Releasing Cords

Every experience we have, person we think about or talk to will create an energetic connection. A place or area that has experienced trauma or death will at times retain energy. It is the same for when an area feels really positive – we can get feelings of peace, healing and happiness. A simple example of energy cords is when we are thinking about someone and the phone rings and it is that person! You have been on some level picking up the energy cord they have sent out to you or they have been picking up on the energy cord you sent them. Remember - we send out cords when we think, talk to or share an activity or experience with someone or somewhere.

We can leave behind parts of ourselves as energy in places and with people. Think of a relationship you had with someone or somewhere that ended but you couldn’t shake the feelings attached. You were still in some way energetically connected.

On a day to day basis we may have thought of or spoken with many people, at home, at work, strangers on the street. There may be times in our lives when our friends or family require some support from us or we require some support from them. Though unintentional, this can affect us energetically. We may experience tiredness, agitation, frustration, headaches or feeling sick.

Releasing cords works both ways. It is an ideal practice to release energy cords from people we have any form of communication with. This is especially important if we are a caregiver in any context.

In every conceivable context of communication, experience or relationship there is a connection of energy. The strength or impact often determines the strength of that connection of energy. A simple telephone call, a thought of someone, an experience sets in motion the seed of energy from you to the situation.

As cords of energy become stronger energy depletion will follow. Cords from traumatic or negative experiences can have negative impact on your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual life. We are connected by these cords of energy depletion in everyday life and experiences. If you work with people in energy demanding professions or in the healing arts you can be impacted.

Here is a simple yet powerful way to clear such cords and yourself of energy depletion. Depending on your experience with the person or event you are releasing cords from, the process can be quite an emotional process. You may find one or more cords harder to remove. You may find it helpful to do the process with an experienced healer or partner and verbally communicate throughout the releasing process.

Once you have begun to reclaim your energy you will notice subtle differences as well as more noticeable ones. Emotional attachment to the person/event in question will be removed; you will feel lighter, happier, more in control. This process does nothing harmful to the other person. You are reclaiming your energy and removing negative mental and emotional attachment to the person in question and the event. Work on your past and current hurts, relationships and experiences and begin to LIVE.
