Lose the Grip of Past Loves
A spiritual perspective on why we sometimes can’t let go
Past love can be hard to get over. It can almost feel as if we are haunted by the memories of those we once loved. No matter what happened, or how things ended when you love someone romantically, it leaves an indelible mark on your heart.
Sometimes, we can make peace with the past and move on. Other times the past won’t let go. We try to move on, we focus on the present but the reminders keep coming up. This can happen even months or years after a breakup.
Why are some relationships easier to get over than others? It isn't about the amount you loved someone, it’s about what happened between you, and to some extent what didn't.
A spiritual perspective on why we sometimes can't let go
When we come together with someone romantically there is a soul agreement in place to do so. Also known as a soul contact. This means that your souls agreed, before being born, to meet and work on certain goals. To achieve this, there will be lessons you are both meant to learn.
If those lessons are not learned, there will be a draw to this person. The reason for this is that the contract is not complete. So there is this lingering feeling of unfinished business.
