Now this is just my analogy of how I think of a soul, please bear with me as I explain. Take a rope, a rope is knitted together with many strands, each strand makes the rope stronger, the rope in this picture looks very strong, very few frays.
A soul tie is not the whole rope connected, but strands of it connected to individuals, such as our kids, parents, siblings (when we are close to them). Some of the individuals have a stronger thicker strand then others, they use more of the rope. A soul tie is not necessarily through sex, I believe it can come through constant communication, it can come through deep friendships and so on. I hope this makes sense. OK, now for the hard questions to ask yourself. Have you just figured these connections would break on there own? If so have they? Connections to ex's, connections to people that you have gotten to know on a deep level. Are some of those connections pulling you down? Are they causing you strife?
I know the connections I had formed were pulling me down, they were draining me of the ultimate connection and that is with God. He can free us from the past completely, but we have to seek Him first, we have to ask Him to remove the ties with the people, because the soul is the spiritual connection to others and only He can repair us. I want the ultimate connection with God and my future significant others and I believe that God can restore what was once broken He can make whole again.
Now I am going to list verses that make reference to what I am speaking about. I want you to know that I am not making this up. I believe it is a real thing and I want my soul to be joined correctly, not just one strand but as many as God will knit together with another.
Last questions for you, is if you have connections that are not godly and you ask God to heal your soul, what kind of connections can God form that would be healthy for you?
As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

He loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.

Ezekiel 13:18-22
And say, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the women who sew magic bands upon all wrists, and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature, in the hunt for souls! Will you hunt down souls belonging to my people and keep your own souls alive? You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, putting to death souls who should not die and keeping alive souls who should not live, by your lying to my people, who listen to lies. “Therefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against your magic bands with which you hunt the souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms, and I will let the souls whom you hunt go free, the souls like birds. Your veils also I will tear off and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand as prey, and you shall know that I am the Lord. Because you have disheartened the righteous falsely, although I have not grieved him, and you have encouraged the wicked, that he should not turn from his evil way to save his life,
Psalm 19:6-12
Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat. The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Acts 2:1-47
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.

Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Matthew 5:33-37
“Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not take an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.
Deuteronomy 13:6
“If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife you embrace or your friend who is as your own soul entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve other gods,’ which neither you nor your fathers have known,
1 Corinthians 12:12-26
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
