SOUL STEALING OR GIVING?

By Maryphyllis Horn

One important component of follow-up work to Soul Retrieval is also something that can be done even if you don't get a Soul Retrieval. It's a process of releasing other people's soul parts that may be stuck to your aura. These soul parts get there via what's called "soul stealing" or "soul giving." Think of our language idioms: "She stole my heart," or "I gave and gave and gave of myself to this man and I have nothing left," or "That person's an energy-zapper," or "psychic vampirism." Each of these may refer to soul stealing and soul giving.

Some people find it possible to release soul parts via forgiveness and self-forgiveness methods. This is fine if a lasting change occurs with the relationship. If not, then shamanic methods need to be used. Our world is riddled with soul stealing and soul giving. We probably don't even realize we're doing it. Intense emotions coupled with the desire to control someone is the usual impetus for it. Trouble is, even if we do
control the person for a while, we end up creating more turmoil and conflict in our relationships Other people's soul parts do us no good.in fact, quite the opposite.

Soul parts on us drain our energy just as much as if we carried a dozen books around with us all the time. It's a drain on our thinking, emotions and spiritual outlook. The soul parts interfere with our thinking clearly,
conflict with our views and attitudes, create relationship problems, and may even be a major factor in low self-esteem. We don't need this! Here is Rosalee's experience, with her permission to tell you of it. When Rosalee did a Spirit Journey to her 12-year-old soul part, it brought to her awareness the memory of an INNER incident which Rosalee didn't recall ever having in physical life nor prior to the soul retrieval. She was standing in the school hallway, motionless, while her friend Milly shouted at her constantly. Milly told her she was "bad, a no-good worthless person and would rot in hell for what she did!" At the same time, Rosalee contradicted this by saying to herself current day truths such as, "I am creatively talented, a top scholar, and am successful in my work. I have close friends and have always been spiritually motivated."

After we worked with this self-belief, she noticed a difference in the hall scene. She saw THREE images of her friend all at the same time! Milly had angrily flung several of her soul parts at Rosalee. These soul parts were a major cause of Rosalee's low opinion of herself. Every time she thought well of herself, Milly's soul parts contradicted her. It was a continual battle every hour of every day - and had been, for decades.
Flinging soul parts at someone else depletes our energy and effectiveness in the world and keeps us from solving our karmic lessons. Carrying someone else's soul parts adds to our burdens in the world - in essence, we take on someone else's karma without any hope of solving it either for them or for ourself.
Attached soul parts make us hypersensitive to the people they belong to, and the issues those people present.

Imagine a relative you haven't seen or heard from in ten years suddenly phones you. Your first reaction is, "Oh no! Not again!" Now, logically, you'd think all between you would have dissipated by now and you'd enjoy hearing from them. But that's not so if you have their soul parts hanging on you, talking in your mind 24-7, giving you little respite. This does you no good. Other signs that you may be carrying others' soul parts are: Overreacting to the other person's actions or words, the other person "pushes your buttons" easily or you daydream about arguing with that person.

As soon as the soul parts are released, you no longer carry the "charge" of that person's conflicting energy and attitudes. You have only you within you - and that's not a lonely thing. Rather, it's a treasured, vibrant,
honoring thing. People have repeatedly remarked how their family and work relationships instantly improved once they released those peoples' soul parts. They could be around a person, who is acting in the same old way, they noticed it, but it no longer bothered them. Amazed? Disbelief that it could also be true of you? Try it! It's an important way of claiming your life to be yours.
