Breaking Soul Ties with Past Lovers

Breaking Soul Ties with Past Lovers

Understand what soul ties are, how they prevent you from moving forward, and the spiritual methods for breaking them permanently.

Have you ever ended a relationship only to find yourself unable to truly move on — thinking about the person constantly, comparing every new partner to them unfavourably, feeling inexplicably pulled back to them even when you know the relationship was harmful? This is the signature of a soul tie: an energetic bond formed through deep emotional or physical intimacy that continues to connect two people energetically long after the physical relationship has ended.

What Is a Soul Tie?

A soul tie is an energetic link between two people created through significant intimacy. Sexual intimacy is the most powerful creator of soul ties, but they also form through deep emotional bonding, shared trauma, intense spiritual experiences together, and in some cases through deliberate binding spells that one partner may have cast on the other.

Not all soul ties are harmful. A healthy soul tie between loving partners, or between parent and child, or between deep friends is a positive connection. Harmful soul ties are those that continue after the relationship has ended, particularly those formed in relationships characterised by toxicity, abuse, manipulation, or where one partner used spiritual means to bind the other.

Signs You Have an Unhealthy Soul Tie

The indicators of a harmful soul tie are distinctive and often distressing:

  • Inability to stop thinking about an ex despite considerable time having passed
  • Feeling emotionally hijacked by the other person's moods even without direct contact
  • Recurring dreams about the person that feel more like visitations than ordinary dreams
  • Self-destructive behaviour that began after the relationship — substance use, sexual recklessness, emotional shutdown
  • Inability to form new romantic connections despite genuine effort and desire to move on
  • A persistent sense that part of you is missing or has been taken
  • Physical symptoms — chest pain, difficulty breathing, persistent fatigue — that began after the relationship ended and have no medical explanation

The Spiritual Mechanics of Soul Tie Breaking

Breaking a soul tie is more involved than simply deciding to let go. While genuine intention is essential, harmful soul ties — especially those with a deliberate binding component — require active spiritual intervention to fully sever. The energetic cord must be identified, traced, and deliberately cut, and the disconnected ends must be sealed and healed in both people involved.

Prof Mama Jafali performs soul tie breaking as a multi-stage process. First, a thorough assessment to confirm the nature and strength of the tie. Then, a ritual severance ceremony that typically involves working with the client's personal energy field directly. Finally, a healing and restoration working to repair the areas of the energy field that were damaged by the tie's attachment, and to restore the vital energy that was being drained through the connection.

Ritual Methods for Soul Tie Release

Several traditional African methods are employed in soul tie breaking work. Cord-cutting rituals, in which a physical cord or thread is used to represent the tie and then ceremonially cut and burned, are among the most powerful. The fire transforms the energetic material of the tie, releasing both parties.

Specific cleansing baths incorporating herbs associated with release, endings, and purification are prescribed as part of the post-ritual process. Returning items belonging to the ex, or ceremonially releasing them through fire or water, breaks the physical anchors that maintain the energetic connection. A formal declaration of release — spoken aloud with full authority and intention — is the verbal component that seals the work.

What Changes After Soul Tie Breaking

Clients who undergo successful soul tie breaking consistently describe a profound sense of physical and emotional relief — as if a weight they did not realise they were carrying has been lifted. Thoughts of the ex person decrease dramatically and become manageable rather than obsessive. Sleep improves. Appetite returns. The capacity to be present in current relationships and to feel genuine excitement about new connections revives.

Some clients describe the experience as "getting themselves back" — recovering the sense of their own identity and wholeness that was obscured while the tie was in place. This is precisely accurate. A soul tie is a theft of vital energy and selfhood. Breaking it is an act of profound self-reclamation.

Moving Forward with New Protection

After a soul tie is broken, it is important to establish protective measures to prevent a new unhealthy tie from forming, particularly if you will have ongoing contact with the person (as co-parents, for example, or in a shared workplace). Prof Mama Jafali provides post-severance protection workings that create an energetic boundary, allowing necessary contact while preventing re-attachment at the deeper soul level.
