Chapter 10: Healing the Spirit

      Spiritual healing after sexual assault is important, but, rarely discussed. Why is this important, anyway? The first and most obvious way in which the spirit is affected during a traumatic event is when soul loss occurs.

      When a person experiences trauma, their soul detaches and goes to a safe space. This is called soul loss. The soul stays fragmented, in that safe space, until you get those pieces of your soul back in the shamanic practice called a soul retrieval.

      After completing seventy soul retrievals on myself, I was astonished at how dramatically my life changed. I had lived with a broken soul for so long that once I healed, it was as if I became a new person! I noticed that my demeanor, attitude, and outlook on life changed. I became more intuitive, creative, and grounded. I began writing books and songs, again. I also began to dream more regularly at night.

      Healing the spirit after rape will unleash your talents and put you in alignment with your dreams and soul mission. Read the list below to explore a variety of holistic ways to mend the spirit after trauma.

“Once upon a time, humans lived nude in nature. Someone thought it would be a good idea to sexualize the naked body and we suddenly began hiding ourselves out of fear, shame, [and

obligation]. I believe there is nothing sexual about nudity. We can get back to the old times

when everyone was naked and they didn’t shame or hurt each other. They lived in harmony with nature. Some cultures still do. REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR MIND. Nudity does not equate to

sex. Nudity does not equate to sex. Nudity does not equate to sex.”
