A Simple 10-Step Letting Go Ceremony

Letting Go Ceremony

A letting go ceremony during a transition such as a divorce or uncoupling can provide immense emotional healing and closure. It offers a dedicated space to acknowledge and release the pain, resentment, and attachments of divorce or separation.

It provides a sense of closure and allows individuals at the end of a marriage to consciously let go and accept the end of their marriage or coupling. It creates a space for emotional healing by releasing built-up emotions and resentment.

The result can be a renewed sense of freedom and empowerment. It offers an opportunity to reflect on lessons learned, set new intentions, and embrace a future filled with possibilities.

Ultimately, a letting go ceremony can support individuals in moving forward with renewed strength and optimism.

Instructions for the Ceremony:

1. Write down the painful moments and actions from the relationship, the betrayal, hurtful words, loneliness, anger, regrets- committed by you, your ex, or both

2. Write words associated with that period of time, or the relationship.

3. Write a letter to this person (optional). Say everything you ever wanted to say.

4. Write down where you are with forgiveness, with your self and the other person

5. on a separate piece of paper, write down what you are opening your life up to and what new opportunities you will seek. What new feelings are you open to? What new activites will you try? What does your future look like ( as much detail as you can see even if it is just one thing)?

6. Put the "future" letter in another room, or on a table in sight but not in the immediate

area.

7. Safely burn, shred, or tear up the first letter. Envision yourself letting all of it go, letting it be in the past where it belongs. Have friends with you if you choose. Say"goodbye" out loud.

8. Sit for a minute or two taking deep cleansing breaths. Honor what you have learned, use imagery to form a visual of the relationship as it was, evaporating into the past.

9. After at least 10 min, pick up the "future"letter and just hold it or read it, tell yourself there is now room for new relationships and experiences.

10. Sit for as long as you need to feel the space opening for healing.
