Why is it so hard to CUT THE TIES?

by Maria Last on June 4, 2010

Thank you to Lorena, an IntuiWorld Member who asks a question about cutting old ties with a person.  

 ”…. it is as if an invisible web connects us and as much as I’ve tried to cut it, it keeps regenerating. So my question is, why is it so hard to cut the ties?”  

*****  

When we have spent time with a person whom we love, either physically or emotionally, energetic ties or links are formed between ourselves and the other person. These ties can run in one direction like traffic on a one way road, only from us to them or from them to us, or they can run both ways like two way traffic from us to them and from them to us.  

When one of the people in this circumstance cuts the energetic ties or begins to withdraw their energy from the relationship very often a range of ‘discomfort’ of one or both parties follows which can be displayed as sadness, depression, anger, manipulation or fear – there are a million possibilities. These reactions can often be interpreted as a sign that altering or ending the relationship is ‘wrong’ and that things are ‘meant’ to be the way they were. This is not the case.  

In order to successfully cut ties or remove ourselves from an energetically exhausting relationship we must first become consciously aware of the nature of the ties that bind us to that person.  

What is the connection really about? What is the relationship based on? Is it love, need, security, acceptance, fear…? If you were to understand the higher purpose of the relationship as part of your souls journey, what would it be? Does the relationship honour both parties in integrity (good for you, good for them and good for the greater good of both)? The question that I most often ask my clients in this circumstance is, ‘Have you graduated from the life lesson this person is teaching you and now is it time to move on and upward?’  

Remember physical and mental habits contribute significantly to our success in moving forward, what is familiar to us is often more acceptable to us even if it is causing us a lot of pain and discomfort.  

When we cut ties and remove ourselves from energetically draining circumstances there will always be a period of adjustment. Our own energy field adjusts itself to reach a higher vibration and resonate more strongly with our own true undiluted energy. Even though this is a wonderful thing, like any change it can be uncomfortable and take some getting used to.  

It is worth bearing in mind that if you cut ties with one low energy source and then rush to replace it with another to ‘fill the gap’, be aware not to repeat the cycle you have just removed yourself from.  

Give yourself the opportunity to embrace your own inner power and when the time is right you will find yourself connecting to others of similar high vibration and ecological intention.
