Place a clear quartz crystal in front of you at eye level or hold it in your hand - relax totally and project yourself inside the crystal.

Now sit on the floor of the crystal and invite into the crystal the persons from whom you wish to cut any negative ties. Visualize that person entering the crystal and sitting opposite you on the floor of the crystal.

Open your heart centre and see a ray of green light go out from your heart and connect to their heart centre and telepathically communicate to them that you are setting them free to follow their highest good. The heart centre is the centre of unconditional love - any connections from or into your heart centre are not binding - they are never harmful.

Ties into the lower three chakras, however, can be problem, and you must use your descrimination to see if they are necessary. Observe your lower three chakras and just notice if you can see any cords or ties connecting you to the person opposite you between the lower three chakra. Sense the energy of the connection to see if it is uplifting and charging or whether it is draining. If it is draining your energy, it is a negative tie and should be cut. Cut the cord in the middle in whatever way feels appropriate (e.g. saw it, burn through it, snap it), and pull the roots of the cord out of your chakra and out of the chakra of the person sitting opposite you. Now find a way to destroy the old cord. For example, burn it or bury it. Use your imagination. Be creative.

Forgiveness!

Even if you discover a tie into your solor plexus from someone who is trying to control you, realize that holding anger and resentment towards that person will only strengthen the negative tie. Come from the heart and forgive the person. Know that no one can control you unless you allow it. Forgiveness dissolves the negative ties and sets everyone free.
