Where could a soul get lost or stolen? Or how can a soul be sick? You might wonder.

From a Metaphysical point of view the search to recover and restore a person's vital essence that was damaged, stolen or lost through emotional, physical and/or sexual trauma, as well as misfortune, are due to the loss of personal power or life force"the diminution of spirit that keeps us strong and alive. Each piece has its own characteristic that once reintegrated enhance our capacity to thrive.

Restoring this lost, stolen or damaged part is not a quick fix; a Metaphysical healer needs to work with the person to help them restore their balance. Restoring the fragmented soul is only the first step in restoring one's self. For instance, if a soul piece were stolen from us as a child that has the quality of love, we may grow up with a closed heart, making it difficult to show or give love. With the return of the missing quality our heart is healed and we now are able to begin to learn how to love. This is not easy; learning to change ways of a life time, but with patience and understanding the Metaphysical healer helps the person to learn how to reclaim what was a birthright"giving and receiving love.

Since the Metaphysical theory of health and illness focuses on personal power, illness results when a person's spiritual power is diminished or when a person loses spiritual power or soul energy. The illness moves into the gap in the person's life force, bringing patterns of energy that are harmful. Releasement is the healing method in which a Metaphysical healer locates a harmful spiritual intrusion in a person's body and removes it.

An intrusion is analogus to an infection, which affects the spirit. Releasement of an intrusion can be done with hypnosis. With the use of hypnosis, the Metaphysical healer finds the location of the intrusion in the body by helping the person see, hear, and/or sense it. The actual releasement involves examining the purpose the intrusion served and helping the person recognize they no longer need it. The intrusion is removed by the person's willingness to let go of the need to have it. Symbolically it is put in a neutral place, such as a body of water where it will dissipate back into the universe.

Metaphysical healers help souls, which have failed to cross over to the other side because they know the terrain of the spirit world and may have even journeyed through the realms where the dead pass. They also know how to find lost souls and bring them back or escort them to their places.

In summary, Metaphysical healing involves making conscious connections with that which is spirit or life that which is sacred " all things. Healing can be accomplished through this connection by working directly to create greater balance and harmony of energy and spirit, and bringing back to the ordinary world awareness from the spirit world. To do healing works of any kind a Metaphysical healer finds the spiritual cause of problems. A particular problem of everyday life might have very different spiritual causes. In other words, illness that looks exactly the same symptomatically in two different people might be the manifestation of different underlying causes. In one person, depression and fatigue can be caused from a spiritual injury to the heart; while the same symptoms might be caused from excessive worry in another. And once the Metaphysical healer gains understanding of the illness, he/she guides the person through the healing process.
