In the final episode of season 3 on Warfare, soul ties are explored, including how they are formed and their impact in personal relationships. The podcast also discusses breaking curses, agreements, vows, and soul ties for personal freedom and healing. The hosts reflect on the challenges of discussing complex topics and suggest further resources for deeper understanding.
Soul ties can be formed through triangulation and arousal structures, creating unhealthy emotional connections that can impair our autonomy and well-being.
Breaking a soul tie involves emotionally engaging with the story and person connected to the tie, speaking into the spiritual realm, and rejecting the false sense of responsibility for the other person's well-being.
Deep dives
Understanding the Four Categories
The podcast episode explores four main categories that impact our lives: curses, agreements, vows, and soul ties. Curses are harmful words or labels that someone puts on us. Agreements occur when we start believing and owning those curses as true. Vows are declarations we make to protect ourselves from further harm. Soul ties are emotional connections or bonds that are not based on mutuality and can be formed with someone who means us harm.
Triangulation and Arousal Structures
Triangulation and arousal structures are two ways that soul ties can be formed. Triangulation occurs when a child is picked by a parent over their siblings, creating a false loyalty and unhealthy bond between them. Arousal structures, whether violent or non-violent, create a sense of aliveness and heightened awareness. They can become soul ties when we rely on them to find rest or soothe ourselves.
Recognizing the Signs of Soul Ties
Signs that we may have soul ties include a lack of autonomy and freedom to make choices, feeling bound to fulfill others' demands at the cost of our well-being, and having conversations with absent individuals. Fear, demand, and a sense of life and death consequences are common indicators of soul ties. Codependency can also be a fertile ground for soul tie formation.
Breaking Soul Ties
Breaking a soul tie involves emotionally engaging with the story and person connected to the tie. It requires kindness, understanding, and grief for the ways we were seduced or bound. Breaking the tie involves speaking into the spiritual realm, severing the tie, and giving the person back to God. It is important to reject the spiritual warfare associated with the tie and release the false sense of responsibility for the other person's well-being.
Season 3 concludes with the final episode on Warfare. I am joined again by Cathy Loerzel to talk about soul ties—what they are and how they are formed. We also address how to break curses, agreements, vows, and soul ties.
