Every time she closed her eyes, she was swept into another daunting memory, and the memories so powerful she felt as if she was reliving them.
“Why is this happening to me?” she cried. Rachel took a deep breath in an attempt to calm her mind. “This isn’t a normal cold,” Rachel thought.
Her heart filled with old aches and pains making it difficult to breathe. Rachel was a strong woman who could usually withstand anything, but this sickness had brought her to her knees.
She wept alone on her bed, and as the tears streamed down her soft cheeks, a brilliant idea began to form. Rachel scrambled out of bed and walked directly to her bookshelf. She pulled out a book called Angel Medicine and flipped directly to the page bookmarked energetic cords and emotional attachments.
After devouring the information, she required, Rachel slipped on sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and put her hair in a high messy bun. She gathered the necessary items to perform a releasing ceremony (Paper, pot, matches, sage) and made her way into the backyard.
You see, Rachel like many others was suffering from negative energetic/etheric cords. She knew it was time to finally severe these chords as they were affecting her physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
An etheric cord is a hollow tube that runs energy back and forth to a person or object. We often form chords with those we are intimate with or close to. This chord acts as a channel of communication, which of course when the relationship is healthy can be quite pleasing.
However, when the relationship turns ugly, the chord still remains and allows the sending and receiving of psychic energy. These cords are detrimental to new relationships and often take up space in one’s heart thus inhibiting the ability to fully move on, and increasing the chances of one to be stuck in the past.
Symptoms of Negative Cording
Suddenly, she felt as if there were hands grasped around her throat. Struggling, she closed her eyes and found herself standing in front of her ex. “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay home? You’re dressed like a slut,” Jackson spat.
“I am not your girlfriend anymore Jack, and I can do what I want,” Rachel said slightly intimated. Jackson smiled, moved closer, and placed one hand around her small neck, slowly closing off her air supply. “Jack stop it!” she cried.
Rachel kicked her legs and was able to knee him hard in the stomach. Doubling over, Jackson dropped Rachel to her knees. Following her instinct, Rachel picked herself off the ground and ran.
Falling back into the present and her physical body, Rachel opened her eyes to feel the small piece of paper with his name written on it. It felt as heavy as a brick. She lit a match, sparked the paper, and watched as his name slowly burned into ash.
As the fire licked at the paper, Rachel felt a hand release off of her throat. “I release you,” she whispered with every intention to severe the etheric cord that once connected her to Jackson.
Take a second and imagine all of the people you may be connected with, all of the cords that could possibly be draining you. Funny, we take the time to clean our physical body every day. We brush our teeth and take showers, yet we don’t think to clean our energetic bodies regularly.
By cutting old cords and attachments, you are making room for the new. You will gain freedom from another, the freedom I know that you desire. You won’t have to receive random thoughts about your ex’s or feel anger from an old best friend.
Cutting cords is an intentional process. You have to desire truly to move on, and stop connecting with the other person or object. If you have any secret urge to carry on with the open connection, cutting the cord will not work!
It is solely based on your truest desires. You have all of the power to sever a cord with anyone who is bothering you psychically or intruding on your emotions or thoughts.
A failed attempt at cutting a cord indicates that you may not be ready to move on yet. This leaves an opportunity to question why you are not ready, and why you are still holding on. Possibly there is a lesson you still have to learn.
Many of my clients suffer from negative attachments, so I created a ceremonial technique to release them.
