How to Cut Cords
How to Cut Energetic Cords and Reclaim Your Energy
Have you ever noticed that just thinking about someone from your past—an ex, an old friend, or even a difficult family member—can still stir up emotion or leave you feeling drained?
That’s likely because you still have an energetic cord connecting you to them.
Energetic cords are invisible attachments that form between people through emotional, mental, or physical interaction. Some cords are healthy, like the bond between a parent and child or two soul-aligned partners. But others can become heavy, tangled, or toxic, especially when the relationship involves pain, resentment, or control.
The good news? You can cut those cords to release what no longer serves you and reclaim your energy.
✂️ What Does It Mean to Cut Cords?
Cutting cords doesn’t mean erasing someone from your life (though it can be part of moving on). It means releasing the energetic tie that is draining, unhealthy, or no longer aligned with your growth.
By cutting cords, you’re not harming or punishing the other person—you’re simply choosing to free yourself.
🌿 Signs You Might Need to Cut a Cord
You feel emotionally triggered when thinking of a person from your past.
Their energy or words replay in your mind long after you're apart.
You feel a sense of guilt, obligation, or fear around the connection.
You’ve tried to move on but still feel stuck or tied to them.
You feel drained or anxious after interactions.
💫 How to Cut Energetic Cords
You don’t need to be a healer or energy worker to do this. Here’s a gentle practice you can do on your own:
1. Create a Safe Space
Sit or lie down in a quiet place. Take a few deep breaths. Imagine yourself surrounded in white or golden light.
2. Call in Support
Ask for help from your spirit guides, angels, or Divine source—whatever resonates with you. You can say: "I ask for divine support in releasing any energetic cords that are no longer serving me."
3. Visualize the Cord
Bring the person to mind. Imagine a cord between you—notice where it connects to your body. It might be your heart, solar plexus, or another area.
4. Cut or Release the Cord
Imagine yourself gently cutting the cord with a sword of light, scissors, or dissolving it in healing energy. I use a selenite crystal to cut cords. As the cord is released, see the connection retract from both of you and disappear.
5. Heal the Space
Imagine light pouring into any place where the cord was attached. Fill yourself with love, healing, and peace.
6. Affirm Your Release
Say: "I release this energetic connection with love. I call my energy back to me, fully and completely."
Repeat as Needed
Some cords may require more than one release, especially if the emotional charge is strong or the relationship was long-term. Be gentle with yourself.
