I often read for people who are energetically entangled with
a relationship that did not work. The
other person has moved on, may even be living with someone else, but the person
in front of me just can’t seem to let them go.
So I suggest the Ritual of Burning.
Go and buy some expensive,
beautiful paper – plain lined paper is not good enough. Buy lots of it, 50 sheets at least, so you
don’t have to have any anxiety that you might run out. Then one day, when the apartment is quiet,
turn off your phone, shut down the computer, take a sheet of that beautiful
paper and start to write. Write
everything, good or bad that you have thought about that person – how much
loved them, how much you hate them, your sorrow, your bad wishes, everything,
without restraint. Write until you’ve
feel you’ve said it all, until your hand starts to cramp. It’s okay to cry while you write.
After you feel you’ve written enough - and this is really
important, you don’t want to keep that
paper alive in your house - you then put
that paper in a fire proof dish and you set fire to it, and watch it burn, watch the words curl up and turn to ash, watch the energy go up into the air.
You can do this as many times as you like – every night for
weeks if need be (no one ever does that, but you have permission, if you want.)
There is something about having that torrent of feeling/energy leaving you,
going on to the containment of the page, and then being burnt, turning to smoke
and ash, that just lets some of that energy go.
There will come a time when you just don’t feel like doing
it anymore, where the need is not so intense… and that means you are not so
energetically entwined with that person anymore. Now you have space for someone new to enter
your life…
