Blessing and Releasing Unhealthy Relationships

January 10, 2011 By Debra Reble

Debra Reble Blessing and Releasing Unhealthy RelationshipsBlessing and releasing a relationship with pure love, gratitude, and integrity allows us the opportunity to energetically complete any spiritual ties or unresolved business with that person. This practice empowers us to spiritually progress and create space for new more fulfilling relationships. To do this, we first have to face and resolve any unfinished patterns and grievances. Like turning over river stones, we must examine and release them without hiding behind the facade of any excuses.

You have the power to release any relationship even when the person is no longer physically here. First. bless the relationship as you release it, transcending any negativity about the other person or the relationship itself.

One way to do this is to invoke unconditional love and to visualize enveloping the other person with light energy. Acknowledge love for your being, the being of the other person, and the connection shared, while releasing the physical bonds of the relationship.

You can use the phrase “Bless and release” as a mantra or prayer to clear your body and mind so that spirit will guide you to let go and open to new possibilities. All the while, trust yourself and your connection to source, acknowledge the reasons you came together in the first place, and honor the purpose the relationship has served.

Such an energetic completion allows you to appreciate the other person and sustain the integrity of your relationship with yourself. The positive intention to bless and release the relationship opens space for both of you to transform your lives.

    Thanks for these articles.

    My lady friend dumped me a few months ago while I was overseas visiting my mother who seriously ill at the time. We’d had a rough patch a little before that but had plans to discuss everything and put ourselves ‘back on track’ on my return.

    And we did make a start on that when I got back and the ‘dumping’ that way was lifted and we began.

    Sadly though we didn’t manage to get back what was lost or make something new … there was massive family stresses in her life, and I seemed not to be able to help much.

    So, today there was a series if barely disguised texts, slow acknowledgements and I realised ‘Here we are again …’ and I went up there knowing I was to collect my belongings and never return. I’m unsiure what I feel just now, peaceful mixed with hurt?

    I know only a little of Spirit, but I wanted to be able to release the situation peaceably and send love and blessings to her on her way, she has much still to face (including soon I suspect the loss of her own mother who is not in good shape at present) and she will have to do that alone.

    Reading your pages I found what I needed and forgive me for paraphrasing your lines about ‘Two to tango …’ and ‘each responsible for the direction regardless of who terminated it’

    I know my own life will ‘feel different’ for quite some time yet, so I ask blessings and divine aid for us both … may the day come when we can speak kindly to one another again, till then may we each set a seal on our lips to say nothing harmful at least!

    Again thanks and now at 00:55am here I’ll take my leave of you.

    Thank you Debra

    Goodnight!

    Yes, I always believed that it takes one person to heal and release a relationship, YOU. Thank you for this powerful reminder.

      It just takes one person to forgive, release and heal any relationship or situation. We have that power and we need to wield it lovingly. Thank you Rachel for sharing my post. Bright blessings in the new year.

    Having a powerful process to release the ties of past relationships is so important. Even more important is to remember that we have the “power to release any relationship even when the person is no longer physically here.” Remembering this creates space to move forward with so much more ease. Thanks for the reminder Debra…beautiful post. xo

    I have been using a similar strategy when a person has tugged at my wounded heart, I send them a blessing of love. I then feel released and free to allow in relationships that are more supportive. Thanks for your post Debra! xx

    Releasing unhealthy people from our life is something that we will do as long as we live on this planet. As you so wisely say, “One way to do this is to invoke unconditional love and to visualize enveloping the other person with light energy.” These people may be on or off planet, but making peace and blessing them is healing and a blessing for all.

      Wow you said it Debra. We have to find a way to live in harmony with all people and so this template serves that purpose. We are here to love unconditionally no matter who is standing before us! Thank you and blessings for the new year

    It occurs to me that this would be a good “strategy” when we need to create more space (stronger boundaries) with some of the people who are very present in our lives, as well. Thanks for another good post.

      Yes it would be Andrea…we need to bless and release what doesn’t serve us in our present relationships on a regular basis. Thank you and many blessings in the new year <3
