📝 The Gifts of Love
There was a time when shackles were made of iron.
Now? They come with clarity ratings and matching bands.
People don’t recognize them because they’re beautiful.
They come with tears of joy and a vision of life ever after.
They symbolize the epitome of love.
But in some cases — and not all, but enough to be worth discussing — a ring can be more than symbolic.
It can be charged.
It can be weighted with desire, fear, even domination.
It can be spiritually “programmed,” whether consciously or unconsciously, to bind another person’s will.
That may sound dramatic. But if you’ve walked the spiritual path long enough, you know — energy doesn’t care about optics. It cares about intention.
🤔 Is It Just Me?
This isn’t about one person. One ring. Or one story.
This is about what we, as spiritual beings in human form, need to remember.
Objects carry energy.
Jewelry, in particular, is worn on the body — often over energy centers, pulse points, or places of deep symbolic meaning.
A ring can symbolize love, security, commitment, protection, and fidelity.
But a necklace from a past partner will have a different meaning and purpose.
An heirloom ring never spiritually cleansed can be embumed with the thoughts of the departed:
-
- If that person’s thoughts were fear-based, it can be damaging for you.
- If for her it was a burden, it will be for you.
- If it represented wealth she wanted and deserved, then it will be love.
Look at the relationship with their spouse to determine the energy.
A gift given after an argument — not in love, but in manipulation.
Rings can carry emotional residue, energetic hooks, and in rare cases, more serious attachments.
One would think this is about belief.
But it’s about spiritual or religious practice.
Every tradition does something to infuse objects with meaning or energy:
-
- Churches bless water, oil, rings, altars, and more.
- In temples, statues are awakened with ceremony.
- In homes, scrolls are hung, prayer beads are used, and symbols are worn close to the body.
Whether it’s called sacred, holy, or ancestral, the purpose is the same:
To make something physical hold something spiritual.
So this idea of energy being in a ring or a gift?
It’s not strange.
It’s just part of how spirit has always worked through us — no matter what name we call it.
🧘🏾♀️What Spiritual Science Teaches Us
In the practice of spiritual science, we are taught that:
-
-
Every object has vibrational residue
-
Every emotion leaves a spiritual imprint
-
And every intention — good or bad — has energetic consequence
Love given in fear… can create bondage.
A gift given with control… can feel like ownership.
And an object shared with spiritual intent — even unconsciously — can create energetic interference we don’t always recognize right away.
We also learn the principle of detachment — the spiritual ability to release attachments to things and objects.
So when you lose it, you can go on.
That’s why spiritual science calls us to stay aware — not suspicious, but present.
Sometimes the only sign something isn’t right is a quiet inner shift.
Nothing dramatic. Just a knowing. A pause. A question that won’t go away.
🧂 So What Do You Do?
Here’s the truth: awareness is your first line of defense.
You don’t need rituals dripping in drama or one-size-fits-all “cleansing” techniques.
But if you suspect an object carries energy that doesn’t feel right to you — here are some suggestions to intentionally disconnect from it.
Let me stop you here:
If this is relationship-related, you’re not disconnecting from the relationship.
You’re disconnecting from the giver’s intent over you through the object — the one you love to wear every day.
How to Clear an Object
I’m going to keep this simple.
But I will say that some energy isn’t easy to remove.
In cases like that, it’s best to consult with someone who can feel the energy.
They should be able to tell you how to cleanse it.
Here are a few simple methods:
-
- Set it down in a safe place and step away. Pay attention to how your body and thoughts feel when it’s not near you.
- Ask spirit for clarity. Not to “bless it,” but to show you what’s behind it.
- Cleanse it physically.
If it’s real gold, platinum, diamonds, or other fine stones:
Sit it in salt for 3 days. (Only if it won’t harm the jewelry.)
- Bury it in real dirt for 3 hours or 3 days.
Say an affirmation to release the energy into the earth.
I’ll be honest — things are much deeper than I’m sharing here.
But this will help the gently infused items.
