Ancient Tibetan Healing—Soul Retrieval & Long-life Ceremony

In times of trauma, accident, abuse, great stress or significant personal loss, one can lose part of your soul. Tibetan Soul Retrieval is a method for calling back and restoring that life force.
The ancient Tibetan Bön religion has many healing rituals. Among them is the ritual known as Lalu Chilu, Soul Retrieval and Long-Life Ceremony. It is performed for those whose life force has been diminished or damaged.
In order to have a healthy life, inner life force, soul or La must be strong. Just as we catch all kind of diseases when our immunity is weak, we become vulnerable when our La is diminished.
When problems are caused by external negative forces, this ceremony is performed. It reinforces the power of the five elements which are the foundation of our spirit or life force. Soul Retrieval returns to us qualities and elements that have been separated from us. Through the use of prayer and ritual offerings, the external forces stop their harmful action.
