As you go through life and many experiences, it is important to release anything that may be holding you back from growth and transformation. This “Breaking The Tie” Ritual helps you to ‘break’ out of anything in your life that is no longer serving you, such as beliefs, pain, and trauma while building an impenetrable shield around you and your aura.
Though there is no right or wrong way to do this ritual, you can use the provided process as a way to practice paying attention to your intuition until you’re able to do it in a way that feels right to you. Use this time as a way to practice paying attention to your intuition.
- Be sure that your area is safe from any fire hazards.
- Light a candle.
- Cleanse your area with the selenite bar.
- Write out everything that is no longer serving you or what you currently wish to release and let go of. Channel your intention and energy as you write it down.
- Place the paper at the center of the table on a fire-safe tray.
- Hold the black obsidian in your hand, and take a breath in through your nose and down to your belly, and out through your mouth seven times. Clear your mind each time. If you are having a difficult time clearing your mind, do it again until you can get it as clear as possible. (It will be normal for you to start having a ton of thoughts running through your mind. Be patient and practice. If you start to feel your heartbeat, that is even better. If you can’t, no need to worry you are still on the right track!).
- Light your palo santo stick and then wave it around your area over the black obsidian and paper.
- Read what you wrote on the paper while holding the black obsidian tightly in your hands. Feel the negative energy of the things you wrote on the paper like a warrior breaking its ties from you. As you do this, you will feel a shield grow around you and restore the energy you may have lost.
- Burn the paper on the fire-safe tray from the flame of the candle.
- As it burns, feel everything you wrote down burning with it. Imagine the chains breaking, the cords being cut, and your mind and body being freed.
- The final step is to take the ashes and flush them down the toilet. In this process be sure to do it with intention to flush the bad and unwanted energy away.
- Blow out the candle in your area and be sure that the area is safe from any fire.
