5 Signs You're Experiencing Soul Loss And What to Do About It

 

That Feeling That Something Is Missing? It Might Be You.

You've felt it, haven't you?

That sense that something is off. Something is missing. Not in your life — in YOU.

You can't quite name it. You've tried to fix it. You've read the books, done the therapy, changed the job, ended the relationship, started the meditation practice. And still... there's this gap. This emptiness that nothing fills.

What if I told you the thing that's missing is actually a part of yourself?

In shamanic traditions across every culture on Earth, this is called soul loss — and it's one of the most common (and most overlooked) causes of chronic suffering.

Here are the 5 signs that you might be experiencing it.

Sign #1: You Feel Empty Inside — No Matter What You Do

You've achieved things. Maybe a lot of things. The career, the relationship, the house, the life that looks good on paper.

And yet.

There's a void. A hollowness at your center that success doesn't fill. That love doesn't fill. That nothing seems to fill — no matter how hard you try.

You might find yourself:

• Constantly seeking the "next thing" that will finally make you feel whole

• Using food, alcohol, shopping, scrolling, or work to numb the emptiness

• Feeling inexplicably sad even when "nothing is wrong"

• Wondering "is this all there is?"

This isn't depression in the clinical sense (though it can look like it). It's the felt experience of operating without all of your vital essence. Part of you isn't here — and your system knows it.

Sign #2: You've "Never Been the Same" Since...

You can finish that sentence, can't you?

I've never been the same since the assault.

I've never been the same since my parents divorced.

I've never been the same since the accident.

I've never been the same since she died.

I've never been the same since I left him.

There's a clear before and after in your life. Before, you were one way — more alive, more trusting, more open, more YOU. After, something fundamental shifted. And it didn't shift back.

You might have healed in many ways. Done the grief work. Processed the trauma. Moved on with your life. But there's still a part of you frozen in that moment. A part that never came home.

That's not a metaphor. That's soul loss.

Sign #3: You Feel Like You're Watching Your Life From Outside It

You're here, but you're not really here.

It's like there's a pane of glass between you and your own experience. You're going through the motions — showing up, functioning, even succeeding — but you're not fully inhabiting your life.

This might show up as:

• Chronic dissociation or "spacing out"

• Feeling like you're on autopilot

• Difficulty staying present, even when you try

• A sense of watching yourself from a distance

• Emotional numbness — unable to feel the highs or the lows

• Feeling like an imposter in your own life

This is your system's way of telling you that not all of you is present. The lights are on, but part of you isn't home — because part of you literally left. 

Sign #4: You Have Gaps in Your Memory

Especially from childhood.

When you try to remember ages 5-10, or that year after the divorce, or the period when the abuse was happening... it's blank. Foggy. Like trying to see through frosted glass.

You might have:

• Whole years you can't recall

• Missing memories around specific events

• A sense that you "blocked out" parts of your past

• Childhood photos that feel like they're of a stranger

This isn't a bad memory. When soul parts leave, they often take the memories with them. The part of you that lived through that time went somewhere else to survive — and the memories went too.

(This is also why memories sometimes flood back after soul retrieval — the part that returns brings them home.)

Sign #5: You Keep Recreating the Same Painful Patterns

Different relationship, same dynamic.

Different job, same problems.

Different year, same self-sabotage.

You've done the work. You KNOW better. And yet you keep finding yourself in the same situations, making the same choices, attracting the same types of people.

It's maddening. And it's not a character flaw — it's a sign of soul loss.

When parts of us leave, we unconsciously create situations that mirror the original loss. It's like the psyche keeps returning to the scene of the crime, hoping this time it will end differently. Hoping the lost part will find its way

back.

But it can't come back on its own. It needs to be retrieved.

What Can You Do About It?

If you're recognizing yourself in these signs, here's the truth: this is healable.

Soul loss is not permanent. The parts that left are not destroyed — they're waiting. Waiting to be found. Waiting to come home.

Soul Retrieval is the most direct way to heal soul loss — an ancient shamanic practice performed across every indigenous culture for tens of thousands of years.

In a soul retrieval session, a shamanic practitioner journeys into non-ordinary reality to locate your lost soul parts and bring them back. These parts are then reintegrated into your energy body, restoring your vital essence.

People often describe the experience as:

• "I feel like myself again"

• "I didn't know how much was missing until it came back"

• "I feel more whole than I have in decades"

• "Colors seem brighter, I'm more present, I'm actually HERE"

The parts of you that are missing aren't gone. They're waiting. And they want to come home.
