Research and personal experiences seem to suggest that the totality of our personalities may be made up of many smaller aspects or sub-personalities. The Native American Indian and Tibetan Shamans knew about this since ancient times.

Rejection of certain characteristics of self, traumatic experiences and pain appear to be major causes for submerging these sub-personalities away from our conscious mind. This is a natural mechanism designed in order not for the individual to experience what he/she do not want to see or experience. Severe soul losses, will often cause emotional/mental and health problems such as depression and fatigue.

There are cases of soldiers who come back from war with greatly altered personalities. These veterans often suffered memory losses and couldn’t fully recall certain traumatic events that occurred. In some case, their brain actually shrank. They have memories that are greatly affected by the trauma occurred.

Soul aspect integration and healing

Soul Healing is a practice that is relatively unheard-of in modern day. Nevertheless, I think it is every person’s right to know that such a mode of healing exists. If done correctly, it allows one to resolve life issues at the root. There are many modalities of healing soul fragmentation. The most common mean is Shamanic Soul Retrieval. In this mode, a shaman/healer assist the client in retrieving lost soul fragments with the help of spirit guides. If I am not wrong, the Hindu and Buddhist terms for these soul fragments or aspects are samskara and samcara.

Apparently, such spiritual practices have been in existence for thousands of years. Although much less common, one can also conduct his/her own retrieval. Most of these methods generally required the “retrieval/remembrance” of that aspect of self followed by an “integration” process. The procedure usually goes like this:

1. An intention to understand our aspects is set forth. There is a willingness to re-integrate the aspects2. Remembrance and reliving of the original impulse/desire. These can be done via past-life regression or meditation. Also, the aspects can show up in our dreams as well.

3. After expressing the emotions and pain involved and having seen/experience the aspect for what it is, the cause can be recognised. In time, the issue should cease to be an issue as healing progresses.

I have done my own soul-aspect retrievals. Sometime the memories come in during meditation, on others when I am simply relaxed. Essentially, when the memories came back, it was not like watching a movie. Basically, we may experience the original response/reaction (impulse) and feeling! During this period, it can sometimes be difficult to carry out the daily activities.

Why soul aspect retrieve? 

Un-retrieved/unconscious/subconscious soul aspects that are not integrated/understood can manifest unpleasant recursive patterns in one’s life. Also, because of the divided nature of fragmentation, an individual may have difficulties expressing in certain manners and thus not have freedom, articulation and expression. In addition, one may have difficulties remembering events at the time of the loss. If the loss is severe enough, health problems and constant fatigue may result. Note: I am not advocating that soul loss is the only reason for health problems and constant fatigue.

In my opinion, the soul loss/fragmentation phenonema is another way of describing karma and karmic pattern. That is, the phenonema of having many sub-personalities conditions and affects the way we see and react to the external world. Most of us are not conscious of our own responses … until we start to become aware of them.

Prior to having any awareness of them, we do not even suspect that they (the tendencies and responses) existed, therefore are unable to reacte freely or ‘free’ ourselves of these conditioned responses and situation. These conditioned responses that are borne of not understanding/awaring are what I refer to as ‘karmic pattern’. They can be accumulated over lifetimes.The universe work such that similar attracts similar. Therefore if a ‘character/aspect’ within is in us, it will seek to be projected/expressed in our external environment. This law applies to other areas as well such as in physics. That could be why, the phenomenon attracts and manifests unpleasant recursive patterns in one’s life.For one on an evolutionary/spiritual path, the soul aspects/fragments recovery goes beyond that of the present life. It also involves the uncovering of aspects incurred in past lives.

There appears to be many methods of karmic pattern clearing. In very advanced methods such as in Dzogchen, the samkaras, aspects are left the way they are. This, I think needs great mastery and a fair amount of enlightenment. Fortunately, there are easier and more attainable methods. For instance, even our dreams can be used to interprete and percieve our many sub-personalities.
