As I change the energies I carry and suffuse myself with, so do my friendships also change. In the past few years some people have fallen away and others have come to the fore. This has been an interesting experiment, an interesting thing to watch.
And also painful.
You see, I'm still connected to those others who have fallen away. What does one do with these energies of connection when the other party can't or won't continue being your friend? The nearness to me is still undiminished, yet this connection holds no great importance for these others.
I'm searching about for ways to sever these energetic filaments as they are so that they can regrow into something different if the desire is still there.
If anyone knows of a 'ceremony of severing', please let me know ;-)

I semi-sorta created one a few years back; and recently a friend suggested a refinement on it.
My own image was that I was connected by a strand of energetic soul-stuff to each person, and those strands were attached to a parachute that was billowing out behind me, as though I were dragging a sail
But when I described the ritual I'd devised, I said "umbrella" rather than "parachute"
Interesting slip, neh?
It's true, those connections are both a protection (umbrella/parachute) and a hindrance (parachutes on the ground, dragging) ... In large measure, those connections have shaped and defined who we are, who we are becoming.
I'll send you a further description of the ritual in an email, but for now -- my friend suggested that I ask St. Michael (since he's a special friend and all :-{)> ) to preserve the strands that sustain me, and to sever the strands that restrain)
It really can be as simple as that
This has always been a trouble of mine. My life has run me to so many places, and so many people have changed me and helped me. I'm more concerned with keeping and strengthening the relationships that are important to me.
fire and salt come to mind; both are cleansing.
I suggest you light some candles or a small fire. Then, gather some good salt (no rubbish) into a small bowl. Hold the bowl while thinking of these yet severed energies, and then channel it all into the bowl. Let the salt absorb all negativity. Say some prayers and breath.
Then, empty the salt reverently into the sea or some water source, to cleanse it all away.
