"Why do certain memories or people keep haunting you, even when you want to move on? What if there was a way to break free—without losing yourself?"

Have you ever felt tied to a memory, a person, or a past event, even when you desperately wanted to move on? Sometimes, no matter how much time has passed, certain emotions keep resurfacing—pulling us back into pain, self-doubt, or resentment. I found myself in this loop, struggling to shake off the emotional weight of an old connection. That’s when I discovered the powerful practice of *cord cutting*—a spiritual and energetic process of releasing attachments that no longer serve us.  

This isn’t about forgetting people or erasing the past. It’s about reclaiming our energy, setting emotional boundaries, and choosing peace over pain. Today, I want to share my experience with cord cutting—how it helped me, why it works, and how you can use it to free yourself from lingering emotional ties. 

What is Cord Cutting?

Cord cutting is an energetic practice that helps remove unhealthy attachments we have with people, situations, or emotions. In spiritual terms, every relationship or interaction we have forms an *energetic cord*—an invisible connection that carries emotions, thoughts, and experiences between two people.  

Some of these cords are *healthy—like the bonds we share with loved ones, mentors, or friends who uplift and support us. But others become **draining and toxic*, holding onto past pain, unresolved emotions, and unhealthy cycles.  

Have you ever:  

- Constantly thought about a person or event, even when you didn’t want to?  

- Felt emotionally exhausted after interacting with someone, even from a distance?  

- Experienced random waves of sadness, anger, or fear connected to a past situation?  

If so, you might be carrying an *energetic cord* that needs to be released.  

Cord cutting allows us to *detach from the pain, not the person*. It helps us break free from the emotional weight of the past and move forward with clarity and peace.  

Why Do We Hold On to Energetic Cords?

Sometimes, we hold on to these attachments without realizing it. Here are some common reasons why people struggle to let go:  

1. Unfinished Emotional Business – When things end abruptly or without closure, our mind keeps looping back to find answers.  

2. Guilt or Regret – We question if we could have done something differently, keeping the past alive in our thoughts.  

3. Fear of Losing the Connection – Even when a relationship is unhealthy, a part of us fears the emptiness that follows letting go.  

4. Subconscious Beliefs – If we believe we don’t deserve peace, we unconsciously cling to pain, as if suffering validates our experience.  

Recognizing these reasons is the first step toward *taking back control* of our emotional well-being.  

My Cord Cutting Experience: A Step Toward Freedom

"As I closed my eyes, I could almost feel the weight of my past pressing against my chest. The golden sword in my vision glowed, radiating warmth—like a reminder that I was stronger than the pain tethering me." 

Step 1: Creating a Sacred Space 

I prepared my environment with intention. I lit a candle, played soft *healing frequency music*, and took a few deep breaths to center myself. It’s important to be in a peaceful space where you won’t be disturbed.  

Step 2: Setting My Intention

Before starting, I made it clear to myself:  

“I am releasing all energetic attachments that no longer serve me. I choose peace, healing, and freedom.”

Your intention is the most powerful part of the process. When you truly decide to let go, the shift begins.  

Step 3: Visualizing the Cords  

I closed my eyes and imagined *two cords* connecting me to the emotional weight I carried:  

- One golden cord, representing my strength, lessons, and self-love.  

- One dark cord, filled with all the negative energy—pain, doubt, and resentment.  

I visualized these cords extending from me, tied to past experiences, and felt their presence in my energy field.  

Step 4: Cutting the Cord

In my mind, I imagined holding a *bright golden sword—a tool of healing and protection. With deep intention, I saw myself **cutting the dark cord*. As it broke, I felt a rush of lightness, as if a weight had been lifted.  

I visualized the negative energy *dissolving into the universe*, leaving me lighter, freer, and at peace.  

Step 5: Sealing My Energy Field 

After cutting the cord, I placed my hands over my heart and repeated:  

*“I am whole. I am free. Only love and peace remain.”*  

To seal the energy shift, I imagined a *protective white light* surrounding me, ensuring that this release was permanent.  

What I Felt After Cord Cutting 

The effects were immediate and profound. I felt *a sense of relief, as if I had just dropped a heavy backpack I didn’t even realize I was carrying. The obsessive thoughts faded, the emotional triggers softened, and for the first time in a long time, I felt **in control of my own emotions*.  

In the following days, I noticed:  

- Less emotional reactivity – My triggers felt weaker, like echoes instead of storms.  

- Mental clarity – I stopped dwelling on the past and focused more on the present.  

- Inner peace– A quiet strength replaced my anxiety and overthinking.  

Of course, healing is a journey, and some emotions may resurface. But now, I know how to release them instead of holding on.  

How You Can Try Cord Cutting  

If you feel like you’re carrying emotional baggage from the past, cord cutting can help. Here’s a simple way to do it:  

1. Find a Quiet Space

Choose a place where you feel safe and calm. Light a candle, play soft music, or hold a crystal (like black obsidian or selenite) to amplify the energy.  

2. Set Your Intention

Speak your intention clearly:  

*“I release all energy that no longer serves me. I reclaim my peace and power.”*  

3. Visualize the Cords

Close your eyes and imagine the cords—one holding love and strength, and the other filled with negative energy.  

4. Cut the Negative Cord

Visualize yourself using *a golden sword or scissors of light* to cut the unhealthy cord. Watch it dissolve and feel the weight lifting off your heart.  

5. Protect & Affirm Your Energy 

Surround yourself with a shield of light and affirm:  

- “I am free.”  

- “Only love and positivity remain in my life.”  

- “I choose peace over pain.”  

6. Close the Ritual

Take deep breaths, thank yourself for this act of self-care, and drink some water to ground yourself.  

Final Thoughts: You Deserve Emotional Freedom

Cord cutting isn’t about forgetting—it’s about healing. It’s a way of saying, *“I honor my past, but I won’t let it control me.”* If something (or someone) is taking up too much space in your mind and heart, you have the power to release it.  

Letting go isn’t easy, but it’s necessary for growth. And once you do, you’ll realize that *peace was waiting for you all along.*
