Shock and stress can cause pieces of your energy field to scatter. When that happens, it's time to reassemble yourself. This shamanic practice calls back scattered pieces that have become hooked outside yourself and supports reintegration and wholeness.
In stressful times, it is supportive to reassemble yourself daily. Doing this regularly helps your energy field maintain its cohesion, even when things are challenging.
REASSEMBLING YOURSELF
Traditionally, this practice is done with a rattle. If you don't have a rattle, you can improvise. Create a rattle by putting a few small objects, such as beans, small pebbles, rice, etc., in a small container like a jar, pill bottle, etc. I once reassembled myself, in a pinch, with a bag of jelly beans. Get creative!
Instructions:
- Notice your state of being.
- Focus on your intent to call back any pieces of your energy that are willing to return at this time.
- You donβt need to track, direct or "go get" the energies. Simply hold your intention gently.
- Begin to rattle steadily with a pace and rhythm which seems natural and comfortable to you.
- Allow your rattle to be a messenger, carrying your intention to the realm of Spirit, creating a carrier wave which calls stray pieces of your energy field home.
- As you rattle, you may sense pieces returning. Breathe deeply and continue to rattle as you welcome their return.
- Rattle until the process feels complete.
- Breathe and rest mindfully as your energy field re-integrates these reclaimed parts.
- Notice your state of being.
