Following is
  Melora's explanation of how soul retrieval is done with the help
  of our Light Guides, Angelic Beings, and Ascended Masters. Information
  Melora has imparted through channel [Joanna] gives us insight
  into how soul retrieval works energetically from higher dimensions.
  We are indeed Melora.
  We are of the light, and we are pleased to work with you. Nowto
  explain how the guides do "soul retrieval": Recall
  that, energetically, the vibration of wholeness and love are
  essentially the same. Any vibration that is separate from the
  Whole can be said to be inharmonic, or even dis-eased. The affinity
  that you feel for another person is a matter of resonance, is
  it not? Where your resonance is the same, or similar enough,
  that you don't feel a disparate quality, you don't feel a separation.
  What you term as love often is that feeling of oneness, which
  is a very small glimpse of the Oneness that is.
  And so in soul retrieval
  we're dealing with separation, and in addressing the problem
  of separationor fragmentationwe work energetically
  with changing the resonance. So, what you would term "attracting"
  the fragment back to the Core Soul we would term as bringing
  their resonances ever closer and closer together until they are
  the same energetically. You can also call this communication.
  Remember that when you really communicate with someone they are
  "getting it," and you are in accord, are in one, with
  what is being communicated, are you not? And so you can term
  soul retrieval as setting up a bridge of communication. Again,
  the method is an energetic sounding that brings the fragment
  and the Core Soul into resonance. So you can term it communication
  or you can term it resonancethe fragment(s) and the Core
  Soul are now harmonic instead of dissonant. They are now the
  same, instead of a separate, "tone."
  In order to get a person's
  first critical fragment back we enhance, or particularize, the
  person's resonance with our energy work, as you would term it,
  so that it closer approximates, for a time, the resonance of
  the critical fragment that we understand is the one to bring
  back first. Then that fragment's resonance and the Core Soul's
  resonance are modulated again to the healthier harmonic. It might
  be that the Core Soul, not just the fragment, needs adjusting.
  They are, nonetheless, adjusted and modulated in a sort of courtship,
  a sort of dance of subtle modulation until there is a harmonic
  that is the healthiest or "wholest" harmonic for both.
  In that harmonic they achieve their reunion.
  Now, as we extend from
  that, the resonance of the Core Soul has become modified, because
  it is now greaterit has this fragment back and has been
  adjusted for this reunion. In that resonance it can "call
  "to the next fragment. Then it calls to the next, and to
  the next, and so on, as the resonance adapts, modulates and changes
  between them in this courtship of the parts and the Core Soul.
  Then this resonance in the Core Soul changes subtly, achieves
  more of a wholeness as the parts are re-integrated, is now greater
  than, more whole than, it was before, and therefore can now attract
  each next "fragment." With the help of your guides,
  that "courtship" of modulation takes place. Again,
  this is at an energetic level, and at the level of wholeness,
  love, and light at which all things are at a level of maximum
  efficiency. 
  We're modulating both, together, until they achieve one arc,
  as in a voice match. We can do this energetically at levelsand
  at "speeds"that are not otherwise possible. (Speed,
  here, really means that you're not experiencing a time factor
  in the integration process as you would if you took the shamanic
  route.) Not all guides are adept at doing this. We would suggest
  that it's not something to mess around withthat one needs
  to know who is really able to do this and work very carefully.
  There is also an adjustment period, even in doing soul retrieval
  energetically.
  If you were to look
  at soul retrieval from the guides' point of view, because we
  do not see images the way you do, it would be much as if you
  were blindfolded and you were in a sensory deprivation unit,
  and someone played a tone that you could not hearbut you
  could feel the vibration of the tone in your body. We will add
  something else that may help you: As with a dolphin using sonar
  to locate food, we first sound, as it were (without meaning that
  we hear something). Using a sonic method almost, we sound out
  where the fragment is and locate it by the energy "signature"
  that ties it to the Core Soul. Its signature is the same as that
  of the Core Soul. This is how we know that we have the right
  one, or ones. Then, almost with a sonic wavewithout sound
  but with a sonic energywe [snaps fingers] sound, and we
  find the fragment(s). Once we've located each fragment we're
  able to determine by its resonance which is the optimal one to
  bring back first and then what the sequence would be. It's almost
  a gradation, the way there are different hertz/megahertz assigned
  to each tonal value. It's just something energetically that we
  can identify automatically.
