Understanding Energetic Cords: Impact, Removal, and Path to Harmony

How do I remove them?

What are Energetic Cords?

Simply put, energetic cords are how we often transfer our energy from one person, pet, or Spirit to another. Cords, which oftentimes look like ropes or iridescent noodles, can attach to any part of the body, but are mostly connected in our aura between the throat (throat chakra) and genital area (root chakra) to a part of the body's aura.

How do cords get attached to us?

We allow someone to connect to our aura, oftentimes unconsciously, when we feel “connected” to someone, either good or bad. It’s very common to have cords for family members, sexual partners, close friends, pets, and mortal enemies (generally people we have a karmic contract with, AKA, our life lesson people).

Are they bad for me?

Cords can be positive or negative depending on who we are attached to and how many people we've allowed to attach to us. (More is not better!)

Some people give us warm, loving energy. We feel better about ourselves and feel more loved. When one person needs more courage, for instance, their partner can pass their courage to them through the cord.

While other people or spirits that we are connected to drain our energy. I call those psychic vampires. Often, they have chaotic personalities, a 'woe-is-me' attitude, and low energy. Some will drain all their shame and guilt into you, leaving them feeling better about themselves, while you feel drained, small, worthless, or shame-ridden.

In some relationships, there is an unspoken agreement that you express X, Y, and Z, and I will express A, B, and C. I find this very common in couples with stereotypical gender roles. The husband expresses only “male” feelings, such as anger, jealousy, and pride, while the wife expresses only “female” emotions, such as sadness, fear, and love.

When I tap into them, it looks like a pipe connecting them with plungers on each side, pushing down the “unacceptable” feelings, which then get expressed by their partner. I often find this in family dynamics where one person is expressing all of the feelings. While the rest of the family points out how “emotional,” “sensitive,” or “crazy” they are and how “normal” and “balanced” the rest of the family is. Oftentimes, those expressing all of the feelings end up in treatment. When they stop expressing the family's dysfunctional feelings and dynamics, someone else in the family takes on their role.

When you have past relationships, those cords remain intact until we remove them. They can start to look or feel decayed, grey, or black, have knots or blockages in them, or get crusty-looking. These can drain your energy, make you feel foggy, or overwhelmed.

Removing Chords at the Base Slowly is the Best Way to Remove Them Permanently

How do I remove them?

I have seen people use energetic scissors, knives, or axes. While these sever the connection, they still leave the root of the connection in your life force or aura. Like weeds, they tend to grow back. Living things have a strong desire to live; energetic cords are no different.

One way I heard about is to take 2 candles and tie a string around them. Then let the flames burn the string, which releases the connection. While this works energetically, I DO NOT recommend doing this because it can set off the smoke detector or start a fire. No bueno.

The way the Angels have shown me how to release cords is to:

1. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths. This will help you feel the cords and get grounded.

   
   

2. With your eyes still closed, feel for cords in your aura. (This may take some time, 3-5 minutes)

   1. Cords may feel like ropes floating in the air or pipes deeply connecting you.

   2. They can be dark, decayed, or bright colors.

      
      

3. When you sense one, ask your Spirit Guide or an Angel to help you remove it.

   
   

4. Feel where it is, and gently pull on the cord until it's released.

   1. Think about how you pull weeds, from the base and pull up or out until it gives.

   2. You may feel a popping in your aura, or you may feel relieved, happy, grounded, at peace, etc.

      
      

5. You can repeat the process and remove more cords by repeating steps 2-4.

   
   

6. When you are done, take some deep breaths, thank your guides for their help, and slowly open your eyes.
   

**NOTE:  It’s much easier to remove cords with the people who are no longer in your life emotionally. If you have regular contact with someone, the cords may be difficult (or impossible) to remove. They can also come back, especially when you have strong feelings towards them. It may take several attempts to remove the cords permanently.

You have to resolve the feelings first, then removing the cords becomes much easier and permanent. You will be glad you have removed the cords of people who no longer serve your highest good. You will have more energy, peace of mind, and clarity of who you really are.

Anyone can do these things on their own, but sometimes we enjoy practicing with others like us.
