How To Cut Energetic Cords

Ah yes, knowing how to cut energetic cords is an extremely helpful procedure! Let’s start from the beginning shall we? Indulge me for a sec.

Picture yourself standing in a swirling cloud of smoke. Got that image? Good, now change the smoke into energy. Let me introduce you to your aura. We are all surrounded by an energy field – our aura. Generally speaking, humans can control how far their aura extends – usually about a foot away from your body. That being said, our auras can range in size. Sometimes they are 100 feet long, and at other times, they’re five feet (they can be other sizes as well). Ever have the feeling that you’re meeting a person’s energy before you’re actually meeting the person? Exactly. You’ve just been introduced to the person’s aura. Aren’t auras absolutely fascinating?

How does this relate to cutting energetic cords you ask? Well, do let me tell you. Our aura is at the very fiber of our being. It contains everything there is to know about us. It allows us to connect to others as well as ourselves. If we’re having a bad day, it is showcased in our auras. If it’s a great day, our aura is practically singing, energetically speaking that is. As we change, our auras change. Humans are bottles of thoughts and emotions. Think of each thought and emotion as an extension of yourself. It’s an energetic trail that leads from you AND back to you aka an energy cord. Each and everyone of us creates these cords whether we want to or not. That means people can create energy cords while thinking or having strong emotions about us. If you think about it, that’s only fair because we do the exact same thing to them.

These energy cords bind us together because we are constantly interacting with each other on an energetic level. Have you ever felt attracted/disgusted/curious (and much more) to someone for no apparent reason? Yes?  You have an energy cord with that person and are likely intuitively receiving information from them. You’re connected. People can send or receive their energy (this isn’t usually on purpose). When this type of sending occurs, a cord is created.

How Can You Tell If You Have an Energy Cord With Someone?

Well, there are some obvious people we share energy cords with. For example, our parents, close friends, pets, co-workers, and yes, our ‘enemies’. The energy cords you’d have with people are completely different. Some are beneficial, while others we might prefer to do without. In other words, energy cords vary based on the relationship involved and on the energy of the day.

There are several ways to tell if you have energetic cord connections with someone. Are you preoccupied with something that isn’t really you? Are you focusing on one person/conversation/situation way too much? Are you finding it unusually difficult to get over something or someone? If you can answer yes to one or more of these, it’s likely you have energetic cords that aren’t benefitting you.

So does that mean energy cords can be beneficial? Absolutely! Ever felt like something was wrong with someone you love? What about the love you feel for your family? Do you have your dream job – that’s a great situation! These are only some examples of beneficial energy cords. We all love those!

How Do You Know It’s Time To Cut Energetic Cords? 

You know it’s time to cut energetic cords whenever they are hindering you. It doesn’t matter how they’re hindering you. As long as you’re not moving forward in your life the way you should be, it’s time to say goodbye.

Important: When you’re cutting cords, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re terminating a relationship. While you definitely can do that, you don’t have to cut such a big cord. Let’s say you had a fight with someone. You can search for the cord connected to that particular fight and only cut that particular one. That’s a way to jumpstart healing. To cut an energetic cord is simply to put a stop to something unhealthy, something that you have no use for. If you cut a cord, you can always rebuild it if you choose to do so in the future. A cord is essentially a single interaction.

How To Cut Energetic Cords

Once you’ve decided you want to cut energetic cords, get comfortable and relax. Close your eyes. Ask your spirit guides (or whomever you work with in perfect trust) to be present. Take some time to ground and center yourself. If you’d like some help with this, check out my blog post on grounding. If you like the guided meditation on that post – it’s available for you to download.

Now, let’s get started cutting those cords:

• Once you’re grounded and centered, ask for your spirit guides (or whomever you work with in perfect trust) to protect you and actively help you get rid of cords.
• Imagine yourself stepping out of your body behind you and up. There’s no need to go 90 degrees up; 70 works well. This way you can look down on your body.
• Ask for any energetic cords that might be in your body, in your aura, in your chakras that aren’t beneficial to you at the present moment in time to light up in a bright color. Think bright green/yellow/blue etc.
• Visualize your ‘psychic’ hands reaching out and gently starting to gather these cords from wherever they show up.
• As you gather the cords, tell any agreements, contracts, triggers, images etc. that are attached to these cords to find their respective cords and attach themselves to it. Watch them find their cord and stick to it with something like sticky glue – they’re not going anywhere.
• By the time all the agreements, contracts, triggers, images etc. are stuck to their cords, you’ve collected all the cords that aren’t beneficial to you. Thank the cords for what they have done for you, and inform them that you no longer need them.
• Now, you get to have some fun. Break the cords into pieces.
• Hand all the cord pieces over to your spirit guides. Ask them to remove the pieces from your vicinity, and to return them to where they belong.
• Thank your spirit guides for their protection and help. Slowly open your eyes, and return to your world feeling renewed.

That’s it. This exercise it very calming and powerful. No one is judging you for doing this, no one will know, and it doesn’t have to be a last resort. It is one of the tools available to us humans, so why not use it? You might have to do this several times until you get the result you want, but as with everything, ‘practice makes perfect’. As always, if you have any questions about this, let me know.
