Lesson 2: Threat - Cords 

Unraveling Energy Cords: What They Are and How to Remove Them

Have you ever felt emotionally or energetically tethered to someone, even after a relationship has ended? Or perhaps you sense a lingering connection to a past situation that continues to trigger negative emotions? The concept of energy cords might explain some of this. This is another “threat” to your energetic health.

What are Energy Cords?

Energy cords are invisible, energetic connections that form between people, places, or even objects. They're created through strong emotional experiences, intense interactions, or repeated contact. These cords can be positive or negative, carrying with them the residues of love, joy, anger, resentment, or other impactful emotions.

Think of them as energetic pipelines that facilitate the flow of thoughts, feelings, and sometimes even physical sensations. They are ways of sharing information through various energy sources. Cords that occur in the front of the body are mutually agreed upon, known exchanges. Energy cords in the back of the body represent unconscious agreements you have made with another.

Healthy cords are connections that are made when you are consenting to an exchange of energy in a way that is beneficial for all involved. We all cord each other when we are interacting. The cords, when used healthily, are removed when the interaction ends. The exception to this is children under the age of 12. Ideally, they have a healthy cord exchange between their parent(s) and or guardian(s) to draw energy to support the feeling of safety and security at all times. If cord-cutting needs to be done, leave these cords intact, or reestablish them after the healing is done.

The primary energy centers where cording happens are":

• Safety and Security

• Emotions, Sexuality

• Sense of Self and Individuality

• Love

• Communication

• Inner Knowing

• Collective Knowing (agreed upon group experiences)

Why Remove Energy Cords?

Unhealthy energy cords can impede your emotional well-being and personal growth. They can cause you to feel like you don’t know your own worth, have self-doubt or have unclear relationships with why you do what you do.

Unhealthy energy cords are any cords that continue after an exchange is done. Once a conversation or interaction is over, the cord should be removed. When it remains, it leaks energy and causes the auric field to become unorganized and therefore unhealthy. You can also be corded in an unhealthy way if one person is trying to dominate or “vampire” the other person in the exchange.

Signs of Unhealthy Energy Cords

• Unexplained fatigue or emotional drainage: You feel consistently depleted around a certain individual or when you think about a past experience.

• Obsessive or intrusive thoughts: You can't seem to get someone or something off your mind, even if the relationship or situation is no longer a part of your life.

• Lingering emotional triggers: A particular person or memory evokes intense emotional responses from you long after the situation has passed.

• Feeling another person's emotions: You find your moods mirroring someone else's, even when there's no logical explanation for it.

How to Cut Energy Cords

Nothing can plug into your energy without your consent. Learning to scan your energy field for these cords and gently removing them with intention is all you need to do.

Think of it like unplugging a lamp. You don’t have to cut it out of the wall. You simply remove It from its power source. This is how you remove cords, with a gentle, loving intention.

Visualization Meditation:

• Find a quiet place to sit comfortably.

• Neutralize your awareness by releasing the idea that anything is wrong or needs to be fixed.

• Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.

• Imagine the person or situation you want to release a connection with.

• Visualize the energetic cord between you, noting its color, texture, and thickness.

• Take a deep breath and see yourself effortlessly removing the cord as if unplugging it from yourself.

• Affirm: "I release any unhealthy energetic cords connecting me to [person or situation] and reclaim my energy now.”

• Feel a sense of release and imagine a protective shield of light surrounding you.

Cutting energy cords can bring greater emotional liberation and a stronger sense of energetic sovereignty. If you feel burdened by past connections, give these techniques a try. It's a powerful way to reclaim your energy and create space for positive growth in your life.
