Here is a great practice to help you break emotional ties to others that may bind you. It is called the scissors, and it works at both the conscious and unconscious levels, to help you from being drained from unhealthy relationships and patterns. Once you release the old ties you can actually feel the newly freed energy flow:

SIMPLE SOLUTION:
1. Lie on your back and bring both knees up toward your chest. Then reach both your legs and arms directly up toward the sky. Allow the elbows and knees to soften. Allow the thighs to rest back into the hip joints and the upper arms to rest back into the shoulder joints. Enjoy the peace you can have in this pose.
2. When you are ready, bring to mind any energy draining ties that you feel ready to break or cut. It may help to visualize who or what you are tied to and what the cord or connection looks like. If it feels comfortable, open the legs and arms toward the floor at the level of the hips and shoulders, just like two pairs of scissors opening.
3. Close the legs and arms to criss-cross, right over left. Open again. Then close and criss-cross left over right. Inhale as you open. Exhale as you close.
4. Repeat for one to five minutes until you can’t do it anymore, or until you sense you have cut all the ties. You will feel a clarity of energy around your belly and perhaps a sense of emotional relief.
5. Relax, knees to chest, and stretch the back. Then release the legs and arms to the earth.
Feel the unproductive and destructive ties broken. If it feels appropriate, you can wish all the best to whatever you have released as it finds new forms and healthy connections in the universe. Take a moment to feel and savor your freedom.
