You Released the Soul Agreement—So Why Does It Still Feel Unfinished?
You did the work. You recognized the pattern, you saw the contract for what it was, and you let it go. You wrote it down, burned the paper, spoke the words, and felt the shift. And yet—something still lingers.
Maybe an old emotion resurfaces. Maybe someone from the past reaches out. Maybe you just wake up one day feeling like you're right back where you started.
This is the part no one really talks about: releasing an agreement is one thing—fully stepping out of its energetic pull is another.
Why Does Old Energy Try to Pull You Back?
When you break a karmic contract or release a soul agreement, you shift an energetic pattern that has been running—sometimes for years, sometimes for lifetimes. Your nervous system, your subconscious mind, and even your external reality may not instantly register the change.
Here’s why you might feel the pull even after you’ve done the work:
🔥 Muscle Memory in the Energy Field – Just like a physical habit, your energetic body has "muscle memory." If you've been caught in a dynamic for years, your system may reflexively try to return to what’s familiar.
🔥 The Universe Testing the Closure – Sometimes, the energy of the past resurfaces to see if you’ll respond differently. Not as a test in the punishing sense, but as a way to solidify your choice.
🔥 A Part of You is Still Energetically Attached – Releasing isn’t just about cutting something away; it’s also about reintegrating what was lost. If there was a version of yourself tied up in that contract, a piece of you might still be searching for closure.
🔥 Other People's Energy – If this contract involved another person, they might still be holding onto the energetic tie, even if you’ve cut yours. Some connections don’t dissolve overnight. READ THIS POST WITH MORE INFO ON THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF ENERGY EXCHANGE
How to Know If You’ve Fully Let Go
Ask yourself:
☑ Do I feel emotionally neutral about it? If there's still a charge—anger, sadness, guilt—there might be energy left to clear.
☑ Am I looking for signs that it’s still there? If you're scanning your reality for confirmation that it’s "really gone," you might still be holding onto it.
☑ Has my behavior actually changed? If you find yourself entertaining the same dynamics, even with new people, the pattern might still be playing out.
☑ Do I feel a sense of completion? Even if the situation wasn't wrapped up in a neat bow, does it feel closed in your body?
A Ritual for Releasing Residual Energy
If you sense that the contract is still pulling at you, try this:
Sit in silence. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and ask yourself: Where do I still feel this energy? Let your body show you.
Write down the lingering emotion. Be specific—what still feels unresolved?
Create a movement-based release. Shake your hands, tap your heart, physically wipe your arms and shoulders as if dusting off old energy.
Visualize a door closing. See yourself stepping into a new space, separate from the past. Let a new light fill the space.
Affirm your freedom: “This is closed. My energy is my own. I am free. They are free. This is for the greatest good.”
Moving Forward Without Looking Back
When old energy tries to pull you back, it doesn’t mean you haven’t done the work—it means you’re on the edge of fully stepping into something new.
The key is to recognize the pull for what it is: not a sign to return, but a sign to move forward. This may be a time to double up on your spiritual protection.
