Etheric cords are energetic cords that form when two people connect with each other. The deeper the relationship, the stronger the cord. Through every interaction, thought, emotion triggered and intimate moment – the cord is continuously growing.
Etheric cords work like garden hoses, sending energy back and forth between the two people. When the cord is healthy it can create a vibrant, energetic resource exchange, but when the cord is unhealthy it can often lead to a sense of control, unhappiness in the relationship, and an uneven exchange of effort and energy. Like everything in life, etheric cords need to have a sense of balance.
Most of us will know intuitively how strong our connection is with someone, but if you’re not sure, a good measure is how strongly or how often you think or feel towards someone, especially if the thoughts are obsessive, manipulative, or anxious. We are constantly making cords with many people and even objects. It is important to cut the cords when you recognize energy depletion, toxic tendencies, a breakup, or when there is obsessive thinking about the person or relationship.
The Cord Cutting Ritual:
Find a quiet place where you can be alone and not be disturbed. Start by relaxing your body and taking a few deep breaths. Once you are relaxed, close your eyes and call on your spirit guides or angels to help you through the process.
When you feel the presence of your guides, you can use the following mantra:
“Dear Guides, I call upon you to help me heal, release and cut all etheric cords that no longer serve my higher purpose. I ask that all cords attached to me that are not aligned with love, light and positive attention be released. Help me to let them go and surround me with a healing light to protect me from future attachments. Thank you.”
You may want to repeat the mantra 2-3 times. You can also close your eyes and visualize the cords being released, as well as the healing light surrounding you.
