Soul Retrieval Journey with Caroline Dawley
I’m ever grateful to my Shaman, Carolin Dawley, for sending me this beautifully detailed account of my soul-retrieval journey. I hope it will inspire others to seek her assistance in their own Healing journey. I’ve read her book Shaman‘s Drum twice and could read it several more times. I just started her book Medicine Wheel Ceremonies. All three of her books are available on Amazon. Links in comments. If you’re interested in booking a session with her you can email her at whitefawnstar@gmail.com.
“Dear Crystal,
It was a pleasure meeting you and guiding you on your Soul Retrieval Journey. My gift to you is to share with you my intuitive recreation of your LIFE STORY.
To begin we set the Intention to find the original trauma or wound that caused you to be out of alignment with your higher self. We found that the trauma of your early child experience caused you to view the world as an unsafe place, and from that point of view, you were unable to receive all the positive emotions and life experiences that would make you feel whole, safe, and truly worthy of all that life has to offer. I am so happy for you that you were able to release the cords that fed your past, your woundedness. And to retrieve your soul part that had split apart out of Fear. The soul part that contained your Light and Joy.
So, let us begin to view your LIFE STORY from a new point of view as we follow the heartbeat of the drum and surround ourselves in Sacred Space for healing. We first used Sage the sacred plant that clears any unwanted energy and assists us to create the perfect environment. Then invoking the energies and gate keepers of the 4 Directions, we aligned with Creator and Mother Earth.
Listening to the sound of the drumbeat and following my voice as your guide you walked in nature and viewed a large Oak Tree that could be the Tree of Life. Opening your senses you observed the tree and found an entrance inside. There was a soft glow so that you could see and as I counted, you slid down into the very underworld, the place we called The Garden of Eden. A very beautiful Garden that you described as being surrounded by a forest. In this space you met a Woman who came to greet you and walk with you.
On hearing the sound of the River, you walked over to a boulder and relaxed, looking into the water.
Setting the intention to meet your Animal Totem, you saw a reflection in the water of movement behind you, and turning around, you saw Grandmother Bear who told you she is your Animal Totem and Guide who will and always has been with you. As you recalled having a stuffed animal bear as a child. She told you that She has your back and is giving you Courage to continue on your Healing journey.
Crystal, you are very blessed to have Bear as your totem animal. She is a powerful protector, who gives courage to enter the darkness of the unknown. She assists you to enter the unconscious part of yourself, even as she enters the cave of darkness to hibernate. In this inner space, you will find all the answers to your life, and know that she is you, she is your new energy of courage and strength. You are very blessed and remember to continue building this relationship with her, learn all about her and breathe her energy into your body so that you walk in trust, and confidence without fear. You have released Fear and replaced it with Trust.
And now it is time to Intend to visit the cave of the Lost Children. I asked that you look toward the direction of the River where a guide waited for you. You described him as an elder Native man with long silver braids and when you asked if he would take you to the Other Side, to find your original wound or trauma, he said yes. And you got into the boat that took you to the other side. Following a small path, you followed him to the Cave of the Lost Children. In the Cave are the faces of little Souls who had to leave because such Light cannot dwell in darkness. A part of yourself that can be called your inner child.
As you called out your name, a little girl came to you and you recognized that she was yourself at about age 6. When you asked her why she left you, she explained that she was afraid, that she lived in fear. She felt abandoned by her mother who wasn’t there to protect her from the horrific abuse her father inflicted on the other siblings. You knew you lived in an unsafe environment and imprinted this Fear on your life. You realized you Mother also lived in fear as a result of the life she grew up in. So it is generational, and could continue on to your children and future generations. It would be interesting at another time to do a Past Life Regression to find where this Root began in your ancestral line. But we know that you are stopping it in your lifetime by choosing to heal your original Trauma.
After asking all the questions and talking with your inner child, your soul essence, or spark of life, you thanked her and gave her a hug telling her you were healing this part of yourself and would return for her. But at this time, you had more healing to do. You followed your guide back across the river and sat on the boulder where you reflected on everything you were told.
After reflection, you intended to go to the Chamber of Healing where you were led to the Shaman’s Tipi where the shaman was waiting for you. As you went inside, you saw a small fire burning and a pile of furs that you were instructed to lay upon. I began clearing the energy on your Aura and the Ceremony of Shamanic Healing. Using the Rattle loosened the energy and swept it away with my wing and the sacred sage. I put you in a cocoon wrapped in gossamer threads of Silver and Gold and invoked AA Michael to assist cutting the cords that fed your shadow self. The cords are like a baby’s umbilical cord, and when they are feeding negativity into your 4 energy bodies, then you are living in an illusion, that is not your true nature, the nature you were planning for your life.
