Releasing a Toxic Relationship
You will need: A piece of string, scissors, two small stones and a little salt.
Place the stones apart, one representing you and the other the person you wish to release. Connect them with the string and sprinkle a little salt around your stone for protection.
Hold the string and say:
By earth beneath and winds that blow,
I release the ties and let you go.
The past remains, the lessons stay,
But your hold on me ends today.
No anger held, no hatred cast,
I free myself from what has passed.
Your path is yours, and mine is mine,
I cut this cord and break the bind.
Cut the string, imagining yourself being released from the emotional ties of the relationship.
Hold your stone and say:
My strength returns, my spirit is free,
From this moment, I choose to be me.
So shall it be.
Keep your stone as a reminder of your independence. Dispose of the string and salt responsibly.
Remember: Cord cutting does not erase memories or emotions. It symbolises your decision to move forward without allowing the past to control your future.
