Breaking Soul Contracts 101: Clear Energetic Bonds and Rewrite Your Destiny
June 14, 2025 | Miriam Slozberg
Have you ever found yourself stuck in the same painful patterns? Examples are cycling relationship issues, money woes, or self-esteem problems, no matter how hard you try to change. This very frustrating situation will cause you to want to give up.
You may wonder what you are doing wrong for this to happen. At first glance, it’s easy to assume the issue lies within you. However, here is something that may surprise you: it might not be about your mind or your behaviors. In fact, you may not be doing anything wrong at all.
According to some spiritual teachers, these recurring roadblocks could stem from something much deeper—soul contracts. With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at what soul contracts are and how they might influence your path.

What Are Soul Contracts?
Soul contracts are believed to be agreements made by your soul before incarnation. These contracts often involve lessons, challenges, or even specific people you’ve agreed to meet and interact with in this lifetime. They are thought to serve a higher purpose, supporting your spiritual growth and evolution.
For example, you might have agreed to feel abandoned to learn about independence. You may have entered a relationship with a challenging partner to learn boundaries. These soul contracts aren’t punishments; these are lessons. But what if they’ve served their purpose and are keeping you from happiness?
That’s where soul contract breaking or renegotiation comes into play.
Why Break a Soul Contract?
Not all soul contracts are permanent. Think of them as more of spiritual homework; once you’ve effectively passed the class, it’s time to graduate. Hanging on to old contracts keeps new experiences at bay. It hinders your soul’s growth and keeps you energetically tied to people or patterns that don’t serve your highest interest.
Some of the indications that you could be dealing with an old soul contract are:

Repeated toxic relationship patterns
Feeling obligated or indebted to someone even after being treated unfairly
Long-standing financial roadblocks or professional standstills
Intractable emotional patterns that cannot be altered by therapy alone
A deep feeling of being “stuck” even after outer changes
Shattering these pacts is a radical exercise in self-sovereignty. It allows you to reclaim your power, rewrite your destiny, and become the master of your fate. Now, let’s discuss the process of breaking soul contracts.
This work has nothing to do with blame or evading responsibility. It’s about recognition, release, and rebirth. Here’s a step-by-step guide to beginning this powerful work.
What relationship or situation is like Groundhog Day?
Where are you most energetically drained?
Who or what keeps reappearing in your life, no matter how hard you try to release them?
Journaling, meditation, or even tarot or oracle cards might clarify things. For example, drawing cards to answer questions like “What was I meant to learn from this relationship?” or “Is this contract complete?” might give you insight.
In some cases, if the situation feels karmic or ancestral, study family patterns or past life regressions. Sometimes these contracts are carried forward from other lifetimes or inherited through your family line.
The Second Step is to Acknowledge the Lesson
As you prepare to end a soul contract, respecting its intention is key. Ask yourself:
What did I learn from this experience?
How did I grow?
What about this contract showed me something new about myself, love, trust, strength, or resilience?
This step is essential because it shifts the energy of the contract. It turns pain into wisdom, resentment into release. Without acknowledgement, the cycle may repeat itself in another form.
Affirmation for this step: “I honor the lesson and the purpose this contract served. I now choose to grow beyond it.“
Now, let’s explore the third step.

The Third Step is to do a Cord-Cutting or Contract Release Ritual
Once you’ve clarified and honored the contract, it’s time to cut the cords and release the energy. Here’s a simple ritual:
Set Sacred Space: Light a candle, burn incense or sage, and center yourself through breathwork or meditation.
Call in Spiritual Assistance: Request your guides, angels, ancestors, or higher self to assist.
Speak: Mutter something like this:
“I now release the soul agreement between me and [name or energy of person/situation]. I recognize the lessons learned and announce that this agreement is done. I reclaim my energy, sovereignty, and authority. So it is.”
Visualize: Imagine energic threads or cords between you and the other person withering away or being cut with a golden sword. See your energy returning to you. Enjoy the lightness.
Ground: Place hands on heart or on earth and thank yourself for having completed this deep inner work.
The Fourth Step is to Rewrite the Contract
Once you’ve cleared space, you get to co-create a new energetic agreement in alignment with your new truth. It’s your opportunity to rewrite your destiny. Ask yourself:
What do I want to possess now?
What kind of relationships, career, or self-concept do I want to create?
What energies do I invite into my life from here forward?
Write out a new soul agreement in your journal. It may look something like this: “I now choose to live in love that honors my truth. I will do work that utilizes my gifts, and a life of purpose and peace. I agree to sync with my highest timeline. I am free.”
This act reclaims your power and puts your conscious intention on the life you wish to live.
Even if you interpret soul contracts metaphorically rather than literally, the concept is still valid. Symbolic rituals allow the subconscious to release outdated stories and rewire beliefs, enabling powerful transformation itself.
“I need a healer to do it for me.“
A reliable energy healer will enhance the process, but you can accomplish it alone. Your intention and belief are the best tools.
“If I break a soul contract, I’m abandoning my spiritual duties.“
Not true. Breaking a contract doesn’t mean you’re selfish or neglecting your spiritual path. It’s a sign you’ve integrated the lesson and are ready for a new chapter. Evolution is the goal, not martyrdom.
Key Takeaway
Breaking soul contracts is not about erasing the past. It’s about releasing your soul from the old agreements that no longer represent who you are becoming. It’s about proclaiming: “I choose no longer to be bound by pain, duty, or fear. I choose to live as my truth.“
Ultimately, it requires courageous work. More specifically, it demands honesty, self-compassion, and trust to alter your energetic trajectory. Nevertheless, when you do the inner work, you’ll find that life unfolds in ways you never envisioned. Why is that? Because now you’re writing your story with complete authorship.
Consequently, the next time you find yourself trapped in a loop that refuses to break, ask this powerful question: “Is there a contract I need to break here?” And keep this in mind: you have the power to clear it, close it, and begin again.
You don’t need to let the past weigh you down. You can break the tie and actively rewrite your future.
