The Power of Cord Cutting: How to Release Energetic Ties That Hold You Back
Have you ever felt drained after thinking about someone? Or found yourself stuck in old emotional patterns you can’t seem to shake? You might be carrying energetic cords — invisible ties that connect you to people, places, and experiences from your past.
Cord cutting is a sacred practice that helps you lovingly release these attachments, creating space for healing, freedom, and fresh energy.
In this post, you’ll learn what cord cutting really is, why it’s so powerful, and how you can begin the process for yourself.
What Are Energetic Cords?
Energetic cords are unseen connections that form between you and others through emotional interactions. They’re not always negative — cords can exist between loved ones, friends, even pets — but sometimes, they become heavy, draining, or toxic.
Common signs you may need to cut cords:
Constantly thinking about someone (even if you don’t want to)
Feeling emotionally exhausted after seeing or thinking of a person
Reliving painful memories
Struggling to move forward from an old relationship, job, or situation
Sensing a lingering emotional pull
Important: Cord cutting isn’t about cutting people out of your life harshly. It’s about releasing unhealthy attachments so your relationships (with others and yourself) can be lighter, healthier, and more empowering.
Why Cord Cutting Is So Powerful
When you cut energetic cords:
You reclaim lost energy and vitality
You free yourself from outdated emotional patterns
You open the door for new opportunities and healthier connections
You feel clearer, lighter, and more grounded in your own energy
Many people report feeling immediate shifts after a cord cutting ritual — like a burden lifting or an emotional fog clearing.
Tip: Cord cutting works across all types of relationships — ex-partners, friends, colleagues, even past versions of yourself that you're ready to release.
How to Perform a Simple Cord Cutting Ritual
You don’t need to be an expert or have fancy tools to start cord cutting. Here’s a simple method you can try:
1. Create a Sacred Space:
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. You may wish to light a candle, burn herbs like rosemary or mugwort, or play calming music.
2. Center Yourself:
Take a few deep breaths. Feel yourself grounded to the earth, supported and safe.
3. Call in Support:
Invite your spirit guides, angels, or higher self to assist you. Trust that you are surrounded by love.
4. Visualize the Cord:
Close your eyes and picture the person or situation you want to release. Imagine a cord connecting you — see where it attaches to your body.
5. Cut the Cord:
Visualise a bright, loving sword or beam of light gently severing the cord. See the ends dissolving into pure light. Affirm:
"I release all energetic cords that no longer serve my highest good. I reclaim my energy with love and gratitude."
6. Ground and Refill Your Energy:
Imagine golden light filling your body where the cord once was. Breathe deeply, anchoring yourself in the present moment.
Tip: You might need to repeat the process more than once, especially for deep or long-held cords.

Remember: Releasing Is a Form of Love
Cord cutting isn’t about anger, blame, or rejection. It’s an act of self-love — a way of honouring your own energy, healing your heart, and allowing everyone involved to move forward freely.
You deserve to feel light, clear and fully connected to your true self again.
