According to these traditions, the loss of soul parts may contribute to feelings of emptiness, reduced vitality, and sometimes even physical or psychological complaints.
The process of bringing these parts back — soul retrieval — is seen as a way to reconnect with our life force and restore a sense of inner wholeness.
