Depression is a very common, yet potentially debilitating condition that can wreak havoc on the natural flow of someone’s life.
Signs or manifestations of depression can include deep sadness not linked to loss or other understandable cause, loss of interest in life, being unable to enjoy the things that once brought pleasure to our lives and extreme fatigue, to name but a few.
Those that suffer from chronic depression also tend to struggle with feelings of low self-worth, of being easily overwhelmed by life’s challenges and a persistent feeling of unease. The saddest part of all this being the amount of precious time lost to the symptoms of depression that could have been spent fully engaging in and enjoying life.
THE SHAMANIC PERSPECTIVE
Chronic depression is considered by most shamanic practitioners to be a key indicator of soul loss, which involves a piece of one’s essence or soul splitting off from the whole in order to survive a traumatic event. In traditional shamanic cultures, the practice is to retrieve this missing piece and restore it to its rightful place, thus returning one to a state of wholeness, happiness, and wellbeing. Unfortunately, most people today don’t live in a shamanic culture and as a result, soul retrieval is not widely practiced.
