I agree with this site the most and think you could benefit from her definition; link on picture.
“Prior to our births, each one of us exists in spirit form. During this time, your spirit self (higher self or soul, are other names) selects lessons for you to learn during your next life time that will assure you achieve the most soul growth as possible. To do this, you create a life that will include many things – challenges, sadness, joy, loss, and achievements – all specially designed for your soul to grow and for you to learn certain lessons necessary for your development. The ultimate goal of all souls to have full capacity to experience, give and receive the unconditional love of the universe – and this takes many, many life times, and many, many difficult lessons…
The soul contract, the ‘deal’ you make with yourself to follow the path you all set forth, is necessarily for you to move further along in your soul’s growth. Since this process usually involves sadness and pain – just as much as it involves joy and happiness – when you come to earth, you agree to ‘forget’ this contract. In order to make sure this soul contract of your own design is followed, you choose and are assigned spirit guides help you follow this path. …
If you remembered your contract, you would certainly not learn most of the lessons, as many of us want to avoid pain (fear)! So, the idea is that all of our joys and successes, and all of our pain and hardships, are all in the contract to teach us about how to love and be loved.” (Meder, n.d.)
Contracts with Negative Entities
You can make a contract with a negative entity by agreeing to let them come into your life. It can come through obsessive thoughts, bitterness or anger that you just can move forward from. These lower vibrational emotions “are” the negative energies.
Some have been made in a past life. Personal experience, I had to do a Past Life regression to deal with this.
How to cancel them.
There are several things you can do.
You can one, ask your team and Higher Self to help you to cancel these contracts. You just say, “ I cancel the contracts I made with… or the contract I have that makes me… or the contract I made to …”
You can ask Arch Angel Michael to help you to cancel these contracts. This is debatable amongst healers and readers but I find it works just fine in some circumstances.
Get help from a healer or Reader who is experienced with this work.
If this is a past life contract I can do this in a hypnotherapy session..
