How To Break A Soul Tie With An Ex: 9 Methods

Have you ever felt like you can’t shake off a person, even when they’re no longer in your life? Do specific memories or emotions haunt you long after a relationship ends? If so, then you may have a soul tie with your ex. Soul ties are emotional bonds that form between two people and can be challenging to break. However, it is possible, and we’ll show you how to cut soul ties and break the emotional bond with an ex once and for all.

Even when we’re no longer together, our bonds can still bind us and hold us back.

What are Soul Ties?

But first, what exactly are soul ties? Soul ties are spiritual connections that can form between two people who are typically involved in deep relationships. These connections can be positive or negative and can significantly impact our emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

Positive soul ties typically occur between family members, close friends, or romantic partners who share a deep love and respect for each other. These bonds create feelings of warmth, comfort, and security.

Negative soul ties often form when we engage in unhealthy relationships with others. They may stem from co-dependency issues or traumatic experiences that leave us feeling emotionally attached to someone toxic to us. Negative soul ties can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and even physical illness.

It’s important to recognize the presence of soul ties in your life so that you can work towards breaking any negative ones you may have developed over time. In the next section of this post, we’ll explore some practical ways to cut these ties once and for all.

9 Ways to Cut an Emotional Tie with an Ex

Breaking up with someone can be difficult, especially in a long-term relationship. Even after the breakup, feeling emotionally attached to your ex-partner is common. This emotional attachment is what we call an emotional tie or soul tie.

Breaking a soul tie can be challenging, but it is essential for your emotional and mental well-being. Remember that cutting ties with someone does not mean you have to hate them or hold onto negative feelings toward them.

To cut an emotional tie with your ex-partner, you must take some necessary steps.

  1. Acknowledgment. The first step in cutting a soul tie is acknowledging that there is one. To break a soul tie, start by recognizing the relationship and its impact on your life. Allow yourself to feel all the associated emotions, including grief, anger, and sadness. Pay attention to how you feel around the person and if they have an undue amount of influence over you.

  2. Set Boundaries. Once you’ve acknowledged the soul tie, set boundaries with the person. First and foremost, try avoiding contact with them for some time until you feel like you’re ready to talk without any emotions involved. You must unfollow them on social media sites and delete their phone number from your contacts list to remove the temptation to ‘check in’ on them. Then take practical steps such as limiting contact with that person or avoiding places where they usually hang out. It’s essential to prioritize your needs in this process, even if it hurts the other person’s feelings.

  1. Disposal. Remove items in your home that remind you of your relationship. Objects and belongings hold a lot of sentimental value and can only serve to remind you of your loss. You need to throw them out or give them away so they are completely removed from your space. Storing them away in your home only serves as a temptation to go and look at them and bring back memories you probably don’t need.
  1. Forgiveness. This is not about forgiving your ex for any wrongdoing but more about being an immense act of kindness for yourself. Let go of all your grudges against them. Holding onto resentment is unhealthy and can impact your future health and relationships. It’s like releasing a huge weight from your shoulders and your heart. It’s not easy, but totally worth the effort.

  1. Meditate. Meditation helps to clear your thoughts and brings clarity and focus to your life. It can help you to slow down and pay attention to how you feel at that moment and can provide an excellent starting point to cut emotional ties with an ex. You can also engage with your ex’s soul and let them know you will not be bound to them anymore.

  1. Healing. Engage the services of an energy healer who can sense the areas in your chakras or aura that are blocked and facilitate the healing of your energy centers. Embrace self-love and release the pain of past experiences by practicing mindfulness. Pay attention to your thoughts and feelings as they arise without ascribing judgment or criticism to them. You will then be able to see things more clearly, without getting caught up in emotional negativity, releasing you from a place of mental and emotional hurt.

  1. Focus on Yourself. Engaging in activities that bring you joy can also help break a soul tie by redirecting your focus onto yourself rather than the other person. If you had to cease doing activities you loved during the relationship, look at taking them back up again. Focus on self-care routines such as exercising, meditating, and engaging in activities that bring peace and comfort into your life. These practices will help you regain control of your thoughts and emotions while giving you the strength you need to move forward without being hindered by past connections.
  1. Self-Reflection. Another way to cut a soul tie is through self-reflection and letting go of unresolved emotions toward the person. Find closure within yourself by writing down your thoughts and feelings about them and try to understand why the relationship ended or was toxic. You can either write down everything that made the relationship not work out or consider talking through everything that happened so that there won’t be any lingering questions in your mind.

  1. Seek Support. Seek assistance from trusted friends or a professional such as a therapist who can offer guidance throughout this process. Seeking professional help will allow you to discuss how this situation has affected your life and overall well-being with a third party. For instance, therapy sessions can provide some insights into why the break-up occurred while helping you to understand how to move forward healthily. It is important to seek support from loved ones or professionals if needed – you do not have to go through this alone.

With these tools at hand – acknowledging the relationship’s impacts on us, taking practical steps like limiting contact, seeking support when necessary, and focusing on self-care practices – we can cut many of those emotional strings holding us back from living our best and fullest lives.

Remember that breaking a soul tie takes time and effort, but it will ultimately lead to healing and growth. Getting rid of a soul tie with an ex requires patience and effort, but it is possible and ultimately worth the work. By following these simple steps discussed above, you can feel more confident about moving on and focusing on your future rather than dwelling on past relationships.