  The fragments are tied
  to the Core Soul energetically . . . with that signaturealmost
  like the way DNA is your signature, where yours is unlike anyone
  else's. They are "attached" by what you could term
  an "energetic bridge," but remember that the fragment
  and the Core Soul normally have no consciousness of each other.
  That's the problem: the separation in consciousness. Setting
  up communication makes you conscious of each otheryou as
  the Core Soul and the fragment as a signature part of you that
  needs to be reunited with your Core Soul.
  So, energy-to-energy,
  there is a communication and understanding and clarity about
  what belongs with what: There's a signature trace that belongs
  to the Core Soul. We identify it; we track it. Now we start modulating
  the resonance of each so they come more into alignment. We are
  able to determine where the "healthy" resonance is
  and to bring both the Core Soul and the fragment to that ideal
  reunion. We do the same with each successive soul fragment.
  They're not just "floating
  around somewhere 'out there'." They're right here [just
  over the heart chakra]in the intersections of your etheric
  web. They have no beliefs; they have no dynamic consciousness.
  They're encapsulated. They're stuck in time; they're static in
  the sense that at the point at which they left . . . it would
  be almost like a person who was in an accident who has memory
  only of the recent pastor you have one memory that plays
  over and over again, but there's nothing beyond that.
  The soul fragment is
  in that kind of static state, almost as though whatever it took
  with it at the point of trauma is all that it has consciousness
  of. There's no consciousness of the connection to the Core Soul.
  The only reality it experiences is whatever trauma provoked it
  to leave. That is its main and, usually, only memory. And so
  you can see how traumatic it must be as the fragment returns
  to the Core Soul if one is integrating it by oneself, or even
  in therapy what difficulty might be experienced emotionally and
  psychologically, considering what memories that fragment is bringing
  back to the consciousness of the person housing the Core Soul.
  What may interest you
  from your mind level of curiosity is that the Ascended Masters
  and guides helping [Joanna] were given permission to select the
  Soul Fragments in a certain order. In working with the higher
  wisdom what actually happened is that it created a sort of "domino
  effect." With these critical parts back, a couple of them
  (which surprised [Joanna] intellectually as being that critical
  to the process), in a certain order, started magnetically to
  call to the other fragmented soul aspects that were still "out
  there." Merely starting the process magnetically calls to
  those parts because, remember, the Whole keeps trying to form.
  The fragments magnetically want to come back to the Whole.
  The lost soul aspect
  has no consciousness until it is reunited with the Core Soul,
  which has access to the "data banks," has access to
  the intellect, the mind. The Core functioning of the consciousness
  of the Being is with the Core Soul. So when the fragment is approached,
  it's going to be in a state of trauma, remembering only what
  was happening at the point at which it left. When it is "approached,"
  then a communication connection is made to the core consciousness,
  and then it remembers everything. (However, it doesn't have access
  to the consciousness of the Core Soul until it is fully integrated.)
  Now it becomes conscious
  that it has been separate and that the desire of the Core Soul
  is to bring it to union, or reunion. This is because of the fragment's
  experience as an energy essence extension of the Core Soul (separated
  in consciousness while it's a fragment). The newly returned fragment
  suddenly "realizes" that it has been separate in consciousness
  from the Core Soul. It becomes conscious of the fact that its
  separation is due to the event of which it has such an intense
  memory. Then the consciousness connection with the Core Soul
  exaggerates what will happen if it returns, because now it realizes
  that it has left its Core Soul as a result of the traumatic event.
  Now a fear starts: "Well, if I return, then I'm going to
  experience this again. If I stay, this is all I'm remembering
  now, but at least it's not going to happen again. If I return
  it's going to happen again." The fear element is one of
  the greatest impediments, and so the shaman, for example, coaxes
  it by saying "Well, here's how good it's going to be when
  you come back," and the Core Soul says, "I promise
  that things are much better now, and I'll protect you,"
  and whatever else one says in full consciousness that this is
  what the fragment needs.
  Again, consciousness
  is the key. The Core Soul consciousness is saying, "I understand
  that you're going to be freaked out," and so on. So there's
  this negotiating (as when you do the process in the shamanic
  way) on a conscious level, usually with thoughts, words and emotions.
