Having g ood and loving connections with others is a necessary part of a fulfilling life. These healthy connections are sometimes referred to as spiritual ties, which are waves of energy that emit from one person to another. But sometimes, these spiritual ties can become unhealthy and create a drain on your energy field. Emotions and feelings such as guilt, shame, anger and jealousy end up turning a healthy energy connection into a cord that binds.
Being bound by a cord of attachment to another person can make it easy for you to feel the other person’s emotions, which you may end up mistaking for your own. It can also keep you tied to a dysfunctional relationship or the pain of a traumatic event. But there is an easy way you can cut these cords of attachment and be able to move on.
Visualization
The best way to cut cords of attachment is through visualization. First, set aside a period of time when you will be free from interruptions. Sit or stand quietly and take a few deep, calming breaths as you ground and center yourself. Now, breath normally but be aware of your breath flowing in and out of your body. As you do this, visualize a protective bubble of pure, white light surrounding you. At this point, some people choose to call to God, angels or their spirit guides for guidance and protection. You can also call upon your Higher Self or inner wisdom at this time. Just do what feels right for you.
While you are in this protected and grounded place, think of the person to whom you feel attached. You may feel some uncomfortable emotions as you do this, but just keep in mind that you are safe and in control. Visualize a long cord of energy stretching from you to this person. As you do this, don’t let yourself become caught up in uncomfortable emotions that occur within you. Just observe them without judgment and let them float away.
Now visualize yourself holding a golden pair of scissors as you prepare to cut the cord of attachment. Send out love, compassion and forgiveness to the person you are connected to, as you prepare to cut the cord, or at least as much as you're able to send.
State the intention of what you wish to happen with this cord cutting. You might say “I cut the cord of this relationship in order to find healing”. Or, “I release us from this negativity.” Keep the energy of love, compassion and the desire for healing flowing as you do this.
Visualize the scissors cutting through the cord. See the cord of energy falling away and dissolving. You may feel a mixture of emotions or sensations as you do this. Breathe and stay grounded, as you visualize yourself surrounded by healing, loving light. Stay in this place as long as you feel comfortable then slowly bring yourself back to full awareness.
Take note of how you feel afterwards. Do you feel differently toward this person? Does your aura feel stronger and more vibrant? You may wish to rest after this visualization, have something to eat or smudge your aura. You may also want to cleanse the area where you did your visualization or send out gratitude to your spiritual helpers.
Remember that cutting cords is a loving and respectful process. It doesn’t mean that you’re abandoning the person or don’t care about them anymore. Instead it’s a process of release and a way for both of you to move toward spiritual healing and wholeness.
