Signs of a Soul Tie
-
You feel a strong attachment to them. One sign of a soul tie is a deep connection and sense of attachment. If you have a soul tie with someone, you might even get the sense that you two are meant to be together. [5] X Research source
-
You have an empathetic connection with them. If you’re really in tune with someone’s feelings and emotions and your mood shifts with theirs, it’s likely that you have a soul tie. You might even feel physical pain when they do. [6] X Research source
-
You react strongly to them. Do your emotions always seem heightened around the other person? A strong reaction to their name and thoughts or mentions of them is also a symptom of a soul tie. [7] X Research source
-
You want to spend time with them and get to know them better. If you’re eager to know everything about a person and wish you were always together, you probably have a soul tie with them. [8] X Research source
-
They feel familiar to you. Do you know those people who you feel like you’ve known forever even after you’ve just met? That’s a sign of a soul tie. [9] X Research source
-
They show up at a pivotal time in your life. Maybe you experienced a loss, moved to a new place, took a new job, or started at a new school just before you met them. This could be a sign that they are your soul tie to help you learn a life lesson. [10] X Research source

How to Break a Soul Tie
-
Start by acknowledging the soul tie. Examine your current or past relationship objectively. Bring awareness to the soul tie you have with another person. [19] X Research source
- It’s especially important to break a soul tie with anyone you have a negative connection or unhealthy relationship with.
-
Get rid of the other person’s material possessions. Physical items can carry energy and keep your soul tie in place. Return anything that belongs to the other person. Then, gather up any photos, mementos, or other items that remind you of them and throw them away. [20] X Research source
- Delete them off of all of your social media accounts, too. [21] X Research source
-
Explore your feelings in a journal. Write down your thoughts about and experiences with the other person. This is a great way to get out all of the emotions you have surrounding the relationship and help you move on. [22] X Research source [23] X Research source
- After writing read it out loud to yourself.
- Many times, you are frustrated and angry because you have not been heard, valued, or respected.
- You can overcome this, by expressing, actively listening, understanding, and validating yourself. [24] X Research source
- Alternatively, you could write the other person a letter that expresses all of your feelings. Don’t send it to them—burn it (safely!) to release yourself from the soul tie.
-
Make a decision to break the soul tie. Set an intention to sever the soul tie and release the other person from your life. Visualize yourself cutting the cord between you two. [26] X Research source Verbally break any vows you’ve made to them. [27] X Research source
- You might say, “I renounce any agreements I’ve made with Robin. I release them from my life and cut the tie that binds us.”
-
Work with a therapist if you need support. It can be really tough to deal with breakups and the fallout from toxic relationships. To help you break those soul ties, learn to cope, and move on, seek help from a professional. [28] X Research source
-
Pray if you are a religious person. If you’re breaking an ungodly soul tie, repent for your sins and renounce the bond between you and the other person. Pray for healing and thank God for cleansing you. [29] X Research source Here’s a prayer you can use:
- “Lord Jesus, I am guilty of sexual sin and of having formed ungodly soul ties. I confess my sin to You and ask You to forgive me and to cleanse me. Loose me from these ungodly soul ties as I renounce each one in the power of Your Name. From now on, I yield my life and my body totally to You. Make me what You created me to be. In Your Name I pray and receive by faith. Amen.”