Beginning with your Spiritual body, you released any energy that separated you from Creator and all that is, that caused you to feel alone. That cord was cut and released and you were infused with the golden energy of the Sun, that immediately connected you to Creator and all that is. You are now connected, there is no separation. Oneness is a higher consciousness that understands in a higher dimension, knowing there is no division or separation from Creator, God, and all Creation are ONE.
Moving on I invoked AA Michael to cut the cords of your Mental body that fed your thoughts of Fear, thoughts of not being worthy, thoughts of being alone. As the cords were released you again received infusion of the golden light that healed every thought and sealed the holes in your energy body that were draining you, and that kept you in Fear. Your body was dropping density as you become filled with the Golden Light. You now are free to align with thoughts of Love, Worthiness, Wholeness, and you will increasingly feel thoughts of Happiness, Joy, Peace of Mind.
It is important that you each day, say thank you for healing my thoughts as I reclaim all my energy that was lost. I now claim my new view of Life. I now feel safe, happy, joyful, etc. Write down each thought and say 3x thank you, thank you, thank you for my new thoughts and world view as a safe and Joyous place, and for surrounding me with loving supportive people. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is how you continue to reclaim your energy lost and create your new life and reality. You create your atmosphere by what you put in your aura. Fill your aura with thoughts that raise your vibration and begin to glow with the golden light.
Now we begin healing your Emotional body. Invoking AA Michael to cut the cords that feed the negative emotions of fear, abandonment, alone, all that fed your old world view as unsafe. Feelings of unworthiness, of being unlovable. Feelings that caused trauma in your daily life. As you released the old feelings, you are asked to call back your energy from every trauma and negative feeling you had. As you call back your energy I sealed the hole to keep any energy from leaking and filled your emotional body with the golden Light, healing every cell, tissue, every emotion, so that you become Lighter and lighter and your Aura becomes brighter and brighter. I put you in a ball of blue light and sealed you with Golden Light so that you will shine with Joy and Happiness, and these feelings will grow stronger and stronger and your Light will become brighter and brighter.
Again, say each morning, thank you, thank you, thank you for healing my emotions and filling me with Happiness, Love and Joy, and I now attract people who have the same energy of love and joy. Like attracts like. As you shine your love you will attract love.
Moving on I now ask AA Michael to cut the cords that fed negative energy to your physical body. As you release these cords that fed your illusion, that caused you to live in your shadow self, you become infused with the vertical energy of God, and walk with a new confidence. You stand upright, and hold your head high, and you attract people who are celebrating life, who are joyous, and filled with Life. I smudged your entire body and aura that contains you 4 energy bodies. And I put you in a ball of Golden Light sealing in this new energy. I asked that all energy be transmuted to a higher vibration as you become whole. The word whole means, holy, healed. And you intend to celebrate this New Being with the Joy of Dancing.
Now releasing your past, your old being, I connect you to your new Divine Blueprint as you put on your Spiritual Body. At birth we are given an earthly body, but when we connect to the Creator Source Light, we put on a new spiritual body. We see the old cocoon drop away as you have dropped density, you now rise up A NEW BEING. See yourself glowing, you may have wings. You are Light, you are shinning. You will now receive instruction from your higher self, from your soul, not just your ego.
Now its time to leave the Shaman’s Tipi. Thanking the Shaman, you notice an Eagle on a branch nearby. I instruct you to look into to Eagle’s eye, and you become ONE with Spirit, you become one with the body of the Eagle. You feel yourself riding the thermals upward, flying freely over the water, as you can see outlines of sharks and dolphins. You fly wherever you wish to go. Eagle Medicine brings freedom, liberation, an ability to soar in any dimension. And an Eagle eye to assist you to see intuitively anyone and any situation. This is my precious gift to you.
Setting the Intention to soar to the Chamber of Treasures where you find your divine gift. Eagle sets down as you go inside, you walk around looking and you realize your divine gift is dancing. Leaving this space, you once again look into Eagle’s eye and setting the intention to see your healed soul self, you ride the thermals upward to another dimension where you see a temple and inside your newly healed soul. You said she is your age, waiting for you. When you ask her what gift she brings, she replies, freedom. Asking her if she will come with you, while you promise her you will love her and protect her and she doesn’t have anything to fear. She accepts and you hug her and bring her into your energy body. As you become ONE, you become whole, free, liberated, functioning from your higher self. She will give you the gift of Eternal Life, as she is your spiritual essence.
Now setting the intention to find your Divine Purpose, you again become Eagle and soar to a higher dimension where you meet 2 light beings who came to help you. Asking them to show you your new Divine self, you look and see a new day dawning and see yourself dancing! You realize that Dancing is a Gift and expression of spreading Joy in the World. As you Dance others feel your Light Energy and helps raise their consciousness, you will help raise the consciousness of the entire Planet. You have come to spread the essence of Love as you celebrate Life, you spread Joy. This is your gift to the world!!! Bless you. Caroline Dawley, Shaman Healer. 7/12/2021”
