Energetic cord cutting. Let go of what’s draining you. Reclaim your energy.
When we connect with people, places, habits, or even ideas, we create energetic cords — invisible links that pass energy back and forth. Most of these are harmless or even supportive… but over time, some cords start to drain us.
Cord cutting is a gentle but powerful practice to help you release attachments that no longer serve your highest and greatest good, so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned.
🔌 What Are Energetic Cords?
Energetic cords are unseen threads that form through:
- Relationships (current or past)
- Emotional exchanges
- Old beliefs or mental programming
- Physical places
- Addictions, habits, or looping thoughts
Some cords remain after we’ve moved on from a person or situation, which can leave us feeling:
- Tired or “strung out”
- Mentally scattered or overburdened
- Emotionally tied to something we’ve outgrown
- Drained or distracted without knowing why
If you’ve been feeling like your energy is being pulled in a hundred directions — it might be time for some cord cutting.
✨ When Should You Cut Cords?
Cord cutting is helpful when:
- You feel energetically “tangled up” with someone
- You’re overthinking or reliving a past experience
- You’re holding onto resentment, guilt, or longing
- A relationship has ended (romantic, platonic, or professional)
- You feel overly drained after being around someone
- You want to return your focus to you
You don’t need to wait for things to feel “bad” — cord cutting can be a regular part of energetic hygiene, like cleansing and grounding.
🌿 How to Cut Energetic Cords
Here’s a simple ritual to try when you’re ready to let go:
Step-by-Step Cord Cutting Visualization
- Get grounded
Sit or lie down comfortably. Take several slow, deep breaths. Cleanse, ground, and protect your energy first. - Set your intention
Silently or aloud, say: “I now release all energetic cords that do not serve my highest and greatest good.” - Visualize the cords
Imagine cords extending from your body — from your chest, back, shoulders, arms, even your head. See them connecting to people, thoughts, or situations. - Cut the cords
Picture a large golden pair of scissors (or a sword, flame, or laser—whatever resonates) slicing through the cords. Watch them drop away and dissolve. - Heal the space
Envision a soft green healing light surrounding your body, sealing any open energy points and restoring balance. - Give thanks
Thank your higher self, spirit team, or the Universe for assisting in the clearing.
🛁 Quick Cord Cutting in the Shower
If you’re short on time:
- While showering, move your hands in a chopping motion around your body
- Say: “I release all cords that no longer serve me.”
- Visualize the water washing them away and down the drain
🙏 Optional: Call in Spiritual Support
If it aligns with your beliefs, you can ask for help:
- “Angels, guides, divine light—please help me cut and clear all cords that do not serve me.”
- Many people call on Archangel Michael, known for energetic protection and cutting ties
🌟 Why Intention Is Everything
The tool you use doesn’t matter as much as your intention. Whether you visualize scissors, say a prayer, or simply declare “I release this,” your energy will respond to your focus.
The more you practice, the easier it becomes to sense when cords form — and release them with love and clarity.
Mantra
“I release all cords that no longer serve me. I reclaim my energy with love and peace.”
Journal Prompt
After cord cutting, reflect on the experience:
- What cords did you sense or feel?
- How did your body or emotions shift?
- What part of your energy feels clearer or stronger now?
Bonus: Write a short letter (you don’t have to send it) to someone you’re releasing a cord with. Burn or tear it as a symbolic release.
