Shamanic Soul Coaching is a process by which we:

• Identify and reintegrate various aspects of our soul which have been suppressed, hidden, rejected, denied, or otherwise lost to us, restoring lost functionality to our life experience.
• Compassionately mediate conflict between aspects of the soul to promote growth, effectiveness, and satisfaction, to list a few benefits.
• Engage in enriching self-discovery to find greater meaning in our lives.
• {When utilized in interpersonal relationships} Promote understanding and more joyful, harmonious relationships.

The shamanic vision of the soul is the idea that within each individual human being, we possess a 'family' of inner aspects. Each aspect can be seen as a unique individual, with a unique set of wants, needs, desires, likes, dislikes, hopes, fears, intentions, etc... We acknowledge this concept in our language when we use such phrases as, "I'm of two minds about this," "I have mixed feelings," or "He seemed to have lost a piece of himself."

The Shamanic Vision of the Soul is useful to us as we try to overcome obstacles to greater success, satisfaction, and joy in life. Many of life's challenges arise from issues occurring within one's 'inner family'. For instance:

Some aspects become dominant, and we wear these identities like masks as we move through the world in our relationships, and we sometimes get stuck wearing certain masks that, while familiar and comfortable, are not ideally suited to the context. For example: we may be comfortable in our identity as a no-nonsense business person. At a conference table, working out a budget with professional colleagues, this identity is certainly useful, but it is probably less useful to bring this identity into an intimate moment with one's beloved.

Some aspects become lost. At some point, an aspect may become suppressed, rejected, hidden, denied, or otherwise invalidated. This creates dysfunction, meaning that we have literally lost some functionality which that aspect provides us. Like removing keys from a piano keyboard, or colors from an artist's palette, the loss of these aspects can limit us from fully experiencing life.

Another common issue is that inner aspects can come into conflict. Remembering that each aspect within us has a unique set of wants, desires, hopes, dreams, intentions, fears, etc..., different aspects can certainly end up wanting to achieve goals at the expense of other inner aspects.
