Romantic feelings can be intense, often consuming our thoughts and emotions. Whether you need to refocus your energy or find balance in your emotional wellbeing, this spell is designed to help you quell, but not obliterate, those overpowering feelings.
By channeling your intention and using specific magickal correspondences, you can gently ease your heart’s grip on someone who may be occupying too much space in your mind.
Ingredients and Their Magickal Properties
- Bay Leaf: Represents healing, protection, purification, and strength. It’s an essential component in many spells due to its versatile properties.
- Cinnamon Stick: Known for its associations with healing, success, and power. Its warm energy can aid in mending emotional wounds.
- Pink Fabric: Symbolizes self-love, calming energy, personal harmony, and matters of love. It helps to bring a sense of peace and balance.
- Black Pen/Paint and String or Ribbon: Used to personalize the spell and bind your intentions.
Instructions for Performing the Spell
Prepare Your Workspace
Find a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Cleanse your area with a smudging stick or incense to remove any negative energies.
Cut and Place the Fabric
Cut a small square of pink fabric and lay it flat on your workspace. This fabric will hold the energies of your intentions and ingredients.
Write on the Bay Leaf
Take a bay leaf and write your name on one side in large letters. On the other side, write the name of the person you wish to distance your feelings from in smaller letters. This represents reducing their impact on your heart.
Whisper to the leaf, “As I release (name) from my heart, I welcome peace and emotional balance.”
Infuse the Cinnamon Stick with Intention
Hold the cinnamon stick and imagine your heart at peace. You may say something like, “Let your power mend my heart and bring harmony to my emotions.” Visualize the healing energy of the cinnamon stick wrapping around your heart, soothing and calming your emotions.
Assemble the Spell Package
Place the bay leaf in the center of the pink fabric, then lay the cinnamon stick on top of it. Fold the fabric over the ingredients to form a small envelope. Hold this bundle in your hands, close your eyes, and visualize you and the person holding hands. As you let go of their hand in your mind, feel a sense of contentment and release.
Bind and Store the Spell
Wrap the string or ribbon around the fabric envelope to secure it. Hide this little package in a drawer or a safe place where it won’t be disturbed. This act symbolizes putting those intense feelings away, allowing you to move forward with clarity and balance.
Visualizations and Affirmations
Visualization is a key component in any magickal practice. When you visualize, you’re sending a clear message to the universe about what you want to achieve. In this spell, visualizing yourself letting go of the person’s hand helps to cement your intention of releasing those intense feelings. Here are some additional affirmations you can use during the spell:
- “I release what no longer serves my highest good.”
- “I embrace peace and balance in my heart.”
- “I am whole and complete on my own.”
Additional Tips for Success
Timing: Perform this spell during a waning moon phase, which is ideal for letting go and releasing.
Environment: Create a calm and serene environment. Light some candles or play soothing music to help you focus.
Follow-Up: After completing the spell, engage in activities that promote self-love and personal growth. This could be journaling, meditating, or spending time in nature.