  There can be much fear attached in the reentry of the lost soul
  aspect, and the memory in the physical body has to be released
  from the physical body as well as on the cellular level.
  It is different when
  we're working energetically with the resonance. When you're working
  with the etheric body, that then heals the physical body. When
  you're working only energetically with the guides, we're doing
  the resonance modulation without running information through
  the brain, without your experiencing "Oh, my God! I'm so
  terrified, and I'm having nightmares, and I'm having emotional
  reactions because of the fragments coming back, and I'm trying
  to integrateonly I'm going through this depression,"
  and so on. You see, that is the modulating process, but it's
  much slower in the shamanic way because it's being directed through
  the consciousness of the person. That's why there's more suffering
  involved in [the shamanic way] of integration; that's why the
  process takes much longer, in your terms, and so on.
  As we assist energetically,
  we send love and radiant light to replace the darkness, the fear,
  that the soul aspect felt . . . to neutralize any dark energy
  that was adhering to the aspect. With every breath out, the residue
  of that aspect's experience is washed away. We energetically
  give the person the absolute knowledge and belief that all of
  her/him is totally of the light. We endeavor to make this as
  comfortable as possible. We manifest golden light energy for
  the warmth, the love, and the safety.
  After soul retrieval,
  integration of the returned soul aspects is necessary, and it
  is our perception that this is what is so difficult when you
  do it the shamanic way. In the latter, once the retrieval is
  done, then the client is generally left to go through the rigors
  of integration on his or her own. And we suggest that in having
  the assistance of guides who specialize in this and who understand
  this energetically, the process can be much swifter and much
  more comfortable because of what we termed as the subtle modulations.
  As carefully and subtly
  as we work to modulate both the fragment's resonance and the
  Core Soul's resonance, there is still an adjustment period because
  what happens is: With any change that you go through as a human
  being there is an adjustment period because suddenly what seemed
  familiar to you is now altered. This is minimized, however, by
  taking the energetic approach with your high guides of the light
  rather than by undergoing a process on a linear level in a soul
  journey, with its psychological and emotional integration of
  the parts that takes many months to complete, that is often disturbing
  and that requires much strength on the part of the person undergoing
  the process. (We're not suggesting that there's only one way
  to do this. What is appropriate for some is the shamanic route,
  and so on.)
  When you have several
  "soul fragments" in a particular lifetime and you do
  not incorporate them, this contributes to what you call "karma"
  if you are not conscious of those fragments and/or of multidimensional
  lives, which you term "reincarnational." Then for each
  multidimensional life there are soul fragments that need to be
  brought back. Merging with the Higher Self requires the soul
  integration process of returning these lost soul aspects.
  (In case you are wondering, it is not really possible for the
  integration of soul fragments in a non-incarnated state. If you
  had some soul fragments missing, you died, and your soul left
  your bodywhat you would think of as "past lives"
  or lost soul aspects, you could not decide NOT to incarnate again:
  You couldn't just arbitrarily decide NOT to have the fragments
  retrieved.)
  The Core Soul is what
  would reincarnate because of the laws of what you call Karma,
  which really have to do with where your growth stopped when the
  body died. So if you're unable to achieve that integration in
  this body in this life,, that still must be achieved, and that's
  what you call Karma. So you go to the next incarnation and the
  work still needs to be done to integrate that. (And in each multidimensional
  lifewhat you term "reincarnational" lifethere
  are soul aspects of other beings sharing each of those "past"
  lives with you; there are also "future" lives and present
  lives.)
  If you still remain
  unconscious of those other multidimensional lives, you bring
  their "influences" with you to your "next"
  incarnation, hopefully to awaken to the reality that they're
  "out there." We will qualify this: It really more concerns
  "issues" that are so dramatic and intense in certain
  lifetimes that they carry over, if you will, to other lifetimes.
  Say you have this issue going on in five or six lifetimes, and
  you're not "getting it" in any of the lifetimes. It
  will continue to magnify and goad you intensely, and then, hopefully,
  at least in one lifetime you will get it. Coming to that consciousness
  will then filter through the Higher Self (and the Higher Self's
  growth as a part of the process) to the other lives. And that
  can be neatly resolved so that you no longer carry that with
  you.
