Cutting the cord or protecting your energy
DEAR BONNIE » How can I cut cords with my ex-girlfriend so we both can move on from this relationship? We both want to move on, but it feels like we are stuck. We have broken up several times, and we always go back together; however, we are miserable once again after a few weeks. Can you give me the directions for cord cutting? — Chuck
DEAR CHUCK » Here is the info you asked for.
What are these cords? We all can form “energetic” cords that attach themselves to us and stay in our aura (energy field) and drain the energy from us, causing emotional stress or even addictions.
Cords can be made from emotions and their energy.
Where do the cords come from?
We can have cords attached to a person, an object, or any situation: two people who are in a relationship, family members, work relationships, a past life, a friendship, or even a spouse or a loved one who has passed away can share these cords of attachment.
Why do we get them?
We all have them. They are normal but ideally we just want and need our own energy without someone else getting in our way of dragging us down. Our chakra centers send out and receive energy every day, so we have the tendency to attract these cords. Some cords are out of love, and some are created because of a trauma, such as a breakup. Some come from ill feelings of anger and unforgiveness. When these cords are attached to us, we might feel the other person’s emotions and, therefore, not feel quite ourselves and become out of balance.
We could feel a sense of stress and a strain in our being. We can also pick up these cords from our environment, such as the workplace. The best we can do for ourselves is to pay attention to our bodies and minds and become attuned to when our emotions do not seem like our own. A reiki healer will know how to see or feel a cord and know how to remove it, but here are some tips you can try at home.
Cord-cutting is a simple tool to remove, dissolve, and heal the emotional, energetic energy that has become attached to you. This procedure has no actual physical cutting as it is all energetically done — they are cut and healed with energy.
1.) Create a space: Find a place that is quiet and peaceful. Make it your own sanctuary. Play soft music, burn a candle, use some essential oils, or put flowers in a vase. Make it a comfortable and safe place for you.
2.) Start the healing: Take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and imagining a white light of healing entering your body, then exhaling through your mouth, picturing a fine gray mist containing everything you no longer need to hold on to exiting your body. This is actually the cutting away of unhealthy emotional energy that can keep oneself unable to break loose of a situation or to be able to think clearly.
3.) Call in Archangel Michael: He will assist you with his sword of light and love that will gently cut away the cords that have attached to you while at the same time sending them back with love and healing to the places and situations to which they were originally attached. So you are safe and protected.
a.) Closing your eyes, scan your energetic field to see if you can see or feel any dense, hot or cold areas in your auric field. Feel any emotions that come to the surface.
b.) Try to locate where the cords are attached; they might be found in your heart center, solar plexus, sacral chakra or in several places. Some might be larger than others. They can also range in color from light to dark, with the dark being more of a problem energetically.
c.) Feel the divine energy filling your every cell and organ in your body. This is a healing experience as Archangel Michael begins to cut the cords away. You might begin to feel sensations or even emotions of relief or an emotional bond being lifted. Archangel Michael will heal the energetic holes that have been created, filling them with white light.
4.) Thank Archangel Michael: Thank Archangel Michael for the healing and end with a prayer of thanks. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and rest and relax.
Enjoy the feeling this exercise can bring to you. Do this exercise once or twice a month, or whenever you feel the need.
