of the soul from the conjure perspective.
1. Oyster
Oyster shells bridge the gap between the physical and the spiritual realm. They aid in your ability to locate those lost part for integration. Theyre also known for their ability to absorb and filter negativity. This is excellent for helping to loosen and absorb negativity while performing a soul retrieval. Use oysters for containment of energy and help to restore inner strength all while retaining your soft side.
2. Cockle
This shell is known for its protection during spiritual and physical travel. Cockles are associated with the heart through the chambers of the heart resembling its shape.
Cockles have the ability to capture and contain energy that was once leaking and keep it from drifting away.
3. Crab Pincher
Along the shoreline, even on some dinner plates, yes, I am side eyeing you lmaojk 🤣, you can find crab pinchers that are excellent for capturing lost energy and for protecting you from further harm. Since the soul fragmented as a form of protection to prevent further trauma, its best to let those versions of yourself know its safe so they can return back home. Crab shells offer the perfect line of defense through their hard exterior, protective bumps, and their ability to side step oncoming danger. The crab pincher is your friend if you need added future defense just in case you may not be totally out of the sight of danger.
I'm in love with Water!
How deeply water is ingrained in everyone's indigenous cultural practices and how it's been used to free the mind. Water is the only substance that can cut through all that blocks it's path, only thing needed is time. I want to become like water in every way possible. I want to face difficulties head on just as water does. The fact that water has so much to do with the other realms, intrigues me so deeply. Maybe because of its fluid nature and ability to change shape. It's the one substance that can change form depending on its vessel, pressure, and temperature. In each, resides a lesson that we all can gain wisdom from.
Water provides coolness in times of extreme heat. Water preserves in times of extreme cold and famine.
Water condenses under extreme pressure to form a supersolid, reminding us that external forces only bring refinement. Water does not cowar under the weight of pressure nor does it let anything hinder its destination. When water finds a block in its path, it reroutes itself to the easiest course of direction to still achieve its goal. It even wears down the previous obstacle for the next water to come along and continue to break it down until it's carved its own path. The path The Water, not the obstacle, chose.
It's easy to see how ingrained water is to the symbolic nature of the world around us. The more we return to the water, the more we listen and align ourselves to water, the more She speaks. And She reveals many answers to the daily challenges we face in our lives today and many futures to come.

The wonderful properties of Cone Snails
Belonging to the family Conidae,
Cone snails are known for their unique shapes and deadly venom. Due to their love of warmer waters, Cone Snails are often found along the pacific and western tropical Atlantic Ocean, but can be found worldwide due to some adapting to colder temperatures
They are found in the intertidal and deeper areas alluding to their liminal abilities. Usually they can be located under rocks to deep in tropical seas. For this reason, the Cone snail should be avoided in the wild and is useful for liminal crossing and deep introspection.
Cone snails classify as benthic snails, meaning they dwell on the seafloor often hunting for food during dusk and dawn hours.
The Cone Snails Life Cycle:
The Cone snail starts off in an egg capsule and then wiggling free from their egg casing as planktonic larvae. After drifting, they settle on the bottom and undergo metamorphosis transforming into their final adult stage. As they age, they gain whorls to their Cone, expanding their shells as they grow.
Predatory Eating Habits:
They classify as predatory snails due to their hunting style of stinging their prey with their harpoonlike probuscis to incapacitate them enough to consume them. Their diet usually consists of worms, others small mollusks, and tiny fish. The cone snail works by injecting its prey with a toxin called conotoxin, paralyzing its prey almost immediately.

Beauty Glamour Magic 101
- Beauty is not just external, it starts first with how you feel about yourself and with what you consume. Not just food, which counts, but also what you watch, read, the company you keep.
1. Dietary Habits -
If your concern is weightloss centered glamour magic, then your first concern should be what would this version of myself be eating? Would she be eating fresh foods and home cooked meals? Would she take herself out on solo dates to teat herself with the foods she likes and so that she can get some extra steps in? Would she be working out at least 3 times a week? What do her portion sizes look like? What foods would she avoid?