  Ifimagine ityou
  have this "problem" in six lifetimes and you're not
  getting it . . . you're being very dull, indeed, about the whole
  thing or very stubborn, or whatever it might be that is keeping
  you from seeing this. Of course it's going to compound and find
  expression further, and then it can be sort of nightmarish because
  the problems resonate back and forth to each life expression
  until the lessons are learned. This is what this has to do with
  becoming conscious. When we say you must become conscious of
  your multidimensional lives we really mean: Become conscious
  of the issues you're carrying that you haven't resolved.
  There are extreme cases
  of soul fragmentation in which a person can be "occupied"
  by another entity, or other entitiesunfortunately, usually
  of what you term "the dark." In schizophrenia, for
  example, you have the nature of the extreme separation inherent
  in the term: the schism, or split, between the parts and the
  whole of the Core Soul. Say you have so many pieces and there's
  some integrity that holds them together. Say you lose 50 "pieces"
  out of 100. (We're just using this figure for the sake of example;
  it really doesn't make sense to us). You're still functioning,
  but people are going to think you're very odd, indeed, at this
  point. If you lose more than that, however your personality was
  expressed is going to become very vague. Actually, you may well
  be inhabited by a negative entity because of the weakness of
  your will. Because of the breaking down of the integrity of the
  parts to the whole, then the will may become prey to entities
  that are "up to no good," as you would term it.
  For soul retrieval
  to occur, a person needs to realize that s/he has fragments and
  intend that they return. Without these two requirements, it cannot
  happen. Now (and understand and feel that this a more hopeful
  answer), for those of you who are conscious of being on an Ascension
  pathand who are consciously working with your guideswith
  your intent and your consciousness that you do indeed have soul
  fragments, a sort of package is created in which your guides
  have an understanding. This understanding is that in order for
  you to ascend, soul retrieval must be done. Eventually this will
  be taken care of between you and your guides out of your own
  consciousness anyway, not even necessarily because you decided
  one day actually to go through the process of soul retrieval.
  Although it is rare for parts simply to come back on their own,
  this can sometimes be achieved with your just being conscious
  that they might exist . . . and the having the intention that
  your guides help them merge again with you. The consciousness
  that you may have the lost soul aspects is prerequisite to having
  this process be possible without assistance. Primarily we wish
  you to know that we do this energetically.
  The illusion of unwholeness
  is what we're addressing here, so you simply let go of the illusion
  of unwholenss and you automatically have health, love, and everything
  else you ever dreamed of. However, you are so fond of your illusionsyou
  know: Your ego says, "Well, I have to work really hard for
  this or I won't deserve it." If you want to make it hard,
  and your belief system says, "If it's not hard, I'm not
  going to value it," or whatever other illusions are there,
  it will indeed be difficult. If you want to buy into its taking
  longer, you can make it be even harder . . . or you can have
  it now.
  The reason you can
  have it now is that the Whole exists whether you see it or believe
  in it. The Whole exists for all time and alwaysnow, and
  in the past, and in what you call the future. Everything is all
  there NOW. So all you do is choose to experience the whole thing
  now, periodinstead of just experiencing part of it,, but
  first you have to believe it's possible to do that. Looking at
  a hologram and seeing the whole, all the possibilities at one
  time, is what reality is, what Totality is.
  Separation from that
  union is the illusion that you can experience this part only
  between now and five minutes from now, or for this lifetime,
  or whatever other restrictions you want to put on it, or "until
  I get well," or "until I have enough money," or
  "until my mother starts acting like a normal human being."
  So you can restrict yourself in as many ways as you can imagine,
  but the simple truth is that you are already whole. You are already
  well and healthy. Only the illusion of not being whole keeps
  you from experiencing it.
  It's the relinquishing
  of illusions, again. It's that easy. Whatever you need to set
  up a session in the light, bring in all your guides and say,
  "This is what I want. I am intending that I relinquish anything
  that's standing in my way of joy, love, and wholeness,"
  and so on. Of course it CAN happen instantly, but typically there
  are too many sorts of hidden beliefs back there saying that this
  can't happen.
  All of these suggestions
  are to bring you back to your own sense of control and power
  over your destiny, and your health, and your wellness, and your
  wholeness, and so, yes, you start with techniques that you believe
  are tools that you need in order to accomplish something. You
  can always take the shortcut, however, and then just BE itor
  you can use the tools.
