Soul and Life Force Retrieval
In the Yungdrung Bön tradition, there are many rituals for healing and the restoration of peace and harmony. Among them, is the ritual known as Lalu Chilu, Soul Retrieval, and Life Ransom. This ritual is performed for those who have a diminished or damaged soul or life force. The symptoms of this can be a loss of energy and/or interest in life, continually occurring misfortune, accidents or obstacles, an illness that cannot be diagnosed or cured with medical treatment, or an interruption of the lifespan that creates the circumstance for an untimely death, to name a few.
