RITUAL TO RELEASE A PAST LOVE

Ritual to Release Past Love and Heal the Heart

A Healing Ritual

Purpose:

To gently sever emotional ties to a past relationship, clear lingering energy, and reclaim your heart space for peace and future love.

What You'll Need:

A pink candle (for love and emotional healing)
A bowl of water (symbolizing emotional flow and purification)
A small piece of paper
A rose quartz crystal (optional, for heart chakra support)
A quiet, private space

Steps:

1. Set the Scene

Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Light the pink candle and place the bowl of water in front of you. Hold the rose quartz (if using) in your hands and breathe deeply.

2. Write the Name or Feeling

On the paper, write the name of the person you are ready to release—or, if you prefer, write the feelings that still linger: heartbreak, attachment, pain, longing, etc.

3. Reflect and Speak

Gently read the paper aloud and speak from the heart. You can say something like:

"I thank you for the love we shared, the lessons we learned, and the time we spent together. I now release you, and I set myself free. I choose peace, healing, and love for myself."

Feel the words as you say them. Let the emotions rise and fall naturally.

4. Submerge the Paper

Fold the paper and place it into the bowl of water. Let it sit for a moment as you visualize the energy of that relationship dissolving into the water—softly, peacefully.

5. Blow Out the Candle

Once you feel complete, blow out the candle and say:

“It is done. I am free.”

Dispose of the water and paper—preferably by pouring it onto the earth or down the drain with gratitude.

After the Ritual:

Cleanse your space with sage, palo santo, or sound (bells or a singing bowl).
Place the rose quartz beside your bed or carry it with you for the next few days.
Take extra care of your heart: rest, journal, walk in nature, or connect with loved ones.

Why This Works:

This ritual blends the element of water (to purify), the power of fire (to transform), and intentional words (to release). It honors the relationship without clinging to it. And most importantly—it brings your heart home to you.
