More About Cord Cutting

If you’ve been trying to release yourself from a person, place, or situation that you just can’t seem to escape, then its likely there are energetic cords keeping you stuck.

An energetic cord is exactly how it sounds: a spiritual “rope” that attaches you to another. These cords of attachment refer to the invisible energetic connections that can form between people on a subtle or energetic level.

Cords can exist between two beings: lovers, family members, friends, co-workers, and colleagues. Pet owners and their pets, teachers and students, enemies, and rivals, etc. They can also form with certain situations, physical locations, and addictions. Anytime there’s an emotional connection (be it negative or positive) the possibility of forming an energetic cord between those beings is there.

We can have many cords with one person, because there is more than one attachment to another. Cords usually attach with someone with whom you share a karmic, or soul, contract. You’re born with some of these cords and attach others throughout your life. Those who believe in the concept of past lives believe that energetic cords are maintained between lifetimes, and these can be some of the hardest cords to cut.

I would like to explain negative cord attachments to my clients this way:

Picture a rope between you and someone you care about who is going through a particularly difficult or detrimental time. Let us use addiction as an example. You have tried to help in every viable way but haven’t been able to.

A great visual is to picture a corn maze. The person you care about is running through it and trying to find their way out. Thrashing, bumping into things and taking dead end paths. You are at the other end of that rope, blindly being banged around and possibly creating more weight and more resistance to the situation. You are not helping this way, nor is it helping you.

Instead, picture cutting the cord with that situation. Not the person necessarily, but the situation itself. Rise up and see it from s aerial view. You can see the pitfalls and blockages, you can also clearly see the exit, but you are no longer attached to it. You are observing without inserting additional weight or pressure. As you watch, see the steps they must take to get through.

The spiritual community doesn’t put enough emphasis on energetic cords and cord cutting. Which is sad because Spirit teaches us that letting go of toxic attachments is important for shadow work, healing, and the direction of your trajectory. If you have too many energetic cords attached, you may feel weighed down and pulled in many different directions. If you don’t have any energetic cords, you might feel lonely and unfulfilled.

Not every energetic tie is a negative thing. Positive cords can provide love, peace, support, encouragement, and inspiration. Yet negative cords can drain your energy, cause emotional distress, or limit your own personal growth if not addressed.

Signs of Negative Energetic Cords

Even if you can’t spiritually “see “these cords, you may feel their effects in other ways including:

· Emotional or mental blocks

· Relationship problems

· Feeling “drained” of energy, particularly after around that person/being

· Feeling pulled in many different directions, scattered and unsure of your life’s purpose.

· Not being grounded in reality: head always in the clouds or an overload of anxiety

· Health problems with no explainable reason

· Chakra blockages

· Thinking of someone of whom you haven’t in a long time AND/OR having them appear in your dreams.

It’s important to cut negative spiritual cords. Although it’s not the kinds of work that’s commonly practiced in our modern, Western world, cord cutting is vital if we’re able to release ourselves from old its, let go of the past and move on.

The actual act of cord cutting can be managed in diverse ways. But they all involve the sincere intention to release and let go of the ties and attachments that no longer serve you.

To prepare for your Cord Cutting session:

· Take some time to think about what cords you want to cut.

***It is important to understand that we don’t always want to, or are able to, cut an entire person pr place out of our lives. We may have positive and negative cords associated with a person, place, or thing. In these cases, we are mindful to maintain the positive ones and only cut the negative ones. This may be the case with family members, coworkers, friendships, romantic relationships, and places you live, work and vacation to. ***

· Write a list of cords you would like to cut. We will review and use this list during your session.

· Personify the emotions or addictions that aren’t connected to a visually tangible object or person. Like jealousy, inadequacy, anger, anxiety, depression, etc, so you can visually attach your cord.

· Decide what your cords look like. Many clients envision a rope or a symbolic umbilical cord of sorts that connects from your body to the person, place, or emotion.

· Choose a tool to would like to use. Clients have envisioned scissors, a knife or even an axe.

***Note: Some practitioners suggest removing the cord from the root. I do not suggest this method. Ripping something out this way can be too intense and potentially painfully detrimental. ***

· Determine if you would like all the cords cut at once or if you would like to cut them individually. Your list will help us determine which may be grouped together. I strongly recommend one at a time.

· Decide what positive energy you want to bring into your life.

During Cord Cutting session:

Be fully present keeping your intentions in mind.

An energetic channel will be made to keep your energy flowing easily and keep the process flowing.

You will be guided to:

Envision your pre-determined cords extending from you to the negativity you are separating from, and when to cut each cord.

Cut the cord close to your body, then visualize the negative entity with the long end of the cord, falling away out of view. Then envision the small remnant of the cord attached to your body wither up and fall away.

Let yourself feel the weight being lifted from your body, as we recite affirmations to keep you protected.

We will affirm that you are no longer connected to that entity, that it is not allowed to access or attach to your energy again, and you are free from it forever.

You will be energetically cleared from my end, and we will start the process again with the next cord.

It is suggested to go slowly. We may not get to cut every single cord in one session. This is completely acceptable. You will know how much you can do, and when to pause as you release. It is more important to mindfully and thoroughly cut each cord and process your associated feelings, than it is to go quickly and not have a chance to mentally and emotionally process the release between each one. We must also allow time to re-balance your energy before we end the session. This is especially important for healing. It’s like stitching after surgery. This step cannot be skipped.

After a Cord-Cutting session:

Cutting cords is energetically draining, but the benefits are life changing.

You may feel lighter and relieved, yet tired. Drink plenty of water and allow your body to rest. This is the time to journal if it is something you do, as you reflect on the burdens you have let go.

Understand that certain situations may still exist around you. You will learn to be around them without attachment… like watching a movie, or that maze from an ariel view. You will remind yourself over and over that these situations are no longer connected and no longer have a hold on you.

We are human and can all slip back into patterns. It can take some time to fully release a connection on all levels of our being. If you are letting go of daily issues within a work environment, an intense past relationship, or need to cut ties with a toxic family member, it may take some time, so be patient with yourself.

While you may have completely released the unhealthy energy and negative emotions that were holding you back at this time, it is possible that you may need to cut additional cords again in the future, as new things arise, or old things come into view.

All healing is a process. Attachments do not form in a day therefore they cannot be expected to be removed in a day. Cords can run deep, as they can be deeply ingrained in our psyche. Cutting them is a big first step forward! Understand that this is just the beginning of the work. It is important to understand that we must put effort into maintaining the clearing. Be proud of yourself and look forward to inviting all the healthy new experiences entering your life.

Remember to set healthy boundaries moving forward. This means spending time with people who support your well being and avoiding a strong connection with those who drain your energy.

Do not underestimate the power of forgiveness. Forgiveness is for YOU. Forgiving someone does not mean you are forgetting or condoning any past transgressions. Forgiveness is to release the emotional hold something or someone has over you.

Cord-cutting rituals are a great starting point for this as they work at the root level of our emotional ties, but it is vital that you continue to do the work in ordinary reality.

Finally, have a heart-to-heart conversation with yourself about the positive changes you have made in your life and the steps you need to take to make them happen.

It would be my absolute pleasure to guide you through this process.
