Reiki for Soul Retrieval: Reclaiming the Lost Parts of You

Soul fragmentation is a real thing. Does any of this sound familiar?

There comes a point in every lightworker’s journey when the usual tune-ups stop working. The crystals don’t hit the same. The rituals feel flat. The guidance feels distant, and the feeling something is missing grows. You’re not broken—you could be fragmented.


Soul fragmentation isn’t just a concept. It’s something I’ve witnessed in my clients, my community, and yes, in myself. It’s not a failure. It’s an invitation to deepen your practice, reclaim your energy, and walk your path with renewed sovereignty.


What Is Soul Fragmentation?

In my experience, soul fragmentation is the division between the higher self and the lower self. It’s what happens when we veer so far off our soul’s path that we lose our ability to discern, to tune in, and to trust our own inner compass. It’s not always dramatic—it can be subtle, slow, and cumulative. But the result is the same: we feel scattered, depleted, and disconnected.


Soul Fragmentation That Occurs Through Trauma

For those who’ve experienced trauma, fragmentation often begins as a protective mechanism. Parts of the soul dissociate to shield us from the full impact of pain. This is sacred. It’s survival. But over time, it can leave us feeling like we’re living in pieces—disconnected from our true self, our purpose, and our power.

Healing this kind of fragmentation is layered. It requires trauma-informed therapy, energetic discernment, and deep spiritual support. This is not a solo mission. It’s a co-creative reclamation.


Symptoms of Soul Fragmentation

If you’re wondering whether this applies to you, here are some of the most common signs I’ve seen in my practice:

  • Emotional Numbness – Feeling detached, like you’re just going through the motions
  • Chronic Fatigue  – Persistent exhaustion that no amount of sleep or supplements can fix
  • Anxiety & Depression – Heightened emotional overwhelm, often without a clear cause
  • Feelings of Incompleteness – A sense that something vital is missing from your life
  • Memory Loss or Dissociation – Gaps in memory or feeling like you’re not fully present
  • Addictive Behaviors – Turning to substances, distractions, or busyness to fill the void
  • Disconnection from Purpose – Losing touch with your passion, direction, or soul goals
  • Multiple Selves – Feeling like different parts of you are at odds, unintegrated or confused


If any of these resonate, you’re not alone. And you’re not beyond healing. Now is the time to curate your soul remedy team - which should include:


  • A mental health professional  - suited to your level of healing
  • Health and lifestyle specialist - including a fitness program
  • Mastery Level Energetic practitioner - for a fully holistic approach.


Leaking Energy in Daily Life

Even without trauma, we leak energy. Our aura, when worn thin by stress, grief, or neglect, becomes porous. Energy is always seeking balance—and if your field is wide open, others will siphon from you. Most of the time, it’s unconscious. But it’s real.

That man at the gas station with a collapsed heart chakra? If yours is radiant and unsealed, there will be an exchange. Not because he’s malicious, but because your energetic boundaries are missing. Reiki offers a way to seal, protect, and reclaim.


Reiki Technique: Calling Your Energy Back

This is a technique I’ve used personally and professionally. It’s not the "be all to end all"—it’s a living ritual. Adapt it as you’re guided.


Steps to Reclaim Your Energy:

  1. Plan sacred time - Alone, uninterrupted and ready to work.
  2. Prepare your space—Physically and energetically. Use reiki, sound, smoke, crystals or abide your preferred traditions. Do you, boo!
  3. Enter light meditation—Breathe deeply, release the day. Imagine and allowing the calming of the nervous system.
  4. Invoke Reiki flow—Visualize energy rising from Earth and descending from Source, meeting in your heart chakra and filling all parts of your mind, body and soul. Next flowing with ease and grace into the palm chakras as liquid light.
  5. Set your intention: EG. “I reclaim all parts of my soul offered in imbalance or taken unconsciously.”
  6. Draw Cho Ku Rei (Power Symbol) in your hands—Activate your flow.
  7. Invoke Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (Distance Symbol)—Use with CKR or in a Reiki Sandwich.
  8. Project HSZSN outward—Beyond time and space, calling back all soul fragments. Visualize cords releasing and healing with ease, fragments returning filled with forgiveness, healing, and love.
  9. Let the process unfold—Follow your intuition.
  10. Complete ritual with a full self-Reiki session—align, attune, balance, clear and harmonize your chakras, and seal your aura in golden-white light.
  11. Give thanks—to yourself, to the universal life force. Close the session with reverence.


Setting Spiritual Boundaries & Permissions

At the end of your session, write new energetic boundaries. Here are a few to inspire:


            “My energy is accessed only by my permission.”

            “I offer psychic guidance only in scheduled, paid sessions.”

            “I am no longer an open conduit for unsolicited spirit messages.”

            “Each night, my soul calls back all parts fragmented in non-contributing ways.”


Boundaries are not walls—they’re declarations of sovereignty.


Final Thoughts: You’re Not Broken, You’re Invited

There is no perfect way to call back your soul. Only intention, consistency, and accountability. This blog is for the lightworkers, witches, and Reiki practitioners who feel lost, depleted, and unsure why their usual tools aren’t working.


You’re not failing.

You’re evolving.


We fragment when we stop listening to our inner guidance and willingly give parts of ourselves away. No one takes it from you—you participate. And that’s okay. I do it, too. But! I call myself out; And I call myself back.

The more you honor your unique path, the stronger your soul becomes. Fragmentation lessens. Clarity returns. And you begin to walk your path with power again.


For those who have deeper layers and trauma associated with soul fragmentation - Times have changed and there are many energetic practitioners, mental health professionals and healthy coaches who are leveling up their training and experience to match your healing journey needs. You are not alone, and there is a team waiting to support you as you learn how to support yourself. Keep going.
