What is a soul tie?
At its core, a soul tie is essentially a spiritual connection between two people.
It is an invisible attachment that exists between two souls.
This connection is usually formed from a shared history or experience to intense feelings of closeness and love.
Soul ties can be positive or negative.
Although not impossible, it isn’t easy to break once a soul tie is formed.
This is because the connection goes beyond the physical and emotional levels; it reaches into the spiritual realm.
Soul ties are incredibly powerful because they can affect not only our emotions and thoughts but also our very identities.
Whether they help us to grow and thrive or limit our potential and hold us back, soul ties have the potential to shape every aspect of our lives.
Soul tie vs. soul mate – what’s the difference?
Most people hear the words “soul tie” and “soul mate” and assume they have similar meanings.
But there is a key difference between these two concepts:
While soul ties are formed through shared experiences or emotions, soul mates represent two individuals whose souls are actually connected.
Soul mates have a deep, innate understanding and connection with each other, often from the moment they meet.
Whereas soul ties are created through choice and the sharing of experiences and energy.
Types of soul ties – how they’re formed
There are 3 different kinds of soul ties, and they’re all created in different ways:
Emotional
An emotional soul tie is formed when two people form a deep emotional connection, usually through sharing intense feelings and experiences.
There are positive and negative emotional soul ties.
Positive emotional ties are generally healthy and positive, creating a sense of unity and connection.
They help keep you grounded, stick by your side during tough times, and make you feel loved and supported.
On the other hand, negative emotional soul ties can be harmful and toxic.
This kind of soul tie doesn’t have your best interests at heart and can be controlling or manipulative.
Physical
A physical soul tie is created when two people share a physical connection, usually through intercourse.
When you have intercourse with someone, you reveal every part of yourself – good and bad aspects of your personality, body, thoughts, and feelings.
This physical act creates a deep, spiritual connection between you and the other person.
When you have a physical soul tie with someone, you may feel a deep sense of intimacy and connection with that person, even if you don’t have an emotional connection.
Social
As humans, we are social beings.
We need connection and interaction with others to thrive.
So it’s no surprise that soul ties can also be formed through social interactions.
A social soul tie is created when you have a strong, meaningful connection with someone – whether it’s a close friendship or a deep, romantic relationship.
This kind of soul tie can bring a sense of belonging and acceptance.
Social soul ties are my favorite kind of soul ties because they can be so positive and uplifting.

How to break a soul tie
Breaking a soul tie can be challenging and complex since it requires careful consideration of your own psychology and the deeper, underlying dynamics of your relationship with the other person.
However, it is not impossible to do.
If you suspect that you have developed a soul tie with someone, there are several steps you can take to break the bond:
1. Identify the soul tie
If you want to break a soul tie, typically, you already have an idea of the person who you want to break this bond with.
This may be someone you had a romantic relationship with, a close friend, or even a family member.
Once you have identified the person, it is important to take some time to reflect on why you want to break this bond.
Are there negative emotions such as anger or resentment associated with this person?
Do you feel like your interactions with this person are draining or toxic?
Taking some time to reflect on your reasons for wanting to break the soul tie will help give you clarity and focus as you move forward.
2. Set the intention to break the tie
Some things are easier said than done and to break a soul tie, you will need to decide firmly that this is what you want.
This may be more difficult if the person is someone close to you, but you must decide with a clear head and an open heart.
If the person you have the soul tie with is negatively impacting your life, then it’s better to break the bond and move on.
Part of setting the intention to break the soul tie is also coming to terms with the fact that you may never have a relationship with this person again.
This can be difficult, but it is necessary if you want to truly break the tie.
3. Take steps to distance yourself from this person
In order to break the soul tie, you will need to take steps to distance yourself from the person you want to break this bond with.
Get rid of any material items that remind you of this person, and if possible, avoid any social situations where you may run into them.
You want to avoid any triggers that can cause you to think about the person or feel any residual emotions.
If this person is negatively impacting your life, remember that it’s best to break the bond and move on.
4. Visualize the process of breaking the tie
One way to break a soul tie is with visualization.
In your mind, you can visualize yourself severing the bonds that tie you together and moving on from this person’s influence.
This will help release any residual emotions or attachments you may have to this person.
5. Release the past
To break a soul tie and move on, you must release any negative emotions or attachments you have to this person.
This step is probably the most difficult because, as humans, we are wired to hold on to things that are familiar to us.
If someone has hurt us in the past, we almost don’t want to forgive them because it feels like they are getting away with something.
However, if you want to break the soul tie and move on, then forgiveness is key.
Try to see the situation from the other person’s perspective and understand that they may have their own issues that they are dealing with.
You don’t have to forget the past, but forgiving this person and releasing them from their negative impact on you will help to free yourself from the soul tie.
You will truly be able to move on when you release yourself from the past and allow yourself to grow and heal.