2. Media Consumption -
There is so much out here today attempting to influences our thoughts behaviors and emotions, but how often do we take time to tune in to our own desires and feed ourselves with the things that truly matter to us? A lot of media can be used to divert you away from your highest self by keeping you stressed, angry and depressed.One minute you're laughing at a TikTok, you scroll and then you're crying, how many of us have noticed that? Part of glamour magic is knowing when to take a step back from social media, when to go get some fresh air, and treat yourself to a nice day out. Or when it's a good time to hit the search bar on for a new hobby!
3. Reading & Research-
Reading is a huge factor when it comes to internalized glamour magic! Being well round in your basis of knowledge, wisdom and understanding of not only self, but the world, will help you to understanding how the world has helped you to shape the views you currently have of yourself.
Not reading allows ones reality to be shaped by the thoughts and opinions of others who very often are misrepresenting the truth either intentionally or unintentionally. Very often the truth is written in books about how our realities have been shaped to form opinions that go against our greater nature. Without research, discernment and knowledge of self, how can you truly self actualize into this higher version of yourself?
4. The Company You Keep-
Oftentimes, it is the people we surround ourselves with that limit our growth in life. Every day, we make small actions that shape our trajectory, leaning us more towards people pleasing tendencies. How many times have we forgiven a lover or a friend without ourselves first taking time to acknowledge the damage and harm we are causing ourselves by keeping this person around, or even by keeping our emotions inside. How can we maintain the body we want and go to the gym, or read if our mind is filled with thoughts about how you dont feel right about someone? How would you maintain a healthy mindset overloading yourself with media that chooses algorithms that stereotype you into a box?
5. Behavior -
Oftentimes, our behavior and actions are our own, yes, but are shaped by the actions made towards us in our childhoods. When everyone is walking around with childhood wounds, no one can be in a space to love themselves or another. Our behaviors are our own, yes, but they are shaped by experiences, our epigenetics, and even our temperament for the day. For this reason, it's quintessential to observe your daily actions and ask yourself, why did I choose to make this decision vs. another? And how this choice I made reflects to a bigger habit or trait I have within myself. Is this habit or trait something that my actualized self would be doing or partaking in? What steps can I take within every day to change this habit of, for example, bad self-talk?
One good step towards solving that problem would be to find 5 things you like about yourself and the world around you every day and increase it to 10 after a while. The key is rewiring your brain. Instead of focusing on the things you don't like about yourself, you're rewiring your circuitry to focus on what you do love, and then you begin to seek for other qualities about yourself that you admire that you didn't even notice before!
Another example would be the topic of jealousy which has been circulating on social media, (to me, a bit more than normal) yes it is a "natural" human emotion to experience jealousy, but it is what you do with that emotion that ultimately makes it a negative or positive thing. Being in a state of jealousy or envy for what another has, more so speaks to what it is YOU know youre lacking within yourself. You think To yourself, "what does this person have that i dont?" And the truth is the answer is the fact that they care more about being themselves and living their dreams. Taking this on for yourself and bringing your dreams to reality is the way to eliminate that feeling. Every day laying one brick at a time towards your goal is more than enough to build the life of your dreams, but you can't start if you're worried about your limitations and not what you already have to get you there.
To Conclude -
Let's be honest, is beauty magic really has little to do with how you look and everything about how you feel within self and about youself. The physical changes will come if these steps are taken. And Let's face it, all this stress from the world around us can easily make you unhappy. And very often unhappiness leads to slacking on self care and self love. Its very rare people look and feel the way they want when they choose to make decisions that go against their own best interest everyday.
Being stressed and slacking on self care is normal, and it happens to everyone. But at the same time, it is absolutely necessary to care for self because no one can pour from an empty cup. Not focusing on bettering these factors within your life often makes ones glamour beauty magic null and void. What's the point of being beautiful and stressed out anyway? You won't even enjoy it to its fullest potential! We want our lives to be as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside, and these are the first necessary steps to doing so! No glamour spell will work if we aren't making conscious choices within ourselves every day to make it so.
The Truth about the Matrix
He was supposed to swallow both pills.
When you choose one side or the other, you become imbalanced. The key to this game we call life is mixing the red with the blue.
